Figured bumping this thread is a good idea. This patch completely went under my radar until I happened to come across it on Youtube yesterday. I am so glad they patched it for the Saturn. My PS1 with mod-chip hates CD-Rs sooo damn much and had multiple crashes playing it. The Saturn with a mod-chip will play anything you put in it. Also, this is the best version of the game as well and will definitely be buying a virtua gun.

this is awesome. I had no idea this was even a thing. They didn't do one for Snatcher on Saturn, did they??

Still wish Soul Hackers wasn't abandoned :'(

i know its bootleg as fuck, but i have a pal that has been making some of these as an english playable game. it works great in my stock saturn and even comes with the ost on disc. he did a pretty decent job of it- printed disc art and all. I can find out if he's still doing them.

Didn't Soul Hackers get remade for 3DS. I know it's not the same as playing the Saturn original but it must be pretty close.

Wow, he will definitely be hearing from me soonish. I am all for actual disc pressings over CDRs, so I don't have to wear my laser lenses out.

No Snatcher translation for NEC Duo (in the works, but looks abandoned), PS1 and Saturn. Honestly, Sega CD is the best port anyway. I have played the Saturn JP port I have and it is OK, but just isn't as good.

The 3DS version is better, to be honest. Faster battles (this was a big thing for me), improved UI and menus, some other little things.

Did the original Devil Summoner ever get a fan translation? Wouldn't mind playing that.

Nice work! I'd love to try the Saturn patch. They did a straight up quality job with the PlayStation version.

On Snatcher, while I agree the Sega CD version satisfies this need rather well, I would still be 100% in for a translation of the PC-Engine or PS/SAT ports.
