Textractor kinda worked at times for me after another google api change, but had to use Bing for last four games or so. Good to return back to Google.

Draculius, Jingai Makyou, probably some of Soleil series.

I tried to make Hook Codes at least couple times with the tutorial, but never succeeded. Fortunately, hook databases had all the hooks I ever needed. Agth thread at old hongfire couple times also helped me with .bat files to make phrases be drawn in correct order for games like Kizuato and Shizuku. If I can't find proper text thread, I just use Cheat Engine + HookAnyText. It does not require any hooks, you basically just find and select memory piece where required text refreshes, and it works for at least for couple hours before Java hangs it all.

Definitely did not try anything with tyrano script. Can only say that a lot of engines were added to Textractor in later versions. The most trouble I had were Java games like Tsui no Sora that perfectly attached to ITHVNR though. For the toughest nuts to crack I apply Cheat Engine + HookAnyText, works like a charm, but can't be used on general basis due to the fact that HAT works on Java and freezes every couple hours.

Duplicate words and sentences only sometimes showed up for me with Repetition Filter 1. As soon as I changed it for Repetition Filter 2, never had problems ever again. This extension approach is very flexible.

Basically, machine translators are Google and Bing. As for the tools, they differ mostly by support of Google/Bing/Dictionaries. Pretty much every mentioned program extracts text threads well or supports hook addition. It's good that there is choice. Older OS only support older tools while weak netbooks are limited with less resource-dependent tools. I recommend Textractor just because it's a single tool for everything and I don't want to explain nuances to everyone when I can just say "Textractor" and maybe give a link to the guide.

Cheat Engine + HAT ("Hook Any Text" script published at github) worked great for me. As for emulator, it does not really matter, I tested it on all the popular PS1 emulators of different versions with the same success. I prefer using emulator xebra because it's the most precise one managing to launch everything while popular emulators failed to launch some 20% of visual novels. There are cases when there is no renewable thread, just a wall of text. At rare cases no threads are found at all. I experienced some 2/3 of success cases.

WordPress is too simplistic to my liking. Blogger is a pain with all the styles constantly breaking. Not sure about this third option's policy, but I encourage to check fc2 blogging space. http://retrogamedaisuki.blog.fc2.com/ looks really great to me even though he had to restart his blog twice just because of a little mistake in choosing the initial template.

Can't find r192 build at hongfire or github. Any insights on its location?

Server has been down for at least two years since developer disappeared. But everyone is so tired of these VNR same questions that these threads are ignored usually.

Have you heard of Solaris? My very loose criteria for classics is: timeless, innovative/evocative, genre transcending/defining and multi-layered. You can pick it up over and over again and still get something more out of it. It's not gimmicky and reliant on crutches or pandering. To me at least, Lord of The Rings is classic, Game of Thrones is not. Farenheit 451 is classic, Divergent is not.
There are very few games corresponding this criteria. Most of them are one time thing. Here are the ones I can return to over the years discovering new layer of depth each time:
DESIRE - Haitoku no Rasen
Eve: Burst Error
Kuro no Danshou: The Literary Fragment
Es no Houteishiki
Kono Yo no Hate de Koi o Utau Shoujo YU-NO
Canaan ~Yakusoku no Chi~
EVE: The Lost One
luv wave
One ~Kagayaku Kisetsu e~
Kazeoto, Chirin
EVE Zero
Nijuuei
Eve: The Fatal Attraction
Kusarihime ~Euthanasia~
Interlude
Cross†Channel

Tamaki in Interlude has both friendship and romance route.

I'm collecting visual novel openings and listening to them as background sound all the free time I have, so forgive me for having so many favorites in year 2002 alone:
-
I love MT
-
Cross†Channel is the best healing English visual novel I ever read.
Other notable variants to create good memories are Eve: Burst Error and Moon.

It is all on the site readable just fine but I guess complex puzzlers just can't read it...
Why are you trying to make a fool of yourself so diligently? Try finding https://vndb.org/v433 , smartass. That's just ONE example, but how would you know, you're just a regular troll who can't do anything worthwhile.

You just pick the first character from the game name and pick that from category ???
Just taking VNDB first character reading takes me astray in at least 50% of the time. Google search finds it at completely different sound category. Also doujin circles belong to different than usual sounds.

I never understood the principle sagaoz.net uses to sort the titles, but googling "XXX sagaoz.net" always did the trick for me.
I hope to see a video about egono.com one day as it's the site that completely changed my visual novel experience. I dare to say it's more important than vndb and EGS altogether and in dare need of popularizing as such.

I'm not the target audience since I'm moving in a too crazy tempo with reading atm to dissect separate sentences, but I really cherish for this undertaking. I already see increased interest towards untranslated visual novels thanks to videos like this one.

If ITH/ITHVNR does not find the thread, hongfire AGTH thread is the one that helped me a lot of times as it has lots of hcodes on those hundreds of pages.
Textractor seems to have built-in manual hook search. Tutorial here https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eecEOacF6mw
I myself use Hook Any Text to find threads https://mx-futhark.github.io/hook-any-text/

I like necroposting here. It's not rare that some irrelevant post from 2012 or so gets a new life.
There actually used to be chat here, and it only had to go after some recent Fuwapocalypse initiated by mandatory php upgrade. If Tay is poked long enough, reestablishing it might be possible.

Reddit drives me mad as it's not individualistic enough. Flairs are repeatable, and posts have to get lost in megathreads. New topics get buried in news and useless steam sales in just one day. It all reminds a busy anthill.
Fuwa is for punks of visual novels. We hardly ever agree on anything, and just as punks, we're not dead despite our golden days long gone.

Google was always best in comparison to Bing. Baidu is just old generation word-to-word translator.
