Translation NES / Famicom

Maten Douji English translation

魔天童子 · Conquest of the Crystal Palace

Stardust Crusaders and Eien ni Hen's English translation of the Japanese version of Conquest of the Crystal Palace.

What it is

This patch translates Maten Douji, the Famicom original of the NES game Conquest of the Crystal Palace. Eien ni Hen translated the script and Pennywise of Stardust Crusaders did the hacking; it was finished on 13 September 2011, and the current release is version 1.01.

What's translated

The story scenes, the dog's lines, the shop run by Lin and the news bulletins that pop up during the game are all in English. The group considers this version better than the official localization, which changed some graphics (The Cutting Room Floor lists the regional differences) and rewrote the text.

Playing it

The patch is applied to your own copy of the Japanese cartridge, following the included instructions. Get it from the Stardust Crusaders project page linked below.
