Earthbound/Mother fans rejoice, the fan made English translation of the Japan only game Mother is finished, and will be available at the end of this week.

The patch will be out at the end of this week.

Testing’s pretty much over now. Some bugs did turn up over the last few days, but they were all minor and quickly remedied. Some really hard-to-spot typos were also found and fixed.

The program patchers are now nearly finished. There’ll be one for Macs, Windows, and Linux. We designed them to be extremely easy to use, since people had lots of trouble with the old menu patch. The Linux version was compiled under Ubuntu, I don’t know if it’ll work with other flavors or not, but if it doesn’t, you can probably compile byuu’s tsukuyomi UPS patcher to do things manually.

    HELL YEAH! That's what I'm talking about. If Nintendo won't release Mother 3 out in America (even though we want it like hella bad), we'll illegally download the GBA ROM and Emulator, *bleep*ing them over twice as bad in the process! Everyone (except Nintendo) wins!

      NO ROMS!


      But in all honestly - seeing things like this make me proud to be a gamer. We take matters into our own hands, and we take the initiative to get what we want.

        Must be the only one who wouldn't do this. I'll wait for the version to be ported, if not oh well.
