His Royal Highness Lv. 1 (Ouji-sama Lv1)
Alice Soft BL RPG. Despite what you'd expect, it's SFW (but has an optional patch that adds a few ero scenes). Takes place in the Rance universe and shares a lot of worldbuilding elements. The writing is funny as fuck. The game's from 2001 and kind of crusty though. Be nice to it please. Be nice to me please.
Madou Monogatari/Sorcery Saga (Saturn)
YIPPI!!!!!!! This hack was a collaboration with paul_met of Meduza Team who handled hacking and graphics, I just did the translation. The character and gag writing is kinda odd if you're a Puyo diehard (what did they DO to Schezo in this game...) but it's charming in its own right and has a frankly astounding level of polish for a game that spent years in development hell as the company was going bankrupt. It's intended as a reboot so you don't need to be a series fan to play it, and the gameplay is simple and accessible. I also know it's one a lot of people have begged for an English version of for a long time, plus I have a lot of personal fondness for since it was one of the first Saturn games I played, so I'm really glad I got to do it.
Waku Waku Puyo Puyo Dungeon
First ground-up ROMhack not based off an existing English patch, wow... this has been in the works since like 2019 as I've tried again and again to pick up the technical skills for it and hit various walls, now it's finally off my bucket list. Anyway, this is a cute dungeon crawler with a lot of fun banter between the Puyo Puyo cast. It's a serviceable-if-not-janky Mystery Dungeon clone but the pretty graphics and the amount + variety of interactions between the characters are the star of the show imo. I'd really like to also do the enhanced PS1 edition someday, but due to how the font in that game is handled it would be a much bigger challenge. *enters the hyperbolic time chamber to study romhacking for 2000 years but it's like 20 minutes in the real world*

This is olddddddddddddddddddddddddd (a decade now, wow) so the TL is in all likelihood not very good and I've kind of disowned it, but it was my first large-scale project and bears mentioning.

Biraku Emblem
Fire Emblem 3 hack that embedded itself so deep in Japanese fandom lore that there's a line in FE12 that's a possible reference to it, if that counts for anything. A little crass at times but the maps are a blast. I learned ROMhacking for this. 12 pages of translator's notes so you know I'm not fucking around. None of you guys will play it though because Americans don't like FE3. T-that's fine... I-it's not like I translated it for you or anything...

RHDN Mirror
Hoshi wo Miru Hito (Stargazers)
The classic. If you know you know. Had a partially-finished translation available already, but it wasn't very functional and what little was translated was gobbledygook so I fixed it.
