Monster Hunter English translation
モンスターハンター
The MH Oldschool community's English patch for the Japanese release of the first Monster Hunter, so players can use the Japanese version, online menus included, in English.
What's translated
Grender, an admin of the MH Oldschool community that runs revival servers for the early Monster Hunter games, released an English patch for the Japanese version of the original game. It covers the village and NPC dialogue, the tutorials, the pop-up messages and the online menus that matter to people playing on the community's servers.
Version 9
The latest update adds a startup message pointing to the community's site, fixes several online menu strings, translates every tutorial and makes them work on real hardware, corrects the dual blades text given by two NPCs to match the Japanese original, and cleans up many other NPC lines and messages.
Playing it
Apply the patch to a clean copy of your own Japanese disc, following the instructions in the MH Oldschool release thread, which also lists the tools the community uses to edit the game's files.
