R?MJ: The Mystery Hospital English translation
R?MJ ――エムジェイ。 －THE MYSTERY HOSPITAL－
SnowyAria and EsperKnight's English patch for Bandai's two-disc horror adventure, with subtitled voice acting and a spoiler-free walkthrough.
What's translated
The patch subtitles the game's full voice acting and translates the on-screen text, story captions and images across both discs. Kotcrab's subtitle timing tool was used to sync the subtitles in the movies. A spoiler-free walkthrough written for the release is included in the repository for anyone who gets stuck.
The game
In the summer of 1999 two friends rush to a hospital after a suspicious motorcycle accident, only to be sealed inside by an explosion while a virus spreads. Besides exploring and solving puzzles, you have a button for your five senses: when someone asks whether you smelled or heard something, press it in time to react. The game saves automatically at set points, and dying sends you back to the last save.
Playing it
The patch is applied to your own copies of both Japanese discs (BIN format) following the instructions in the repository; it comes with a drag-and-drop patcher for Windows and plain xdelta files for other systems. On DuckStation, the movie subtitles need the CPU execution mode set to an interpreter.
