Lost Kefin Update: I fixed the Magic Stones menu!
I *think* the game is currently playable fully in English in some form. I'll need to do some testing on my end just to be sure.
It's incredible to finally see this game in English!

Lost Kefin Update: Before & After
This was just an issue on my end with how I repointed the text.
Once I get through all the equip screens I think that's all the major errors fixed?
I also need to fix the centering of the info text at the bottom but that isnt a big issue.
Thanks for the support!

Lost Kefin update: I fixed a bug with the text in the options not printing since it expects Shift-JIS and not ASCII values. 🔥
This took 3 late nights looking at the code to figure this out. 🔥🔥
But it was actually a very simple solution I just overthought everything. 🔥🔥🔥

Out of all the Ys games on PS2, why is Lost Kefin so expensive...
Lowest I could find on Ebay is about 300 dollars CAD.
And for some reason someone is selling a copy of it for almost 50 million dollars!
Here's proof: www.ebay.com/itm/31587254...
Please let me know where I can find good deals!

Lost Kefin update: Graphics extraction and re-insertion has been fully automated now! The edited graphics is now built automatically. All I have left to do is fix crashes and then the game will be ready for betatesting! Thank you everyone for your support!

As I am getting closer to finishing all the technical work for Lost Kefin's translation, I have realized that this game is *very* jank even from a hacking standpoint.
I know the game itself is also very jank but that is okay too.
Nothing will make me stop loving you, Lost Kefin!

Another thing I was able to help with was the Network Test for Ys vs Trails' remaster! I was able to play some matches with friends and the game ran well! Big congratulations to @refint.games for the successful launch! This game's remaster and localization is a true work of passionate fans!

And an especially big thanks to @sugunii.bsky.social for testing the translation and also introducing the game to me! I wanted to get this game translated for Sugunii 🙏

I also helped with the release of another translation! This obscure Japanese indie game called Ersr Kerf. I really love the game's presentation and especially it's music! I didn't do too much work myself. Big thanks goes to Etokapa for doing all the translation and also NightWolve for some hacking!

I also still sometimes tinker with other games to take breaks from all the other projects (which ends up making more projects for me LOL) I managed to get the text extracted and reinserted for "Gachitora! Abarenbou Kyoushi in High School" as requested by Etokapa, who's been a great help for me!

Lost Kefin is programmed very, strange. Once you open a chest it remains empty, but you literally can't interact with them again. Yet there's lines in the game for every empty chest line. Thankfully Everdred was able to restore this!

I managed to also get the game to load larger images! This makes translations more clear and not limited by the original sizes.

Hi everyone! I apologize for the lack of updates. There is a *lot* to go over, and not just for Lost Kefin stuff! So let's start!
Lost Kefin is progressing well! I got graphics reinsertion going very smoothly! This is in big thanks to Etokapa's work with editing the images.

After a very long time, I finally finished Final Fantasy 4: The After Years!
It's difficult for me to say anything positive about this game LOL
But I like the Band that's literally just called Final Fantasy I hope more FF games are more On The Nose.
Not sure when I'll play FF5 to be honest.

Dogi Cosplay Update: I found a blue wig! I just need to style it properly.
I also got blue sweatbands and a belt. So basically I look more like Classic Dogi.
I'll post a photo of everything later.
Any other suggestions on improving my low-budget Dogi cosplay is very much welcome!

Even Elena has some unused artwork.
There's so much leftover content from Ys 3 (including unused stuff) in Ys 5 for the PS2. Adol's sprites from 3 is also in the files for 5.

Here's some clearly unused and unfinished graphics from the files of Lost Kefin. Interesting to see graphics from Ys 4 and 3 be here.
Also we have Aron and Colin again.

Seems that the Dogi Discussion went well. I now ask you all the ultimate question.
What Adol is your favourite?
TBH they all seem to be the same design lol. I guess this will be about what Adol expression is the best one.
