Translating The Past: Is AI the Future of Video Game Emulation?
In the midst of the Anti AI Art movement and the ever evolving complexity of the algorithms they are rallying against, this video essay discusses current flaws and future potential of AI Translation technology within Retro Game Emulation. Through rigorous testing of 3 games that never got localizations or fan translations (Tokimeki Memorial 2, Sakura Wars 2 & Boku No Natsuyasami 2), we will see how well Retroarch and ZTranslate's AI Translator works for the average player. We will also discuss the ways in which this technology could one day be used in more formal localisations by professional teams, and wel will come to understand the nuances of the AI debate.

    15:18 This is such an elitist attitude. Tokimeki Memorial will never get an official western release due to the current state Konami is in and because of the general attitude and contempt of westerners toward games like this. Anyone who is interested in this game should be grateful any translated version even exists.

    First of all,thank you for making this video about Tokimeki Memorial. It brings back so many fond memories of mine in the mid 90s to early 2000. It's really sad I'm unable to replay it again as I'm 48 now 😂😂😂. I have played before Tokimeki Memorial Forever With You, Tokimeki Memorial 2 & Tokimeki Memorial 3. But my top favourite will always be Tokimeki Memorial 2. If there's an English translation version for Tokimeki Memorial 2 & 3, i will not hesitate to buy a new console to replay these games again. It doesn't matter which console as long it's compatible with my plasma TV😂😂😂😂😂.

They are, really fun, but I still want to understand what's up with the japanese side of it, so you could say these games inspire people to reach more knowledge, maybe.

    good video but you're looking too much into the US influence stuff. that style of fashion was just popular in japanese cities in the 90s. It's like how the Leon Kennedy haircut and Asuka Mishima haircut were in every jp other game in the 90s. That fashion also never left, it was just contained to its respective subculture. What happened was the internet let everyone pick and choose what they like from each subculture and fashion and as a result those subcultures basically don't have a real unique visual identity anymore.

      The FMV is relegated to intro and ending scenes, nothing inbetween. The SFC version has a lower resolution for the sprites, but the game still looks incredible for the 16 bit console. There's also 2 GBC games sort of based on the first TM, each with an exclusive new girl not found in any other version. The GBC games even have a tiny amount of speech, and the spritework for the handheld is absolutely incredible. It's a shame the guy never even mentioned it in this video, though he likely doesn't know of both cartridges.
