Midgard English translation

ミッドガルド

Yuvi and SnowyAria's complete English translation of the 1998 Japanese PC action RPG Midgard, covering story, items, professions and system text.

What's translated

Yuvi and SnowyAria translated the whole game: the story, the opening and ending, item descriptions, profession text and the system messages. Yuvi also did the hacking and wrote the tools, and the Eight Mansions team helped with playtesting. The first full release came out in November 2022; version 1.1 a month later added support for the Taiwanese version of the game.

Playing it

The patch works on your own copy of the Japanese release (version 1.0 or 1.2) or the Korean one, and it patches the game's executable. According to the creators, the game runs on modern Windows if you mount the game disc image for the music and set the executable to Windows XP compatibility so the videos play. The repository's README lists the keyboard controls; gamepads are supported too.
