I saw your post yes. But unfortunately due to work and other responsibilities I just do not have the time to make patches as frequently anymore...more so I'm not at the computer as much. Most of the posting I do these days, if any will be on my phone to answer questions on the rare occasion (like now). I apologize if that is a bit of a disappointment and maybe that'll change eventually but for the foreseeable future I'm just swamped with other stuff.
If you are open to creating a patch yourself for the game you requested it's very doable and it's good to learn it in cases where I haven't made one or can't get around to it. If you have a Windows based PC google and download the program "Lunar IPS". Download the japanese and american rom of the game you're requesting. Remove the headers on both using a program like SNES rom utility if needed and use Lunar IPS to create a patch from the japanese rom to the american rom. It's good to go. If you need more details there's plenty of youtube and written tutorials out there.
In regards to the date change if it helps any the only thing that was changed was the removal of Kaijuu Monogatari as the translated game does not actually function on the Retron 5 or Retro Freak. Beyond that it's doubtful there'll be an updated archive anytime soon unless I start doing patches more regularly. The archive was more for the purpose of collecting the stuff i've done as a last final thing so people will have it for ease of use, the fact that nintendo published game patches keep getting removed, and that maybe someone else will want to take over in my stead for requests that still come in. It wasn't originally meant to be updated consistently honestly.
