Translation PlayStation

Battle Konchuuden English translation

バトル昆虫伝 · Battle Konchūden

An AI-assisted English patch for Jaleco's Japan-only insect-battling strategy RPG on the PlayStation.

What's translated

The dialogue, the menus, the insect names, the encyclopedia entries and the interface graphics are in English. The Japanese voice acting, the logos and some decorative artwork were kept as they are. This build also turns the in-game dates into English.

Status

Krollekop played the main story to the ending credits in an emulator and ran automated checks on the patch. A few parts have not been fully tested yet: the later stages of the secret mode, some item effects in Story Mode and the optional PocketStation minigame. The author says the work leaned heavily on AI tools, both for the reverse engineering and the translation.
