Japanese games are emulated. If you are having problems running some games, post more info here and people will try to help you.

ZSNES runs games from any region.

Emulate and translate are two waaay different things, just in case you were thinking about that, It could happen.

New feature for ZSNES: Auto on-the-fly translation FROM any language TO any language. Perfect!

Let's randomly speculate on how much processing power it would take to have Zsnes' AI translate and interpret the language and plot perfectly from and to any language, hack the game font flawlessly and make it look good, find and change any sprites with text on them and bugfix everything....at startup.

You'd have to extract the text first.

OMG I want this technology. Nach, you think you can work it into your paper somehow?

Heh... Processing power doesn't mean more intelligent, unfortunately. I think we will need far more artificially intelligent "programs" to be written before we can utilize processing power in the pursuit of this feature.

Well gee, while you're at it, why don't you time travel and get the AI technology. We all know that in sci-fi anime, they have perfect AI technology. Well, that and Dragon Ball Z/GT. But hey, I want to see this feature too! XD

a-c-a-a loses the game of logic.

Yeah but it has a lot of influence on the amount of time it would take to do such a thing. We wouldn't want to wait more than a few seconds for it to happen when loading up a game, now would we. :p

It's impossible. Every game stores them differently.

He knows...it was a combination of joke and sarcasm.
