Translation Mega Drive / Genesis

Sonic Eraser English translation

ソニックイレイザー

A revised English patch for Sega's Meganet puzzle game Sonic Eraser that rewrites the opening instructions so the rules finally make sense.

What's new

Sonic Eraser has only a little text: the instructions shown when you start. An earlier English translation existed, but some of its lines were hard to understand and others had been left out, so the rules stayed confusing.

This revision goes back over those instructions, fixes the mistakes and adds what was missing, so a new player can understand how the game works before diving in.

A simpler patch

The older translation came in an unusual patch format that needed its own patching program. This version uses the common IPS format, so any standard patcher will do.

Playing it

The patch is version 1.0.0. Apply it to your own copy of the Japanese game, following the instructions on the romhack.ing page, where its maker is credited.
