Enemy Encounter Rate Explosion

R-7038 attacking in a random battle… that’d sure make MOTHER a lot harder

In that video…did I just see 4th-D Slip with a weird different name? Pity… I liked the sound of 4th-D Slip better.

Yeah, I went with the name used in the Japanese version.

Bizarre battles lol

Lloyd/Loid sure does die a lot.

Wow. Playing though the game like that would’ve been a nightmare for all of us, and the enounters in MOTHER 1+2 were bad enough already.

NINTEN attacks! ♪♪ took 1 damage! ♪♪R-7038 attacks! ♪ IN 551 damage! ♪♪
So…music notes are enemies now o.O

Ah, so the D in 4th D Slip stands for demension. So the complete name would be Fourth Demention Slip. OK, that makes sence, I’ve always wondered what 4th D Slip meant. Dementional Warp sounds cool too though, not to mention it makes it more clear what it does. Anyway, keep up the good work!

This is why you shouldn’t stay in Magicant too long. The world freaks out.

What makes this even more annoying for me is that encountering enemies every stepreally does happen in the real game sometimes. Every time I’m doing Yucca Desert, I swear, it’s like that.

Incidentally, Mato, have you posted here that the Mother 1 remake isn’t dead? Maybe you did and I missed it, I don’t know, or maybe I was the only ignorant one.

^ “step really.” I can’t type today.

Ice Sage: I notified Mato that the Mother 1 Remake wasn’t dead and gave him to the link to the new web site. He quickly changed the link in the random link sidebar section and link page, but forgot to mention it in the Community News the following week.

On the subject of Fourth D Slip, I always pictured it as something like Mario’s dimension-flipping ability in Super Paper Mario. Though in that case it’s more like he’s slipping into the third dimension….I figured the same thing happened in Mother, just involving a more…..incomprehensible dimension.

Supposedly the fourth dimension is time, so maybe Ninten and co. jump back in time to before the random attack took place and somehow avoid the ambush! Yay for short term time travel!

Though you got smashed around by ol’ bot boy the music notes made it seem so much nicer.

That actually looked pretty funny

Wow, it sure is harder. One step and boom, you’re ambushed.

Coolest video ever.

How many steps did you take before you realized it was a battle every step?

3.

My guess is 3.

Holy crap, it’s MISSINGNO.!

“It’s hard finding time and motivation for this thing lately…”

We need some kind of cheer-squad to keep ‘Mato working.

Gimme an M!

Any way of getting at least an ETA on the translation patch?

Also, it would be awesome in Mother 2 was translated as well as then it would be complete!

Thanks!

Is it possible to keep the musical notes? They’re kinda cool and fit the musical theme of the game.

I finally found your Easy Ring patch for the Earthbound Zero ROM, and I must say that I don’t mind the encounter rate. Is it possible to make the reduced encounter rate an optional bonus?

Either way, I can’t wait for this to be done. Keep on truckin’, Mato.

3TRAINERPOKè draw near!

I’d certainly like to see some sort of MOTHER 2 translation come along with the MOTHER 1 translation, even if it’s just the menus. One idea I’d like to contribute: perhaps you could do the same thing with the text boxes for MOTHER 2. I’m no programmer, so I don’t know if that would be easier than making the narrow text the way it is in the official translation – hopefully it IS easier, though.

lol
the mad car dog
lololololololol

Yeah, this is an awesome side project! Good luck Tomato!

I was wondering, it would be totally awesome if you could have all of the text and sprites be the original uncut version, like on the NES/Famicom version! Japan got both uncut, and cut versions. The English version of Earthbound Zero had always been the cut version of the game, where there was no blood, or they changed text in certain places occurred.

This would be really neat, because it would finally give us a chance to enjoy Earthbound/MOTHER at its core! (Possibly the same treatment of MOTHER2? I mean, enemy sprites and text where edited as well. Just a suggestions from a loyal MOTHER/Earthbound fan. This would totally kick-a!)

I wish you luck Tomato, God-speed!

Hey Mato this is awesome. I played your MOTHER 3 patch and it was great. I’ve played Earthbound before but never earthbound 0. I look foward to seeing this done. Nice job Mato! And also, Gimme an A! =]

This is great is it nearly finished?

Mato you’re incredible. I want your babies.

Well, this shows us that this is looking great! Keep up the good work! =D

That video also showed me that this is complicated. I’m glad I don’t take up projects like this…otherwise I’d be going nuts…=O

I love how each line is sung. ♪♪
Imagine if someone in the game actually talked like that. ♪♪

the vid was crazy. I think you were fighting MissingNo. O_O

THE VIDEO WAS FUNNY!! seriously, i gotta congraddulate the people who worked hard on the mother 3 translation. i hope mother 1+2 translation might be good as well. and thanks for making a kick butt website for mother 3 fan translation, i hope you can do the same with mother 1+2 fan translation. one last thing, i know that you guys did the translation, but what’s the name of the thing you did to create such a wonnderful translation?

Since mother 1 is my favorite of the series il test it if you want i can beat the game in 2 days even

Quick question about translating the mother 2 portion of the game.
Would it be possible to write a program that would replace the japanese text with english text from the snes game?

It’s not impossible, but it’s not as easy as that. Or else someone would’ve done it already EarthBound/MOTHER 2′s text system is hell, and any hacking work with it is hell x 500.

Well hopefully someone translates the mother 2 portion of the game someday.. I’m dying to play it on my ds… in english…

The video has been removed…

‘this video has been removed due to terms of use violation’?

Dang, the video has been removed, can you reupload it?

He can’t re-upload it because his YouTube account was terminated (for whatever reason). Although I wish he could somehow re-upload it… if he emails it to me, I’ll upload it to my account. Anyway, about the translation, I’ve started editing pictures to translate stuff in Mother 2 (although I can’t hack it into the game itself since I don’t know how, but I wish I could). Does anybody know how to hack the Mother 2 part of M1+2? I’d like to know so I could work on it, perhaps.
