Shin Megami Tensei: Devil Summoner English translation
真・女神転生 デビルサマナー
Janos42us's English patch for the original Sega Saturn Devil Summoner, covering the story, all demon negotiation personalities, fusion screens, menus and in-game signs, for both disc revisions.
What's translated
The patch covers the whole story: all dialogue, townspeople, shops, boss conversations and the fifteen personalities demons show when you negotiate with them. The Gouma-Den fusion screens, battle text, help text, item and spell descriptions and every menu are in English, the DDS-NET registration screen gets English keyboards, and town and dungeon signs, posters and two movie scenes were redrawn. The opening news report has subtitles, and the credits are romanized.
Translation notes
The script comes from the Japanese text on the Saturn disc, with official Atlus English demon names where they exist. Janos42us used AI to help translate and polish the wording, then reviewed the script, decided on names and terms, and tested on emulators and a real Saturn. Some names are shortened to fit the small boxes of the original layout.
Two disc revisions
There are separate patches for the first release and for the 1996 reprint, which includes Atlus's own bug fixes, such as agility not working above 25 and a quest softlock. Saves work with both.
Known issues
A full playthrough on real hardware is still pending, and a few cosmetic quirks remain, such as wide letter spacing in the fusion legend.
