Here’s a patch that adds German as a third selectable language to Dragon Hopper. It translates all dialogue, menus, stage cards, name labels, the magic menu and the controller help.
The attached screenshots show the patch in action combined with a color patch I am also working on, more on that in a future post. Both patches are fully compatible with each other.
To have enough space for the additional text and graphical data, and to achieve full interoperability with the color patch, this translation patch increases the size of the ROM from 16 MBit to 64 MBit.
Disclaimer: AI has been used in the creation of this patch, and has been extremely helpful to massively reduce the time required to find all translatable text, both in text and graphical form.
