What's translated

All the Japanese text of the Saturn release is in English, based on the script of the later PSP version of the game.

What's new

The "Ultimate" patch also works on the port itself: transparency effects that the Saturn lost are back, some sprites have their original proportions, the black bars at the top of the screen are gone, loading is shorter, and videos and dialogue can be skipped. You can open the map directly, Richter's alternate costume is unlocked, there is a harder mode and the 4 MB RAM cartridge is supported.

Version 1.1

The February 2024 update raises the overall speed of the game, makes the hard mode deal double damage, shows the name of the current area in teleport rooms, restores more transparency and fixes several palette bugs.

Playing it

Apply the patch to your own copy of the Japanese Saturn disc, following the instructions on Meduza Team’s page. If you play on real hardware with the 8BitDo DIY controller kit, Derek Pascarella made a small extra patch that changes the map button combination so it works with that controller.
