>>2763663Hardmode and the JP translation can both be burned to work on chipped playstations. I burned hardmode wrong first time, but someone on here said he'd done it, so I gave it another go.
Thjere's also the SoTN hackd project by Esco, which has been going for at least 7 years now. Full credit to Esco, he updates pretty frequently, and he's always working on the project. He certainly has a vision for the game, and has even put out a few tech demos. On the downside he's jumped game engines three times, and it's been *seven* years.
