Shippuu Mahou Daisakusen: Kingdom-Grandprix English translation
疾風魔法大作戦 · Kingdom Grandprix
The Japanese Saturn disc of Kingdom Grandprix hides a complete English translation: this patch by Bo switches it on, with an optional revised script by Malenko.
A hidden translation
Malenko noticed that the Saturn version of Kingdom Grandprix carries a full English script on its disc, even though the game was only sold in Japan. Bo (bbayles) worked out how to turn it on and wrote up the technical details on his Rings of Saturn blog.
What the patch does
The patch switches the game's text to the built-in English and also unlocks the extra Game Mode options that normally need a cheat code. The original English is a bit rough, so there are two versions: one that keeps the hidden translation as it is, and one with Malenko's improved text. The February 2024 update works on optical drive emulators and emulators alike.
