Yes, but you'd need to defeat the copy protection schemes around that, that is chip the console or a similar solution. That's why emulation would be a better and legal solution for legitimate owners.kitano wrote:I'm not an expert in this matter, but is it possibe in theory, even in the Saturn version, to patch and re-burn the game in order to work on a real system?
I thought that saturns natively supported CD-R copies. I could be wrong on that one, though.Snatcher wrote:Yes, but you'd need to defeat the copy protection schemes around that, that is chip the console or a similar solution.

Which is my case. I was specifically refferring to the possibility of re-burning my own legitimate copy onto a cd-r, which I'm entitled to do (I'm not under US law jurisdiction, as a side note). I wasn't aware of the Saturn's cd-r protection, though. But Im sure that can be circled easily enough.That's why emulation would be a better and legal solution for legitimate owners.
You might be thinking of the Sega CD. It's my understanding that the Saturn requires either an Action Replay (etc.) or a fairly perticular "swap trick."James_The_Stampede wrote:I thought that saturns natively supported CD-R copies.

Well that's where you run into problems with Konami...I'm sure they don't like a fan group translating the game unofficially, and if you throw emulation into the batch, there's bound to be trouble.Junker_05 wrote:Eh, who cares if you're breaking copyright laws or not...
It's Policenauts, man! Besides, I'm sure most of us here has burnt a CD or DVD despite copyright laws...
I don't think it'd be a big problem actually, people make fan translations all the time, and companies hardly seem to care. Still, I agree, translate the PSX script, not only would that be the better choice, but then we wouldn't need to translate a seperate script for my PSX translation of it, that is, if you the translator, allow me to use your translated script.Ninja Kurosai wrote:Well that's where you run into problems with Konami...I'm sure they don't like a fan group translating the game unofficially, and if you throw emulation into the batch, there's bound to be trouble.Junker_05 wrote:Eh, who cares if you're breaking copyright laws or not...
