Simple 2000 Series Ultimate Vol. 5: Love Mahjong! English translation
SIMPLE2000シリーズ アルティメット Vol.5 ラブ★マージャン！ · Simple 2000 Ultimate Vol. 5: Love * Mahjong
ScatterBrain's English patch for a Japan-only PS2 mahjong game, with Western button layout and an optional set of tile markings for players who can't read the tiles yet.
What's translated
All the text in the game is in English: the dialogue scenes, the menus and the rest of the interface. The patch also swaps the circle and cross buttons so confirming and cancelling work the way Western players expect.
Tile markings
Version 1.1 adds a second, optional patch that prints small markings on the tiles: numbers 1 to 9 on the suited tiles, E, S, W and N on the winds and D on the dragons. It's a handy aid for anyone still learning riichi mahjong. Because the original tile textures are tiny, ScatterBrain recommends it only on an emulator running at twice the native resolution or more.
Playing it
The patch is applied to your own copy of the Japanese disc, following ScatterBrain's instructions on the GitHub page, which also names the exact release the patch was tested with.
