Translation Master System

Solomon no Kagi: Oujo Rihita no Namida English translation

ソロモンの鍵 王女リヒタの涙 · Solomon's Key: The Tears of Princess Lihita

A full English patch for the Japan-only Master System version of Solomon's Key, including all endings and an English title screen by Ichigobankai.

What's translated

The patch is a complete translation of the game. All of the endings are in English, and the title screen uses an English logo made by Ichigobankai. The release also includes the table file used for the work, so others can translate the game into further languages.

The game

Each room is a single screen: you create and destroy blocks to build paths, avoid or trap enemies, collect the key and reach the exit before time runs out. Hidden items and secret rooms reward experimenting, and the story leading to the different endings is where the Japanese text mattered.

Playing it

The patch is version 1.0. Apply it to your own copy of the Japanese cartridge, following the instructions on the romhack.ing page, which credits everyone involved.
