Shiren the Wanderer GB2: Magic Castle of the Desert English translation
不思議のダンジョン 風来のシレンGB2 ～砂漠の魔城～ · Fushigi no Dungeon: Fuurai no Shiren GB2 - Sabaku no Majou
Iggy Poop's English patch for the Game Boy Color original of Shiren GB2, with a redrawn title screen, translated graphics and working English rescue passwords.
What's translated
The patch covers the story and gameplay text, item and monster names, every menu and input screen, and the game's graphics: an English title screen, the copyright card, the ending staff credits, arrival cards, the save sign and the dungeon HUD. Naming unidentified items and writing on blank scrolls work with English letters, and the rescue password system can convert between the English and Japanese versions. Two builds are offered, one with a plain black font and one with a gray shadow.
How it was made
The author says the translation was made with AI assistance. The repository includes a large automated test suite, and the game has been played through to the end of the main and post-game dungeons. Release 1.04 is labelled a release candidate while playtesting continues; the debug menu is translated as well.
