Translation Dreamcast

Di Gi Charat Fantasy English translation

デ・ジ・キャラット ファンタジー

Derek Pascarella's port of gopicolo's PS2 English translation to the original Dreamcast Di Gi Charat Fantasy, with an English title screen, menus and name entry.

What's translated

All the story text comes from gopicolo's English translation of the PlayStation 2 version, Di Gi Charat Fantasy Excellent, kept intact; the Dreamcast release simply lacks the extra route the PS2 version added. Derek Pascarella handled the hacking for the Dreamcast, with graphics by monnekey and editing by Exxistance, gopicolo and Derek himself.

What's new on Dreamcast

The title screen menu uses a newly drawn English logo, the pause menu is translated, and a basic English name entry has been added. The font was refined, dialogue and history text were moved so lines no longer run off the screen, and the VMU save data, VMU icon and disc texture are in English too. The end credits stay in Japanese, since they are video files.

Playing it

Apply the patch to your own copy of the game following the instructions in the repository: there are versions for GDI images (for optical drive emulators and emulators) and for CDI images burned to CD-R. A completed save that unlocks the extras menu is also provided.
