Beautiful. Can't wait to resume playing tonight with a newer burned disc.

just loaded up the new patch and my save and the first long scene work perfectly now. all the writing is with the correct pictures, well done trekkiesunite great work. I will continue to play it and beat the boss again just to check the last small scene on the boat, but I am sure that will be fine too, if not I wll update. keep up the fantastic work and thank you.
**update - I have played my saver through to the end and both scenes are showing the right pics with the correct text ***

I noticed some glitches in the cutscene after you fall through the floor in the twin towers (edit: or rather get teleported). The screen keeps scrolling randomly throughout the scene and sometimes some strange water effects are visible. When I used the unpatched Japanese version this doesn't happen. I'm using the latest patch on real hardware with a Rhea ODE. The savepoint before this cutscene is called "Twrs Vestibule".
Edit: I made a video. Sorry for the shitty phone quality...

Does Rhea have the ability to backup save files to an SD card? If so send me your save file and I can try testing it myself and see if I can reproduce it. Otherwise do as others have done and provide screenshot of the map and scenario flags using the debug disc so I can try and create a save file close to it.
Since RetroDadModernLad didn't report this I'm rather curious if this is something new or an odd bug that doesn't always happen.

Sadly there is no save game backup feature as far as I know. I made screenshots of the debug screens:
Edit: I noticed that the scene glitches differently and a bit earlier with the debug version. With the debug version the glitches start immediately when the cut scene starts with Mullen and Leen entering the room. Before it only became apparent after the teleportation (the beginning of my earlier video)

So I have a save file near it, but it seems to be an inconsistent bug. Sometimes I've gotten it to happen, other times it's played out fine. However it seems that the root cause may be the camera getting stuck and then bugging out with it's movements. I'll look into the control codes for that script in detail and see what I can find out.
I'm thinking maybe even the original had bugs that are being fixed along the way

It's a bug that makes zero sense though as the control codes in the script for that sequence are identical. And it's not related to any ASM changes that have been made as the sequence plays out fine when the Japanese script is swapped back in.

Ok, I think I have something that works. I ended up disabling one of the more subtle camera movements in that sequence and it seems to have fixed the erratic camera behavior. I'm not happy with the change though as there's no reason that should have been necessary, but I can't really find any other reason for why it's behaving that way.
Attached is a patch with the change. This also includes a synchronization fix for Nana, Saki, and Mio's introduction at the Sult Ruins.

Thanks for your effort. The scene now plays correctly for me and I can't tell which camera movement was removed. Imo the fix is fine. It seems to be a bug in the original code after all. It just isn't triggered in the Japanese version.
I've finished CD1 and I found no further problems.

New here. Just wanna say thank you for doing this translation. I've always wanted to play the Saturn version in English, and this is working great (using Beetle Saturn in RetroArch).
I don't currently own a Saturn, sold it years ago, but often miss it. Great system. Kept some of the games though, glad I did, in case I buy one again.

Hey, new here as well. Just saying I'm loving the translation patch so far. I can't do much on the coding side to help out, but I believe uploading some US Sega Saturn Grandia case inserts/manual back-front will help out a lot of people who want to use this on their real Saturn like I do, and want to have it fit right along with the time appropriate (1998) Sega Saturn games out there at the time Grandia would have presumably come out in the west.
No plans on CD artwork, but I can make it if anyone is interested.

Great work @Dalton2K5 your cover looks amazing, I will make a good use.

Define crashing. It's most likely the quality of media you are using. Grandia is very picky about this and cheap CD-Rs wont cut it.
Make your own rip. You need a clean rip for Grandia and to be sure make yours from your disc, don't download it from anywhere. Burn in a good quality CDR in the lowest possible speed. Grandia constantly streams data/audio/video from disc and a bad quality/burned disc will not run properly.

I'm old here but I logged in just to say thank you! This looks great!
The game boots up fine and then as soon as I hit start at the menu screen it freezes immediately every time.
