Super Puzzle Fighter II X for Matching Service English translation
スーパーパズルファイターIIX for Matching Service
A Dreamcast patch that makes Capcom's Japan-only online edition of Super Puzzle Fighter II X boot in English, with the status messages translated and the VMU save data in English too.
How it works
The game already contains English text: Capcom left a hidden language option in it. Derek Pascarella's patch changes the default setting from Japanese to English, so character dialogue and win quotes show up in English as soon as you start. It also includes comradesnarky's earlier translation of the status and information messages, which the built-in English didn't cover. Text tied to network play is not translated.
Version 1.1
The first release came out on 4 June 2023; version 1.1 followed on 10 June and puts the VMU save file details into English as well.
Good to know
The hidden options menu still works, so the language can be switched afterwards. If your VMU has a save from the Japanese release, that save brings back its old language setting: delete it, or set the region to U.S.A. in the hidden menu, as the README explains.
Playing it
The patch is applied to your own copy of the game, in GDI or CDI format, following the instructions on the project's GitHub page.
