ROM Hack WIP Dies Irae English Translation Mod

[masagrator]

After one week of work I have fully ported Dies Irae translation from PC to Switch.

And everything started from this post that has almost 2 years.
https://gbatemp.net/threads/dies-irae-possible-translation.531708/

Dies Irae in version of Amantes Amentes was very well received thanks to rich and gruesome story that resigned from H-scenes you could find in Acta est Fabula version to expand story of characters.
Game was released by "light" studio and ported to Switch by "Greenwood". Both entities were officially disbanded at the end of March 2019, so practically there is no chance that this game will ever see English ports for Switch and PS Vita don't get any port at all.
Thus why I've wanted to port this to definitive version of this game. And today I can say I have did it with some sacrifices as I'm not good with kanji and kana.

Thanks for this! Switch is great for VNs. Will give a try after I'm done with Robotics;Notes.

Amantes Amentes is non-h for every platform. And is not all age, is 17+ on Switch

Thank you very much for such a nice port project!..

Btw what does beta (Prologue, Before Chapter I and Chapter I for now), and alpha statuses means? There's no English text in Chapter II-Chapter XIII, Wehrwolf, Die Morgendammerung, Verfaulender segen, Omnia vicit Amor and Nihil difficile amanti chapters at all, or they may be just with some non-critical cosmetic mistakes?

Alpha means I didn't play game (on Switch), so pauses may vary (like text stucks until you press few more times), some audio files may not play, some names may not be translated and some text may go out of boundary.
When beta will be released, it will mean I have played whole game and fixed everything I have found.

--------------------- MERGED ---------------------------

Game should be playable from start to end as it is as I have used fast skip to do some validation things and didn't crash at final check for all paths and side stories.

Update: My Old Switch that was used to debug this game shorted circuit related to sdcard slot and sdcard inside melted down, resulting in losing around 100 screenshots showing different text bugs in chapters 3-5. This will halt progress on going to beta stage.

I don't know where I will go back to this project. For now I'm focusing purely on Higurashi.
