Arcade Gears Vol. 1: Pu·Li·Ru·La English translation

AG アーケード・ギアーズ プリルラ · Pu·Li·Ru·La

KoolFiller's English patch for the Saturn port of Pu·Li·Ru·La offers either the arcade's own quirky English script or a cleaner fan retranslation, plus unlocked options and graphical fixes.

Two versions

The patch comes in two flavours. One restores the English script of the arcade's World release exactly as it was, odd grammar and all. The other uses DaVince21's 2015 retranslation, which also fixes a misspelled warning on the notice screen. The Options menu and the backup screen, which neither script covered, were translated by KoolFiller with the help of guides and walkthroughs.

Other changes

Both versions unlock all hidden options and make the setting that lets both players choose their character save to backup like the others. They also fix the shaking shadows and reflections found on the arcade board and the original Saturn release, and some black strips in the backup screen background. Nothing is censored.

Playing it

The patch uses Derek Pascarella's patching kit and is applied to your own copy of the Japanese disc, following the instructions on KoolFiller's SegaXtreme page.
