The best way to play Otomedius is to buy Otomedius Gorgeous on the Xbox360, this is a more complete game that has the original Arcade mode and the newer much improved widescreen Gorgeous mode. v1.0 - 12th May 2016 v1.1 - 26th January 2020 ==================================================================================================== This is a quest to translate Otomedius into English, all the GUI, text and menus. The speech and intro tune will not be translated, this is difficult as you would need voice actors and would sound crap anyway. Some of the text is not stored as images and would require hacking the otomedius.exe file, this is beyond my ability so this may not be translated. -Disclaimer----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- This translation is fan made and is in no way connected to Konami. ***IMPORTANT NOTE*** These files are for the Arcade release - GGG-J-A-A-2008041801 (18th April 2008). They will NOT work with the initial release - GGG-J-A-A-2007092100 (21st September 2007). Always Backup your original files before you start messing around and replacing files. See the changelog at the bottom for all the update details. =Information======================================================================================== -GGG-J-A-A-2007092100 (21st September 2007)--------------------------------------------------------- There are a few releases of this game in the arcade and it's also been updated a number a times. This is the release you would get from a fresh install of the game from the three CD's on your original arcade hardware. The game software originally came on three compact discs (CDs). -System Disc---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Contains windows XP Embedded, GGG-JA-A01 2007-05-15 0 システムディスク System Disc PN 111793420000 GGG JA A01 -Application Disc 1--------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Contains the program files for the game.

The original arcade game runs on a rather modest PC running Windows XP Embedded x86 (32bit). Developed, fully tested and working on Windows 7 x64 and x86 (32 and 64 bit system). Note: - The game doesn't work on Windows 10 at all. 1. To play with the translated files, simply overwrite the files in the game directory. 2. bms_GGG.exe must be running before you start the game. 3. If you want to play the Versus Missions you will need e-amuemu.exe (not included), also add this line to your HOSTS file. 127.0.0.1 services.eamuse.konami.fun 3. boot.bat to run the game. -System and Player Comtrols------------------------------------------------------------------------- F6 Test F7 Insert Coin A Start Cursor Up Moves the Player Up Cursor Down Moves the Player Down Cursor Left Moves the Player Left Cursor Right Moves the Player Right Z Power Up X Shoot C Burst Attack =Error List========================================================================================= Do not set FREE PLAY in the MAIN MENU or the game will crashes on startup.

Lot of information on how the game files are edited and patched plus a list of the programs I used to edited the images and patch the game. -v1.0 - 12th May 2016------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Finally inspired to start this project again. This time with the newer release of the game - GGG-J-A-A-2008041801 (18th April 2008). Most of my first release graphics have been ported to the later release newer files, some have been updated as looking at them now, some where not quite up to scratch and I was not too happy with some of them, over the years I've learnt new graphics technique and got a little better at the translations. -v0.5 - 12th September 2010------------------------------------------------------------------------- Last version to support GGG-J-A-A-2007092100 (21st September 2007) More custom graphics in the same style as the original images. Mission Complete, Results Notification and Play Again. Also changed the character names and menus in Records section. -v0.4 - 11th September 2010------------------------------------------------------------------------- Quite a big change. Changed all the weapon text, all the character text and some of the user interface text. I've created some scripts to automate the building of the binary files so after the translations and artwork are complete, making the archive files is a lot quicker. -v0.02 - 29th August 2010--------------------------------------------------------------------------- A few text boxes have been changed here and there, the demo screens have some translation done. -v0.01 - 21st August 2010--------------------------------------------------------------------------- Only the title image has been changed so far, it's quite intensive to edit and recode the images files. =Credits============================================================================================ English Otomedius Logo by GameStone Translations and translation graphics by GameStone Extra translations by deadmario Gradius Home World www.gradiushomeworld.co.uk ====================================================================================================
