Translation description

It took me way longer than was needed, but here it is. A fully hacked, 100% complete Samurai Pizza Cats translation patch. This translates everything, including the end credits, adds a nifty title screen too. This time around, the patches are in XDelta format, not IPS. Due to the changes implemented by MottZilla (which involved expanding the rom size), an IPS patch was not advisable, so I had to go with XDelta. Get an XDelta patcher and let 'er rip.

There are two patches in this archive. One is a straight translation of the game (Kyattou Ninden Teyandee v1.00.xdelta) - most of the original puns and all the original names are left intact. The other (Samurai Pizza Cats v1.00.xdelta) is much closer to the spirit of the US adaptation of the TV show. And by that, I mean that I made up most of the script, added a bunch of unrelated jokes, and made a lot of changes to the enemy names. If this really bothers you, then play the other patch. This second one was made by a fan of the show, FOR the fans of the show. So "accurate translation" be damned, I went all Victor Ireland on this and don't regret it.

The title screen is based on the one used on the unofficial DVD release from Europe. A Romhacking.net forum user named Ridculle created an earlier version of the title screen, but I ended up remaking it from scratch, and only used the little paw things from his original design. So thanks to him for that. I was going to release a version of the patch with a different title screen, but everyone who saw it hated it, so I decided to use this one only.

Plus, the Samurai Pizza Cats patch includes a rendition of the US theme, done by the very talented Optomon.

Edit (by DarknessSavior): Kit apparently wasn't using the best dump for the game when he did the patch. This was pointed out to him, and the 1.01 version of the patch fixes this.

Reviews

Great translation, but with a glaring typo	jlancaster86	2020-06-22	Version 1.01
I love the dub-style translation, but it's always bugged me that General Catton is listed as "GOTTON" (which is actually Meowzma's Japanese name) in the menu. But by fiddling with Mesen's debug tools, I've worked out that changing address $28BB in a headered ROM from "36" to "3D" will change "GOTTON" to "CATTON" (this replaces the "GO" tile with the "CA" tile from "BAT CAT"). It'd be great if Vice Translations could integrate this fix into the patch for new users, but anybody with a hex editor and five minutes to spare should be able to work it out.

The game itself it's both fun and very well done as far as licensed games go, but your "Samurai Pizza Cats" translation was the cherry on top. I personally found the text funny and well made for what kind of dub the show has; it seems you used all the cheese yo had, and it made smile pretty much the entire game. The tone is right, and the jokes work well and resemble the ones in the show, and go well with the cutscenes, what more can you ask for? Also the English Opening sounds pretty kick ass in the intro, it's a great little bonus, it puts you in the mood! I totally recommend it, it brings the game to a higher level.
