Fan translation for obscure N64 RPG Zool - Majyū Charmer Legend, by Zoinkity, whowasphone404, & Gabbu Hetchy. No, it's no Pokémon clone: no evolution, no catch 'em all. The 1999 monster-tamer splits cursor-navigated towns and battles, with found family. 59k words translated, requiring custom debug tools. Preservation win. https://pocg.net/news/fan-translation-zool-n64-english-2026/ #RetroGaming #N64 #FanTranslation #GamePreservation

Today I am making public the tool I did to export and import all the images of the game
https://code.pleonex.dev/pleonex/MigaManStarTres

It was a very cool but intense project. It took three full months to implement all the different and complex image formats. Every week the game was giving us a new surprise...

MerryBytes the talking popcorn box made more Telefang content!~ He makes super fun game reviews and retrospectives but is sadly cursed by the algorithms... The only reason I noticed the new video is because I have his page bookmarked and I check it form time to time. ​:AltairPanic:​
