Translation description

Densha de Go! 64 Localization Patch

Densha de Go! 64 is one of many iterations of a train simulator found in arcades and across various consoles. This patch translates the HUD and menus to English, leaving the Japanese voices intact. It also supports the USA VRU, converting all the voice prompts for the voice recognition unit to locale-specific English. The train controller and Rumble Pak are still supported, but additional Transfer Pak and 64DD bonus features have also been included.

Huge thanks to mikeryan for identifying and translating a boatload of images, as well as some excellent content suggestions!

There are several Easter Eggs. Try to catch them all! I'm certain some will be revealed over time ;*)

Detailed patching instructions are in the readme. Only apply the patch to a Densha de Go! 64 ROM in native (big-endian) format. Xdeltas can be applied with the similarly-named xdelta.

An impeccable translation!	ch604	2020-10-22	Version 1.01
The translation and patch are well above average, and show that a lot of care and intention was taken when selecting English text. The fact that VRU support is available in English as well is just nuts! I initially had trouble using the patched z64 ROM, and ended up having to force 5167 for my CIC chip and NTSC modes for my ED64. So happy to be running trains again.
