[Medarot Card Robattle RB] I made an English and Spanish translation patch/tooling
Hey all!
The game came out back in June, Japan only, and being a card game it's basically wall to wall rules text. My Japanese isn't anywhere near good enough for that, lol, so instead of waiting to see if a localisation ever happens I put together a translation patch. English and Spanish, both done, including the artwork that has text painted into it.
Being upfront about how it was made: I had an LLM do the translating against a glossary of the proper terms (Robattle, Medaforce, Tinpet and so on), then played through the whole game to catch whatever came out broken. It's good enough to actually sit down and enjoy the game, but it isn't a real localisation, so go in expecting the odd clunky line. If you spot one it's a quick fix and everyone gets it.
It runs on emulator or on a modified Switch, works on both Kabuto and Kuwagata, and it patches your own dump. It's also set up so anyone can add their own language without touching code, if someone fancies doing French or Portuguese.

Thanks! Hope someone else finally gets to play this thing.
