Ganbare Pennant Race! English translation

がんばれペナントレース!

An English patch for Konami's Famicom baseball game Ganbare Pennant Race! that covers the player names, menus, in-game lines and Japanese graphics.

What's translated

Baseball is easy to play in any language, but the rosters and menus of Ganbare Pennant Race! are all in Japanese. This patch translates the player names, the menus, the graphics that carry Japanese text and the basic lines the game shows during play.

What's left

The password screens were not translated. The patch's makers suggest using save states instead of passwords to keep a season going, which most emulators handle without trouble.

Playing it

The version number is 0.98, so expect the odd leftover. Apply the patch to your own copy of the Japanese cartridge, following the instructions on the romhack.ing page, where the creators are credited.
