10/31/2023: Localization News - Dead of the Brain 1!

No, NOT a trick, a Halloween treat! Presenting the Dead of the Brain 1 English patch by David Shadoff for the DEAD last official PC Engine CD game published by NEC before exiting the console biz in 1999! I helped edit/betatest and it's also a game I actually finished in 2023, yaaay! Shubibiman also did a French localization. github.com/dshadoff/DeadoftheBrain

Here, everyone!

It's the games that were on that protocard from awhile back.

Slightly different, so no one who got the real thing feels jipped.




PS: They're open source, so you can noodle around and see what we do.

Including all my tunes.

I doubt that anyone with a protocard is gonna feel jipped by releasing these. I'm thrilled to see everyone else getting a chance to mess around with what only a select few have had access to for a while now. Plus open source code is a big bonus for anyone wanting to design PCE games.

Maybe, Maybe not. But we didn't want to ruin their status as a collector item for the people who helped finance our future ventures (And thank you guys again). After all, it took some serious support to pay for those 3 games on a card. (They could use a -lot- of work :)


With that said, everyone who has been thinking about writing a game now has actual working examples to start with.
You can look at the code, and see how to use squirrel, mix in assembler, handle sprites....heck, there is even a routine to draw to tiles in vram. There is a lot of useful information there.

Now if the guy who wrote that island adventure can use some of those tricks......

We made 10 cards and used the funds to buy new stuff to further the prototype.

Hi Arkhan

Thank you for releasing this.

I don't think that I will ever have time to get back into programming but I am sure that I will find it interesting taking a look at how things are done :-)

You should see Atlantean.

The comments are pretty rude, to myself.

Ark, any idea when the next version of your card is gonna come out?  I meant to buy one of the protos, but as usual I procrastinated myself out of it.
The Turbo was Dual Core when Dual Core wasn't cool . . .

You might have happened to be trying to get stuff while I was upgrading the domain hosty/shit and the site went down for like 5 minutes.
