Episode 93: Sakura Wars Columns 2 and the Dreamcast Translation Scene - featuring Derek Pascarella & Burntends

The Dreamcast Junkyard DreamPod

Dreamcast fan translation fever is at an all time high! Well, it is amongst our staff members at least. Derek Pascarella and Burntends join us for a lengthy chat about fan translations for the Dreamcast and the wider community of talents that make these projects happen. They also give us a fascinating peak behind the curtain at their process for hacking and translating the recently translated Hanagumi Taisen Columns 2 (aka Sakura Wars Columns 2).
