So apparently you can play Steam Cave Story with the old aeon genesis translation by just dragging the .tsc files over from one to the other

Balrog's catchphrases are... only like two thirds of why I want to do this

@quinn2win
Thu, Jul 15, 2021 8:26 PM
the remaining third is that a lot of the nicalis translation is just

what happens to text that wasn't in the original though?

I assume it uses the new translations

@quinn2win

the script is broken up into a lot of different files

anyway here's a concrete example of the translation quality drop

AG: Our real mommies were killed by robots. We hadn't even opened our eyes yet... But Curly raised us.
Nicalis: Our real mother was killed long ago by the robot. And she's the one who raised us, even before we could open our eyes.

I think Nicalis's "the robot" is a technical accuracy fix but just

AG:
Balrog: You can't hide, no no! I've got the nose of a bloodhound!
Misery: Indeed you do. The nose, and I daresay the brain as well.

Nicalis:
Balrog: It's no use hiding from me! I have the nose of a clever harrier!
Misery: Yes, he has the nose AND the brain of a dog.
