This wonderful patch is meant to update your copy of ChoroQ Wonderful (PS1) to English. You must own a copy of Choro Q Wonderful (PS1) in order to make this work. Distributing roms is illegal and this guide will not help you do it, this is simply a patch. ==== Included files ==== - README.txt Thank you for reading this. - WonderfulENGPatch.ppf This is the regular game translated as it was released in 1999 with a few changes. - WonderfulENGPatchMODDED.ppf This is a modified version of the translation based on feedback to reduce backtracking prominent in old games. This is the version I'd recommend for streamers or people who just want to experience the game, but want less 1999 jank. ==== Install Instructions ==== - Duckstation Emulation - 1. Copy and paste the WonderfulENGPatch.ppf into the same location as the game file you run in Duckstation. 2. Rename the file to the exact same name as your game, ex: Choro Q Wonderful (Japan).bin Choro Q Wonderful (Japan).cue Choro Q Wonderful (Japan).ppf <- the patch renamed WonderfulENGPatch.ppf <- Will not work, rename it 3. The option to enable auto patching in Duckstation is Settings > Console, then at the bottom check "Apply Image Patches." 4. Play! - Other Emulation - 1. Use a program like ppf-o-matic to apply the patch to your game file, it will generally want the .iso (disc), and the WonderfulENGPatch.ppf. (Be sure to -NOT- apply the patch to your original version otherwise you won't be able to undo it!) 2. Play! You will know if your translation was properly installed because when the game boots there is a red "Translated" that hightlights under the welcome. FAQ 1. Help, I don't have the .iso file, mine is in .bin/.cue! PSX games tend to be in .bin/.cue format when they are played on emulator because that's an easy way to list CD Data. In order to apply the patch like the second method, you might have to use a program like ISO buster to convert your .bin/.cue into a .iso. (For IsoBuster: Open the .bin file, then File > CD > Extract CD > Raw (*.bin). THEN in the save as type dropdown, choose .iso.) 2. How faithful is this translation? It's as faithful as I can make it by replacing Japanese letters with English ones. I can say I have only purposefully changed 2 or 3 lines of dialogue fully in order to make the game easier to play for an English audience. Otherwise, I tried to keep the feeling of every line the same. 3. Is it just me or are some of those words squished? And why do town names only get 3 letters? Yes. The way this translation was achieved was by replacing Japanese katakana and hiragana with English letters. Sometimes in japanese a word like Milk is only 3 Japanese letters long, so some changes had to be made in order to fit all the text. 4. Help, I'm stuck in the game and forgot where to go! A gameplay guide was released to help walk through the game, it should help if you get stuck! https://gamefaqs.gamespot.com/ps/562895-choro-q-wonderful/faqs/80233 It's also useful if you want to 100% the game. ==== Features ==== - English! All 1400 lines of dialogue translated into English as well as the arcade modes and menus. - Dialogue that was broken in the base version of the game is restored and viewable! - A few bits of secret dialogue for people who cheat into off-limits areas. - Texture edits for the menus when there is Japanese as a picture instead of typed words. ==== 1.1 Update ==== - Fixed a few small line errors - Fixed an error with drag race dialogue repeating ==== 1.2 Update ==== - Important note if updating from a previous version: if you have gotten 'cake' for will and not delievered it, do that before updating to this patch. - Fixed a few dialogue lines like Q's in the green town not telling you proper Q coins - Altered a few descriptions to be a bit easier to understand - Used an unused item left in the game that has more letters to translate some items better - Included a streamer friendly version of the game that cuts out some backtracking ==== Credits ==== Created by Robert Allen First thanks to the Choro Q Wonderful team, for making this game in the first place.
