hey! question about applying the text dump to the saturn ver

Post by rumpleteazer »

I have an actual copy of Snatcher on the saturn and I'm trying to apply an english patch. I downloaded the SJS file, however I have no clue how I'm going to go about applying to to my copy. If it's even possible.

So any help would be appreciate, and sorry if this question has ben posted and answered on the boards somewhere already or if this is the wrong board.

just go down to version and files.

There is one thats just posted online, in html. Then if you click "Sega Saturn Snatcher Text Dump" under version and files you get a zipped ".sjs".

I may be mistaking, but I'm assuming that file is some kind of replacement for the japanese text.

I think you are mistaken man...sorry.

That is the japanese text dump from the Sega Saturn Snatcher yes, but it's by no means an english patch for the game.
The only versions of the game that were japanese and are now in english (have been translated/patched) that I know of is the MSX version of Snatcher and SD Snatcher.

There was talks of some of the good folks here translating the PCE and 32-bit versions (SS/PSX), but as far as I know nothing has been done progress wise and the tasks have been basically abandoned.

Man, thats disappointing. Thanks for the reply though, I really appreciate it.

I guess I'll just have to do it the hard way and just have a script open. Excited to play, even though I heard that the saturn version is one of the weaker ones. I saw the game super cheap and I'm some what of a saturn collector so I couldn't pass it up. Can't wait to pop it in!

The 32-bit versions have a few extra scenes graphic wise and some tiny extra animations, and also new music, but most of it isn't good and in general the Sega CD version is the best :mrgreen:

Why not give the Sega CD version a whirl? Pal.

That is if you haven't already played it.
