Tobal 2 English Text Fix
トバル2
VincentNL reworks the English Tobal 2 patch to use half-width letters, so the text is denser and easier to read, and adds English training graphics and a bug fix.
What it changes
The older English translation of Tobal 2 squeezes Latin letters into full-width Japanese character cells, which leaves wide gaps and cramped windows. This hack adds new code so the game draws half-width text, fitting more on screen and reading much more cleanly. It also:
- shifts character names on the selection screen so they line up,
- adds new pointers so translated lines can be longer,
- adjusts the menu option text,
- replaces the Training mode interface graphics with English ones,
- removes a one-frame debug flash left in Training mode by the original developers.
The translation itself is still the work of Infinite Lupine Translations and r4dius (version 1.01b); this patch builds on it.
