It sounds like he's using a program, which I really don't know if it's such a good idea, IMHO, since they're usually not 100% accurate. Although if your Japanese is good enough I suppose having one of those computer translators assist wouldn't be so bad.
The thing is there's just so much text (even the PSX version's on 2 discs, right?) and not to mention the way its stored, I think that was the primary problem.

What sort of technical problems? Maybe people on these Forum boards can assist with that... From observation, there's a lot of people with a lot of know-how on these boards. ^^

If anyone's wondering, the old "wave" logo and its sound effect came from a take on the word "konami" itself ("little wave").
Speaking of which, the PC-98 version of Policenauts has to have the best-sounding version of it. It's like the THX of the Konami logo.
ooh I'd love to hear that... also does the PC98 version of the game use the KCE Japan ditty like the one on MGS for PSX? If not, when did that start? the PSX version?
this post is inteneded to (hopefully) add fuel to the fire. after some research and searching ive stumbled upon this site in hopes of a english translated Policenauts.... Please keep up the work!! im really looking forward to being able to play this game in english one day!
anyone who's awesome enough to translate this game just so more people are able to play it, deserve more then kind words. I really apperciate the work and commitment. It's exciting...

The new word is still the old word, I'm afraid. If there's any progress we'll announce it here. Snatcher is just speaking from the point of when the project began 5 years ago. (Can't believe it's been that long... Time flies all right.)
Anyone proficient in MIPS ASM should contact Snatcher, either by email or PM.
You know, for those curious there's some more Policenauts videos (of the intro this time) that've surfaced on youtube. They're of the PC9821 version, though through an emulator...
