Translation NES / Famicom

Major League English translation

メジャーリーグ

An English patch for Irem's Famicom tie-in to the 1989 baseball film Major League, with a fix for the graphics glitches that editing the game normally causes.

What's translated

Player names, menus and the game's graphics text are all in English, which suits a game based on an American film.

Under the hood

The patch also includes a fix for how the game handles its memory mapper: without it, changes to the game leave the title screen and the outfield garbled. The author invites other hackers to build on this fix for their own projects.

Playing it

The patch is applied to your own copy of the Japanese game, following the instructions on the patch page; the translators are credited there.
