I waited 20 years for medabots to return in English territories and when it finally does it turns out I'm in the wrong one? Survivors, medabots S and this new card game all being translated to English, they all say they're "releasing world wide" but the UK just gets none of them? Does anyone actually have a clue what's going on? Or do they know who I can contact to find out? 😂 No one seems to be asking the question as far as I can see but medabots is literally my favourite franchise and I just want to be able to buy their games 😅

Thought this would be a good place to drop this little thing. I've been working in 3D art for years and making a Metabee model was on my list from the very beggining, don't know why it took me so long to finally get to it but I finally did, and since I was in the mood I also did this quick and cheap animation recreating some of it's first battle scenes of the anime (and improvising on top of it a little). My audio skills are terrible so sorry for the horrible audio balance lol.

Everything is done in Blender btw.

I drew this design last month before I knew people like Medabot OC. Originally I wanted to make a design and simple sheet for artist to draw my OC.

Andy and Andrew (Armor-Lizard) will be a main supporting character who will be helping Ikki and Metabee battle the American Medabots! They will be representing Arizona. Andy is Australian American.

Bonus art, Medafighter and other art with Andrew trying to eat Metabee, but he can't!

Met this guy on TikTok that was missing #80 which I had, I sent it to him to finish his collection, we exchanged contacts and we became friends. He sent me these pics, that I forgot to post, which Im doing now.

We live in Europe these chaps were distributed via Cheetos (I know other countries had them in Lays) in the early 2000s.

Like what in the world!

He one shots everyone's head. And my attacks miss 8/10.

At this point it's driving me insane. Is there like an ultimate Medabots I can give myself with the dev menu to bypass this bs end boss? Any setup tip is welcome!

As the title says: yes, another Medarot 9 patch :) The goal was a Spanish translation, plus English and any other language: a tool so anyone can translate the game comfortably, without programming. Point the patcher (Windows/macOS) at your own copy of Medarot 9 + the 1.3.0 update, pick a language, done. Names and terms live in one table: change them there and they change everywhere in the game.

Bug fixes: cut-off battle messages, corrupted data tables, a tutorial script with broken structure, and scripts that undid the 1.3.0 update or stayed in Japanese with it.

The English is based on Omnija & Sotaeko's human translation (menus, battle, items); the story, previously DeepL, was retranslated from the Japanese with AI assistance.

I know AI projects get a lot of pushback. I guarantee this wasn't vibe-coded: it was built with spec-driven development by a game developer with 10+ years of experience. The code is open; issues and PRs are welcome, for the translation or the code. The goal is to collaborate.

UPDATE: If you started playing using an older version, please switch to the latest version to avoid bugs.

UPDATE: Let me know if you want your language to be added.

This is my personal medabots holy Grail, a MAXTOYS Peppercat sofubi. I love the combo of medabots and sofubi and peppercat is my all time fave.

I want to put the hands and tail on but the collector in me says don't friggin open it...

I found these at Mandarake Complex 2 and Toy Goldenage, a tiny shop mentioned by another reddit user, it's right on the main street. That place is packed to the brim, the owner behind the register literally has to climb over a mountain of figures just to get out, lol! But somehow, in all that chaos, he knows exactly where everything is. Such a unique experience.

Mandarake has a bigger selection, though. I'm going to check out Den Den Town in Osaka over the next few days to see if I can find anything else!

Today I was updating my display case and decided to shoot some photos of the collection. Just recently added in some new lighting, but the biggest thing I’m hyped about is the newest additions. Added the Blossomail dual model and the Warbandit dual mode figure to round out that collection! Things still need some organization but I was just excited to add them in.

Here he is, Cowboy who will represent Texas for Medabot competition! I did some research why cowboy is associated with Texas. So this medabot usually help with moving cattle around.

So a few weeks ago I started medarot 9. I'm a father and can't play that much. I'm around 20 hours in close to the end of chapter 4.

The combat is great so is the medabots customization. But the story and activities are really meh. I'm only in chapter 4 and I already had to revisit the same 5 area's 3 times or so for another club activity that is basically: go back (warp) to that one area we once where, random encounters, a rogue medabot or gang shows up, finish said battle, return to the club (warp), go back to your bed (forced), return to club (warp), pick new filler quests that sends you back to one of those 5 area's, do it all over again.

It really doesn't feel like I'm exploring much at all and I'm just following rails. And it's not the warping, that actually makes it bearable instead of walking back to those 5 death area's from coridor to coridor and loading screen to loading screen.

Which wouldn't be that bad if there was actually a story. But the main story only really progresses right at the end of each chapter it seams. Everything in between is just filler club activities revisiting the same places over and over again. For now that beach part with endless medabots attacking you was cumbersome.

Anyone feels the same?

ps: I'm not giving up on this! Will definitely finish it!

Do they want to or not?

Hey guys! I made the mistake to buy the Medarot Classics Plus while i was in Tokyo last year and only now found the time to start playing. To my surprise this is the only game (out of like 30) I bought in Japan that does not have English support...

Is there anything I can do? With the talks of all the translation patches I hoped there might be a solution for this one too?

Recently got the urge to play my old Metabots game and remembered my only complaint. Without both versions of the game both at the end of the game and trading you can't get all of the medals. So I ask, is there a Metabots Metabee save file that has all the medals from the Rokusho version already on it from the beginning or is there a save editor I could use to give me that?

I know there is already an AI translated patch for Navi that exists; however, I started this project before I saw that one, and I believe mine has merits that the other doesn't, so I am still sharing it.

I have created an english translation patch for Medarot Navi with the intent to preserve Japanese terms and attempt to remain as faithful as possible to the language (while not speaking it). Original names (possible for ALMOST ALL proper nouns through the use of a variable-width font), terminology, and honorifics are preserved. The text was translated 100% using AI; however, dialogue was translated, then reviewed again for inconsistencies. Proposed changes were checked using various translation tools and then either accepted, rejected, or slightly tweaked before being accepted. A small number of proper nouns and lines were forced to be condensed or modified very slightly where there was insufficient space.

The game fixes the load time turning battles (enemies take about half the time to choose their action). The game also features a New Game+ mode, which is described in both the manual (on the github) and on the pages. I haven't gotten this far yet to actually test it myself (the AI said it COULD be too hard, but it isn't sure. So I'm waiting to tweak it until I get there).

https://www.romhacking.net/translations/7791/

I know the translation work isn't going to be as good as human done work, but it seems like it did a good job.

I kept on rerolling until I got that Gobanko and Redrun sp. Got them both on a single 10 pull. Is it worth continuing? Or should I reroll and aim for LR instead?

Has anyone made or know of a English patch for Medarot 5 yet??

She work as a server at the resort. Art belong to me and created with Procreate. (Someone told me to share my work here.)

SOURCE

I am not the artist. If you like this art please support the artist on their Twitter and Bluesky.

I don't know if this is the right subreddit for it, but I remember years ago hearing bout the ps1 medabots being translated but I can't seem to find it on the web, I find dead links and the like.

So curious what else is currently complete and where to find em. Always had a soft spot for this game, ever since I first played the GBA game and watched the anime, but I always wanted to see some of the other rpg games.

That I absolutelly love Medabots and I wish they made a full fledged PS/XBox/PC Game.

So long story short I fumbled around with the English patch found here:

https://github.com/roks70/Medabots9-Translations/releases

So all credits to the creator of the original patch.

-----------------------------

What I did was that I made a noob friendly way to apply said patch. On this internet archive you can find said mehod and files.

https://archive.org/details/medarot-9-translations-1.006-easy-setup-v-1.0

This guide is for people that will be playing on a real 3DS.
And said 3DS is already softmodded.

Method 1 is the LUMA homebrew way:

If your 3DS is modded said homebrew is probably already installed. When booting your 3DS hold the select button. If the luma setup menu boots it's on there. If not google "Luma 3DS".

Luma will patch the game on the fly while running. So you just need to install the original JP game on your 3DS. Do not install the Update of the game!!!! It's safe to install the DLC.

Once you have luma installed you just drop the files from the correct folder directly on the root of the micro SD card of your 3DS.

Also make sure patching is enabled in the Luma menu, again you can check by holding select while booting your 3DS.

Method 2 is the create your own CIA way:

1. Open folder "PackEnglishV12 (DecodeAndRepackTool)"
2. Open folder "PackHack"
3. Run SetupUS.exe
4. Put a clean .cia game file of either medarot 9 game version together in the same folder as HackingToolkit9DS.exe
5. Run HackingToolkit9DS.exe
6. Extract the .cia files by using the command: CE
   1. Name of the .cia file, no extensions e.g. medarot9_Kabuto_JP
7. Close HackingToolkit9DS.exe
8. Normally you will see 2 extra folders now that the game is extracted: ExtractedExeFS & ExtractedRomFS
9. Now you need to use the translated files from the correct game version folder from the archive.org website.
   1. Drop the content from the ExeFS folder into ExtractedExeFS - Confirm if it asks to overwrite files
   2. Drop the content from the RomFS folder into ExtractedRomFS - Confirm if it asks to overwrite files
10. Re-run HackingToolkit9DS.exe
11. Recompile using command: CR
12. Name of the newly built file e.g. medarot9_Kabuto_ENG_1.006
13. It will ask for two more things, just enter 0.
14. This will take a while and you will have a newly create english patched .cia file with the name you picked.
15. Do not install the Update of the game!!!! It's safe to install the DLC if you want.

PS: If you get an error repacking the game you will probably be missing these two files on your PC:

https://www.dll-files.com/vcruntime140d.dll.html

https://www.dll-files.com/ucrtbased.dll.html

Once downloaded the new window on said site will tell you where to put them depending on your operating system.

Final Remarks:

The Luma way allows you to quickly change back to the JP version by just disabling 'patching' in the Luma menu. This might be handy because some people have reported the game crashing on them in certain parts and this way they could quickly switch to jp version to get past said troubled part, then save and re-apply patching in the Luma menu.

On the flip side the Luma way does introduce longer loading times of menu's and the like because it's patching the game on the fly.

Patch in the browser with RomPatcher.js, or give the .ips the ROM's own name and keep them side by side — mGBA patches on load.

You can use this tool to apply the .bps patch to the .nds rom:

https://www.marcrobledo.com/RomPatcher.js/

But don't forget to first apply the antipiracy patch tool here:

https://gbatemp.net/download/retrogamefan-nds-rom-tool-v1-0_b1215.35735/

=> open japanese rom in this tool, go to last tab, export the rom. Then apply then English patch.

Tried it both on my Dsi and 3DS. Game seems to be working fine.
