Update By: Hiei-

Since 2006 (release date of the last patch) and the drop of the project by the original project leader, the hack has been completely redone and now, the game can be fully played (following the original story) in English.

It's still a beta patch and a final version will be published later. More details about it can be found in the readme.

The archive contains two patches, one with the English anime names and one with the English manga names to please everyone.

(As the old project page has been updated with the new patch rather than creating a new one, this news is mainly to give a bit of visibility to the new patch, as most people might not notice it without a news).

We hope you enjoy it!

I thought the images were still not okay in the project page, but there are. It was because of the browser cache, in fact.

This is a bit odd, but I seem to be unable to beat the very first battle against Pteranodon. I know how the battle system works, I keep successfully defending and attacking him but he just doesn't stay down. It has been many years since I played this in it's original state, but I don't think he took this many hits to bring down. I'm using bsnes+ 0.73+3a and the anime translation. Anyone else having the same issue?

And Happy New Year for everyone here!

You need increase Goku's power.
Just hold L & R in battle.

Thank you! Ah, this failing memory of mine...

[Hiei-]

Yeah, the power of your attack depend of how much the power value is raised.

If you keep attacking without raising it, your character will be slower and his attack power will be greatly reduced.

By the way, I forgot to include it in the readme but Zsnes 1.51 (dunno about older versions) doesn't emulate the game properly (though it's playable). In the second half of the game, the characters portrait often glitch and to fix it, it require to go in the option menu (START) then leave it. I guess it's a VRAM emulation problem (as it also happen with the japanese version and when I was young, I had the original game and never got this problem).

So yeah, I recommend to use other emulators (Higan/Bsnes, and maybe Snes9x, though I haven't fully tested the game on this last one).

Thanks, just noticed a typo thanks to your screenshot! It should be "Urgh!" and not "Ugh!"

Holy crap, I never thought this game's translation would be finished. Good work Hiei!

Yeah, it's normal. I wrote in the readme those texts were not translated (for now, I only translated a part of those texts, the useful ones, those which give hints).

This is very nice. Thank you for all of your effort on this project!!

A final version with better (manual) line-breaks, and translating the few remaining texts (even if there are completely useless, they should be translated).

Except that, I don't have any plans for other games for now (except I'm helping someone who want to redo the translation of Super Gokuuden 2 but I just wrote him dump/insert scripts for the texts).

Gotta be honest, I hate that Square/Enix font when it's used outside of the original games.  It's in so many hacks...!

That aside, this is pretty darn exciting!  I'm not sure I even knew this game had a WiP translation, so seeing that it got a full translation is just amazing to me!

[Hiei-]

I can be wrong but from what I remember, I extracted it from Secret of Mana, which is another game I worked on (french retranslation).

I didn't know it was so much used in english translations. 

[KingMike]

The font is "Chicago", the default font on old ('80s and '90s) Macintoshes.

Secret of Evermore used that font, but if you say Secret of Mana, then you probably mean FuSoYa's rewrite.

[Hiei-]

Yeah, I guess. It's so old I forgot

Personally I think it looks nice and most attempts to make a "better" font that I have seen looks ugly to me, also other companies used that font back in the day other than Square and Enix, which I will also add were separate rival companies at the time, so it pretty ridiculous to act as if it's a sin for anyone to use it for games by other companies. It's not like it's some sort of fancy special font in the first place, it's just a simple nice looking font, and I'm pretty sure that's exactly the reason so many people use it. In other words, calm down.
