  • Romancing SaGa: Fated Respinner Unveiled on Playstation 2

    Romhack of Romancing SaGa: Minstrel Song (PS2)

    For clymax’s projects, click here. You can also follow him on YouTube or Twitter.

    The Romancing SaGa: Minstrel Song: Fated respinner is unveiled on the PS2 courtesy of clymax.

    A respinner refers to an internal randomizer, as opposed to an external one, which we refer to as a repatcher.

    With a respinner, simply reset the game to play a new randomization. Some respinners even let you play a vanilla game with enhanced QoL.

    We maintain a list of all known respinners, which you can find here.

    See the Related Post (SFC version) to get a better general idea of the respinner design of the PS2 version.

    Some changes to the design were needed to account for the different mechanics of the PS2 version.

    A player event based on this respinner is under planning.

    More info to come. For now, a full showcase stream is available.

  • English Fan Translation of Ys III Remaster Released

    Wanderers from Ys (PS2)

    You can follow Kaisaan’s projects via Twitter, the web, Ko-Fi, or Discord.

    Xynosaur is a fan of retrogaming who is also a creator in demo/chip music. You can follow Xyno’s work via YouTube, Bandcamp, or Soundcloud.

    Announces the project lead and prolific Ys modder Kaisaan:

    Here is a mod showcase stream courtesy of Xynosaur.

    For those who don’t know, Taito partenered with Falcom to “remake” Ys III, Mask of the sun and V on the PS2 (only released in Japan of course)

    We got the Ys V translation in the beginning of 2026 and Ys III’s fan translation just got released a couple of days ago…

    I really hope this one is better than the remake they did for Ys V lol (you can watch the stream I did on Ys V if you wanna see the trainwreck that it is lol)

    An additional announcement was made by Kaisaan:

    Wanderers Boss Rush Contest

    This is a big one. To celebrate the release of Wanderers PS2 English, we are having a contest!

  • Manual Trance Mod Released

    For Final Fantasy IX on PSX

    You can find the RHDN publication here.

    Writes the hack author, YerekRavein:

    This is a pretty simple mod. It does two things:

    1. Trance no longer triggers automatically. You can enter it manually via pressing r2 while the character whose menu is open’s trance gauge is full.
    2. To facilitate this Maelstrom now just reduces HP to 1.

    The latter was done since the code has to go somewhere.
