As you've probably heard, romhacking.net has imploded. At least, that's what I've heard; the site still seems to be up as of this writing, but the claim I read most recently is that downloads and new patches are not going to be hosted. The current content seems to consist of brief news articles about patch releases combined with "Relevant Link"s. Someone at what remains of the site threw its entire content up on archive.org, but, um, a) it's an 11.7-gig download, b) it's not getting rave reviews for its organization, and c) there's a rash of user complaints about trojans that, er, are not being addressed in a reassuring manner ("if you don't have the stomach to handle false positives and MAYBE a malicious file or two").

But at least one patch is safe: a kind soul contacted me offering to house the Phantasy Star III retranslation patch put together by romhacker Peaches with help from lory1990. It is up on FlamePurge's page!

This reminds me, actually, that I haven't looked at the PSIII patch to see if the script was edited. It'd be a small thing, as my script files are here. ROM script editing is an issue that's been on my mind as of late.
