Mod is using shindatautil layouting function for automatic injection of break lines.We are not bothered by images that are using japanese and english texts at the same time (except for wrongly translated images).

Mod translated only required minimum of images.

We won't work on porting this mod to PS4 version of game.

This allows us to share ROM with only those files that are necessary for this mod (thanks for DCNick3 for that).

Mod is using special patch that not only translates strings stored in executable, but also allows for loading third ROM file on top of data.rom and patch.rom.

Game doesn't support italics, they are changed so word is between *.

PC release is not bothered by this limiation.

Script supports mainly Shift-JIS, so implementing any other language needs additional effort.

They don't have any readable way to understand how SELECT is forcing jumps and sets flags. JSON files are containing texts only for sending corrections and translation updates.

This project was not made with purpose to make easier to translate to other languages.

Any other way of using this mod (different CFW or emulators) are not supported by us, but this doesn't mean it won't work on them.

We are providing support only for Nintendo Switch users with Atmosphere.

Expect bugs like not playing audio files, weird break lines, crashing related to broken tags, etc.

This project is practically in infinite beta.

Project started at 4th January 2021, first release was in 29th June 2021.
