Shinrei Jusatsushi Taroumaru English translation
心霊呪殺師 太郎丸 · Psychic Killer Taromaru · Shinrei Jusatsushi Tarōmaru
ExxistanceDC's English patch for the Saturn action game Taroumaru translates the menus, on-screen interface and credits, and offers an optional English dub of the opening and ending narration.
What's translated
The game is perfectly playable in Japanese, so this patch focuses on making it feel at home in English. The options screens, the in-game interface and the opening and ending credits are redrawn in English, the title screen gains an English name, and a typo in the original publisher credit on that screen is fixed. Duralumin, Exxistance and TeDNeo worked on the translation, and Exxistance redrew the textures.
Dub or no dub
To help English speakers follow the setup of the story, Exxistance also recorded English voice-overs for the narration at the start and end of the game. There are two patches: one with the English narration, one that keeps the original Japanese voices with all the other changes.
Playing it
The patch is applied to your own copy of the Japanese disc with the Saturn patching tool bundled in the release, following the instructions in the creator's GitHub repository. The creator recommends Mednafen or Ymir for emulation. A tip from the readme: you can recruit enemies to fight on your side with the Ally button.
