Triggerheart Exelica English translation
トリガーハート エグゼリカ
A full English patch for the Dreamcast version of Warashi's anchor-shot shooter, with translated graphics, analog stick support and a new invincibility toggle.
What's translated
Menus, the Story mode dialogue and the VMU save messages are all in English, and every texture with Japanese on it was redrawn, including the official English logo. Story mode uses the script of the Steam and Switch re-release as a base, revised in places, while the lines that only exist in the Dreamcast version were translated from scratch. The game was also taught to print Latin text with a tighter font spacing, and the save files show English names in the Dreamcast file manager.
What's new
- Analog stick support, with separate sensitivity for menus and stages.
- An invincibility option that can be switched on or off from the options or the pause menu.
- A fix for PAL consoles, which no longer start the game in a broken 50Hz mode.
- Cleaner wording on several menu labels.
Playing it
Patch your own copy of the Japanese disc following the instructions on the project page; there are patches for the GDI and CDI formats, and the GDI one also works with Universal Dreamcast Patcher.
