Also, I hope you guys realize that it's spelled "homicide."
Very interesting!!
Two small questions before I start hunting for a copy:
1) How long is this game?
2) How much does a copy cost? Is it hard to find?
I wish I could contribute somehow, but my Japanese skills are still too "green" to attempt a translation and being a web developer doesn't give me the necessary skills to help with the hacking
Hacking in the preliminary stage? I look forward to playing this in 2017.
1) As I understand it, around the length of Snatcher. Gonna estimate 15-20 or so. Possibly less if you know what you're doing.
2) I'm pretty sure it's not cheap, and kind of. It's a cult classic, I hear.
Shadowrun CD is definitely not cheap - it was among the last Sega CD games ever released in Japan (I think it *was* the last, actually) and got a tiny print run.
I've read that running burned CD-Rs wears through the laser on turbo duos and sega cd systems. Does that ring true to you? Is there any reason that would be true?
There's no real reason to. It would be much more beneficial to try to do the PSX or GBA versions.You think anyone would ever attempt a fan translation of Mega-CD Shin Megami Tensei?
pretty cool! i always like seeing this things done - never played a Shadowrun game myself, so this might be my first.

Just discovered that this project is underway... any new progress since the screenshots shown earlier in the thread?
If it's better than the excellent SNES version, I am in.
It's a digital novel/graphic adventure with sprinkles of RPG, so it's not better.
Please tell me you are not going to use that font
There's always Shadowrun Megadrive (the superior Shadowrun game).
Looks good cj, missed this the first time around. What might be interesting is to try and sprinkle in the slang used in Shadowrun, to give it the feel of the universe. Looking really good though.
I am excited to see this project ! Looking forward to playing this on Android md.emu
Is there a website or blog to follow this project or is this forum the best ?
That's a good question. I haven't encountered any orcs or trolls yet, but we'll see.
Working on the second kanji table. The popularity for this is a little staggering, because it's drawn some translators from other projects to the cause, so maybe we'll get Scenario 1 going soon!
The sheer advent of the coming Shadowrun Returns game is liable to lift this up even further---as there's literally never been such a time in the fandom to jump on anything and everything again.
Plus, if all aligns well enough, I'd imagine it is only a matter of time until some of the modders try to wrangle some manner of enhanced remake of this "new" Sega-CD member of the family using the modding tools that are coming for SR.
