A new "Castlevania: Symphony of the Night" patch for SEGA Saturn (based on Meduza Team's v1.1 "Ultimate" patch) has been released. This fork restores the voice acting, script, and title screen from the English PSX version. Other changes: • Prologue Richter missing sprites

The Dreamcast version is an *actual* native port (not just a software emulator with a ROM), so in my view it's DEFINITELY worth backing if you're a Dreamcast enthusiast 😎

Oh, and here's one more! Like so many Japanese games, video initialization is broken if using RGB with a PAL console. This is now fixed 🙂
(1/9) The porting of @GGopicolo's English translation patch for "Di Gi Charat Fantasy" from the PlayStation 2 to the Dreamcast is fully underway! Playtesters are hard at work, and I've finished what I hope will be all of the additional modifications required for the DC version.

(9/9) There are a few other things I've had to do, but the above gives you all a good summary of how things are going, and what to expect in terms of quality. Stay tuned for more updates!

(8/9) Lastly, I managed to hack in really, REALLY rudimentary English alphabet support for the name entry screen. This was entirely in Japanese on PS2 (but that'll likely change with an update), and I don't have time to do a fully polished hack for this. Instead, this is it!

(7/9) There are some other things unique to the DC version of the patch, like the title screen from the first post in this thread, as well as the pause menu seen below. On PS2, the original patch author couldn't modify the textures for these areas, but they're wide open on DC.

(5/9) After that, I also tweaked the apostrophe font glyph. I wasn't too big a fan. I think it looks better now.
