Translation PC-98

Rusty English translation

ラスティ

46 OkuMen's complete English translation of C-Lab's Castlevania-style PC-98 action game, with the manual translated too.

What's translated

Rusty is not a text-heavy game, but getting English on screen took a lot of hacking: most files are compressed, text lives in two different image formats, and the game shows text in five different ways without any support for Latin letters. 46 OkuMen wrote compression tools and assembly hacks to cover all of them, so the story scenes, menus and image text are now in English. The manual, which holds more text than the game itself, has been scanned and translated as well.

Playing it

The team provides an all-in-one patcher for Windows and xdelta patches for Mac and Linux, applied to your own copy of the game following their instructions. They recommend specific Neko Project II builds; their page lists fixes for garbled menus, overly fast cutscene text and freezes on other emulators.
