Chrono Trigger is a SNES RPG similar to the Final Fantasy series. The story takes place in many different time periods ranging from the pre-historic days to the end of time. It has a “New Game +” mode and 13 different endings (determined by when you choose to battle the final boss) so the replay value on this one is through the roof.

A new version of the old Kajar Laboratories patch that inserts kWhazit’s updated retranslation from kwhazit.ucoz.net/trans/ct/index.html into Chrono Trigger, in addition to trying to fix all the remaining issues that the old patch had.

The old retranslation patch, and the addendum patches based off it, use kWhazit’s original literal retranslation of the Japanese text which can come off as unnatural and hard to read at times. The addendum patches do clean it up by further localizing the text, fixing errors, and mixing in text from other translations, but in doing so, the old patch turned more into a Frankenstein’s monster of various translations rather than having it be its own thing.

This updated retranslation attempts to offer quality on par with the official DS translation while standing on its own as something different. A more literal translation than the official versions that keeps the Japanese terminology intact but still flows naturally for an English speaker.

As many bug fixes as possible were added to the patch, and an optional patch with some small gameplay changes to spice things up is also included. See the readme for more details.

Version 1.11 - Shortened/changed a few battle messages that were slightly too long, causing a small spot in the middle of the textbox to disappear.

Apply the patch of your choosing to an unmodified, headered Chrono Trigger (U) rom.
