English Translation Patch for Rent-A-Hero No. 1 on Dreamcast Now Available | Fan Scene

Monday, May 1st, 2023

The Dreamcast version of Rent-A-Hero No. 1 has finally received a full English translation patch thanks to the wonderful work of VincentNL and their team. This action RPG is a remake of the 1991 Mega Drive game Rent-A-Hero and features a humorous send-up of SEGA themselves, with the game putting you in control of a “hero for hire” who must perform various heroic tasks and odd jobs around the city.

A partially translated version of the unreleased Western Xbox version was leaked in 2008 and has been the only way to play any version of the game in English until now.

Click here to download the English translation patch for Rent-A-Hero No. 1 by VincentNL. You will need to source your own disc image of the game and the necessary tools to patch it yourself.

Obscure Dreamcast Puzzler ‘The Lost Golem’ Receives Fan Translation

Monday, December 16th, 2019

The Japan-only puzzle game The Lost Golem is a bit of an obscure release, only seeing under 500 sales during its original launch. This has lead to it becoming quite the cult favourite among Dreamcast collectors. It’s not the most difficult thing to play without a knowledge of Japanese, but thanks to community efforts, the game has now received an English fan translation and its a welcome addition for anyone looking to understand the game a little better.

The English fan translation of The Lost Golem is available to download from Romhacking.net now. You will need a CDI file of the original game in order to apply the patch. This can then be run in emulation or on an actual Dreamcast if burned to disc and booted with Utopia.

The Lost Golem is a fairly simple title where you control a golem who is guiding a king throughout a castle. You must pick up and place walls in order to change his direction and guide him to the exit. You can see the game in action via this first look video by our friend pcwzrd13:

Original Sakura Wars Game Now Available in English Thanks to Fans

Monday, December 16th, 2019

While hugely popular in Japan, the Sakura Wars franchise has rarely seen light in the West with 2005’s Sakura Wars: So Long, My Love being the only entry to receive a Western port in 2010. The Sakura Wars franchise is often a cross between a tactical mech-based RPG and a dating simulation, making it one of SEGA’s more off-beat and experimental titles.

Thankfully a group of dedicated fans have now completed an English fan translation of the original Sakura Wars game for SEGA Saturn, which you can download by clicking here. The patch and instructions on how to apply it are included in the download. This fan translation can only be played through emulation or a modified SEGA Saturn. Congratulations to CJ_iwakura, NoahSteam, Crouching_Mouse and MatatabiMitsu for their efforts and making Sakura Wars available to Western audiences for the first time.
