Rent a Hero No. 1, English translation?
Posted: Thu Dec 01, 2011 8:38 pm
Rent-A-Hero No. 1, a remake of the original Mega Drive game, was released for the Dreamcast in 2000. ...
The game was enhanced and given online capabilities by Coolnet Entertainment and AIA Games for the Xbox in 2003, and also translated into English for a North American release in what would have been the first Rent-A-Hero overseas release. However, the English version of the game was never released due to distribution problems, and the Xbox version remained only in Japan as it had previously happened with the original Dreamcast version.
In 2008, the unreleased English-translated version of the game got leaked and appeared on torrent sites in an apparently complete state, with only minor text errors present. This version was very close to completion and was in fact reviewed by GamePro in February 2003.
I'm unfamiliar with the file structure and how the text/voices are stored (I'm also unfamiliar with the game and the gameplay having only ever seen screenshots of it) Anyone have any idea if someone could combine the leaked English language xbox translation data with the dreamcast version a la Shenmue 2?
