Hack description

Demon's Crest suffered from some mistranslations as well as questionable localization decisions when originally released. This hack makes the North American release much closer to the Japanese original.

Works as Described (With a Small Caveat)GaucheArtist2023-12-08Version 1.0

A fantastic restoration that does exactly what it says. The item descriptions were a baffling removal from the English localization, so I'm thankful that CF has put in the effort to restore them amongst the other changes.

My only complaint would be in the descriptions. The character following the name identifier (eg. "MANDRAKE" in Image 4) always uses a filler tile rather than something nicer, such as a colon. I'm not sure if this was done purposefully or simply an oversight by the author, but for anyone looking to adjust it manually, you can open your patched ROM in a graphic editing tool such as YY-CHR and modify tile 0F4740 to whatever you'd like to see in that space.
