Translation NES / Famicom

Hana no Star Kaidou English translation

花のスター街道 · Flowering Star Highway

Pluvius of GAFF Translations translates the little Japanese left in Victor's pop-star Famicom game and offers a second patch that cleans up its famously broken English.

Two patches

Hana no Star Kaidou already had most of its text in English, just not very good English. Pluvius of GAFF Translations made two versions:

  • a faithful patch that only translates the few Japanese lines and leaves the original wording alone, for purists;
  • a full patch that also rewrites the game's awkward English so it reads naturally.

The title screen gains the English name Flowering Star Highway.

Playing it

The patches are for the Japanese Famicom release. Apply the one you prefer to your own copy of the game following the instructions on the translation's romhack.ing page.
