Nostalgia 1907 English translation

ノスタルジア1907

A complete English translation of the atmospheric Mega-CD adventure Nostalgia 1907, built with open, reproducible tooling and an AI-assisted script reviewed by hand.

What's translated

The whole script is in English: 19 chapters and nearly 2,900 lines, with a small number of lines deliberately left in Japanese. Text boxes were reworked so the English wraps and clears correctly across the game's different text renderers, and the staff credits were corrected.

How it was made

The author says AI tools were used heavily for translation and reverse engineering, with the final script reviewed by hand, tested in the game and revised along the way. Version 1.0.2 was checked with a complete playthrough in an emulator. The project is fully open: the English script and the rebuild tools are on the project page so that others can continue the work.

Playing it

The English game is built from your own copy of the original Japanese Mega-CD disc with the tools and instructions on the project page; by default the build targets North American Sega CD systems. Translation by matt-dawidowicz.
