Just a little progress report for you guys. A user by the name of christoph over at the Racketboy forums has emailed the guy that owns the company translating the game, and the guy emailed him back this message.
Hi Chris! Thanks for writing.

Yes, we are absolutely still working on our translation of Segagaga.
Due to the unpredictability of our group members' schedules for
collaborating, we've preferred a less public approach to communicating
updates on our progress than we've taken in the past. Given the
regularity and intensity of our earlier public updates, many people
understandably have been confused regarding how much attention we're
paying to Segagaga. Rest assured: it's still in the works.

Thanks!
James
So it would seem hope is not lost after all!

I understand it would be time consuming to translate a game, but come on. You can't tell me they haven't had enough time in 5 YEARS to get it finished.

The Shenmue 1&2 french translation started in 2006, and while having a good number of people working on it, it still have to be finished.

Shenmue is bigger than segagaga, and has way more text.
Believe me I know, I did an almost complete translation of the first cd in shenmue 2...

Then I hope you know that translating the text is a tiny percent of the total amount of work.

It's not a tiny, on the contrary. Atleast regarding shenmue but there are many pther aspects to take care of, but the text occupies the majority of the task in that game, huge. In segagaga I guess they had trouble decompressing the textures, and not much time to effectively work on it.

But you can't start to translate without the tools. For Shenmue, those took years to be ready.

When I started there were only two or 3 tools and very limited, that task is now immensely easier thanks to manic and sizious.

Dreamcast, it's still thinking.

Over-clocked : Dreamcast currently running at 240Mhz (switchable)

Internal VGA, extra cooling fans, disc activity LED, SD card reader done :-)

Dreamcast HD wanted

I have a feeling you are going to have to wait a very very long time MAYBE in another 5 years it will be done, but I doubt it will even be released then.

11 years and still nothing, I understand about schedules having to line up but 11 years! 11 years and absolutely nothing to show.

How do you have nothing to show after 11 years?

In the time since you posted this you could have learned Japanese and started your own fan translation of Segagaga and made a lot more progress than this
