Super Wrestle Angels - English Translation Patch v0.2 Fixes and Cards

Super Wrestle Angels English Patch v0.2 — fixes from player feedback

An update to the English translation of Super Wrestle Angels (Super Famicom, 1994, released only in Japan). Thanks to everyone who reported problems with v0.1 - this release fixes them.

The whole game is translated and every mode has been played through. Not yet tried: 3-4 player promoter games (multitap). Please keep reporting problems on the Issues page.

What's new in v0.2

• Move cards redrawn so you can tell them apart at a glance in a fast match: T L S F in the colours of the original kanji, and the OTHER, finisher and double-team cards as white symbols (O, star, +) on solid colours. The finisher and double-team cards were still in Japanese.
• Naming wrestlers and promotions: the name entry's kanji page is now PAIRS, two-letter pieces in the same narrow letters as the rest of the English, so names can be up to 20 letters.
• Wrestler data screen in Exhibition, League and Tournament: the move type buttons (THR LCK STK FLY OTH) were still in Japanese.
• Leftover wide text now uses the English letters: the foreign promotions (IWWF, WWCA, EWA, GWA, AAC, JWI, WARS), also in the alliance menu; Lv1-8, 1P/2P/3P/COM, AP, STF/DDT, IN/OUT, ON/OFF and the "&" between tag champions.
• Move names: Uranage (was "Throw"); the Northern Lights Suplex finisher is "N.Lights Suplex" (was "Hokuto-plex").
• New promoter game: the CPU promotions' names line up against PRO.

The full list is in CHANGELOG.md.

Super Wrestle Angels (English)	The English translation.

How to patch

You need your own copy of the original cartridge, as a ROM file (.smc). It is not included.

• Game: Super Wrestle Angels, SHVC-AWAJ-JPN.
• Your .smc must be 1,572,864 bytes, CRC32 b697f8a0, SHA-1 1897062b952636ce0d2f9b714c7cd0b08cdc340b.

1. Apply the .bps to your original .smc (not to a ROM already patched with v0.1) with Rom Patcher JS (in your browser), Floating IPS (Flips) or MultiPatch (macOS).
2. Open it in your emulator. Tested in Mesen 2.

README.txt in the zip has the same instructions and the checksums of the patched image.

Saves: saves from v0.1 should carry over (not yet tested with a real save). In a promoter game started on v0.1, the alliance menu keeps the old wide promotion names; a new game shows the English ones. Saves from the Japanese version show names as random letters - start a new game.

Known issues

• Numbers use the game's own wide digits, so they look bigger than the letters around them.
• Left in Japanese on purpose: the title logo and words drawn into a few event pictures (the scenes explain themselves).

Super Wrestle Angels - English Translation Patch v0.1

Super Wrestle Angels English Patch v0.1 — first public release

An English translation of Super Wrestle Angels (Imagineer, 1994), the Super Famicom women's
pro wrestling game that was only released in Japan.

The whole game is translated and every mode has been played through, but only by a few people so
far. If anything looks wrong, please open an issue with a screenshot.

What's translated

• All four modes: Exhibition (singles, tag, trios), Promoter, League and
  Tournament, and the system menu.
• About 1,340 messages: match commentary, the promoter mode's monthly events, scouting and tryout
  talks, wrestler profiles, the year-end rankings and the ending.
• All 60 wrestlers' names, the move names and the 8x8 menu text.
• The labels, buttons and banners that are drawn as graphics: the menu bar, title menu, stat
  buttons, START / WATCH / SKIP, show banners (SOLD OUT, PACKED, FULL), the award banners and
  the winner's certificate.

Start a new game. Battery saves from the Japanese version will show garbled names.

Known issues

• Names are drawn two letters at a time, so a name with an odd number of letters ends in a space
  before punctuation ("Pacific 's").
• Still in Japanese, on purpose: the title logo and a few words drawn into event pictures.
• Name entry's kanji page is blank (its characters are used for the English letters).
• Not tried yet: 3-4 player promoter games (multitap).

If you want to know how promoter mode works - the month, the menus, the events and what decides
the ending - see docs/PROMOTER.md.
