J.B. Harold: Blue Chicago Blues English translation
Ｊ．Ｂ．ハロルド ブルー・シカゴ・ブルース · J.B. Harold Blue Chicago Blues
A complete English translation of Riverhillsoft's live-action detective game on the Saturn, covering both discs, the menus and the ending.
What's translated
Version 1.00 covers the whole game across both discs: the story chapters, the choice menus, the system screens and the title screen, which was redrawn in English. Arjak used the longer video clips from the Windows release where they helped, and Shadowmask restored the English audio.
History
The project started in November 2022 as a short demo. Chapter 1 followed in April 2023, chapter 2 in May and chapter 3 in July, and the full translation was released on 10 September 2023.
Playing it
The patch is applied to your own copy of the Japanese two-disc Saturn release with the patching tool included in the download; the creator asks you to use that bundled version only. If you played an earlier release, patch a clean copy of disc 1 again, because the ending scenes live on that disc.
Credits
Project direction, video and graphics editing by Collin "Arjak" Pierce; translation by Duralumin and Kate Olivia Pierce; English audio restoration by Shadowmask. Download the patch from the project page on SegaXtreme.
