Version 2
January 2, 2024
This is a complete fan translation to English of the Japanese game 'Dungeon Master Nexus' for Sega Saturn.
The only place where Japanese language is still present is in the
soundtracks of the 3 game videos, but English subtitles were added into
the patched videos.
The patched version is region locked 'For USA and CANADA' (the original game is region locked 'For JAPAN').
It also fixes these little bugs in the original game:
The initial translation was performed using several online translation tools. Translated texts were then reviewed, rephrased or adapted for better translations or to fit under the limitations imposed by the game. The original Dungeon Master vocabulary was used wherever applicable (champion names, spell names, creature names, item names and actions, etc.). Version 2 has many translation improvements that result from reviews and feedback from English and Japanese native speakers.
This section describes all the changes in the English translation and the associated source files.
'Translations.csv' contains all Japanese texts in the game and their translation to English.
The original bitmaps containing Japanese texts are replaced with bitmaps containing English texts.
All the Japanese characters on the champion rename screen are now replaced with lowercase latin letters, magic symbols and a few other characters.
