[ateam]

It is with tremendous pride that I announce our v1.0 release of the English translation patch for "Capcom vs. SNK 2: Millionaire Fighting 2001" on the SEGA Dreamcast!

A lot of polish went into this special release, so read on!

Firstly, no official Western localization ever saw the ~5,100 post-win quotes fully translated. Instead, we got about a seventh of the original text, but heavily watered down (to put it nicely)...

UNTIL TODAY! Now, all of this fun dialogue is present and in English!

This patch translates EVERYTHING, including the special move list, which was borrowed from the PlayStation 2 release with numerous fixes and clean-ups.

On top of that, we also used the PlayStation 2 game as source for the end-game cutscene text, but with TONS of fixes, clean-ups, and even a few rewrites!

We didn't stop there, though! The now-defunct "Network Mode" has been replaced with "Bonus Mode", delivering special bonus content, including a 100% unlocked save, an original Japanese TV commercial (subtitled), and developer interviews translated by Benjamin Roodberg.

I'd like to extend a heartfelt "thank you" to the team who worked with me to make this ambitious project a reality: rob2d for graphics, Duralumin, Jesuszilla, Tortita, Justin Gibbins, and hasnopants for translation, and Silentscope for playtesting.

And remember, as always there's TONS of useful information in the README (linked in the first post). I highly suggest players skim the "What's Changed" section before diving in.

Another important note is that this patch has been delivered in multiple formats designed to ensure no Dreamcast fan is left out! There's two forms of GDI patches and, depending on your hardware revision, two CDI patch variants.

Please consult the README for more details.

Haha, yeah -- it was A LOT of work!

Perhaps one day. It'd be Tokyo Bus Guide, if anything. I still have other active WIP projects, though.

Well, as tough a gig as this one was for the sheer volume of work, I'm sure I can speak for everyone here and say we really appreciate it.

I know Densha De Go is never going to get done. no1 cares enough about driving trains in the Japanese countryside to want to do it in english. Driving busses though. that's a whole different box of squirrels. Spose for that at least there's that chinese version that YZB worked on so maybe some of the hacking side would be a bit easier, even if the translation isn't cos it's gfx heavy. I'll keep hoping someone may pick it up some day.

Amazing, as always! Should we wait on the patching until the "Color Edit Mode Text Error" is fixed?

Thanks!

...and no. I'm going to let this patch sit out there for at least a month or more so that a v1.1 update can address anything that players find.

Thank you Derek! A winner is you!
