That old chap Gideon Zhi's at it again After a long time with no status update, he's revealed that his translation of SFC RPG Dark Law~Meaning of Death is nearly finished.
From the mouth of the man himself:
Assembly code (so far) in Dark Law: 102KB. Number of variable-width font hacks: 6 (so far - it probably needs at least two more.) Amount of raw text: 232,112 bytes. Number of advils taken: 10 (best guess.)
Here are some of the features you can expect to see in the final version:
Fully variable-width menus
Expanded list files for enemies, spells, and items. Originally fixed at 8 characters max, I now have as much screen and ROM space as necessary.
Expanded names for NPC characters - originally 6 characters max, "Antoniana" now fits.
Expanded names for scenarios and locales - originally 8 characters max, I now have 256 pixels of space available for both.
Expanded names for jobs (originally fixed at three characters on the subscreen, should be able to fit up to seven 16x16 tiles.
Keep your ears open for an imminent release.
