Pleasure Hearts (MSX)
                               English Patch

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------

From the manual:

STORY:

A world where guns, swords, and gears meet...

[PLEASURE HEARTS]
A shining jewel, said to give its owner control of everything...

Now, seeking the phantom jewel, two young heroes travel the skies on iron 
wings!

Mihara Shia (Shia)   [A phantom jewel, huh...]
Takahara "Swordsman" Kento (Han) [......]
Shia [Once I have it, I'll give it to someone and tell them how I feel...]
Han  [...Is that so?]

...After overcoming many obstacles, the two finally reached the place where
the jewel was sealed. An old floating castle where the ancient living weapon
[PREMIUM HEARTS] is said to dwell.

Shia [...We've been through a lot, but this is the final battle at last...]

Han  [...Yes...]
Shia [...You must...stay alive...]
Han  [...You too.]

Full throttle, the two of them move towards the ancient castle...

And the final battle!

About:
Pleasure Hearts is a 1999 MSX2 horizontal shmup by M-Kai, who would go on to
create Judgement Silversword and other games. This patch converts the menu,
dialogue, ending, item lists, and a bit of miscellaneous text to English. For
the most part, text which was already in English has been left alone. A few
bits of Japanese text have been left intact, such as some of the names in the
credits and some of the item list. Where I could not identify a clear meaning 
for the Japanese text I mostly transcribed it phonetically. I cannot rule out
the possibility that I missed some text, but everything I could find I either
translated, transliterated, or deliberately left alone.

Items collected in-game are shown on-screen when collected and in the ITEM

items to display in this menu.

influences scoring. These special actions also add items to the ITEM list.

Patching:
The patch is an ips file, made with with Lunar IPS. It is intended to be
applied to a .DSK (disk image) file. The one I started with had the following
checksums:

MD5:    cc86d3600bf2994a7a65852a225a2893
CRC32:  BF81E259
CRC64:  3BD946D4D7E40DD7
SHA1:   83646E9E2BD7451F2B45B9C8CBC15531DAD51CB2
SHA256: 276496B13C64857F5ABDDBD891E3239AEBD9A3F580D5159B4E725F1B0F6F4A10

Because the game saves data on the disk, a differing checksum may just mean
save data is present. The patch does not touch save data, so it may still 
work even if the checksum does not match. Version 1.02 is intended to be
applied to an unmodified disk image, but should also work on an image 
previously patched with versions 1.00 or 1.01 if you want to maintain your 
saves.
