Through rigorous testing of 3 games that never got localizations or fan translations (Tokimeki Memorial 2, Sakura Wars 2 &amp; Boku No Natsuyasami 2), we will see how well Retroarch and ZTranslate\u2019s AI Translator works for the average player. We will also discuss the ways in which this technology could one day be used in more formal localisations by professional teams, and wel will come to understand the nuances of the AI debate.<\/p>\n<p>#AI #FanTranslation #Emulation.<\/p>\n<p>Please like this video, comment &amp; subscribe.
