Run=Dim News | 17.10.2021 - Return to after break

I apologize to everyone for the long lack of news about the RUN=DIM project. The reason was the renovation of the new house and the damage of the private laptop. I am already returning to work on the translation for a few days. The translation has not been abandoned, and we are slowly approaching the end - currently we fight with the MAIN.KSF file, which displays windows in the dispatch menu, causes the most problems. More news coming soon!

Run=Dim News | 25.05.2021 - Final turn?

We are slowly approaching the end of the translation of the RUN=DIM project. Esperknight fights against pointers and ram by extending the limit of texts in dialogues. Hope the final beta tests and bug fixes will start in end of June.

Run=Dim News | 4.03.2021 - A knight on the horizon!

Esperknight joined the our team once again. He is a specialist in romhacking and Atlas text implementation known e.g. from the Napple Tale, Shikigami no Shiro, Yarudora and Blue Submarine no.6 projects. Thanks to him, we hope the works moved forward strongly and manual changes will be automated. Thank you!

Run=Dim News | 11.02.2021 - The first test

Here is! The first test and beta video of the start of the Japanese to English translation of RUN = DIM as Black Soul running on a real SEGA Dreamcast console. The video is available on my YT channel at the link: https://youtu.be/BOSgRiijbnw

How is the work progressing? English font work ^^ I found and hacked all graphics containing Japanese text. The next step is to find all dialogues, descriptions etc. which RafaMGam will translate carefully and slowly. Finally, there are videos of the character's Bio and the biggest 1ST_READ.BIN file waiting for us.

Run=Dim News | 27.01.2021 - Project Website

The project page has been launched. There you will find updates on the progress of the translation and other important information. Videos will also appear on my YouTube channel.

Our previous projects such as Karous, L.O.L Lack of Love, The Lost Golem and finally Blue Submarine no.6 ~ Time & Tide ~ are still very popular among SEGA Dreamcast fans, so I hope that you will like this project and the game itself.

All our works is on: sega.c0.pl

Spread the news: twitter.com/SEGA_SKY/ or dreamcast-talk.com/forum/

The status huh? In the first phase, I focused on hacking non-standard PVR graphics and viewing the structure of all files on the GD-ROM, and exporting all Japanese texts available in the game.
