I've found some Japanese roms translated to English (like the kickass Sailor Moon RPG for the SNES). There are many other great games out there that I'm sure are just as kickass but not yet translated. I've been rummaging through google but to no avail. Does any body know any pages where I could find translated roms or if anybody translates them? I'm searching in particular for the Ganbare Goemon series for the snes (also known as The Legend of the Mystical Ninja). Nintendo USA only distributed one in English for the snes - and it's a great game! I recommend it to anyone. There are others that were released but for super famicon only. I guess my question is a plea for help in obtaining these roms.

Thanks!

Go to romhacking.net and surf through the translations there. You can apply the patches to the rom.

Translated ROMs themselves are not nearly as easy to find as translation patches for predefined versions of the original-language ROMs since the translation groups rarely want to descend into the darker shades of grey that surrounds distribution of the games themselves (although I know of no case to establish the legality of fantranslations either, and highly doubt they would be). If you don't want to patch yourself at all, I believe some ROM sites like dgemu.com occasionally offer pre-patched fantranslated ROMs for download as well.

Lamentably, I couldn't find any translation patches for these games. Apparently, there seems to be many people just like me who wish to play this cult classic. I don't know why the higher-ups in Konami didn't release these games in English like the first SNES installment of the series. What I did find out (in case anybody else out there wants these games) is that there are some people trying to translate them but they come across problems with the way Konami places the kana and kanji characters in the text (or something of that nature). It seems a humongous pain the ass. I know this series isn't as sought after or famous, but it would be a great project for those groups of people who translate games. These games are great. One of my favorite all-time SNES games is the Legend of the Mystical Ninja (the first one for the SNES). I constantly play it on the SNEmulDS.
