Namco Museum Encore English translation
ナムコミュージアム アンコール
MonstermanMFR's graphics patch that puts the museum menus, receptionist messages and record screens of Namco's Japan-only arcade collection into English.
What's translated
The arcade games in Namco Museum Encore were already playable without Japanese; the museum around them was not. MonstermanMFR's patch replaces the Japanese text stored in the game's images: the receptionist's messages and, above all, the Records menus, so you can follow your rankings while you play King & Balloon, Motos, Sky Kid, Rolling Thunder, Wonder Momo, Rompers and Dragon Saber.
This was the creator's first hacking project. By their own account the text was translated with help from Google Translate, which suits the short menu messages, and a few images that don't seem to appear in play are left untouched.
Playing it
The patch is applied to your own copy of the Japanese limited edition (the Shokai Gentei Special Box release), following the README in the creator's repository.
