Dezaemon 2 Special Edition
デザエモン2
An English interface for the Saturn shoot-'em-up maker Dezaemon 2, bundled with a whole library of fan-made user games you can launch straight from the disc.
What's new
This Special Edition gathers every user game from the Dezaemon 2 save managers on the disc itself: put the cursor on the user slot, flip through the library with the shoulder buttons and launch the one you want, which is also loaded into the user slot for editing. The sample game slots are reshuffled too: the first now starts Hakozaki Nekko no Daibouken, an extra game Athena released on a magazine demo disc, followed by the formerly hidden Elfin and Vexsarsion, while the original samples become the hidden ones. The title logo carries a Special Edition badge and the attract mode now cycles through demos of all six main games.
What's translated
The whole game-making interface is in English. The creator translated it with AI assistance, using the official manual as a reference; the sample games themselves are left untranslated. An AI-assisted English version of the manual comes with the patch.
Playing it
Apply the patch to your own copy of the Japanese disc with the included patching kit, following the creator's instructions.
