Fixing Block 0 Bugs, Part 1
The last few days, I managed to get some time in to do lots of code tracing and documenting as we try to finish these last few bugs. The hardest part of this project is actually finding time now, the hacking is almost a kind of “it’s just a matter of time” thing at this point.
Anyways, I did get a lot of stuff figured out, but still have some more work to do before I start writing fixes. I’ll put the Block 0 thing (info on Block 0 here) to 15% for now though, it seems about right. I might have some time around the weekend, hopefully I can use that to get a lot done.
For those wondering what these bugs are and why they need to be fixed, here’s a quick explanation. There are certain special (Block 0 is all the special text in the game) lines of text in the game, some used in cut scenes, some used when you use items outside of battle, etc. These special lines use special programming, which needs to be fixed to work right. Otherwise, they’ll crash the game, corrupt memory like crazy, and just cause madness. One example I’ve given in the past is this video from a while back.
If the game doesn’t crash right away when this happens, it’ll corrupt memory a LOT, even corrupting graphics on screen, player data, and stuff like that. Here’s Flint using a deadly Block 0 item.
Graphic glitch 
No name, and no HP and PP??? 
WTF? Flint is actually a numb Lucas
with an IQ of 6 and bizarro equipment
and stats?
Nut Bread is not for the head
So anyway, my lofty goal is to fix all of this Block 0 stuff sometime this month, and, if I’m lucky, finish the last programming issue on the to-do list this month too, if possible. But it mostly depends on how much free time can be found or if we can find a time machine. Unlike with translating/editing, you really do need big chunks of time when doing hacks like this.
I’ll continue to make mini-updates of my progress in the comments, so even if normal updates are rare, you can still check things out as they happen.
love it
Keep up the good work, perservere!
beyond awesome mato
I’ll start working on the time machine, but I bet I finish it just as you finish the hacking.
Mato-san, I have come from the future to give you the secret to building a time machine from normal everyday household items. However, even when following the instructions to a T, it’ll still take about as long to build as it’ll take you to finish hacking. Sorry 🙁
YES
Pencil eraser Lol
well mato keep the good work we believe in you
PD:i know the nintendo plans
there is some where a secret nintendo agent who will steal this work and will use it when your traslation is finished then they will use for an offical traslation and you will be ruined.
take care mato the are here.
Where/How can I pick up this Quarter Circle music?
why ruined? he’s not getting any money in the first place, and he’s probably got backups hidden everywhere you can imagine
PD:i know the nintendo plans

take care mato the are here.
THAT WAS MY THEORY! I was thinking they wold do that.
Block 0 text causes the weirdest problems… it’s clearly the ghost of starman of hacking…
HOLY COW!!! GETTING SO CLOSE I LOVE YOU GUYS!
Mato, you should release a version of the patch without the block 0 hacks, just for fun. The effects of block 0 seem evil in an amazingly amusing sort of way.
But hide the link to the patch, and pretend it doesn’t exist. That way, we can have hope. Or be disappointed. Or both.
8D~
I can almost taste it.
@ the great morgil:
Couldn’t he build the time machine, then come back to right now and give himself the time machine?
Also, just to keep it on topic, he could also give himself the finished translation, but he probably would have done all that by now, or something…
GO MATOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!!!! KEEP ON TRUCKING
P.S. U ROCK
P.P.S. U should get a group of people to work on that time machine so we can skip past Block 0.
P.P.P.S. EARTHBOUND RUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUULES!!!!!!
Not much to say, just my general thanks and encouragement.
!
If fresh lumber is your weapon , i really don’t want to know about what the rope snake is… actually
your head has nut bread , your weapon is fresh lumber and your other is a rope snake..
*Flint trys to put nut bread on head*
*Flints defense went from 15 to 0*
*Flints WTF went from 0 to 150*
Man F*ck Block 0, I want to play now. Well, keep up the good work Mato. You are so awesome for doing this.
Lol nut bread for the head….
Anyway, I’m happy to see a fresh update for the first time this week. Keep it up, and remember, life gets better after block 0!
I’m to start wearing bread on my head now
*going
Pfft, I knew it’s all fake. There’s no number showing the HP and PP- forgot? Or thought we wouldn’t notice?
It’s useless, I might as well translate the game myself… Trying to convince and fool all of us… Bah!
Anyway, awesome work as always. I hope you can find more time to hack, but always find some sleeping time, first. Also, how many parts do you suppose the Block 0 bug fixing updates will have?
Keep it up! You have zillions of adoring fans waiting for this! O.O
“there is some where a secret nintendo agent who will steal this work and will use it when your traslation is finished then they will use for an offical traslation and you will be ruined.”
Um, no. ^_____^
that block 0 glitch video hurt my eyes! glad to see your not being lazy about that :P.
AWWW HECK YAH
DO IT!!!!!
There is a small possibility that we may all get sucked into a black hole before Mato’s next update. Neato.
Block 0! *makes dramatic pointing gesture* your days are numbered!
Awesome work! Those screens and text are funny! lmao!
Oh, these questions are a bit random, but one of them pertains to the project.
1. What would you say the EB Saga videos are rated? Wanted to watch ’em but I want to make sure they’re not… weird xP
2. Who’s your favorite Mother/Earthbound series hero and heroine? I like Lucas and Ana
3. What are you going to do after you finish the translation project, other than translating it into other languages? Go to Disney World??
4. I know it’s good to support Mother 3 in America, but… I don’t want this work to go to waste!! How would you feel if you were like, a couple numbers away from 100% completion on the project THEN Nintendo announced it? I would rip out my hair.
@ nekoaitsu
That is pure genius. It will give the hardcore fans a little extra difficulty. I’d play it to see how far I could get.
NUT BREAD DOES NOT WORK THAT WAY
“Nut Bread is not for the head” is now my MSN tagline. <3
OH MY GOD!
FLINT DOESN’T HAVE ANY PP!!!
So that’s Block 0 in action. Good to know it is just a matter a time.
BTW, I’m writing an Earthbound FAQ even though I don’t have the game yet (writing down what I DO know). I’ve seen other walkthrough authors do that too to prepare themselves. Is that strange?
Hey Mato i have an idea. you could ask dr. andonuts to make you into a robot and borrow the “just in case” Phase Distorter 4 and go into the future
Actually, Flint has 4 PP. His max PP is zero. That’s all.
?
Nut Bread is totally for the head.
Wow, Flint seems to have a low IQ. No wonder he equipped nut bread on his head, and is using a pencil eraser as body armor.
Must… Play… Mother… 3….
When I get it, I’m going to put it on my DS, then I’ll play it during class and my teachers will be like, “Why are you playing in class?”, then I’ll be all like, “It’s Mother 3!”, then they’ll be all like, “Oh. Okay. Cool.”
This is the best plan ever.
someone should draw a pic of lucas like that.. you know.., having the pencil eraser as body protection, the lumber, rope snake, nut bread on the head…. and if possible, show that he has a very low IQ… oh yeah, and if possible show that he’s numb
and think of some creative way to show that it’s actually flint (maybe flint looking in a mirror?)
I think flint’s equipment in that screen would make for a rockin halloween costume, even if nobody understands it and thinks you’re crazy.
Just wanted to say I’ve been following you guys and eagerly awaiting your finished product. Thanks for all your hard work! I legitimately hope someone big catches wind and offers you guys some good jobs.
Cheers
Ah, but Flint’s IQ is short for 6000; the top of the head is the place for nutbread. I’d love to be him if I was starving, building a house, needing a snake, or getting ready to take a scantron test.
Anyways, keep it up. I’m guessing there should only be two big updates left; Block 0 is done and the patch is ready for download.
yay!
i will be wearing nut bread when this patch is finished
See now i must agree with the guy that said that nintendo will try to steal the translation in some way so that they can release an official translated earthbound 2 in america thereby saving alot of moola. Its only logical that nintendo would say that they have no intention of translating the game so that loyal fans like you and me would do it for them so that they could take it fix some little bugs left in it and market it and make millions of dollars selling it to unsuspecting americans like ourselves. All these things aside i really respect what you guys are doing and i wish you all the luck in the world.
Its cool that you show us pics of block 0 bugs.
Hoo Hoo Hoo Hoo Hoo Hoo Hoo
Just an observation, but the effects of block 0 corruption remind me of Missingno from Pokemon Red and Blue. Now I’m sure it’s a similar TYPE of error (memory corruption), but it happens in a different way. Interesting.
The stats screen seems to have pulled a Final Fantasy on you.
Orange and red numbers? Seriously.
*Has been playing FF I&II Dawn of Souls to much.*
To everyone saying nintendo’s going to steal the translation, etc.:
Not only would they not do that, but if they did, where would they get the script?
Mato’s actually hacking/modifying the game rom, not editing the source code…
So if nintendo did steal it they’d have to hack/undo all of what mato’s done.
Jeez I should finish my homework 🙂
An update! *Generic Praises* and such, hopefully you take a well deserved break when this is over. The light at the end of the tunnel is near, you have a large following of nerds who cannot wait to play this game.
Mato is Pk Rockin!
I found that equipment glitch pretty hilarious.
http://boy-hero.net/bongjigamyun/pictures/OP_796.png
To Block 0: YOU DARE MAKE THE MOTHER 3 TRANSLATION GLITCHY?
YOU MUST DIE!
NO! NOT THE MISSINGNO! IT BURNS!
(help finish the patch Mato, and your face will be the greatest in Koro- er Mother!!!)
The Pencil eraser sounds like some pretty awesome body armor.
Flint is just a big Nut Bread Head 😛 keep up the awsome job, hope you finish soon
Block 0 must die.
Found the Link! Mato, you sly dog. You almost has me this time. Make the secret link secretly not secret in order to trick us out of finding it. Oooo, you are good! But, my friend, I’m afraid I’m better. 😛
>>I found that equipment glitch pretty hilarious.
You’re forgetting that it isn’t Flint, it is a numb Lucas!
MotherLover: Heheh, wondered how long it’d take someone to find it without cheating 😛
I found it right away, no cheating
Oh my gosh, Flint wearing a pencil eraser with a Nut Bread mask holding Fresh Lumber and a Rope Snake GOING TO HALLOWEEN would be far beyond epic.
haha. lol, nut bread for the head. Keep it up Mato-San.
Yay! I get to double this one up.
http://i37.tinypic.com/2l8zy1d.png
I found it too ;_;
I’m definitely putting a pencil eraser on my body.
And the secret link was awesomely done this time.
MUST…Get…SPORE…And…PLAY…MOTHER…3 *colapses on ground and dies*
Man. You know what would REALLY be horrible?
If, near the final days before the patch release, instead of announcing their own translation, Nintendo threw a Cease & Desist letter at Mato just to spite the Mother/EB fans.
I found the link to, but not until someone said something. Then I just went “WTF” and moved my mouse over the whole thing.
Nice job
I usually find the links instantaneously by luck, and this one was no exception
oh no, the end of the world is upon us! Now i’ll never get to play mother 3 in english =(
Some guy: Dont say that D: lol
Most excellent work Tomato Keep IT UPPP 🙂
I’ve never commented before but I’ve been following the progress for a few months. I am so excited to play! Thank you so much for doing this! I am always in the mood to play new games and whenever I get in the mood, the only game I can think of is Mother 3. Mother 3. Mother 3. Mother 3. Tons of love and well wishes that the rest of this goes smoothly and easily for everyone involved.
Been following since it was just mother3.org, from the beginning. Seeing it this close to completion is great, I’m glad to have been a part of this wild ride.
i am sure i sound like others, but i have been following this since the beginning on the original site and have never posted. i am just so proud of all of the work u guys have done. by the way, i am at bridgewater, nova scotia, canada. i used to play earthbound with my twin brother back in the day. it was big here when it orignally came out. i now work for Blockbuster and hope that i can get u guys the cash/props u deserve for this magnifcigant job u have done on this project. mato and everyone else on the team must have a true love for the series. thank you guys so much for your work. i will do my best to use my marketing degree to promote your work. let me know if u need any help adverting/marketing in Canada.
krayziecmb@hotmal.com
keep up the awesome work guys.
Steve Saunders
damn just noticed an error in my email.
krayziecmb@hotmail.com
Also been following this from the very start, I am also very proud, and my girlfriend bugs me each day cause I’m always checking here and watching the video’s etc hehe. Great work guys, it will be a very great achievement.
@KrayzieBons
Hehe, I’m in Liverpool!, how crazy is that, just 30mins away from each other and we stumble into each other on the web, on a Mother 3 fan translation site! What are the odds of that!?
I’ll have to stop into Blockbuster more often when I’m around the area and blert out some Earthbound reference or something, see if people think I’m crazy, or I hear the person behind the counter laughing 😛
Cheers!
Generic awesome compliments Mato!
Awesome another Nova Scotian Earthbound fan, I’m from Yarmouth but now live in Halifax. I used to plan Earthbound when it came out when I was little. My cusin bought the game so it came with the walkthrough which made it too easy but none the less fun as ever. I think I beat the game 5 times that year because it is so fun.
My girlfriend has family in bridgewater so I go there quite a bit.
Heh. Pencil Eraser armor. Now all we need are pencil enemies to match!
*No. 2 Pencil attacked Flint!
*Suddenly, the No. 2 Pencil disappeared!
YOU WON!
I’m looking forward to playing an English-translated Mother 3!
I kinda think nutbread could only be for the head when you have block(0)head problem 😉 That being said my nutbread head says yay for fixage 😀
@Someguy- To quote Mato, “Speaking of the boogeyman shall make the boogeyman come” so that kind of stuff… no.
MOTHER 3 made me wear bread on my head today.
very good, keep it up!!
I hear that google.com has the mother 3 jap rom
Other exaggerated titles? I can think of one. GOD.
Keep up the good work Mato! Show Block 0 what you’re made of!
I wish I could donate to you paypal, all this hard work on hacking, I know how hard it is cause I used to translate pokemon roms to my language (Hebrew), and it takes A LOT OF TIME, and will… so, I really appreciate your hard work and be sure I’m playing this one til’ the end when you release it, great work 🙂
I wish I could donate somehow 🙂
anyways, my email address is in this post 🙂
good luck!!! you’re almost there, just a little bit of more work and you’re done, so little translations for handleds really translate it all… but you are just great 🙂
Mato vs Block 0
—————
*Mato Uppercuts Block 0*
*Block 0 blocks*
*Mato Uppercuts Block 0 again*
*Block 0 ducks*
*Mato Uppercuts Block 0 again*
*Block 0 remains ducking*
*Mato does a sweep kick on Block 0*
*Block 0 trips*
*Block 0 gets to it’s feet*
*Mato Uppercuts Block 0*
*Block 0 goes flying and lands on the ground, and gets up.*
*However, Block 0’s health is depleted, as the screen goes dark and Block 0 wobbles around dizzy-like*
FINISH HIM!!!
*Mato reaches into Block 0’s ribcage and pulls out it’s still beating heart and squishes it like an overgrown grape*
*Block 0’s body falls to the ground in a heap*
FATALITY!
Flawless Victory.
Yay! You updated! Block 0 can be a drag. Flint has nutbread for his head?? LOL! Keep up the great work!
Hey Mitch could you draw a picture of the crazy equipped items that Mato posted? I wanna see what kind of crazy drawing you can come up with! Keep up the good work Mato and friends!!!!
Lark – if you haven’t submitted that picture to fan art at starmen.net, please do so! It’s hilarious and deserves to be in the gallery.
Wow, the people who programmed block 0 have been spying on me and my nut bread heading ways. I knew the secret would be out sooner or later. Thanks a lot Mato.
Oh My God. How many def points do the Pencil Eraser and the Nut Bread give? (No, I’m asking seriously.)
eeeehh… usually what I do to find the secret link is either by looking very carefully at the text, or by pressing tab to look up all the links. This one I didn’t really have to do anything. I wont spoil where the secret link is in this one. >.>
Based on Flint’s current defense Megaron, I’d say around -9 each.
Do I smell a new Starmen.Net webcomic revolving around that glitch??
Uhh… excuse me if you see one of my comments be posted multiple times… I think my laptop is wrong… 😛
Nut Bread is not for the head. Then again, pencil erasers do not go on the body, either.
Kama-san, I made up another battle sequence, yet it could not be posted… 😛
The last few months have been exciting >.< good work
If I could properly record videos from my SNES emulator, I’d hack Mato Vs. Block 0 into Earthbound and put it up on Youtube.
Actually, I have a solution. Give me about 2 hours, and I should have something very mediocre up for all to see. I’m still learning the basics of PK Hack.
Although you’re doing this out of the goodness of your heart i’m almost 100% certain there will be some very generous donations for taking your time to do this. Hell, its the least we could do for such a thorough job. Keep up the good work.
Hey Mato, I’ve been wondering, are you proud of your work on this project?
Sweet! I’ve been wanting to play this game for so terribly long. Too long… and in the madness this spawned, I started my own homage to Earthbound. Here’s a screen shot of the only part that partially works at the moment.
Or not… silly spammers ruin everthing.
Hmm…Flint/Lucas is equipped with the pencil eraser, eh? So I take it that there is a pencil eraser in this game? You mean you replaced the octopus statue from the game’s cache of sprites? Or did Mother 3 always have a pencil instead of an octopus, for some reason?
I’d go into more detail, but I’d prefer that stuff be discussed on the forum instead. Except it sounds like you haven’t played the game before, so uhh I’ll just say yes we made little changes like that to mimic an official translation, some of which are even in the menu patch.
Mato made that change a long time ago, I think. Not everybody knows the pencil statue in EB was an Octopus statue in Mother 2. For the statue to have the same nostalgic effect when it appears, it had to be localized to fit what EB had.
Hey mato, I had some experience in high school with programming in c++ and I remember my teachers tellin us to write psuedo code before actually programming. Now I am not saying you didn’t but you know I was thinking earlier and before my head caught fire and had to put it out this question came to mind. Does the block 0 only contain text or does it have both code on how certain stuff is to be run and text? Also, is it possible to rewrite the code so that you can get block 0 to operate correctly from scratch without the game trying to use the existing code contained in the rom?
Oh and also drop me an email i am just a curious sob interested in asm.
Block 0 can make you Wakko, and I partially mean Wakko Warner from Animaniacs.
Yessss its so close once this game comes out it will be hard getting me off the computer. Mato I hope you know everyone loves you. Do you know the most awesome psi attack would be Pk rockinlove it would be the beginning of ness’s pk rockin and the ending of Lucas’s pk love awesome attack don’t you think
Block 0 would probably drive most people insane. In fact, most people would have already gone insane over everything in this project. That shows how awesome everyone working on the project is.
Mato, I think Nintendo will pay you for the translation you made and market it in the Americas. I dunno, the only sad part of that happening would be that all Earthbound/Mother roms except Earthbound zero will be ESA protected.
No they wont, your comment makes my brain hurt.
You guys are the best
Why does nut bread head remind me of Anpan Man?
For anyone wondering, anpan is a sweetbread filled with sweet bean paste. It actually tastes better than you might imagine after hearing the phrase ‘sweet bean paste’. I know because there’s a wonderful Japanese bakery on the SE corner of University & Priest in Phoenix. Well, technically I guess it’s in Tempe, but close enough.
Glad to hear progress on what sounds like a nasty knot.
Rather surreal, that status screen. Body equipped only with a pencil eraser. I certainly hope it’s some big machine, like how I imagine the M2/EB Pencil Eraser, since the other kind we have in the real world wouldn’t exactly be concealing.
Mato, I truly and deeply love you and everybody else involved in this project. I’ve been looking forward to this ever since I played Mother 2 when it came out while I was a kid. Thank you for all of your hard work.
@ Dervish
Amen
That’s fine with me that you made some graphical changes to make the game feel more like an official localization…as long as you didn’t do stupid stuff like take all the red crosses off the hospitals like they did in EarthBound. But I suppose Nintendo did have good reason for that (they could have gotten sued by the Red Cross, which is also being sued by Johnson and Johnson). But since it’s technically a Templar symbol, and hundreds of years old, shouldn’t it be public domain?
Nut Bread. Apply it to the forhead.
“Nut bread is not for the head”
Says you…
Hey, dont sweat this problem. This is a GOOD problem, youre getting into the trippy psychedelic Moonside glitches, and now everyone in their mind is thinking about how they would look wearing a breadbowl hat, fantastic! This kind of funny shit only means you guys are so close to wrapping this one up. Kudos!!!
The Red Cross’ trademark is special. For one, trademarks don’t go into the public domain (unlike copyrights), though they can be lost if unused. But the Red Cross trademark (just like the Olympic trademark) was actually created by an international treaty and is written directly into the law. So it has even more rights than an ordinary trademark and there’s no way to get rid of it 🙂
I don’t know why they complain about stuff in video games (but they do). The usual fix, though, is to turn the crosses green. For some reason, that makes it all okay.
What if they used dithering of two colours to make the cross appear red, would that be acceptable?
In the dungeon man part in Earthbound there’s a little red cross above the entrance to the mini-hospital. Why was that put there, then?
here’s a link where it shows the red cross:
http://starmen.net/mother2/maps/dungeonman.png
Maybe it’s the angle?
The EB censor-ish people did miss a few things. Also, it might be the case that slanted versions or obscured versions (see the sign in Burglin park) weren’t deemed as lawsuit-causing.
Anyway, mini-update: made a very good piece of progress. Although it won’t matter to casual players, the fix just now succeeded in doing a couple things necessary, which also makes the debug room menus work properly now. I’d show pics, but spoilers and such 😛
Hooray!! Progress 🙂 … not that i plan on using the debug room…but still! Good Job 🙂
The stuff you can do with it is pretty crazy though, and it’s a pretty big part of the post-playthrough experience. Plus, the community’s gonna want to mess with it, so it’s good that it works again.
Hmmm…. Block 0 seems pretty evil, in an awesome sort of way. Keep up the great work! I’ll find my time machine plans I lost! Now to start with my basement…
Nice, keep working hard we’re with you guys!
you are a god among men.
How do you use the debug room?
@Edgar the Alien: Ha! That’s supposed to be like those “Head-on” commercials, isn’t it? They never did explain what it does…
On a more related note, I’d like to thank you for all of your work towards getting us the coveted Mother 3. I know how hard it is not to give up on something you’ve started.
Arashi: There’s a gameshark code to access it. See the starmen.net M3 boards if you want info on it.
Are you going to have much time to fight Block 0 this weekend, Mr. Mato?
I’ll be at a wedding
Alfonso Alfredo said:
“@Edgar the Alien: Ha! That’s supposed to be like those “Head-on” commercials, isn’t it? They never did explain what it does…”
That’s because it doesn’t do anything. It’s a stick of wax. The company had claimed in a previous advertisement that HeadOn “provides fast, safe, effective headache relief,” but the Better Business Bureau objected and they’ve been careful to avoid claiming that their product actually DOES anything in subsequent ads.
BTW, I remember one time my friend said she was playing Mother 3 during lunch break, some kid came over her shoulder and actually asked “Oh, are you playing Mother 3?”. She says she was pretty shocked he knew. XD
Yay! “casual gamers might not notice” blah blah. a step’s a step!
Nice! good work guys!
Also, on a side note: Hey mato, i was perusing the internet, and found dejap translations, and “tomato” is listed in their staff. =O could this be you?
> What if they used dithering of two colours to make the cross appear red, would that be acceptable?
No. They care how it looks, not how it’s made 🙂
> That’s supposed to be like those “Head-on” commercials, isn’t it? They never did explain what it does…
It’s a homeopathic remedy. Now, there are actual alternative medicines made out of herbs that can have useful effects, but homeopathic remedies aren’t among them. Though unknown herbs too often have bad effects, given that they don’t dose things in any standard way and it matters a lot whether you’re taking a half a dose or 20x a proper does of anything. You may remember the uncontrolled doses of ephedra people were taking that caused heart failure & death.
Anyhow, homeopathic remedies are different, because they don’t do a damn thing. They dilute whatever it was that supposedly had an effect with water until they’re left with pure water that they call a “tincture.” They claim that water has a “memory” even though they dilute things until they’re pure water. Whereas everyone knows that dilution makes effects *weaker*, they think it makes things *stronger*
Were that true, given all the drugs flushed down the toilets of the world (and dumped into the oceans), the massive dilution would “strengthen” things so that you’d end up with a huge dose of crack, PCP, marijuana, etc. every time you drank tap water, simply because once upon a time those things came into contact with the water supply and got diluted out of existence. Given that people aren’t dying of crack overdoses from drinking bottled water (which is actually bottled tap water, BTW), I think we can conclude that homeopathy doesn’t work.
So while there’s a scientific basis for saying that unknown herbs that get sold as ‘alternative remedies’ can have some effect (which should be properly studied and dosed, lest you kill yourself on something like ephedra), there’s absolutely no scientific basis for homeopathy and the only reason so many people give it any credence is that they don’t know how it allegedly works 🙂
That said, any “remedy” that isn’t harmful can cause the placebo effect and make people feel a little better by reducing stress. But you might as well eat a drop of honey (which is good for you) or most anything else that makes you feel better instead of buying scam products.
Though I’m tempted to market a “gullibility eraser” that’s really a brick. “Apply directly to the stupid!” 😉
Good job with the Debug room Mato!
Hey Muto~
I’ve been keeping an eye on this site for almost a year now, and I never commented on any posts up until now.
So I just wanted to say that I really appreciate your work, and everyone else who’s been working so hard on this project. To spend so much time and effort on something with no profit involved, no gain other than the undying love of Mother fans everywhere… it’s just so amazing, and I wanted to thank you all for doing this.
It’s so close to completion now, I can almost taste it… I must say I’m very excited! :3
Whoops, eheh. I make a wonderful post about my admiration, and I accidentally misspell Mato. Nice job, Kemi. D’oh!
Good thing he’s not Muto otherwise he wouldn’t be able to talk about the translation work ;(
WOAH!!!
Flint has the same IQ as me 😀
@Barbossa: I dug a little more and if you go on to the forum link on dejap, click on the topic made by Tomato, and then click his profile, his web site will be a link to Mato’s site.
Man, I just beat Earthbound. What a great game. It makes me 100 times more excited for the translation.
a fan. that was an excellent post you made, and should be put into the faq page as a perfect example of what does not belong on this blog, but instead should be submitted on the spillover board. after reading that post i am in need of large quantities of head on.
Thank you for translating and all of your hard work that you have put into this game! I will make sure to beat the game as many hours you put work into bringing this game to English reading gamers! Thank you so much!
Good Luck, and godspeed
Hey!
I was seeing all the other people saying that they’ve been watching this whole time and never posting just like me, and I couldn’t help but think, man, that’s so repetitive. I would never want to say that.
So I won’t. But I will say, “Mato, my hero is you!”
I love you, mato.
No really. i think i do. There’s a funny feeling in my gut whenever I see you post.
