Seirei Senshi Spriggan English translation
精霊戦士スプリガン · Spriggan
An English patch for Compile's PC Engine CD shooter that subtitles every voiced scene and in-stage conversation, translates menus and credits, and adds auto-save.
What's translated
The game's story is entirely voiced, so the patch adds English subtitles to the cutscenes and to the dialogue that plays during the stages. Act title cards, menus and the ending credits are translated too. English text that the original already had was left alone apart from clear mistakes.
What's new
Progress and option settings are now saved automatically, loading is quicker and a few bugs were fixed. Version 1.1 cures an occasional freeze during in-stage dialogue.
Subtitle timing was tuned on real PC Engine hardware, so in some emulators voices and text can drift apart; the author suggests trying another emulator if that happens. The patch works with every System Card version.
Playing it
The patch is applied to the data tracks of your own copy of the Japanese disc, following the instructions on the project page.
