Background: Now for those familiar with the translation
|
|
scene, they might wonder why the hell I'm even doing this
|
|
translation in the first place when there's already one
|
|
that was done about a decade ago. Well, the short answer
|
|
is that that translation sucks and among other things has
|
|
numerous translation errors. One of the more hilarious
|
|
things I found out doing this translation was that it
|
|
uses a now banned "rude" word for Chinese people. Again,
|
|
the old translation missed the meaning of the word.
|
|
There was also a hidden ending that you could get that
|
|
wasn't done. I'm not here to bash the old translation,
|
|
but honestly there was a lot of room for improvement.
|
|
|
|
Initially all I had done was hack the game and dumped
|
|
the script, which sat around my computer for a few months.
|
|
Then out of the blue my longtime translator and friend
|
|
aishsha had asked me if I had any scripts for him to
|
|
translate, and well I had this. After all the script
|
|
work was done, it was time to tackle the various
|
|
graphics that needed to be hacked. Those were easy to
|
|
hack, but all of the graphic design minus the title
|
|
screen goes to DvD. Once again, his work was top notch.
|
|
|
|
Anyway, the game's a shooter and a hard one at that.
|
|
Can't really play it without cheats. The game was
|
|
originally released for the Arcade and then ported
|
|
to god knows how many systems including the wonderful
|
|
Famicom.

Game Tips
|
|
======================================================
|
|
|
|
* At the title screen, hold Up-Left + B and press Start.
|
|
If done right, you should hear a sound. Now, press Select,
|
|
B and Left to enter the hidden option menu.
|
|
If you turn the "Power Select" on, then while playing,
|
|
you can pause the game and press B to increase the power
|
|
of your shots.
|
|
|
|
* You can access a secret stage on stage 4. I won't
|
|
give you all the details, but look for a flashing
|
|
red dragon.
|
|
|
|
* You can get a secret ending by beating the game without dying.

Translation Notes
|
|
======================================================
|
|
|
|
This game uses a banned word that originated from the early
|
|
20th century when Japan was invading China. The word is
|
|
"Pokopen" which is a rude way to refer to a Chinese person.
|
|
I chose to translate this as chink and have made no attempts
|
|
to hide or censor it. Aside from that, the game features
|
|
many things that some consider politically incorrect or
|
|
offensive.
|
|
|
|
After each stage you get a "Xian" rank. Xian is the Chinese
|
|
version of Sennin. Both pretty much mean "Great Immortal Being"
|
|
etc. Essentially all the various ranks are Buddhist gods
|
|
or some other derivitive. All this information might
|
|
not be very informative or accurate, because I know
|
|
almost jack squat about this stuff.

Patching Instructions
|
|
======================================================
|
|
Apply the patch to a copy of the original Japanese ROM.
|
|
It should be named something like this:
|
|
Chuuka Taisen (J).nes

We would be highly grateful, if you find some time to
|
|
contact us with proposals or corrections. Information
|
|
on found bugs or corrections would be highly
|
|
appreciated.
|
|
|
|
P.S.
|
|
|
|
Support the game industry by buying used games!
|
|
|
|
Even if the money doesn't go to the developers
|
|
directly, as the games become rare and harder
|
|
to find, the price goes up, and people become
|
|
more inclined to buy new releases "while they can!"
