Little Master: Nijiiro no Maseki English translation
リトルマスター〜虹色の魔石〜 · Little Master: Jewels of Rainbow
A full AI-assisted English translation of the Japan-only Super Famicom strategy RPG, replacing an older patch that never got past beta.
What's translated
minhnhattonthat's patch translates the whole script, nearly 3,700 entries across the story, units, items, spells, monsters and battle messages, and each chapter was reviewed for continuity and the characters' voices. The text runs in a new variable-width font and was moved to make room for English, and the title screen gets an English subtitle, "Jewels of Rainbow". World-map labels and some interface graphics were already in English in the original. The creator says the translation was made with extensive AI assistance and invites corrections.
This release takes the place of an earlier, unfinished beta translation of the game.
Updates
Version 1.2 fixes the names shown after a Fusion Jar, the Scenario Information layout, the YES/NO cursor and a problem when the game boots with random memory contents. The ending staff roll hasn't been checked in play yet, and one speech-bubble graphic may still be in Japanese.
Playing it
Apply the patch to your own copy of the Japanese cartridge following the instructions on the project page. The patched game is larger than the original, so flash carts need to support that size. Tested in Mesen2.
