Dual Orb: Seireiju Densetsu English translation
デュアルオーブ 聖霊珠伝説 · Dual Orb: Seirei Tama Densetsu
A complete, AI-assisted English translation of I'MAX's 1993 Super Famicom RPG, with a variable-width font and redrawn battle buttons.
What's translated
Everything a player reads is now in English: the dialogue, the opening text crawl and the story-so-far pages, menus, items, spells, monsters, place names, shops and battle messages. The battle buttons were redrawn as ATTACK, AUTO and FLEE, the name entry screen has an English letter chart, and the ending staff roll is translated too. A variable-width font replaces the Japanese text, and the game is expanded to make room for the longer script.
The translator credits AI assistance (Claude) for much of the work, so some phrasing may feel mechanical; bug reports are welcome on the project page.
Recent fixes
Since the first release in late October the patch has gone through several quick updates fixing garbled map tiles after battles, menu cursor glitches and description boxes. Version 1.5 cleans up the treasure-box casino game and translates the hotel signs in Gold City.
Playing it
Patch your own copy of the Japanese cartridge following the creator's instructions, and start from a fresh boot: save states made with the Japanese game won't work with the English text engine.
