Chuuka Taisen English translation
中華大仙 · Cloud Master · Chuka Taisen
Stardust Crusaders' complete English patch for the Famicom version of Taito's cloud-riding shooter, a fresh take that replaces an older, error-filled translation.
About the patch
This is a complete English translation of the Famicom release of Chuuka Taisen, better known as Cloud Master. Pennywise handled the hacking, aishsha translated the script and DvD redrew the graphics, with the release put out under the Stardust Crusaders banner in January 2012.
An English patch for the game already existed, but the team found it full of mistranslations and missing a hidden ending, so they redid the whole thing from scratch.
What's translated
The hermit's messages between stages, the shop where you pick special arts, round names and the endings, including the secret one, are all in English, along with the translated on-screen graphics.
Playing it
It's a tough shooter, and the team's readme points out a hidden option menu with a power boost for anyone who wants an easier time. Apply the patch to your own copy of the Japanese Famicom cartridge, following the instructions on the project page.
