Lunar 2: Eternal Blue English translation

What's done

This is a preview release of a work in progress. For now the dialogue uses the Working Designs PlayStation script as-is, inserted into the Saturn game with a new variable width font; a cleanup and revision of the translation is planned. Items, spells, menus, save slots and battle text are mostly translated, and the first video subtitle has been added as a proof of concept. The voices stay in Japanese, so it currently plays a bit like an undub of the PlayStation text.

A few lines that only exist in the Saturn version are still placeholders, and some graphical glitches can appear when the inserted timed dialogue doesn't line up with the Japanese scene scripts; they clear after the next battle. The hacker has played up to the town of Dalton in Mednafen without major problems. Version 0.22a mainly fixed dialogue issues and a stray character in item text.
