Mōryō Senki Madara 2 English translation

What's translated

The Jazz Club has put the whole of Madara 2 into English: story dialogue, menus and battle messages. The patch adds proportional fonts designed to echo the original Japanese lettering and a redone title screen, and names and lines are spelled out in full rather than squeezed into the cramped limits of the original script. The ROM is expanded to make room, which the patch handles on its own. The creators state that AI tools assisted with both the translation and the patch code.

What's new in 1.2

Version 1.2 is flagged by the creators as a critical update. It fixes an interrupt bug that could hang the game during combat, first reported in an early fight in the haunted mansion. It also carries over the earlier fixes: a progression problem at Mount Osore, missing item and spell names and descriptions, and several menu, portrait and equipment display glitches. On November 12 the 1.2 download was refreshed, keeping the same number, to remove leftover Japanese from Kageo's attack captions and battle labels, so anyone who grabbed 1.2 before that should get it again.

Playing it

Apply the patch to your own copy of the original Japanese release, following the creators' instructions on the official page. Version 1.2 replaces earlier patches entirely: start again from the untouched Japanese game rather than patching over an older English build. The creators welcome reports of untranslated text or bugs, ideally with a screenshot and the location.
