I've been working on an English patch for the Japanese Dragon Quest 25 Shuunen Kinen - Famicom & Super Famicom Dragon Quest I-II-III (Japan), bringing together the five NES and SNES releases of Dragon Quest I, II and III.
The collection's menus, warnings, game selection screens, suspend menus and extras descriptions are now in English. The bonus video has English subtitles, while the original maps, manuals and other vintage goodies remain in Japanese.
As this is a Dragon Quest game, instead of using the Dragon Warrior games, the game use Translation Quest's NES Delocalized patches and Rod Merida's SNES Addendum patches, based on the original translations by RPGOne and DQTranslations. All other assembly and translation were made by me.
AI assistance was needed with the technical work, especially the ExHiROM workaround and modifications to shvc.dol that allowed the English SNES translation of Dragon Quest III to run within the collection (this can help to inject the games in 3ds VC).
All five games are working in testing, including regular saves, suspend saves, loading and returning to the collection menu. I'm sharing v0.95 for beta testing.
This is a free fan project. The release contain a xdelta3 patch only, requiring a dump of the original Japanese disc in ISO format.
If you find bugs or some missing translations let me know and try to set the changes for a final v1.0 patch.
