A Valuable Lesson

Site’s back after 24-hour downtime caused by a freaking server crash. Whoops. Fortunately, I had a backup dating back to February, but everything I posted between then and now is gone. I do have the missing posts saved thanks to SLAiNTRAX, though it’ll take some time to get them all restored.
So. Let this be a lesson to me: more backups = fewer headaches.
Retro Game Challenge 2 finally coming Stateside?

I don’t use this blog much for actual blogging, but this caught my eye.
If you’ve been following my blog, you might remember my review of Retro Game Challenge back in 2009. Here’s hoping this teaser is promising exactly what it looks like it’s promising: a long-overdue U.S. release of Retro Game Challenge 2.
Thanks to Haz of HG101 for bringing this to my attention. (Original Post)
I shoulda done this like a million years ago!

Introducing the BoF2 ROM Check application!
Cobbled together in a few hours and rigorously tested, this app will check your Breath of Fire 2 ROM to make sure it’s compatible with the retranslation patch. Better still, if you have a U.S. version ROM with a header, the BoF2 ROM Check application will offer to remove it for you. Once your ROM has been vetted by this app, all you have to do is patch it!
Uses Alforata’s Super Nintendo ROM Icons, artfully edited with the Breath of Fire 2 title screen logo.

So it’s been five months. Long enough that 1. the game’s name has picked up an extra syllable in the middle, 2. the game is actually out now, and 3. most of you have probably given up any hope of an update.
Liar Game’s still on hiatus, so nothing new in that department. And I’m still puzzling over how to overcome some difficulties I’ve encountered with the Breath of Fire 1 retranslation. In the meantime, this has been long overdue.
Read it in the original Japanese here.
Enjoy!
