English translation patch for "Virtua Cop 2" (standalone version using Smash Pack assets)

[derek (ateam)]

Hello everyone!

I decided to swap overs assets/code from the "Sega Smash Pack: Volume 1" version of "Virtua Cop 2" into the standalone Japanese release to create a quick-and-dirty English translation patch.

Was this patch necessary? Does is it have much to offer? Not even close...
