Summon Night: Swordcraft Story 3 - The Stone of Beginnings English translation
サモンナイト クラフトソード物語 はじまりの石 · Summon Night Craft Sword Monogatari: Hajimari no Ishi
The long-running fan project to translate the third Summon Night: Swordcraft Story into English is complete, covering dialogue, menus, graphics and every item and monster description.
What's translated
Practically all of the Japanese text is now in English: the story dialogue, menus, character, place and item names, descriptions in the bestiary and item lists, mini-game rules, the credits and the graphics that contain text. The team says the script was translated by people who know both languages and proofread several times by native English speakers. Voice clips are still in Japanese, and the patch has not been tested on real hardware.
The project began on the GBAtemp forums more than ten years ago and was finished by a newer team. Version 1.1.1f shows the patch version on the start menu, fixes typos and keeps a pun in one ore name; earlier updates fixed hard locks in two cutscenes.
Playing it
The patch is applied to your own copy of the Japanese cartridge, following the instructions on the project site.
