Translation Famicom Disk System

Time Twist: Rekishi no Katasumi de... English translation

タイムツイスト 歴史のかたすみで… · Time Twist: The Margins of History

FCC's complete English translation of Nintendo's two-part Disk System adventure, merged into a single image that moves from part one to part two by itself.

What's translated

FCC's patch covers both halves of the game. It is based on sudgy's translation of the script, with lines that had been missed and mistranslations corrected, and FCC handled the hacking, tools and proofreading, with Bunkai helping on a few spots. Her-Saki translated the instruction manual, which FCC typeset and includes with the release. To fit English into the Disk System's very small memory, all text is in upper case and single-spaced, and menus use one column.

One image, two disks

The patched result merges the first and second disks into one image: you start from part one and the game switches to part two by itself when it asks for the next disk. Version 1.1 fixes a crash in the Underworld section when the mini-game was failed on any man but the first.

Playing it

You need your own copies of both Japanese disks; follow the instructions on the release page. The translation tools are open source in the project's GitHub repository, and the creators note that no AI was used to make them.
