Delisoba Deluxe English translation
デリソバ・デラックス · DeriSoba Derakkusu
An English patch for the Saturn's famously scarce soba-delivery racer, translating its menus, HUD and the built-in course editor.
What's translated
Exxistance's patch replaces the Japanese text you meet while playing: the options and pause menus are in English, the road HUD uses new English font tiles, and every screen of the hidden-in-plain-sight map editor (block types, commands, the edit menu) can now be read. The title screen and the options background were redrawn so the English fits the original look.
There is not much story text in a game like this, so the patch is small, but it makes the course editor usable for people who don't read Japanese, which was the main barrier.
Playing it
The patch is applied to your own copy of the Japanese disc, following the instructions on the creator's GitHub page: it comes both as a Sega Saturn Patcher file and as an xdelta patch for the first data track. It runs on real hardware or in a Saturn emulator.
