Luke Gagnon's English patch for Compile's PC Engine CD shooter subtitles every voiced cutscene, translates the in-level radio chatter and menus, and adds a continue feature.

What's translated

The voiced cutscenes now have English subtitles in a proportional font, and the title cards, character labels, the dialogue that pops up during levels, the menus, the ending and the credits are all in English. English that was already in the original game was left alone apart from obvious mistakes.

What's new

The patch adds a quality-of-life continue option that lets you resume from the last level you finished. Later updates corrected a misheard faction name throughout the script, fixed cutscenes reverting to Japanese after continuing from early chapters, and fixed a crash and a missing weapon select screen in the tunnel section of chapter 8.

Playing it

The patch is for the Japanese disc and modifies its two data tracks. Apply it to your own copy following the steps on Luke Gagnon's GitHub page. The timing of subtitles was tuned on real hardware; if the text drifts from the voices in an emulator, the author suggests trying another one.
