Mahou Kishi Rayearth English translation
魔法騎士レイアース · Magic Knight Rayearth
filler and Supper's English translation of the Game Gear Magic Knight Rayearth RPG.
What it is
filler began translating the Game Gear Magic Knight Rayearth in 2004 and published an unfinished patch in 2011; the complete translation, with Supper handling the programming and graphics, followed on 31 July 2018 and replaces the old partial release. It is a different game from the Saturn action RPG that came out in America.
What's translated
The story, dialogue, shops, spell and item names and battle menus are in English. This handheld RPG tells its own side story: Mokona has vanished, and Hikaru, Umi and Fuu set off across Cephiro to find their companion.
Source code
Supper also published the project's source materials (tools, code, art and script) on GitHub, so the translation can be rebuilt or studied.
Playing it
The patch is applied to your own copy of the Japanese Game Gear cartridge, following the included instructions. filler's project page linked below has the history and links to the release.
Credits: filler (translation), Supper (programming and graphics), Cccmar (playtesting), David Duerr (earlier programming work).
