Star Cruiser Translation

The premise
 
- "Why do you translate this game? It only got 6 votes! Lungrisser 2 got 91 votes!"
 
That will probably be your first reaction. So let me explain it: I regard this game as a little "warm-up" in Genesis translations. To get experience in ROM hacking, to get experience in finding and replacing text, and to find eventual problems which can occur while translating a game. If this game succeeds (and Star Cruiser is a good game in my opinion), there will be a lot more chances that translations of so popular games like Lungrisser 2, Vixen 357 and others get on their way.
 
The status
 
Wing and Eidolon are working on this translation. Well - actually we were working on this translation. Sadly, the text encoding routines used in this game are so weird and designed especially for the Japanese language that an English translation is virtually impossible.
 
Thus, this translation has been cancelled for the time being.

You have comments about this translation? Then mail Eidolon or Wing!

So much for the commercials. ;)

Name entry. If an experienced translator could give me some advice how to do it better, I´d greatly appreciate it.
