Spectral Force: Itoshiki Jaaku English translation
スペクトラルフォース 愛しき邪悪 · Spectral Force: Lovely Wickedness
A beta English patch for Idea Factory's 1999 PlayStation strategy game Spectral Force: Itoshiki Jaaku, with the story, menus and main interface in English.
What's translated
The story dialogue, menus, names, country descriptions, character profiles and the main interface graphics are in English. Movie subtitles and voices are unchanged, and a few short labels had to be abbreviated to fit the space the Japanese used.
Status
This is a first beta. dienp says the text was drafted with machine help and has not had a full human edit, so some lines read stiffly. The opening, the first months of a campaign and the main menus have been played; nobody has reached the end yet, so later screens may still show clipped text. Reports with screenshots are welcome on the repository.
Playing it
Apply the BPS patch to your own BIN/CUE image of the original Japanese disc, following the instructions in the creator's GitHub repository linked here. It was tested in DuckStation.
