Answering some questions

Its been nearly a year since I've worked on this. But all is not lost. I still have what I worked on. So the-evil-psycho need not fear of never getting a proper GK3. Its just getting our hands on a English version of GK4 or KOEI working on GK5.

Just wondering about one thing though. Do you remember the DOS version of Genghis Khan II? The battle sprites were a lot different than those in the console versions. Just wondering if a Japanese version of the dos version exists which still has the harem game intact."

Yes the Japanese PC version does have the harem game intact. The console version on the harem game and pc version are different in the presentation. Examples can be found in older posts.

Anyone who wishes to help would actually have to know what they are doing from this point. I appreciate the offer though. Although maybe fleshing out all the hex edits possible might be interesting.

I can make a hex edit so that the rulers are different but I can not add lines into the rom without the rom failing to load. Which is the problem now. Making every ruler and empire selectable( which would be awesome) is not possible without being able to do this.

Awesome, can't wait for more Genghis Khan Goodness, I'd love to help, but I know next-to-nothing about romhacking, sadly.

Looking forward to hearing more, cheers!

Hi SARTAQ KHAN, How are you? If it may be of your interest, I have been able to find a running version of GK IV. Since here, I have also found this guy that has been able to translate the game in English using resourcehacker software. I tried to do the same, but I can't do the translation because the program shows me a lot of "????" instead than the japanese letters. So I can't copy and paste in google translator :(
I have also tried to register to the forum, but maybe the moderator is on holidays and my account is still unactive.
This is the link: hope it will give you more energy to your project!
Please,in case answer me privately at mattialoyNOSPAM@teletu.it (remove the "NOSPAM" part, thanks)
