Seems Wine has decided to confuse us all by using different version number schemes for their development and maintenance cycles, instead of the former steady progression.

October 17, 2008: Wine 1.0.1 Released

 

The Wine maintenance release 1.0.1 is now available.

 

This is a maintenance release from the 1.0 stable branch. It contains only translation updates and small bug fixes.

 

The source is available now. Binary packages are in the process of being built, and will appear soon at their respective download locations.

Or Earthbound 2, which ever floats your boat. So a little history lesson for all of you if you don't know Earthbound 2/Mother 3.

First announced in 1996 at Nintendo Space World in Japan for the Nintendo 64 as Earthbound 64/Mother 3. It went under several delays due to the team not being experienced in using 3D software and the difficulties in programming for the Nintendo 64. Development eventually moved towards the N64DD system towards the end of it's life cycle, and at the end of August 2000, was officially canceled by Shigesato Itoi. It was not until 2 years later in 2003, that the project was revived and slated to be released on the Game Boy Advance. On April 20, 2006, the dreams of hundreds of EB fanboys came true when Nintendo finally completed and released Mother 3 to the japanese public. To the ire of fans worldwide, Nintendo to this day has not even mentioned that they will bring it over to European or American shores.

That is, until now...

After more than 13 years of waiting, the sequel to EarthBound is now in English! I hope fans of the series, new and old, will find MOTHER 3 to be just as unique and interesting as its predecessors. We tried our very best to make a worthy translation, and I think we came close to hitting that mark. With any luck, the translation will seem just as "strange, funny, and heartrending" as the original Japanese version.

 

MOTHER 3 is filled with secrets and rarities. Characters say new things after even the tiniest of events. Take your time to explore the game's intriguing world - you won't be disappointed! And when you're done, be sure to come back here, because we've prepared many more goodies for fans to check out and enjoy post-game!

 

Enjoy your time in the world of MOTHER 3!

V1.0 is out on the site now!

Boing!

Edit: Video embedded as well. Warning! Contains spoilers!

After a long wait, Persona fans can finally rejoice... the previously Japan only Persona 2 : Innocent Sin also known by it's Japanese name of "Persona 2 : Tsumi" , The predecessor to Persona 2 : Eternal Punishment has finally been translated in English.

Widely believed to be a lost gem, now you can finally find out for yourself, don't miss the chance, especially since the project almost died close to completion.

Quoted from Romhacking.net

After two long years, this patch is finally complete and ready to be played by everybody out there. If you missed the previous update about beta testing, this is what you will find in the package:

 

* 100% translated text. Nothing was left out, not even some texture with Japanese text on them!

* A patcher to be used with the custom patch file. It’s all very easy to use (instructions are included);

* Subtitles for two movies that needed a translation, all without quality loss (soft-sub magic);

* No more lag on the Playstation 2!

 

Now go and enjoy the fruit of our hard work!
