[Playstation] Langrisser V English Patch

[Jamukha]

This literally came out of nowhere.
https://www.romhacking.net/translations/7599/

Complete English translation of Langrisser V: The End of Legend for the PlayStation by nE0sIghT, as released on the Langrisser IV & V: Final Edition compilation (Langrisser V disc, serial SLPS-01819).

All story and menu text is translated: the story across every scenario, the intro quiz and tutorial battle, menus and the config screen, item/class/spell/character names, optional maps, and the in-game recap screens.

Distributed as a PPF patch applied to the verified original disc image (patch the .bin; the .cue is unchanged). The patch is built reproducibly with an open-source toolkit (GPL v3).

Special thanks to CyberWarriorX for the Langrisser III toolkit and borgor for the English translation guide

Sweet! We finally have complete translations (sorta) for the whole Langrisser series.

Edit: It is kind of crazy how hacks build upon each other. Thanks to the work of the Langrisser 3 hacker, we have the know-how to translate V.

Maybe we should ping @RageBurner so we can get this on the repo.

Something is amiss here.
PPF-O-Matic v3 throws an "integer overflow" error after waiting several minutes.
rompatcher.js throws an "invalid PPF version".

The expected input image also looks weird, maybe some obscure image was used to create the ppf patch ?
Neither Redump or the one found in MAME software lists has the expected size or checksums.

[edit]
I compiled applyppf3 sources in MSYS2 and that seems to do the trick.
