v0.2.7
3e1c5ee

English fan-translation of Super Robot Taisen: Original Generation Gaiden (PS2, JP serial SLPS-25836).

The whole game is translated and playable end to end. 0.2.7 is a cumulative release that cleans up the Ally Unit List on top of 0.2.6.

⚠️ Known remaining work (cosmetic only — no readable Japanese)

These are the last rough edges. They are not text — they are a UI sprite-font that has no Latin glyphs, so the affected cells render as hatched pixel noise. Fixing them needs an art/font-cell edit (an execution-breakpoint trace to find the glyph table), not a string edit, so they are deferred. No Japanese text is left on screen.

Footer button-hint labels — the button icons (START, L3, R3, L1/R1, L2/R2) draw fine, but the little labels beside them render as noise:

Footer hint garble

Ally Unit List "Movement / Type" page — the column headers overlap and the per-unit movement-rank separators (\) are garbled (the La = Land values themselves are correct):

What changed in 0.2.7

  • The Ally Unit List no longer shows \\\\\ under each unit. For unnamed mass-produced units (like the prologue's "MP Gespenst Mk-II"), the sub-pilot line was a placeholder of five full-width minus signs (−−−−−). Because the English font is ASCII-ordered, the full-width minus mapped to the backslash glyph, so it rendered as \\\\\. It now reads -----, matching the game's own empty-slot style (e.g. "2 -----"). All eleven full-width-minus runs in the boot ELF's UI string table were converted in place to ASCII dashes.

⚠️ This is the first 0.2.x release to edit the boot ELF, so the PCSX2 game CRC changes from 6C5AA761 to 6C5AF6E0. Save states made on 0.2.6 (or earlier) will not load on 0.2.7 — start from a memory-card save or a New Game.

Everything from 0.2.6 (Spirit target-mode line −Slf／Sgl− + status-label fit), 0.2.5 (Spirit-menu legend + English terrain tile names), 0.2.4 (per-unit Ai / La / Se terrain glyphs), 0.2.3 (Spirit-menu crash fix), 0.2.2 (centered command menu), 0.2.1 (full-width Objective screen), and 0.2 (English chapter splashes, status-screen fixes, battle banners, English boot slide) is included.
