Rm2k and Rm2k3 were Japanese only releases. There was never an official translation. Any english releases/translations are entirely illegal.

So, what, he's going to purchase the Japanese version, then illegally convert it to English? That'd be against the EULA, and thus negate the purpose of purchasing the license..  So that would be the answer to his question. Alternatively, he can always use royalty free resources for his "cheap as chip sets" from Charas..

i do not know where you got converting it to english. all he needs is a translation of the EULA.

Oh.. well...

The Japanese EULA states the graphics cannot be used outside a legal copy of RM2k3 or RM2k.

Well, not legally.  Listen, Wyatt, if you're using an English version of RM2/3 you're already using a pirate program, so lily-livered worries about item legality should go by the board.

I'm not using rm2k3, I want to know about the GRAPHICS, purely the graphics.

but thank you for your replies anyway

lol @ shitstorm (@assuming I'm using an english translation when I specifically said BUYING THE SOFTWARE, anyway)

This is from the official RMVX FAQ, and I imagine its the same for all their makers.
