Jet Impulse English translation
ジェットインパルス
Megalith's English patch for Nintendo's Japan-only DS flight combat game, translating mission briefings, radio messages, cutscenes and menus.
What's translated
Earlier attempts at this game stalled on technical problems, and this patch is the result of several people working through them: the font, graphics, a cutscene format that allows only 64 bytes of text per line, and cutscene text that scrolled too slowly and got cut off. Mission briefings, radio messages, cutscenes, aircraft stats and menus are in English, and the people involved are credited on the game's intro screens.
Versions
Updates through version 1.3 fixed briefing text in several missions, retranslated some radio lines, improved the readability of the briefing and exit screens, tidied up menu wording and adjusted the font, punctuation and spacing. The creator says it is not perfect yet and welcomes feedback.
