MOTHER 3 TRANSLATION PATCH IS FINISHED AND OUT!!!!

    Just released today is the Mother 3 translation patch by the Mother 3 Translation Project team. (duh)

    In case you didn't know, Mother 2 was known as Earthbound in the US, and was a very very highly regarded and popular RPG for the SNES. Mother 3 was the sequel to that but was only released in Japan on the GBA, and was never translated over to the states.

    This team has been working on this translation for a very long time now and it is finally out and believe me, for those in the circle of Earthbound fans, this is huge news.

    Feel free to visit the website http://mother3.fobby.net/ and download a copy for basically any operating system you have. Of course, you have to have the original japanese ROM of the GBA game, which is not supplied by the website but is fortunately supplied somewhere very close to you.

    Have fun and enjoy!

    Its not an issue of people not reading anything, its an issue of no one posting in this section. No need for 2 of the same topic.

    I've been playing this for the past few hours and I've enjoyed it thus far. I'd say it was worth the wait.

    I apologize for the double post. Was just trying to spread the word as much as possible. And yes, definitely worth the wait.

    the rom should be able to be used even with the 3-1 plus and gbaexploder 5.8b

    the cyclo is in experimental 3-1+ support.

    is there a full translation for GBA mother 1+2?

    in 2008 there was a post
    https://www.romulation.org/forum/index.php/topic,6817.0.html
    but it hasn't been updated.


    may i be directed to information on translating games? google does a decent japanese to english translate. maybe i'll give it a swing. i could be way off with the little i know of how to do this type of work.

    we have it as a 1+2 download (j) on gba, i was asking about a translate for that.

    plus it seems that the romu page link for that is broken.

    @Almo: Dude that's like only a few minutes into the game, no big spoiler actually.

    @fallenleader: The translation for Mother 1+2 for GBA is still currently being worked on by the guys who did this Mother 3 translation, if the link previously given doesn't work anymore try this one from RHDN:

    http://www.romhacking.net/trans/1333/ <- Mother 3 complete
    http://www.romhacking.net/trans/868/ <- Mother 1 +2

    You could just play Mother 2 on the SNES which is actually Earthbound & Mother 1 which was for the NES & was given the title "Earthbound Zero" by the guys who translated it to english. They're both hosted by RomUlation :D

    yeah, but its a pain to change files on my xbox (original) due to cat5 cable distance. the data needs to be FTP'd because its modded.

    and putting an emulator on my ds seems a bit of a hassle.

    its ok, i will find the old versions if i like the games, havent tried them yet.
    will patch and move to the xbox.

    Hey just because the SNES & the GBA are old relics it doesn't mean they're garbage now :p

    I'm sick of people like you who call themslves gamers but only rely on the new stuff, boy have you missed alot of great classics... tsk tsk.

    And as for why not on the DS?

    Go ask Nintendo about that, not here, ROFL

    As for emulators you might need:

    SNES emulator:
