Translation Game Boy

Dragon Ball Z: Goku Hishōden English translation

ドラゴンボールZ 悟空飛翔伝 · Dragon Ball Z: Gokuu Hishouden

Kazetrigger's English translation of the first handheld Dragon Ball RPG, using the official English names and terms, now at version 1.3 with a round of script and graphics fixes.

What's translated

Kazetrigger's patch puts the Game Boy RPG into English, following the official English localisations for character names and terminology. The game's subtitle is rendered as "Goku's Soaring Adventure". Much of the game's text and graphics is stored with a custom compression scheme, which was the main technical hurdle of the project.

Version 1.3

The latest update brings many translation and spelling corrections, translates the tournament victory graphics, fixes the password screen and removes a bug that left old tiles on screen after it was cleared.

Playing it

Apply the patch to your own copy of the Japanese cartridge, following the instructions on the release page. The translator is also working on the sequel, Goku Gekitōden.
