Wow, this is one you'd really have thought was out there a long time ago. Good find.

Surprised it took so long considering how legendary game is

I figure Ys still being somewhat niche even after its growth over the years coupled with Ys 1 having many other translated versions made it fairly low priority for most people. PC 88 is a growing platform though with more and more eyes on it!

according to the description on the romhacking site he finished it 6 years ago but just never released it... o.O

I've already finished the game once (the EGG Console Ys I PC-88 port) on the Switch, I was bummed that they didn't just translate the menus at least but I'm glad that there's finally one.

Now the question would be: how do I properly emulate that hardware?

I've found Ys I PC-88 online with disk A and disk B but I cannot patch them...

The page says

DAT Information
Full translation of the original version of Ys 1. Patch onto the following disks:

• Ys (Disk A).d88 (b838e8767516ffaa5b469bb9e319f5a5)
• Ys (Disk B).d88 (f73ecb4451453a45adb14f99c82decf3)
• Ys (User disk).d88 (6dc0de1413da89f195b7362b5a750a7c)

You may not need to do the user disk, actually... But a patch is included just because.

Or alternatively (and better tested):

• ys1_b.d88 (04354347da3c872fb52cd0cad6aad35e) (this is a combo disk image including all the disks together. Most of the development was based on this file)

The patcher says invalid checksum despite the file being called "Ys (1987)(Nihon Falcom)(Disk 1 of 2)(Disk A).d88" and "Ys (1987)(Nihon Falcom)(Disk 2 of 2)(Disk B).d88".

I also cannot find the combo disk image called "ys1_b.d88" either.
