Thanks for the people that have pointed out to me that Neo Demiforce has moved (again)! I have changed the links, so they should all work now. Happy Holidays!

A Brief Introduction to Translations

There are many times in this world (more than one might like to think) that video game companies go around behind our backs. There are large quantities of games that don't make it to the United States from Japan, because those corporate bureaucrats think they won't make enough money off of it. Sometimes, you don't get the game at all (probably the most famous case, Final Fantasy 5). Sometimes the game is highly altered (another famous case, Final Fantasy 4 when it came as FF2 here in the US, was actually a chopped up version later released as FF4 EasyType in Japan). And in some cases, names are changed around (as in Mother and Earthbound; Earthbound for SNES was supposed to be Earthbound 2; Mother was supposed to be the first. They had it translated to english and everything, there are prototype carts to prove it!). It is because of these reasons that some gamers are fighting back. Gamers fluent in Japanese partner up with gamers good at hacking ROMs, and voila, you have a translations group.
Please e-mail me if you see a group that's not listed, a translation patch that is missing, a broken link, or if you need your own translation hosted here on the Emulation Zone!
Here's some links to the groups that translate NES® games, and links to the patches on their servers. Soon, I'll have local links to all the patches and ROMs (how soon depends on how much homework they give me at school), but for now, here you go :)
Note: Anytime you see (*) next to a version number, it means that (according to the translators, I don't have time to check all of the patches) the translation is a full translation patch.
