Steamgear Mash English translation
スチームギア・マッシュ
An English patch for Takara's Japan-only isometric Saturn action game, bundled with native support for the Sega 3D Control Pad's analog stick.
What's translated
Suinevere Pendragon's patch puts the game's menus and on-screen text into English, including the story messages shown during play. Version 1.10 also translates the staff roll, and the closing card now reads THE END. The author says Claude was used to investigate the game and build the patch.
3D Control Pad support
The release also adds proper support for the Sega 3D Control Pad: in analog mode the stick moves Mash and drives the menus. For the best feel, the author suggests choosing Control Type 1 in the options. In digital mode, or with a standard pad, the game controls as before. The technique was inspired by an earlier analog patch for another Saturn game.
