46 | .------------::[ v1.0 Release Notes ]::-------------
47 | |
48 | | Inspired by the English translation patch for "Radirgy" released just a couple
49 | | of days ago by wiredcrackpot (http://www.romhacking.net/community/7247/), I
50 | | decided to take a quick peek at another late MileStone shooter on my beloved
51 | | Dreamcast: "Chaos Field". As some of you might know, I'm currently in the
52 | | middle of what will likely be a year-long project for my next translation
53 | | patch, but this one was so easy, I just had to whip it together.
54 | |
55 | | I originally planned to borrow the English assets from the GameCube version,
56 | | just like wiredcrackpot used the Wii version for "Radirgy". However, my job
57 | | was even simpler than that. The standard retail release of "Chaos Field" on
58 | | Dreamcast actually shipped with about 80% of the English text and images
59 | | already baked into the disc. All I had to do was flip a proverbial switch and
60 | | then translate that remaining 20%!
61 | |
62 | | There isn't much else to say, other than to comment on the fact that this
63 | | game was already pretty English-friendly. However, with this patch you will
64 | | not encounter a single piece of Japanese text throughout your play, whether
65 | | it be in the menus, the tutorials, the character selection, or even the end
66 | | credits. The only real exception to this is the subtitle below the "Chaos
67 | | Field" logo, which itself actually says "Chaos Field", and thus deserves to
68 | | stay.
69 | |
70 | | With that, I hope everyone out there enjoys playing this game in English on
71 | | SEGA's beautiful swan-song console. As always, I'd like to give a gigantic
72 | | thank you to the incredible Dreamcast community, without whom my life would
73 | | feel incomplete. Together, we can keep The Dream™ alive...
