So I went and translated the N64 iteration... 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! https://www.dropbox.com/s/suqvxab9l04ocjn/Densha%20de%20Go%2064.v101.7z?dl=0 Detailed patching instructions are in the readme. Only apply the patch to a Densha de Go! 64 ROM in native (big-endian) format. It's an xdelta patch, so using xdelta is recommended. For identification, your presumably self-dumped-or-otherwise-not-illegally-obtained ROM should have checksums of: Internal17C54A614A83F2E7 MD5772FA166E5DB51EFFC77FB8D832AC4D2 SHA5121B19191C1B9AE83FA707FF966C4B9632D196857BF3FEFE58004E61348A599D667AE9D067CCBEE7F7F6BDF8E205780368FE2107ADFCA96DDB56D260289260D843 Emulators can be hit-and-miss. There's some info in the readme about that too. Just in case anybody gets any funny ideas, I've never poked around inside any Windows binaries before. The PC games are amazing and all, but I am, and likely will always remain, a humble N64 hacker. Edited by Zoinkity, Apr 18 2017, 01:54 AM.

Fantastic! Thank you for this, I've always wondered about the little flavor text on the train intro screens. |

It isn't a terribly literal translation--they did have to fit into the boxes after all--but here's all the train descriptions appearing in this game. 201 Series These energy-efficient DC commuter EMUs sport a thyristor chopper traction system.
