Translation description

This patch restores the "Magic Debug Shop" to Michele Di Somma's 2008 addendum to the Dejap English patch, so an already English patched rom has to be used with this patch.

The patch will also modify the font to resemble the "official" font that was used on the Virtual Console release.

This version separates the debug restore and the font mod due to popular demand...

Original work by Dejap Translations and Demiforce.

The Fonts look ugly!redhotiron20042020-10-01Version 1.1

Even in the screenshots, it's obvious that the fonts used here are not only ugly but unreadable. The reason for this as far as I can tell is that the resolution is simply not there on the Genesis as we have in modern consoles. Thus this font that has been used is missing its curves in various places resulting in "hard to read" text. I wanted to like this hack. But the font needs to be corrected by keeping the Genesis limitations in mind. Without which it doesn't make sense.

Unreadable font1HomoErectus12020-04-28Version 1.1

Good fix, but the new font is awful and unreadable. It would be better if the patch will be split into two and the user could choose to add or not the new font. Sorry for bad English.
