Translation description

This patch will translate the stage titles in F.H.' English translation patch for Alcahest for the SNES.

F.H. originally replaced the title with placeholders as he intended to replace it with SRAM but never did. But the problem is that the stage titles are also used as passwords. But since the password entry was not updated, this made the feature unusable.
As F.H. has not updated in nearly a decade, this project was assumed abandoned and thus separately updated.

Source code to the encoder included.

Passwords are now usable	Bregalad	2014-11-21	-
The original Alcahest translation was great, but the passwords were not working, displaying garbage instead. This is a shame as Alcahest has a very unique password system, where stage titles are also used as a password. Sounds like the title is affected in function of what you do or a couple of choices you make. But in Japanese this was not possible to understand, and with the translation it was simply not working/garbled. Now thanks for this addendum passwords names are usable in English. Thank you very much for this. The only annoyance is that I'd had to remove the header to apply this patch (the English translation requires headered rom, and this patch requires unheadered ROM), however it's a small detail.
