Telefang 2: Power Version English translation
携帯電獣テレファング2 パワー · Keitai Denjuu Telefang 2: Power
A complete but rough English patch for Telefang 2 Power, built by moving the script of an old bootleg translation into the original Japanese game, which unlike the bootleg actually works.
What's translated
The whole game is in English, but the text has an unusual origin: it comes from an unofficial bootleg cartridge sold with an English script that crashed at the main menu. Jdbye, Normmatt and Spikeman extracted that script, reworked it so it fits the screen, and inserted it into the original Japanese Power version with a variable-width font. Battle text was retranslated by RacieB, Blaziken257, Kimbles and Jdbye, with further help from Glitch.
Because most of the script still comes from the bootleg, expect clumsy and sometimes baffling lines: it is enough to follow the story, not a polished localization.
Playing it
The patch is made for the Japanese Power version and is applied to your own copy of the game following the instructions in the project's GitHub repository, which also holds the script, the tools and the build files. If you use an emulator, set the save type to 64K flash and delete any old save file the emulator created before playing, or the game may not save correctly.
