Credits

  • Programming and tools: KingMike
  • Translation: Filler
  • Translation and editing: Satsu

Release

KingMike posted the finished patch on April 15, 2005. The ROMhacking.net record is dated April 14, while Matt's announcement followed on April 16. This was the first game translated by Filler to receive a public patch.

History

The project began on January 29, 2005 after a request on MO's board. Because the script was small, Filler set himself the goal of translating it over one weekend. Satsu promptly edited the draft, allowing the finished script to reach KingMike for insertion within roughly a week.

Preservation notes

No patch or screenshots survive in the recovered local directory. The old page linked separately to a disk image and the patch; the rebuilt site must link only to lawful patch distribution and must not reproduce or redirect the disk-image link. Recover the original patch readme to verify its version and target disk checksum.
