Steam-Heart's English translation
スチーム・ハーツ · Steam Hearts
Psyklax's English translation of the PC-98 shooter Steam-Heart's, which puts the story scenes between stages into English; a 2026 fix from Elrinth stops it crashing outside the translator's own setup.
What's translated
Psyklax translated the story and the dialogue that plays during and between stages. By the creator's account the options menu and the ending credits stay in Japanese, which doesn't get in the way of playing. The patch has stayed at version 0.99 since 2018.
Crash fix
The translation could crash during dialogue on emulators, real machines or other DOS setups than the one it was made on. In 2026 Elrinth found the cause and released a small separate fix on his GitHub page, applied on top of the translated game. It changes no text or gameplay.
Playing it
The game is adult content. Apply the translation to your own copy of the game following Psyklax's instructions on the translation page, then add Elrinth's fix if your setup crashes. Translation by Psyklax, crash fix by Elrinth.
