Cave Story (original version modders were able to patch Cave Story+ with Aeon Genesis' translation over NICALiS').The first and third Dragon Ball Z fighting games for the SNES.They have released 70 finished game translations as of this entry, and currently have 37 more in various stages of progress. Aeon Genesis, a group headed by ROM hacker Gideon Zhi with the help of various translators, is known for translating various Japanese-only video games and freeware titles.The series' wiki also does translations that are even rougher to learn what new information is being released in each novel. This applies for the songs as well, but currently Cloture Of Yellow, Wiegenlied Of Green, and The Lunacy Of Duke Venomania either have fan translations or are currently being given one. The Evillious Chronicles fandom is populated by many amateur translators, as there are no official English releases of any of its content.Digital Devil Story, the original source material for the Shin Megami Tensei video game series, was translated by a fan.The Light Novel translation site Baka-Tsuki collects various Fan Translation efforts for light novels.(As the original story is in the public domain, there are no legal issues.) A fan translation of The Nutcracker and the Mouse King can be found here.She is currently working on the last two spin-offs: Treading the Path of Fire (called Those Who Walk the Flame Road), and Traveler of the Wind (called Where the Wind Takes Us), with estimated completion by the end of 2023. She has finished translating the remaining main volumes and the first spin-off into English: Traveler of the Void, Guardian of the God, Traveler of the Indigo Road (as Traveler of the Blue Road), Guardian of Heaven and Earth, and Wanderers (as The Wanderer). Inspired by Tansou Tsukai, Ainikki began a project to translate the remaining volumes.
From August 2016 to December 2019, Tansou Tsukai translated Volume 3, Guardian of Dreams, into English as Guardian of the Dreams.She's currently working on Part 2 of Masaru Nakamura's novelization of the live-action film since January 2022, with estimated completion in late August 2022. Dororo: Ainikki translated Jinzō Toriumi's novel trilogy from February to December 2021.The Deer King has an English fan translation on Infinite Novel Translations.Please note that people aren't getting paid for this and are Doing It for the Art (though they may have professional translation work as their main occupation, as with Clyde "Tomato" Mandelin, the head translator of Mother 3, who does fan translations solely as a hobby in his spare time) Development Hell is common, and Vaporware might happen occasionally (an example of the latter being the aforementioned Clyde Mandelin's abandoned translation of Tomato Adventure, though he did release the source code for his work in case anyone else wants to give it a shot). See also Fansubs for the Anime version and Scanlations for the manga version. Plus, No Export for You already garners enough bad PR, exacerbating it among fans would definitely not be a good idea. The resulting translated ROMs themselves, of course, fall under the same rules as any other ROM dump if distributed (hence why ROM hacking sites generally only distribute patches, requiring players to find the original ROM elsewhere and use a patching program to actually use the patch). Since ROM patches contain no assets from the original game and no derived assets that are viable without it, no likely basis for arguing infringement is known. While no legal dispute over a fanmade patch has ever occurred, a handful of cease-and-desist orders have been issued regardless of any actual validity.
