Translation WonderSwan / Color

SD Gundam: Operation U.C. English translation

SDガンダム オペレーションU.C.

An AI-made English patch for Bandai's WonderSwan Color game SD Gundam: Operation U.C., covering the story pages, stage titles, menus and all 108 unit names.

What's translated

The creator says the translation and the hacking were done by an AI model, so the entry carries the machine translation and AI-assisted tags. The patch covers:

  • every story page of the four parts, drawn with a new variable-width font that keeps names highlighted as in the original;
  • the 34 stage title cards, redrawn in the original style;
  • all menus, including mode select, stage select and the player select screens;
  • all 108 unit names and the series lists, checked against the official English names in 0.9.1;
  • the continue screen, the link messages and the unlock screens.

The staff roll and the battle display were already in English.

Known limits

The unit select screen fits only 15 characters, so a few long names are shortened. The small katakana line under the title logo is part of the artwork and stays. The patch has not yet been played through on real hardware, and the author welcomes bug reports.

Version 0.9.2

The latest update fixes a button prompt, recolours two stage titles to match the originals and translates the series logos on the U.C. Mode screen.
