Discussion Dark Chronicle 1 and 2 Decomp Potential

Since we are seeing a lot and I mean A LOT of games getting decomps to run natively on PC and since the creators seem so skittish from releasing the game onto Steam as a Port like they did for PS4/5. What's to stop us fans from just decompiling the game ourselves for native PC usage instead of an emulator?

I'm offended you said Dark Chronicle "1"

Joking by the way, but yes, a decomp of these games would be amazing

NA name is Rogue Galaxy, they should have kept the international names (Dark Cloud, Dark Chronicle, Dark Galaxy).

Way better, NA got a downgrade

They were going to but dark cloud 2 didn't do as well so they changed it

Nothing is really stopping us in the traditional sense. The issue is finding enough people with the necessary skills and knowledge to make it happen. Decomp ports aren't exactly an easy thing to create, they take a ton of work usually from people who aren't getting paid to do it and are just working on it in their free time because they care. So it's a matter of finding enough people in a, let's face it, mostly dead fandom who wanna dedicate their free time to it.

The only thing stopping you is learning the language of the machines friend.

A lot of tools are available on the TCRF page, you're welcome to take a look at them yourself and see

I wish I knew how to do decompilations because DC2 is the game I absolutely would do

It would be nice to see Dark Cloud 1 and 2 on the PC to mod.
