Holy Diver English translation
ホーリー・ダイヴァー
Monaco's English translation of Irem's metal-themed Famicom platformer Holy Diver, which fans often pair with an easy mode and a few technical fixes.
What's translated
Monaco's patch, released in 2007, translates the game's story text and menus into English. It is complete and fully playable.
Optional extras
Other fans made separate patches that work alongside the translation. chronix's Easy Mode (2018) softens the game's punishing difficulty. MottZilla's MMC1 conversion (2012) makes the special powers work properly and cuts down on slowdown, and Equidies' input fix (2023) cleans up how button presses are read. They are separate releases on their own pages.
Credits
