Mtool getting better compared with 1-2 years ago, but it's still bad if you ask me.Getting back into playing recently visual novels and RPG games, and what programs do you guys use for translating in the current era, I heard there some more brain-dead options now. Like Mtool? Maybe there are other options and tool that I'm not considering. Thank you.
What do you use? For me, any online program is non-viable. I used Atlas for years because of an older machine, but now I use Sugoi offline (see Internet Archive for periodic public releases) with GPU processing. Only for games though, it's not tenable for other things like manga due to CPU usage and poor results.Getting back into playing recently visual novels and RPG games, and what programs do you guys use for translating in the current era, I heard there some more brain-dead options now.

As long as it is brain dead easy, I don't mind, lol. I am running on windows 7 so my options are limited. I do have a newer machine but it is for work.Mtool getting better compared with 1-2 years ago, but it's still bad if you ask me.
I use the good old Textractor. But like you I have an older machine, I do not know how old yours is, but mine is Windows 7. I have heard of Sugoi, but I would be shocked if it worked on my machine. I am hopeful though.What do you use? For me, any online program is non-viable.

For hooking it's mostly the tried and true:
Luna is extremely good for hard to hook games. It seemed unstable at first but either that got fixed, was related to its translation engine, or specific to certain games. For my current setup, I cannot recall the last time I had problems with it.
- Textractor x86 & x64
- RPG Maker - Text hooker program (from ULMF?) for MV & MZ derivative
- Luna Translator - hooking mode (non-translation) only
- XUnity Auto Translator
Luna Translator can both hook and translate, even though I only use it for the former.I use the good old Textractor. But like you I have an older machine, I do not know how old yours is, but mine is Windows 7. I have heard of Sugoi, but I would be shocked if it worked on my machine. I am hopeful though.
Thank you for the Luna and Xunity recommendation, does Luna translate in its own software or would I have to use textractor? Thank you
Thank you for such detailed help! One more question, I also want to try my hand at RPG maker games. What method do you best recommend for it? I did find the ULMF thread, but not to lie, I don't particularly want to parse through about 20 pages to troubleshoot to see what works and doesn't in 2026. Do you have a quick rundown of a decent setup/steps to getting things working and translating, or do I have to just get down and read and trial and error. Would Textractor work for RPGmaker games too?Luna Translator can both hook and translate, even though I only use it for the former.
I don't know whether Windows 7 will work but I wish you well. My prior eroge-only laptop was ~12 years old with Windows 8.1 before dying, and its replacement is a slightly beat up, ~6 years old Windows 10 with dedicated Nvidia GPU, which prompted me to look for a more modern solution.
What a coincidence! I just post about it few days ago!
This is the ULMF thread, everything relevant for RPG Maker MV is in the 1st post including easy to read instructions. Unpacking is not needed on most downloaded.Thank you for such detailed help!

I might also pony up some money and grab a windows 10 machine for eroge.
Do you know if Luna Translator works for RPGmaker?
edit: doing some digging and it seems both textractor and luna can work for RPGmaker games.
Thank you. This was a very helpful post. Hopefully I do not run into any problems with the RPGmaker games, but if I do, I might ask you for help.

Latest framework version is "MVZ" IIRC, which has a custom made EXE (currently last post in the thread) by 1 of the users that does/uses the same content as the MV patch except it accounts for certain folder structure differences.
I recommend you and anyone else learn how to use the native text hooker as it may be faster than Luna and is accompanied by an optional cheat menu, which is useful to increase gold or lower enemy health even for translated games. (If the game is already translated, I get rid of the text hooker plugin and the retain the cheat menu.)
The file "www\js\plugins.js" is edited to refer to some resources in "www\js\plugins\" folder. If you have questions, they're probably already answered by the original author and guide, and can also likely be easily addressed by AI.
Luna probably uses the same code for RPGM. The difference between the 2 is that Luna is multi-purpose by design, and is a God send for certain difficult engines like WolfRPG that have poor alternatives (mainly in hooking, but also in UI in the case of an extremely niche program whose name I forget). It's an excellent aggregator, but I always use Textractor as my main hooker, RPGM-specific one for that platform, and fallback to Luna if everything else fails.
Nice, it's long time since I see mature female character.The trial version is now available on the website and the release date is set for March 20th.
can you reup the link? and did you got more uncensored versionsI've been meaning to do various reviews for months now, but haven't been able to muster the enthusiasm for various reasons. We shall see if that changes. Today, I will touch upon manga.
Forlorn Hope has been scanlating 3 of my most actively followed works, in order of favoritism:
In terms of active "content", it's Guilty Circle -> Chijou 100-kai -> GraPara!
Guilty Circle - A work where the male protagonist, upon entering college, signs up with an infamous club in order to lose his virginity. Female lead has also joined in order to uncover what happened her to missing elder sister, and will do anything to achieve her means. I found the first arc fascinating but the second one a bit of a let down, but overall it's a must read. Apparently volumes 19 & 20 are worse and we'll see if it rebounds from there.
GraPara! - From Katsura Airi, the mangaka of Karami Zakari (hentai) -- about a male lead who likes to watch, which somehow got a non-hentai version with more or less the same ending supposedly -- comes a story about gravure and idols with the MC become a manager. Although a more straightforward, typical story I'd say it's better executed than Guilty Circle, albeit with far less material relevant to this thread. It's a slow burn. A bit too slow...I suggest waiting another year at least before reading, but overall it's a better "work" and the translator is caught up.
Chijou 100-kai aka One Hundred Storey Tower is a self-published work (available on Pixiv's booth.pm) that is more compelling than the earlier mentioned works and has plenty of body that'll simply escalate as more chapters are scanlated (currently 31). It's further behind, but any chapter can vary from 35-200+ pages. This is the most exciting work, but unfortunately the author will likely die before it can be fully recognized to its full potential.
I recommend not reading yet to allow more chapters to be translated about this mysterious tower, competitors who are trying to climb it for unknown reasons, various athletic & mental challenges, an MC who has memory loss but another female claims to know him, past lost friends, and an antagonist willing to lay hands on the FL. Plenty of hints and intentionally misleading hints (false flags) abound. Again, it's a great work but I suggest allowing the translator to catch up further.
Eros Survival is stuck in translation hiatus (previously: JUM) for over 5 years now, but I hope it is eventually resumed by someone. It's comedically themed about couples aiming to win a $1 million theme show involving erotic challenges. The MC and FL barely know each other, but have paired up due to the FL scouting the MC for his perverseness. The MC, alas, fails in every other topic and the female in particular has to tolerate sexually extreme situations. The premise is absolutely perfect.
...and there's more! I'll mention others once I've either read them more fully, or more chapters are translated, if warranted. I strongly recommend these 3 (4) works, and have started to purchase volumes online for all of them. If interested, you can support the artists via various online retailers including Compio, Booth.pm, Fanza, and more.
Guilty Circle and GraPara! enclosed, there may be minor errors but you can catch up to the chapters on MangaDex, Manga Buddy, and equivalent if preferred. I went with fan uncensored versions where possible, included covers, and the very, very latest may not be tankouban versions (but those may be available from the scanlater later). Enjoy.

Love STK works too! i wish i know any tools that could hook text from audio too.Hello, are there any ways or tools that translate ASMR works automatically? for example this work:

I'm afraid learning Japanese is the only solution now haha. But ASMR usually doesn't use hard level words, N3 listener could understand 80% of it.I don't know about this specific work but:
Short answer: no
Long answer: There are some AI tools you can use to translate audio to text or even generate subtitles files for them but it's far from perfect and involve some work and know-how on top of the funny results MTLs produce.
Ideally the dev have the script (台本) included and you can MTL that from there but it's not always the case.
FinallyThe new Heiantei game is now available
