Medarot: Kabuto Version English translation
メダロット カブトバージョン · Medarot: Kuwagata Version
A complete English translation of the first Medarot on Game Boy, for both Kabuto and Kuwagata, with optional character portraits that make conversations easier to follow.
What it is
The Medabots community's English translation of the very first Medarot game. The story, menus and the whole parts list are in English, and the game can be played from start to finish. Patches exist for both the Kabuto and Kuwagata editions.
Portraits
Besides the plain translation, the team offers builds that add character portraits next to dialogue. They make it much clearer who is speaking, which the original text boxes often left unclear. There are also builds with Japanese names and with the American Medabots names.
Playing it
The patch expects revision 1.1 of the Japanese game. Apply it to your own copy following the instructions on the project's repository, where bugs can also be reported.
