This patch for Zoids Saga DS Legend of Arcadia is a project that seeks to translate the game from Japanese into English.
What is translated:
All story dialogue
All NPC dialogue
All weapon, item, part and Zoid names
All character and place names
All skills, deck commands and Zi Data
Almost all menu text
Almost all Zoid Institute text
Almost all battle menu text
Mining radar text
What is not translated:
Lines spoken by characters when attacking (aside from battle cutscenes)
The Zoid Database entries
Multiplayer exclusive text
Some enemy scanner radar text
Known issues:
Leaving the game running for an extended period of time (~12 hours) can result in the game losing it’s ability to save until it is powered off and on again. This bug is present in the original version of the game as well.
Browsing the Kanji section in text entry can cause the game to crash, so please avoid the Kanji section. This is due to the areas in memory reserved for Kanji text entry being used to fit the English translations.
Players can rename Athle to anything they want, however the player will be referred to as ‘Athle’ for all story content. The new name will however be visible in menus and in battle.
