Sin and Punishment (N64) has been translated into English!

[Kerr Avon]

Sin and Punishment (mainly known by it's Japanese title of Tsumi to Batsu) now has an unofficial fan translation, so you can play it on your N64 in English (you need a backup device to play it, of course).

The game, which was voted the best shooter ever by Retro Gamer magazine, was an N64 exclusive that was never released outside of Japan in the N64 years, though later it was made available (in English) for the VC downloads on the Wii. But now you can play it on the N64 in English, which is fantastic news. For details see;

BTW, I had a bit of trouble applying the patch - neither the version of the game rom I already had, nor the next three I downloaded, would accept the patch, it was the fourth download (all from different sites, and none of the downloads were corrupt) that worked, so to save yourself some trouble, if you want the working English version, pm me your e-mail adress.

NB. You can play this on an N64 emulator too, but there is already an emulator only translation of the game at;

I've not tried this myself (I don't tend to use N64 emulators, as they are less than perfect at the moment), so I don't know how this compares to the new translation.

Hey this works great. Sweet work.

[MockyLock]

Thank you.
But something weird, i can boot it only in EEP4K setting.
If i wanna force EEP16K, i stays on a black screen.
Did anyone encountered the sale issue ?

[bidou67]

Same problem for me only work when i launch in EEP4K seeting , also EEP16K Black screen

[Kerr Avon]

I can't test it right now, does it work (and save) OK with EEP4K selected? I can't remember if I set EEP16K or if I forgot (I think the latter...) when I played it.

[TeamShake]

It seems to save fine on EEP4K

Any option HIG RESOLUTION in the game ?

[Kerr Avon]

Sorry, as far as I know there's no way to get better graphics with this, unless the Wii virtual console version has updated visuals?

There might be a fan made graphical update, I don't know, but they can only be used with emulators, sadly.

The game is probably optimised as high as it can get without slowing down. There's no reason for having a High Resolution option in a console game. Games that support the expansion pak should have a higher resolution mode kicked in automatically when it detects your expansion pak.

The English Wii virtual console version was soft-patched with a texture replacement translation similarly to the the old fan translation that uses Rice’s Video Plug-in in emulators. I don't think there's any updated visuals besides the translation but even if it were, it wouldn't work on real hardware.

Yes, but on some N64 games, selecting high resolution mode adds noticeable slowdown to the game (and N64 games generally don't have a high frame-rate anyway, since most of it's games are 3D but it's 3D hardware is (relatively) very basic), so some people prefer to run these games in low resolution even if there is a high resolution option.

I meant that console games usually don't have such an option since unlike PCs, all N64 have the same specs (unless you use an expansion pak).
But you say there are games that have a high resolution option that the player can switch between? Any examples?

[MockyLock]

Such games as Perfect Dark, Turok 2, Rayman 2 or even Resident Evil 2.

I see, I didn't know that.
