Super Robot Taisen Alpha for Dreamcast - English Translation V0.0.1 (Demo)

[Gyasuke]

About

This is a active project aiming to translate to english the main story of Super Robot Taisen Alpha for Dreamcast, because of my lack of knowledge, for now my only focus is the main story.

Screenshots

Progress

Strategy Style (Missions where you see your mechas): Completed up to Chapter 8, Super Robot Route.

VN Style (Visual novel type gameplay were you only see the character and texbox): Completed up to Chapter 8. Super Robot Route.

Dialogue lines inserted: 3731 in total for now.

AI Transparency

The dialogues are translated using Claude, but checked manually.

Texture Replacement (Optional)

Because my lack of knowledge to point were the menus and interfaces of the game, I decided to try a workaround, its not ideal but its better than nothing.

Currently translation with textures.

Unit accion menu (Move, spirits, transform, etc)

Strategy style menu (Phase end, system, quick save)

Some images at the beginning of the game with lore.

The first wall of text.

Text in the map screen, see last screenshot.

I'm currently looking for more textures that can be used.

Patch

You can find here a bps patch created automatically by the tool and a Xdelta created by me.

Apply the one you like to the track03.bin of Super Robot Taisen Alpha for Dreamcast v1.016 (2001)(Banpresto)(JP)[!][1M1]

[Super2]

You are amazing and this is brilliant. Thank you so much for this.

(And its a great idea to prepare a demo so that players can play test it)

Thank you for the love put into the detail of getting the names correctly. I shudder to think what AI would have done to words like Kikaiju from the universe of Mazinger Z.

Mechanical Beast or Mecha Beast, that's how the IA named them before I instructed it directly to translate like this, I think that the oficial name Mecha Best right now is from enemies in the Getter series.

In the anime adaptation of Getter Robo, they're denounced as Mechasaurus, and created from the Dinosaur Empire. I double checked the lineup for SRT a and it's the original Getter Robo and it's sequel G, so that's Mechasaurs.
