Translation PC Engine CD

Neo Nectaris English translation

ネオ・ネクタリス

An AI-assisted English patch for the Japan-only Military Madness sequel on PC Engine CD, translating the interface and subtitling the voiced cutscenes, with the bundled original Nectaris translated too.

What's translated

The patch puts the whole interface into English, from the command menus to the unit and weapon descriptions, and adds English subtitles over the cutscenes' Japanese voice track. The subtitles were checked for sync on MiSTer and in Mednafen. The copy of the original Nectaris included on the disc is translated as well, largely following the wording of its official American release. The translation was made with AI assistance, and the author notes the full campaign was not played through from start to finish.

Playing it

The two xdelta patches go on tracks of your own Redump copy of the Japanese disc; the release page lists the tracks and their checksums.
