Translation Dreamcast

Boku, Doraemon English translation

ぼく ドラえもん · Boku Doraemon

An AI-assisted English patch for the Japan-only Dreamcast game Boku, Doraemon, with all 76 story scenes translated and reworked for more natural dialogue in version 1.1.

What's translated

cpc translated the whole script into English, including the menus, minigame instructions and the title screen. Version 1.1 is the third pass over all 76 scenes, now covering the opening scene too, with fixes to punctuation and the font. The only thing left in Japanese is the small month sign next to the date on the main screen, which doesn't affect play. The same release also offers a Catalan version.

About the translation

The creator says openly that the translation was made with AI help and without a fluent Japanese speaker, so expect some rough spots. Bug and typo reports are welcome on the project's GitHub page.

Playing it

The patch is applied to your own disc image of the Japanese game. A patch for the common disc formats is provided along with a separate one for CDI images; follow the instructions on cpc's GitHub page, which also name the exact dump each patch expects.
