I've been waiting for this translation ever since I got Patlabor in a bootleg catridge back in 99 when I was 8 years old. You have no idea how happy you made me
 
Well, when I say I haven't had the opportunity to play this game or seen the anime much, but both things look good.
 
On both Genesis GX Plus and Pico Drive, on the same and different devices, I'm getting a lot of garbled text. Anyone else?

I thought it was just a funny thing about not understanding the invaders, but if you win at gambling , the chief starts talking gibberish as well.

Oh, damn. I thought I could've used a wrong clean rom to apply the patch, but checking it again it's really the correct one indicated in their readme file. I tried anyway to find another clean rom, with a different CRC, to apply the patch and test if the problems were gone, but I can't find one with a CRC different than 21A0E749. :C

There's also a review in the Romhack.ing page with the same issue as you:

"Corrupted text shortly after coup
Good work on the translation itself from what I can tell, but unfortunately I'm seeing some completely bugged text pretty early in the game. Once you've escaped the locked room, stolen a soldier's clothes, and walked into the room next to Goto's Office, the text in that room is all corrupt. I took a screenshot if it helps:

Examining the room and talking to the guy in there produces also corrupt text. I tracked down the ROM suggested in the .txt and also tried some other revisions, all exhibit the same behavior."



Maybe they'll fix it in a future update.

Wow, how this getting translated went under my radar? Love Patlabor, best Mecha franchise by a long shot.
Hope the gameplay is good.
This looks absolutely incredible. Does anyone know if this is an original story or if it's adapting anything that already exists for the Patlabor series? No spoilers please as I have not seen the TV series and beyond yet due to the lack of time.
As far as I'm aware it is an original story and Mamoru Oshii himself worked on the game.

The readme of the patch asks for the japan game, so the patch is fine. The checksum of the game is incorrect after patching, it may not work on real hardware in the current state. There is an utility that fixes the checksum. Any tool that can fix checksums should work.
 
This is same game like on FDS or CBC or other with same name?
