The needs of the dungeon master are different though. This post focuses on the needs of a game master playing a game similar to Dungeons and Dragons (most any addition), or Pathfinder. While the types and numbers of dice may differ for other systems, the concepts all hold true.

This most often occurs on Japanese RPGs that were released prior to Final Fantasy VII. Before that game's breakout success, American publishers shied away from Japanese RPGs because of their relatively poor sales compared to action games. In fact, the fan translation hobby largely began from the efforts to localize Final Fantasy V and Trials of Mana (then known to international audiences by its Japanese name, Seiken Densetsu 3), Square games that were heavily hyped as coming to the US, then mysteriously canceled. Some older RPGs were even re-translated due to the "quality" of the translations ranging from a mere "Blind Idiot" Translation to an outright Translation Train Wreck.

Licensed Games can also receive this treatment. Often, it takes years before an anime series is brought over and becomes popular in the West, while the Japanese games based on that series are seen as obsolete by the distributors.

While no legal dispute over a fanmade patch has ever occurred, a handful of cease-and-desist orders have been issued regardless of any actual validity. Since ROM patches contain no assets from the original game and no derived assets that are viable without it, no likely basis for arguing infringement is known. The resulting translated ROMs themselves, of course, fall under the same rules as any other ROM dump if distributed (hence why ROM hacking sites generally only distribute patches, requiring players to find the original ROM elsewhere and use a patching program to actually use the patch).
