Virtua Cop 2 English translation
バーチャコップ2
Derek Pascarella's patch puts the Japan-only Dreamcast port of Virtua Cop 2 into English and fixes PAL refresh and audio issues along the way.
What's translated
The Dreamcast version had only a little Japanese text, and the patch converts all of it: the on-screen tips and tutorial messages, the stage title screens, the VMU save and load messages, and the save file information shown in the VMU menu. Some of the English assets and code come from the English PC release of the game.
Also fixed
Version 1.1 keeps the game running at 60 Hz on PAL consoles even without a VGA cable, and removes an audio pop heard after many sound effects.
Playing it
The patch is a DCP file for Universal Dreamcast Patcher, applied to your own GDI or CUE image of the Japanese disc following the instructions on the official page; it suits emulators and optical drive emulators. A CD-R friendly version is on the roadmap.
