Translation Famicom Disk System

Ishidou English translation

石道

An English patch for the Famicom Disk System version of Ishido, the stone-matching puzzle game.

What it is

Ishidou is the Disk System edition of Ishido: The Way of Stones. You lay stones on a board so that every new piece matches the stones beside it by colour or by symbol, and placing a stone that touches four others at once is the big goal. The game itself is easy to understand, but its menus and messages were only in Japanese.

What's translated

Django's patch, version 1.0 from 13 January 2011, puts the game's text into English and is listed as fully playable.

Playing it

The patch is applied to your own copy of the game, following the creators' instructions. It expects one particular dump of the disk, which the patch notes name. The patch and its notes are on the romhacking.net entry.
