if you're gettin strange char sets on your game, means that you DONT have the japanese cahr compatibility on, so, you better use somethin like AppLocale, or set up your windows in japanese recognition, so it can show u the japanese chars the right way.

about the story line ... i never stopped to pay attention to it, i just played one level after another and enjoyd the game, so you can do it too.

Which version are you talking about? If it's the GCN one, you might want to use a region switch mod instead of freeloader since the freeloader makes some games show some funny text (not sure if Shikigami no Shiro 2 is one of them, though). If it's the PC version, refer to the above post.

Sadly enough, that IS the "translation".

....oh wait, you DIDN'T mean the PS2 'Castle Shikigami 2" version........

It's the Gamecube version I'm playing.

Probably a problem with Freeloader. The best solution is to mod the GameCube with a region switch. Freeloader has text problems on some games. The save menus in Mr. Driller Drill Land have that messed up unreadable text too. Also, some games, including that Drill Land game I mentioned, have problems with saving with Freeloader too.

I would have gotten it on Dreamcast but my DC died a month ago But at least I can get Ikaruga/Chaos Feild on Gamecube.

There aren't a whole lot of Import cube games I want just the anime fighters (Naruto 3 rocks my ass) and the Shmups.

I can't believe no one has said it:

Dude, the text is completely, utterly meaningless, you aren't missing anything ('cept saving a few brain cells). Continue enjoying the game, and next time chose the option that lets you skip the worthless dialogue.

You live in Providence? I'm like right near you in Scituate.

Still...if a Game has a story I'd like to know it.

I know Ikaruga's incoherent storyline.

Um... the Gamecube version was never localized. I was being sarcastic when i referred to the XS Games PS2 version, perhaps you thought he meant the XS version as well? Either way, the game DOES have a decent story. We're talking about gobbledy gook symbols replacing Japanese characters, NOT THE SHITTY TRANSLATION JOB BY XS GAMES.

It got mysteriously cut, likely due to the game being risky in terms of profit.

I know about the gamecube version and also the XS games version. I sorta assumed that the XS version was the actual game text translated to english--because that story IS a waste of time.

If it is entirely made up and there's a whole different story, well then I am at a loss...

Indeed.

Minzoku translated some parts of Shikigami no Shiro 2 from the Japanese text and I was shocked at how close it was to the XS games translation. Seriously, I don't think the translation is as bad as it's made out to be. I wouldn't go as far to say it's a good translation, but, oddly enough, much of it seems to a translation of the original text rather than a localization. I am wondering if Roger Buster's story was altered since it's pretty wacked out, though.

Anyway, from what I could make out of the story, the main characters are out to stop this entity called the "world order" or something like that. Many of the bosses are spirits controlled by the entity working against their will.

Roger Buster is which one?

DC version has slowdown, Cube version has none. That was the big difference when I last played 'em side by side. There may be some modes or something in the GC that aren't in the DC, but I wouldn't know. It's been a long while.

Actually, strangely enough, despite being a Naomi port, the GCN version was the first version released. The DC version actually has the same extras that made it to the PS2 version. The GCN version is lacking th extras of later home versions.

Don't you read gamefaqs or similar sites? That info can be easily found there. The extras are pictures for the art galleries (not sure if this is in the GCN one) and a special extra options menu to tweak the aspects of the game like game speed and bullet size (which isn't in the GCN version).

Roger Buster is the ninja. His original name was Roger Sasuke.

Which emulator? I was under the impression that only a handful of games were playable.
