Digital Monster: D-Project English translation
デジタルモンスター ディープロジェクト · Digimon D-Project
An AI-made English patch for the Japan-only WonderSwan Color Digimon game D-Project, using the English dub's Digimon names throughout.
What's translated
The story script from the hacked opening to the ending, the field and status menus, the Egg Machine and Item Machine, link menus, the staff roll and battle messages are all in English. Name entry has an English keyboard. Digimon, eggs, items and techniques use the English dub names and level names (Rookie, Champion, Ultimate, Mega), with DNA Digivolution for Jogress, and area names follow DigiKidult's English guide to the game, which the creator recommends keeping open for egg codes and Digivolution requirements.
How it was made
mariovirgili says the translation and ROM hacking were done entirely by AI (Claude) as a personal project. Both of the game's text engines got a new variable-width font. The battle display only fits short names, so some long Digimon names are abbreviated there; the link features were not tested on real hardware, and the game has not yet been played to the end.
