Sharing some good news! (Sorry if you've already heard about it)

"So why exactly should you care about this fan translation patch - especially when there is already a PlayStation 1 version available? The Sega Saturn port of Policenauts features several additional scenes, a slightly modified story and light gun support - effectively making the Sega Saturn edition of the game the definitive one."
Fuck yes! I played through Policenauts on my modded PSX using a mouse, but I sure as hell will play through the superior version with Stunner support once again.
Oh god yes!!!!!
Since I finally got a Modded Saturn I think its about time I dust off my Saturn Lightguns!
I've always wanted to play this game.I didn't even know there was a translated playstation version...
It was like one of the biggest fan efforts in years. Totally on par with the Mother 3 translation.Quote:

incredible translation. The team deserves a ton of respect, not just for how faithful and well written the translation is, but for the number of technical hurdles they crossed. This saturn translation might take years, just like the PSX one did, because it's not simply a matter of inserting text into the game. Significant portions of the game need to be reprogrammed. I'd recommend checking out the PSX version if you can't wait, because it's worth it. It's a lot better with a playstation mouse, too.
Also, is it too much of a pipe dream to ask for PC-E Snatcher to be next :P
I didn't think there was much radically different with PC-E Snatcher to warrant a translation.
censorship and a radically different, and shorter, act 3.Quote:

Okay, that does it. Somebody point me to directions and supplies for a Saturn mod please.
About the extras in the Saturn version:
racketboy,its a really easy mod with only 2 solder points but you need a model 2 saturn.Quote:

Oh that's right I forgot about the differences with Act 3.Quote:
