Duel Masters: Birth of Super Dragon English translation
デュエルマスターズ ～邪封超龍転生～ · Duel Masters: Jafuu Chouryuu Tensei
An English patch by misty-dive for the Japanese Duel Masters PS2 game that covers the story, the interface and every one of the game's 677 cards.
What's translated
This patch turns the Japanese release of Duel Masters: Birth of Super Dragon into an English game. The story scenes and offline events are in English, and so is nearly every screen you touch: character select, the duel phases, the shop and its booster packs, the deck builder, deck statistics, options and records.
The biggest job was the cards. All 677 of them have English names, rules text and flavor text, and the full card art, thumbnails and small name labels were redrawn to match. Where a card was released in the West, the patch uses its official English wording, checked against community card data.
The old online features are left alone, since those services no longer exist.
Machine help
The author says AI tools helped translate part of the interface and story text, so expect some rough lines.
Version 1.3
The latest release is a stability update: it fixes a card whose text could hang the game, a freeze when leaving the shop, wide letter spacing in deck names and clipped turn-change text. The major systems have been checked, but nobody has played the whole game from start to finish yet, so bug reports are welcome on the project page.
Playing it
The patch is made for the Japanese release (SLPM-65882). Apply it to your own copy of the game following the instructions on misty-dive's GitHub page. Players on version 1.2 can use a small update patch instead of starting over.
