Kyattou Ninden Teyandee (English)

About this project

It took me way longer than was needed, but here it is. A fully hacked, 100% complete Samurai Pizza Cats translation patch. This translates everything, including the end credits, adds a nifty title screen too. This time around, the patches are in XDelta format, not IPS. Due to the changes implemented by MottZilla (which involved expanding the rom size), an IPS patch was not advisable, so I had to go with XDelta. Get an XDelta patcher and let 'er rip.

There are two patches in this archive. One is a straight translation of the game (Kyattou Ninden Teyandee v1.00.xdelta) - most of the original puns and all the original names are left intact. The other (Samurai Pizza Cats v1.00.xdelta) is much closer to the spirit of the US adaptation of the TV show. And by that, I mean that I made up most of the script, added a bunch of unrelated jokes, and made a lot of changes to the enemy names. If this really bothers you, then play the other patch. This second one was made by a fan of the show, FOR the fans of the show. So "accurate translation" be damned, I went all Victor Ireland on this and don't regret it.

The title screen is based on the one used on the unofficial DVD release from Europe. A Romhacking.net forum user named Ridculle created an earlier version of the title screen, but I ended up remaking it from scratch, and only used the little paw things from his original design. So thanks to him for that. I was going to release a version of the patch with a different title screen, but everyone who saw it hated it, so I decided to use this one only.

Plus, the Samurai Pizza Cats patch includes a rendition of the US theme, done by the very talented Optomon.

Edit (by DarknessSavior): Kit apparently wasn't using the best dump for the game when he did the patch. This was pointed out to him, and the 1.01 version of the patch fixes this.

1 - Version History:
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Version 1.01 - July 1, 2012
 Maintenance release - I was alerted by a visitor that the patch does not work
 on the most commonly available version of the game - apparently GoodNES went
 and had an update during the time I was working on this. Thankfully, the
 difference between the version of the game I used and the most "good" one was
 two bytes, one of which was changed in the expansion anyway, so a new version
 of the patch has been created. This patch should work with the NES rom named
 "Kyatto Ninden Teyandee (J) [!].nes" with a CRC32 of 6F1485ED.

Version 1.00 - June 28, 2012
 Everything is done - title screen, script, and additional text. There are some
 other miscellaneous changes done here and there. The patches are in XDelta
 format so be sure to use an XDelta patcher.

    This translation patch may be used for derivative work (such as a
    retranslation to another language) if the original patch creators (the owner
    of this website, the translator(s), graphic artists, and programmers) are
    fully credited within the derivative project itself or its accompanying

    This translation patch or any derivative works may not be used in any sort

 TL;DR: Don't sell reproduction carts of this game translation; if you're going
 to retranslate the game, be sure to credit the team that created the original
 patch; and don't distribute patched versions of the game in any way, shape, or
 form - including prepatched roms AND reproduction carts.

 Buy a flash cart instead of wasting your money on an expensive reproduction
 cart that uses EEPROM chips which lose their data after a few years. Or, use
 a console-based or PC emulator. I'm totally fine with that. Please don't give
 your money to people who profit from stuff game translators do for free.
