FAQ:
Q: Are you going to replace the Japanese voices?
A: No. Not only are they quite charming, it'd be like making Ryu scream "DRAGON PUNCH!"
Q: How "literal" is the translation/localization?
A: The "story" is non-sensicle and really just serves and a silly reason for the bomber battle to happen. That being
said, we tried our best to stay in the spirit of the game while still having all the text fit.
Q: Title screen staying Japanese?
A: For now, good news is you already know the name of the game you're playing.
Q: Why do the Shiro Patreaons get BETAs?
A: It is my way of helping them get more subs, and me getting involved BETA testers. I previously released betas to the
public and didnt get a ton of feedback TBH.
Q: How much do you want for this patch?
A: Its free, don't pay for it. Pipe Dream Games is going to sell repros of this with my permission
Q: Do you have a pateon or anything?
A: No patreon, I don't want to feel obligated to work on things when I'm not up for it. You can buy me a donut
if you want to. Pay Malenko using PayPal.Me
(I’d also love a doughnut, especially if it’s Dunkin - we don’t have Dunkin Donuts over here! -SoloNerfherder)
Q: Do you think people read the readme?
A: No.
Q: Where did you hide Craig Stadler?
A: There is a special cheat code to replace Deral with Walrus done at the character select screen.
JK, no Papa Craig this time.
