Playbook and tested tools for fan-translating Japanese retro games (SNES, GBA, NDS, PS1, PSP) into English. Covers tool setup, ROM recon, text extraction and insertion, fonts and VWF, text drawn as graphics, batch translation with parallel agents, headless emulator QA (MesenCE, DeSmuME, PCSX-Redux, PPSSPP), leftover-Japanese scans and BPS/xdelta releases. Use it for any work in a ROM-hacking or game-translation repo, including starting a new game, translating script batches, fixing…
Collected from public GitHub. Every version is saved exactly as it was and never changes. Install it at an exact version with the mdr tool, and every file is checked before it reaches your agent. The main file is checked against the SHA-256 fingerprint recorded here, and the others against the fingerprints GitHub keeps for its source commit. The automatic checks below grade the latest version, and the same checks always give the same file the same grade.
What the file says
# Translate a retro game The goal is an English patch that the user can playtest without acting as your QA loop. Past translation projects lost most of their time in four ways: - the user relayed emulator logs and screenshots by hand; - shell edits mangled source code; - tests that never actually gated a commit; - the user played hours into the game to reach a scene for testing. This skill closes all four gaps. `$SKILL` below means the directory containing this SKILL.md; it is not a real variable. In files you write into a repo (AGENTS.md/CLAUDE.md, settings, scripts, subagent briefs), write a path that survives updates: - plugin install: `~/.claude/plugins/marketplaces/retro-translation/skills/translate-retro-game` (the marketplace clone, kept current by auto-update). Never the `plugins/cache/<hash>/` path this file may have loaded from: each update adds a new hash and old ones get deleted. - any other install: the skill folder's absolute path. …

How to install
mdr add minhnhattonthat/translate-retro-game/translate-retro-game@sha256:c8166da3f3ea0e96The line at the top of this page pins the label git:20261106.1e22afd, which is what most people want. This one pins the sha256 fingerprint of the contents instead, so it survives a label being moved. Either way the exact version is written to mdr.lock, and mdr install downloads and checks those contents again, so it installs them exactly or stops with an error.
