Yu Yu Hakusho Gaiden English translation
幽☆遊☆白書 外伝 · Yuu Yuu Hakusho Gaiden
Patch Clan's complete English translation of Yu Yu Hakusho Gaiden, the Japan-only Mega Drive adventure that sends the four Spirit Detectives into the Demon World.
What's translated
All 1,531 lines of the script are in English, along with the menus, the save and load screens, the hero names in the battle status box and the 36 enemy names shown during fights. Patch Clan drew a font that packs two letters into each tile so lines fit the original dialogue box, and remade every graphic with Japanese text, including a new GAIDEN title logo. Names follow the original manual and the anime's English dub, and two reviewers checked the script against the Japanese.
Fixes
The latest build revises around 120 lines, slows down the blinking text arrow and menu cursor, and stops Kuwabara's Spirit Sword from flickering. An earlier update fixed a black screen on real consoles and flash carts. Because the ROM grew to 4 MB, saving needs an emulator or flash cart that supports the cartridge's save switching.
Playing it
The patch is applied to your own copy of the Japanese cartridge, following the instructions on Patch Clan's project page, which also has an English manual and walkthrough.
