32 years after its PC Engine release, Wonder Momo is now fully translated to English! All the level intermissions and the ending credits are translated; additionally, the logo has also been localized. You can download the patch here, and the patching utility here. Wonder Momo is a PC Engine port of the original arcade beat'em up by Namco. While the gameplay hasn't won many fans over the years, it remains a very unique game as it plays both as a homage to, and a parody of "tokusatsu" shows, with Momo playing in a kid's show where she dons the costume - and hula hoop - of the crime-fighting heroine Wonder Momo. The entire game actually takes place on a stage, with kids cheering Momo as she brings comical justice to a melange of criminals and space oddities. Work on this project went from frustration to elation as I managed to contact two extraordinary people. With filler's translation expertise and Dave Shadoff's technical wizardry, the journey to translate Wonder Momo 32 years after its release is now complete - and never once was there a dull moment. "May you live in interesting times", indeed. Dave even fixed an issue in the game which made most PCE emulators throw a fit in the title screen and cutscenes. The most recent versions of Mednafen, Magic Engine, Ootake, PCEjin and Bizhawk will now play our translation, though. None of this would be possible without filler or Dave's help. They deserve the highest praise. An abridged history of the project can be found on the Readme file, also available through the patch's download page. Hope everyone enjoys it!

We’re putting together a “making of” github repo as well… that should be available soon.

And here is the GitHub repo, which contains a lot of cool tech info and how-to on script extraction/insertion for the game: github.com/4lorn5/MomoTG16

Great stuff! And congrats on the title screen fix, that's pretty significant in itself.
