DBZ1 NES: Attack of the Saiya-jins completely fan translated

Wow, I've been waiting for this for a while, and now it's come! A good, complete fan translation with a script that's both uncut and true to the original! This page shows screenshots of the intro and the battle system, and the translation patch for the original Japanese ROM is there too.

I just thought this would be a good thing to share with the folks at DaizEX, especially as not all of us can read Japanese, yet still want to play these oldies.

I've only taken a brief look around, but you can't actually download the ROM from this page, right? Just the patch? If so, I have absolutely no problem keeping the thread and link active.

That's right, VegettoEX. The ROM isn't available from this page. Most fan translators just distribute patches and leave it to the people who want to use it to find the ROM themselves.

Oh, one more thing. All the NES emulators out there except for fwNES don't support the custom save RAM Bandai used for their NES games. If you want to save your game, use save states.

Yeah, thank god for save states. I've had problems saving on any ROMs I've found, patched or japanese. It gave me a lot of trouble with Radical Dreamers, which was an awesome game. So I'm interested in grabbing this... although I'm not expecting much out of these translations. For example, I doubt the text actually translated to "worthless shit hole" or "get jiggy with it". Well, it's better than nothing.

Man, that game was hard. It's even harder than Dragon Ball on NES.
