So, the idea is that we work on Re;Birth 2 translation in preparation of the shit fest that will be Re;Birth 3 when it get's released on PC.
Since there isn't a lot of stuff that are outright bad in Re;Birth 2, retranslating it should be relatively easy compared to if we ever are going to attempt to retranslate Re;Birth 3.
Mostly it's just Neptunes dialog that's need to be fixed in Re;Birth 2 and to a lesser extent RAMs.

Honestly I loved 4GO in all its glitchy glory. I never tried the Canuck RPG but I heard it wasn't bad.

I love Uni. Another day, another repair to keep myself busy.
This time I'm working on a PSPgo board that came in for being "bricked". Spent two full days to diagnose it, had to make crude modifications to existing service tools just to enable hardware initialization logging and it told me that the display controller is either dead or not receiving power. The latter is fixable and I'll look into it tomorrow. If it's the former then the chip is dead and done which would make this board paperweight. There's no replacement.

Fundamental CS.

The only mistake you should be ashamed of is the one that you can't fix. Bodge wires for ripped pads are par for the course, especially when working with old, corroded or low quality boards. You can always try lowering your iron temp, though...

Gentlemen, the moment you've all been waiting for here will soon be here. All of you have been waiting for this moment. ...All of you that are still here, at least. It's been over 10 years. The teaser shows several new goddesses, whose designs seem to indicate they are the reps for new-gen consoles. Surprising considering VII made the eighth gen new forms for the main four in the form of the NEXT forms.
For those of you that turned your back on Neptunia over the spinoff hell, what would Compile Heart have to do here to win you back? Just make another solid turn-based JRPG? Outfits/character customization options (so you can doll up your waifu)? A plot tackling issues plaguing the game industry in the modern day like GaaS, censorship, etc.? Fanservice? Or do you believe Compile Heart are beyond redemption at this point?
Honestly, the situation in the industry has become so dire, not just for Compile Heart, but for

There are places for you, but this board, and this game's fandom, playing these games, are not the place for this mentality. Neither can you defend this line of spiteful logic without invoking some absurd pathos like 'if it hurts the coomers I win'. 

Literally every beach in America has women who are functionally and sometimes actually nude. It isn't abnormal to want games with these depictions.

Thanks to the collective efforts of Nintendo and Steam, we had to wait an extra year and a half for a real version of this game, but I just got mine a few days ago and am rather enjoying it.
It's fairly different from the previous Compile Heart Vita DRPGs on the Vita. More complex and mechanically involved. Just from exploring the first dungeon, there's more gimmicks and travel options, more resources to manage, and overall the maps so far seem more complicated than the likes of Mary Skelter and Moero Chronicle/Crystal where they were all pretty basic. You can crush walls to find shortcuts and hidden treasure, dig through holes, float over gaps, etc. Combat/party comp-wise, in addition to your typical classes (Digiskins), you've now got SMT-style demon fusing (Gadgetta), weapons having their own attack and support skills attached depending on both the weapon and its rarity value, elements that are not only factored in when attacking enemy weaknesses but also with the users' own elemental compatibilities, armor having skills too, etc. Combat tries to be different from Mary Skelter and Moero as well; you now have an Action point system (EP) where you can take as many actions as EP allows, while magic (Digimagic) is its own separate category independent from AP with fixed use limits per dungeon crawl. In many ways, this feels like the "final form" of Compile Heart dungeon crawlers on the Vita. A very pleasant and welcome surprise. Even its version of the trademark Compile Heart

There's also a "Diet Assembly" system that works like Disgaea's Dark Assembly minus the "beating up senators who vote against you" part. You occasionally get special items in the dungeons that you can use to bribe the opposition parties into voting for policies. "Policy" choices include new Digiskins, items, money, events, etc. Strangely enough, the game's difficulty options are also locked behind this system, unlike most other Compile Heart RPGs where they're chosen before the game begins. I don't know why they decided to do it like this for Tokyo Clanpool, it discourages trying any difficulty but Normal.
The story absolutely points out how bullshit it is that there is even this retarded parliamentary bureaucracy to deal with during a literal potential end-of-the-world scenario where an entirely different realm is invading Japan, and it makes no bones about how corrupt and inefficient the whole system is, but like usual, it's just waved away with a typical "well, what can you do about it, it's Democracy™". Almost every game I've played that seriously deals with democracy as a political system acknowledges how corrupt, inefficient and bureaucratic it is, but they all act like there's no alternative and we just have to deal with it. I can only chalk this up to the predominance of the American-led liberal world order and most people not being able to experience any real alternatives, plus "end of history"-type Whig thinking where progressive democracy is treated as the be-all-

Boy, Sacred Union is quite a buff. A few turns of slowly chipping away at this group of minibosses' health, and then suddenly Natsume just deleted them all at once with big dick damage, she's not even my primary damage dealer.
Also, it makes total sense that a character like Iroha is the one in charge of the game's designated fanservice minigame.
Just wanted to post about how I also ordered a copy of the game from Play-Asia (And a few other games), and is "suppose" to arrive by the second week of May.

Wonderful, you can join all two (three if that one guy who also ordered it at the same time I did also posts here) of us discussing the game here. You know, for all that /nepgen/ likes to bitch about how otaku games are dying and Compile Heart are cucking out, not a single person there is playing or even talking about Tokyo Clanpool, a recently released game BY COMPILE HEART that should right up their alley, and which both CH and Eastasiasoft had to put in a lot of work to release that shouldn't have been necessary if this industry weren't so gay. That's something you should be rewarding monetarily; releasing this game as a physical PC game (storefront agnostic) was a seriously ballsy and unprecedented move. Not to mention the complete lack of support for any other viable otaku/ecchi games that released recently like LoveR Kiss Endless Memories or TurretGirls. I'm starting to think they have a real problem with (not) putting their money where their mouth is, or they just don't care about non-Neptunia Compile Heart IPs. If you want Compile Heart to make real otaku games again, you have to be willing to support the uncensored games that do come out. Obviously Compile Heart and Eastasiasoft are not going to want to fight the censors if there's nothing in it for them.

Since Idea Factory/Compile Heart games always had a strong presence on the Vita back in the day, figured I'd make a thread for it. I'm in the process of updating the 8chan Vita chart, and if you have any recommendations you can write for the games not currently on it, I'd appreciate it.
If you feel that games like Hyperdevotion Noire, Producing Perfection, Action U Unleashed, Blanc v. Zombies, Superdimension Neptune vs Sega Hard Girls,  or any other Idea Factory/Compile Heart game on the Vita (or Vita game in general) are worth recommending, say something about it and I'll put it in.

my second ps vita came in! thankfully, it's in decent condition. it's definitely preferable to my old one, that one looks like someone chewed on it...
it's the model 2000 this time, i already don't really care about oled vs lcd, and it doesn't help that the screen on the 1000 model was starting to burn out and yellow in places (though as an aside, playing games on the vita did make me appreciate oled a bit more; it easily has the best looking version of jet set radio, and it wouldn't surprise me if games like mary skelter were made with the screen in mind, i noticed it likes to contrast neons with blacks a lot).
speaking of, i got it in black + pink, because it reminded me of mary skelter, though i remember i was going back and forth on looking for one in white or white + blue, my vita case is miku-themed, so it would've fit better...
transferring the memory card over was also easier than i would've thought, though i think i have to reinstall homebrew on the 2000, none of the stuff i homebrew'd onto the memory card works. i'm hoping that's not too strenuous of a process.
i'm planning on just selling off the model 1000 (though i feel kind of bad, essentially selling off thoroughly used goods for someone else to deal with), but i need the money. i'm hoping i can get project diva and katamari after.
i'm also thinking about giving re;birth 1 and 2 another shot. i originally got into playstation partially for neptunia, but ended up feeling lukewarm towards re;birth 1, and the

<The story-select menu likely defaults to Hacker's Memory because this compilation actually was aimed towards people who played Cyber Sleuth first, at least initially (and the subsequent Switch and PC ports did nothing to change this). This game's history is a bit of a mess, but to break it down.....
<Cyber Sleuth releases on the Vita in Japan.
<Sony prematurely brushes the Vita off as a dead system in the west, causing Cyber Sleuth to be ported to the PS4 when it got localized (there was still a Vita localization, but it was digital-only). For a time, this PS4 port would be exclusive outside of Japan.
<Hacker's Memory is released in Japan for the PS4 and Vita, with Cyber Sleuth included as a compilation. With this, Japan gets the PS4 version of Cyber Sleuth for the first time, and players of the original Vita Cyber Sleuth could use cloud saving to transfer their old data (and the whole compilation comes off being geared towards those veteran players as a result).

Shame this board died, and shame Nep as a franchise died. Meganep was perfect, and they decided to sit on it with so many spinoffs. I really enjoyed Sisters Vs Sisters for the geimuplay, but the story was lackluster, and disappointing.

posted this in the other thread, but wanted to talk more about it here.
one of the reasons i was procrastinating so hard on neptunia was just that i only had 1 and 2 digitally, and only having games digitally never sits right with me.
for some reason, i was under the impression these games were difficult to get physically; i don't know where i got that idea from, if anything, everything i have here was far cheaper than i was expecting...
in addition to the main games, i also got action u (i feel like the vita's kind of perfect for simple hack-and-slash games, and i remember being told that this one's basically "senran but with neps") and sega hard girls (this one feels like mandatory viewing as a maybe former huge sega fan). i really do not care about the other spinoffs, though.

Compile Heart and IFI are trying Eastasiasoft for Asia-English versions of the canceled Neptunia Re;Birth Switch ports. Personally, I've already bought them on PC (GOG) and now see no reason to double-dip here and support Nintendo's persecution of Japanese expression. The LE goods aren't enticing, either. Even if this allows the ports to succeed, it's only a short-term victory because Compile Heart are still being incentivized against making content that would force them to do workarounds to sell like this, and that's as long as the workaround even works; Nintendo could easily just update their Asia guidelines and start shooting these down, too. They've shown they're capable of it, going out of their way to persecute Japanese cultural expressions for no reason other than that they can, acting as a tool of BlackRock and globohomo writ large to undermine and destroy alternatives to the "modern audience" goyslop future they have in mind. Denying these games for "brand risk" reasons yet platforming shit like Cyberpunk 2077 and Assassin's Creed Shadows which is the single most controversial game in Japan in recent memory for violating several

I gotta wonder how these games are releasing like this, did Nintendo refuse digital but not physical? I'd assume that any game card would need to be authorized by Nintendo, so I gotta wonder where the double standard comes from.

Nintendo Of America vs Nintendo Of Asia (English)/Japan (Source of the Asian version). That's it, it's that simple.

https://www.gematsu.com/2025/11/eastasiasoft-launches-online-store-alongside-american-subsidiary

Eastasiasoft just announced they're opening their own online storefront as well as an American publishing branch. They may start selling these games through their American branch to make them easier to purchase since they don't have to go through PlayAsia. Additionally, they're teasing the idea of selling physical PC games, which may be how they intend to distribute an uncensored version of Tokyo Clanpool since that game got screwed over by both Steam and GOG. At the least, they'll probably host the uncensor patch they've been holding onto through this storefront.

Nintendo is pushing significantly different publishing standards for Japanese/Asian SKUs and global SKUs. The Neptunia Re;Birth games were cleared for a Japanese/Asian release but not for a release in the west. This game, Brave X Junction (second pic related), was also similarly release in the Japanese eshop but denied a western release with the reasoning laid out by the publisher as a semi-joke comic. This game released globally without issues on both Steam and Playstation (it's rated 7+ in Europe); only Nintendo is this restrictive with this reasoning. They've gone as far as to

Now they're releasing Hyperdevotion Noire. Worth noting that this one wasn't "officially" and directly blocked from a western release like the Re;Births were. Idea Factory International likely just saw how the Re;Births and Neptunia Riders fared and decided it wasn't worth trying. Which brings the question of just how many games there are like this, that weren't ACTUALLY blocked, but the publisher saw how hopeless the situation was and decided not to bother. Like the recent Chaos;Head Love Chu Chu Double Pack released last month which has yet to show any sign of being picked up for a western release despite the main Chaos;Head games being on Switch.

Turns out the speculation about them starting their own store to sell PC physicals was true. Tokyo Clanpool is now being distributed through a special edition USB stick, completely uncensored, in a collector's box limited to 1000 copies.
Lo behold, the extent one must go to release a Vita game in 2020+6.

If you already bought the GOG version, they now offer an uncensor patch for that on their site as well.

https://www.eastasiasoft.com/tc/TokyoClanpool_PC_Patch.zip

I must say, though this took long enough to come to fruition, I respect Joshua French and Eastasiasoft's dedication here. It would've been easy to just leave this at the GOG patch, but they went the extra mile. And maybe, just maybe, this may be the way forward since every digital storefront is so up their own fucking asses now.

So the old BO went to Gamindustri or something, I dropped an e-mail when it happened and I got a reply.

So this I guess is sort of a meta thread. Basically drop a line here for thoughts or suggestions, new graphics, etc.. Also question answering.

I'll get the boilerplate one out of the way first: I've been here a little while and have already put some time in here. Other two pics very much related.

And now it's even 12MB.
There's been a possible node failure with the site, posting here via mod console to see if that rezzes the board.

EDIT
And it did. Of course until /sudo/ adjusts the situation positively site-wide, I'll have to make posts in any thread that needs to be accessed probably via the console. So just list what threads you want to use here if this keeps up.

Also Ram and Rom to me is more "Look at these adorable little sisters, don't you want them to squeeze you while you pat their heads?". Which is what I felt the goal was all along: They're the ones that you adopt if you're all the way into Blanc. That's why it's way different if you compare Nep and Nepgear.

>I am a last generation weeb, so I basically got onto the scene right before mainstream culture raped everything in the 2010s.
between you, me, and the blancfag, i think this describes a lot of us
>Look, it's not like I don't find myself attracted to any loli characters (...) I however, do not find myself attracted to loli characters like Rin Kokonoe, or Ram in her normal form. I've always had a hard time understanding physical attraction to these characters and rather come to the conclusion that most "antis" as twitterfags would say
to me, it just seems like you're only attracted to some or certain lolis, probably more attracted to their personalities or because of a personal attachment you have with them, which is understandable; that is the partially the point of having characters in a story, they're meant to get you to care about the story. feeling romantically or even sexually attracted to one, at least to me, means that the character is just really well-made, either from a writing standpoint or a design standpoint, or both.
there're even different subcategories of loli, if you want to try and pinpoint a spot where the physical attraction just stops for you. ram and rom would probaby fall somewhere around heidi complex i think
it's worth noting that "lolicon"--having a lolita complex in general--isn't exclusively a sexual thing, it's more than fair if someone finds a loli cute purely in a daughter or a little sister kind of way, i'd still say that's lolicon. i guess it bothers me when people single out sexual or romantic desire specifically as being lesser or problematic somehow.
to explain the general physical attraction, at least with me, i just generally find "cute" more appealing or arousing than "sexy". i just like smaller body types, and all the things that would entail, like flat chests, small/flat butt, generally...i guess "cuter" proportions, i don't know how to explain it in a very satisfying way. i just find "cute" appeal more attractive.
i like the idea of being physically intimate with a girl that's shorter than me, like cuddling her while nuzzling my chin on top of her head, or teasing her a little for being small, but ultimately reassuring her that that's what i like about her and making her feel more confident in herself, or picking her up and carrying her around...
i also like the physical comedy it entails in a lot of series. as much as i get onto other people for finding the same three memes funny, the joke that's in every series with a legal loli where they get confused for being a kid and the comedy that comes from that always makes me happy, i just find it all really cute.
there was a period in my preteens where i thought i was entirely asexual, since i was vehemently unattracted to most women/girls around me, and the thought of sex or starting a family actually really grossed me out, but this also coincided with me beginning to watch a lot more anime and playing more games, and after watching enough stuff and incidentally finding out about hentai, i eventually came to the conclusion that it was simply just the fact that i wasn't attracted to women/girls who tried too hard to be "mature" or "sexy", and that i favored "cute" far more. a lot of anime and games helped me figure myself out and what i wanted more, as odd as that may sound. now that i'm older and still like this, i'm wondering if it's just my desires for a "girlfriend" figure and a "daughter" figure manifesting as this, apparently it's common for people who over-emphasize romance and obsess over finding a partner to imagine their partner fulfilling every social role, which causes problems, but psycho-analysis is gay and dumb so ignore literally all of this
i don't know how common this is with other lolicons, i imagine if you ask around you'll get a whole slew of different answers because everyone's different (i've met people who're into loli characters but were specifically only attracted to curvier women irl and found smaller women unattractive, i've also run into people online who...to avoid being explicit, their desires were unfortunately not limited to fiction, and i think everyone here has seen at least one story of someone who was vehemently anti-loli or anti-anime in general, but ended up being a closet predator).
i don't know if this was a very satisfying answer, i think it's just simple for most people, a fetish is just a fetish.
also, i too am specifically unattracted to characters like rin kokonoe, but that's just specifically because i find being bratty to the point of being outright cunty to be not very cute. a kid trying way too hard to act like an adult somewhat flies in the face of what i find "cute", i'm reminded that's why i've historically not been attracted to a lot of girls when i was younger

>i don't understood why people phrase this as if it's impossible to feel this way while also being romantically or sexually attracted to the archetype, i feel like you could theoretically find a girl cute in a little sister way and still be attracted to them
Oh I didn't mean it that way. That is a classic otaku trope as well, the little sister type who may be a little more but needs to rely on you either way. (Also my IP changed again thanks lightning storm)

We're going to need a new thread. Posting limit here is 700 posts before a thread locks.
Someone on the other /nepgen/ removed the paragraph about this place from the newest OP. That wouldn't have been one of you, would it? 

Also, I can confirm that the graphical glitches in Fairy Fencer F's PC version are NOT limited to 4K resolution as I just saw them playing on my ROG Ally (max 1080p). It seems to just be a problem with the port in general. I hear it was way more buggy at launch. Compa acts like she just can't code for anyone that ISN'T Slagstation and Noire the Whoire because the PS versions seem to consistently be the most stable versions of their games. Is it incompetence, is it favoritism, or is it both? Hmm...

>besides, i don't think gachafags usually do anything that isn't related to their gacha. the amount of fucking times i've tried to get blue archive/genshit/zzzfags to play or watch literally anything else only for them to write it off...
And frustratingly, it's not just a western weeb thing. The sales numbers in Japan support this. A decade ago, Japan bought and supported games in much higher numbers than they do now. Otaku and ecchi games on the Vita sold tens of thousands of copies in Japan alone. Now? They barely sell 5k. Famitsu numbers get more and more depressing each year. Anything that isn't AAA or Nintendo just does extremely poorly there now, regardless of quality. Where did all the audience go? What's the difference between then and now? Gacha becoming popular. The Japanese have become hopelessly addicted to their smartphones, and that commands all of their attention now to the point if it isn't on a phone, 90% of them don't care any more. The Sony/Nintendo censorship only explains things to a point. Nintendo's Switch now has an install base there dwarfing what the PS4 and Vita had even in their prime, and yet the otaku games that released on it (even before Nintendo became Sony 2.0) sold way worse than they did on the Vita or even the PS3/4. In fact, you can argue that just about everything wrong with Japanese games and anime today is downstream of gachashit devouring the domestic market, forcing the industry to turn its gaze westward and thus be subject to "global standards" and the judgement of Twittards and Covid weebs. 2020 was the tipping point, not just for Compile Heart games becoming lame, but Japanese games in general. And thus gacha took over the niches Japanese games used to fill, leaving us with our situation today where your choices are basically either pozzed/censored slop or mobile gambling skinner boxes. I hate this industry now and wish only death upon it. Here in the west, I open up Fediverse timelines and it's literally 50% gacha discussion or more. These people routinely complain about censorship and how cucked Japanese games have become, and how gacha is the only thing that caters to them now, yet almost NONE of them have even mentioned Tokyo Clanpool or LoveR Kiss Endless Memories, two uncucked Japanese games that just released recently, or even more indie stuff like Majogami or Sakuna. It's ALL gacha. Nigger, you have no right to complain about how lame Japanese publishers have become when the few that do go above and beyond to keep catering to you in spite of everything trying to stop them are met with barely any support for it.

>but gamers liked Phil Spencer
I don't know about that. He may have inherited most of the issues caused by his predecessors, but he didn't do much to resolve them in any way. He was also kinda of a lolcow. How delusional do you have to be to think you can just BUY OUT Nintendo with your half-dead enterprise? Nintendo were fucking whipping your dead console like a nigger on a cotton farm and you think you have any leverage over them? Of course, I only expect things to get worse under Ms. Pajeeta, but that does not retroactively absolve Phil of being a shitty CEO. Xbox has been a joke for generations now and poor leadership and decisions has much to do with it.
