/vr/ - Retro Games

My latest project, Baroque on the Playstation, just started last night. Hacking the kana table was easy enough, the kanji is another story. It's not in a logical order like SJIS or EUC or anything I can see, really. I'm not sure if they stored them by the order they're used in the game or what. Right now I'm just figuring them out line by line, which is a lot of work, but it appears to only be about 400 characters rather than the full set of JIS. The other thing is that there doesn't appear to be an 8x16 font, so everything is monospaced for now. If I get really ambitious I'll redo the font and use DTE.

Still, this has been something I've wanted to do for a long time, so I'll persist. I might take a look at the Saturn version to see if there's any significant difference besides the game engine.
