Momotarou Densetsu English translation
桃太郎伝説 · Momotaro Densetsu
An AI-assisted English patch for Hudson's PlayStation remake of the Momotaro folk-tale RPG, translating the story, menus and drawn lettering.
What's translated
The story and all the dialogue are in English, along with the menus, items, skills and system messages. Lettering drawn into the graphics, such as signs, banners, cards, minigames and the ending, has been redone in English. The name entry screen defaults to English letters but keeps optional hiragana and katakana pages, and the credits are given as English transliterations. The original Japanese logo stays, since the game never had an English one, and the music and sound are untouched.
How it was made
minhnhattonthat made the translation with heavy AI assistance, and the project's repository holds the full script, glossary and the reasoning behind its translation choices. It was tested on an emulator with scene-by-scene checks rather than a full natural playthrough, and has not been tried on real hardware.
Playing it
This is version 1.0. Apply the patch to your own copy of the Japanese disc, following the instructions on the project page, and start from a cold boot rather than an old save state. Circle confirms and Cross cancels. Bugs can be reported on the repository's issues page.
