I made the mp3 into an mp4 for Mastodon like this:
convert -size 160x90 xc:#000000 black.png
ffmpeg -loop 1 -i black.png -i song.mp3 -c:v libx264 -tune stillimage -c:a aac -strict experimental -b:a 192k -pix_fmt yuv420p -shortest song.mp4
Do not ask me what most of the ffmpeg line does. Like most ffmpeg use, it is black magic, understood only by ancient priests.
Should have posted this earlier: ~8 minute demo of Lunar: Silver Star Story in English for Saturn! Features full English cutscenes, but no English text (it's not quite ready to demo yet). https://youtu.be/0olV34Mdx9s

Huh... I didn't realize Skies of Arcadia was announced for PC back in 2004. Guess that never happened. https://www.rpgamer.com/news/Q1-2004/010204a.html

A game I'd really love to translate is Game Arts's Urusei Yatsura for Mega CD, but the lack of in-game subtitles makes it pretty much a nonstarter. :/ At least not until my hacking skills get way better, anyway. https://awoo.space/media/Vo2lAdTFyLo1gVY1BIA https://awoo.space/media/ODnyRF24ogFhahRxx90 https://awoo.space/media/xAbdNB0nbNz5YT5bECg https://awoo.space/media/F4bSKYrIOGu5qoP78tQ
These portraits are stored as 8-bit tiles, easy enough to interpret. This is my attempt at reading the separate palette file. It looks like it's a 15-bit palette in a very simple file, just two bytes per colour index with no header or anything else.
The cafe is playing Pacific?! It makes very good cafe music but it’s so obscure I’m shocked. It’s an album of gentle fusion jazz by Tatsuro Yamashita, Ryuichi Sakamoto and others https://youtu.be/dSCwoYcp0IY
