About

The retro classics you gave up on because you couldn't read them — play them and read them. The app reads the dialogue as it appears and lays the translation over it, in place. No dictionary in the other hand, no walkthrough on a second screen. Twelve consoles, from Game Boy Advance to Dreamcast and PSP, in one app. ■ 12 CONSOLES, ONE APP — STILL FOCUSED ON ONE GAME · Pick a console on the first screen and get a screen made for it alone: core, aspect ratio, controls, translation area and game packs tuned to that console, and a library of only its games. · Switch any time from the top-left button; the app reopens on the console you played last. Imported games are sorted onto the right console automatically. ■ TRANSLATION, RIGHT ON THE SCREEN · Text is recognized where it stands, and the translation covers it — you never leave the game. · Japanese and English source text into 14 languages. · Pick how it translates: Basic (free, on your device), On-device AI (Pro, a model you download), or Advanced (Pro, a dedicated server, under a second). · Set a translation area per game. Mark the dialogue box and HUD numbers stop getting translated. · Freeze & Translate — when dialogue runs past too fast, hold the frame and read it at your pace. · 601 game packs — per-title glossaries of names, tone and plot, so translations land close to the original. ■ SUPPORTED CONSOLES · Game Boy Advance — .gba · Game Boy — .gb, .gbc · NES · Famicom — .nes · SNES · Super Famicom — .sfc, .smc · Mega Drive · Genesis — .md, .gen, .smd, .cue, .chd · PlayStation · PS1 — .cue, .chd, .pbp, .exe, .m3u · Sega Saturn — .cue, .chd, .m3u · Dreamcast — .cue, .gdi, .chd, .cdi · PlayStation Portable · PSP — .iso, .cso, .pbp, .chd · PC Engine · TurboGrafx-16 — .pce, .sgx, .cue, .chd · WonderSwan — .ws, .wsc · Game Gear — .gg, .sms, .sg · PlayStation, Sega Saturn and Dreamcast need a console BIOS file; Mega Drive and PC Engine only for CD games.
