Translation Dreamcast

Chaos Field English translation

カオスフィールド

Derek Pascarella's patch removes the last Japanese text from the Dreamcast release of MileStone's boss-rush shooter Chaos Field.

What's translated

The Japanese Dreamcast disc already held most of the game's English text and graphics, left unused. The patch switches that content on and translates the remainder, so the menus, tutorials, character selection and ending credits all read in English. The only Japanese left is the small subtitle under the logo, which just repeats the game's name.

Playing it

The patch comes in DCP format for Universal Dreamcast Patcher, also by Derek Pascarella, which accepts either a GDI or a CUE disc image. Apply it to your own copy of the game following the instructions on the project page.
