Reserve 1 English Translation If you are interested in translations of PC98 games, please consider supporting my Patreon or donating via Paypal! https://patreon.com/nana_vs_nana Paypal: nanoqo@gmail.com *********************IMPORTANT NOTE*********************** This game requires the use of the 'kana' key to input Japanese characters to access a secret menu. In Neko Project II (recommended), by default the Right Alt key is reserved for toggling kana mode. In Anex86 and other emulators, you may have to manually assign this key. ********************************************************** Contents: 1. Installation 2. Translation Notes** 3.

Installation ============================================================ This translation was created in the form of a Lunar IPS patch file. You will need a copy of the original ROM/backup of the floppy disk for Reserve 1 to make this work. The backup I used was in .fdi format. 1. Open Lunar IPS, and select 'Apply IPS Patch.' 2. Navigate to the folder where "ReserveDISK_1_ENG.ips" is saved, and select this file. 3. In the bottom right-hand corner of Lunar IPS, choose the drop-down menu that says "Most Common ROM Files," and change this to "All Files (*.*)". 4. Navigate to where your ROM of Reserve is saved, and choose the FIRST DISK of Reserve. For example, your file name may be "Reserve (19xx)(MIN)(JP) Disk 1.FDI". 5. Once patching is completed, start up your emulator of choice (My personal recommendation is Neko Project II), and insert Disk 1 into drive A, and Disk 2 into Drive B. 6. Enjoy! Version 1.02 of Lunar IPS was included with this translation, but you will need to get your own copy of the game to patch it with. Please contact me if you have any questions or trouble getting this game to work. I can create a copy of the patch specific to your ROM, or point you in the right direction to finding a copy of the game. ============================================================ 1. *Translation Notes* ============================================================ Thanks again for taking the trouble to download the patch for this game. This is my first completed translation project, and I am overjoyed that you have taken the time to check it out. While for the most part things were able to translate somewhat smoothly into English, I did choose to shorten a couple of monster names in order to fit combat options in whole, readable English words. I chose to rename "Manticore" (マンティコア) to "Mandy," as the game files refer to Manticore as such. I found this to not only be slightly cuter, but it helped me out in the end as well. Aside from that, I renamed "Crawling Kelp" to simply "Kelp" as the number of characters it saved me for using elsewhere was monumentally useful. ============================================================ 3.
