Well, I'm officially back online as of Friday having been without Internet for about 2 weeks. I just finished fixing some links in the legacy Ys Complete and Xak III sites. For those that care, that old Xak III legacy site has now moved to this server, so now it's right here. The old link is dead since I'm no longer with that ISP and they deleted everything there. As such, all my translation project legacy is now on one server. I kept using the 10 MB web space they provided to reduce server load here, but that's over now. No biggie. Now as for why this site was down, that was NO-IP's deleting policy if you don't log into your free account once in a while. The server was fine for all that time, just that the DNS nick.serveblog.net would no longer resolve to the correct IP. Anyhow, that's it for now. I'm still getting settled in with the new ISP and am cleaning a few things up.
I've finally released a special utility that I've been cooking up in my dungeon here, one that the PC Engine/TurboGrafx-16 scene has needed for a long time... Introducing, TurboRip v1.00 - My patented PC Engine/TurboGrafx-16 CD-ROM ISO/WAV/CUE Ripper. Even though I mostly left the PC-Engine/TurboGrafx-16 scene behind when I officially ended RIGG, I still have some interest left, so with that, I leave the scene one very important and soon to be very valuable gift. Check the link for full details.
So I finally finished off the few remaining things I wanted to go back and do for this version just moments ago!! It's now available in the Downloads Area. Go get it!!
Yeah, that's right folks, the new English Patch Ver. 1.27 for Ys I Complete has been released, so get to the Downloads area and spread the word too!
Also, I've gotten pretty far a making an Internal Portal Page for Ys I Complete. That's right here, linkable from the Translation Projects index:
Okie doke. You can login with your username as the password since I had to reset it, and you'll be fine. Then you can change it back to whatever it was obviously. There's no forcing of an email check as well.
Anyway, I preserved most everything in everyone's profile, so yippie. Now I can play with other things related to the portal frontend.
EDIT: Relogin if you noticed you're logged out BTW, also, for recent newcomers. Those crazzzzzy cookies...
Well, I was playing around with a CMS package called MKPortal the other day, and after awhile, I decided to move to that instead of continuing on with wordpress. Unfortunately, it doesn't support myBB, so I had to also switch to SMF forum software. I'll try to recreate all the threads and users accounts, though, so we'll see how that goes.
Anyhow, stand by for later this week or the next for updates and a new Ys I Complete v1.27 patch I wanna release that does version checking with the server. If that all works out, I will apply the version checking system to all new patches in the future.
Welcome to my blog portal! It is I, NightWolve, your friendly neighborhood Ys fan translator/romhacker. Yes, indeed, I've made my triumphant return! I still exist and am still cooking up new projects for Falcom’s Ys games. I’ll leave it to your imagination to figure out exactly for which ones… *ahem*
WHY would @XSEEDGames insult me by calling me "Hitler" when I would NEVER call them "Stalinists?" Oh well, I try so hard to be their friend - and maybe someday that will happen! twitter.com/realDona
Just got blocked by @XSEEDGames on Twitter a second ago.. I just wanted to express glee to the jerks for having kept their divisive, poisonous, criminal hands off of the new Ys VIII title & Gurumin, well, they had no choice, NISA poached everything out from under them! Live by the sword, perish by it... It took another ruthless ugly competitor to bring them to justice by taking the Ys series away, that sweet Falcom partnership, which they NEVER deserved!
Psycho Kirsten "omgfloofy" Miller called me a "f@gg0t" on Reddit by proxy with an animated meme! In a recent exchange, she spammed me with this: https://imgur.com/wA Who is Kirsten ? She did work for X.X.XSEED on Ys Celceta and is credited in the Special Thanks section... Don't they get more embarrassing the more you learn ? In the aftermath of the terrorist attack at the Pulse nightclub where 50 people were executed, does dropping "f@gg0t" still fly in so a nonchalant fashion ? Source Link.
Is XSEED [Lame] "Games" waging a "war on women," specifically "little women" ? Do they pander to animated ped0philia-loving perverts ? Man, these headlines write themselves! Hah! Attaboy Tom, thanks for the lulz at least in the midst of all your criminality!
It's been 11 years since I managed a new PC Engine project, but I have indeed returned to the retro console platform I first started the ole fan translation gig with! Finally took the time to mention it here, >> Emerald Dragon <<.
1) Kinda funny, but Ken Berry, Director of Publishing of XSEED Games, did a Facebook block on me some time back... Heh-heh. Guess I should feel honored! That's in addition to Thomas "WyrdWad" Lipschultz of course after I sent him a PM. 2) OK, REALLY LOLOLOL FUNNY, X.X.XSEED Games is under fire by HuffingtonPuffington for what "may be one of the most despicable video games of all time!!!" HAHAHAHAHAHA!!! Lipschultz is on the Comments section defending his two-bit, perv, criminal cheat of a company against the author of the blog article to boot, so is even the X.X.XSEED Cock-Flasher, it's a full-on freakshow! More of my thoughts here! Oh lordy, the delicious irony and glee here, I can't contain expressing it!
