Castlevania: Rondo of Blood English translation
悪魔城ドラキュラX 血の輪廻 · Akumajou Dracula X: Chi no Rondo
A fan patch that turns the original PC Engine CD Rondo of Blood into an English game, voiced with Konami's later official English dub.
What's translated
The patch translates the PC Engine CD version of the game: the subtitles of the opening, the signs, the ferryman's lines, the stage title cards and the title screen, which now reads Castlevania: Rondo of Blood. The voiced cutscenes are re-dubbed with the English voice track Konami recorded for the PSP remake collection, and the opening narration is swapped for the newer one as well (the patcher keeps the old track so you can put it back). Only small grunts stay in Japanese. The end credits were not hacked into the game; their translation is in the readme instead.
Credits
The project started in 2004 under cubanraul, who did the early text and audio hacking with translation help from pemdawg, then stalled for years. Burnt Lasagna restarted it in 2011, fitted the English dub into the cutscenes and added the English stage cards, while tomaitheous handled the title screens, the subtitle and sign text routines and much of the remaining hacking. Several people contributed graphics.
Playing it
The patch comes with its own patcher and is applied to your own rip of the Japanese disc, following the readme on the project page, which also covers BIN/CUE rips.
