Translation Nintendo 64

Virtual Pro Wrestling 64 English translation

バーチャル・プロレスリング64 · Virtual Pro-Wrestling 64

A beta English translation of AKI's Japan-only N64 wrestler Virtual Pro Wrestling 64, with most menus, names and textures in English.

What's translated

The startrinket team translated the game's menus, wrestler names and match text into English and redrew about nine tenths of the Japanese textures. Version 1.77 was released as a public beta in January 2020.

Known issues

The team was open about what still needed work: the game can freeze at random after a match (linked to the compressed move files), some large-font text before and after matches looks wrong, some English lines run off the screen, and the last textures are still in Japanese. Japanese save files from the original game are not compatible with the translated one and should not be loaded.

Playing it

Apply the patch to your own copy of the Japanese cartridge following the team's notes in their release thread, where they also took bug reports.
