Translation Game Boy Advance

Torneko's Great Adventure 2 Advance English translation

トルネコの大冒険2アドバンス 不思議のダンジョン · Torneko no Daibouken 2 Advance: Fushigi no Dungeon

An AI-assisted English translation of the Game Boy Advance remake of Torneko's Mystery Dungeon adventure, with a compact English font and translated dungeon graphics.

What's translated

The patch inserts more than 3,800 English text resources, covering dialogue, menus, item and monster names, tutorials and the countless status and combat messages a roguelike throws at you. Twenty graphics were redone in English, including the title, the floating corner logos and the dungeon arrival cards. A compact font keeps item lists tidy, player names can be seven letters long, and the game's own English credits are kept. The translation was made with AI assistance, and the author has spent the recent updates tracking down messages that still appeared in Japanese.

The current build is labelled a release candidate: the author reports no known untranslated paths but says full playtesting of the whole game is still needed. The original gameplay, bugs included, is left untouched.

Playing it

The patch is applied to your own copy of the Japanese cartridge, following the instructions on the project page.
