Yu-Gi-Oh! Monster Capsule GB English translation
遊☆戯☆王 モンスターカプセルGB
Bownly's English patch for Konami's Japan-only Monster Capsule tactics game on the Game Boy Color.
What's translated
The patch covers the game's text: menus, monster and skill names, the opening and the story scenes. Text boxes were enlarged in places so the English fits, and an English font was added.
Version 1.1
The current release is version 1.1, published in November 2023 after the first release in the summer of that year.
For other hackers
Bownly's public GitHub repository holds the extracted script, the insertion setup, the edited font tiles and a notes file listing the addresses changed in the game, so the work can be studied or built on.
