Dragon Knight English translation
ドラゴンナイト
BabaJeanmel's patch cleans up Retronomicon's old machine-translated English version of Elf's first Dragon Knight, fixing display problems, untranslated lines and broken files.
What it is
Retronomicon's English version of Dragon Knight was a machine translation that only circulated as a pre-patched game, with plenty of display bugs. BabaJeanmel reworked it into a proper patch for your own disk images. The script itself has not been edited or retranslated, so it still reads as a machine translation.
What's fixed
- The game is converted to a hard disk image, with the bonus content reachable at boot.
- All animations are restored.
- Odd font switches, broken line breaks, alignment problems and garbled characters are fixed throughout, and the angle brackets used in the old text are replaced with the intended square brackets.
- A few strings that were never translated now are.
- Every script file can now be decompiled with tomyun's tools, which was not the case with the original release.
Playing it
Apply the patch to your own copy of the Japanese PC-98 game following the readme included with it. The game has explicit adult content. Credit goes to Retronomicon for the original translation and hacking, tomyun for hacking and BabaJeanmel for the fixes.
