Over the past decade, fans from the Saturn community have taken it upon themselves to do what SEGA of America would not, in bringing countless Japanese-only Saturn games to English speaking audiences, through full language translations and even complete voice audio dubs! But they haven’t stopped at English, going so far as to translate several games into other languages as well! We’ve also seen tools and utilities translated for use in English, and new projects are being announced all the time! There are several exciting projects underway, and you can follow their progress here as the awesome privateye will be updating this page as new projects are released!

ADDITIONAL INFORMATION

Sega Saturn Patcher

Patches in SSP format are for use with  Sega Saturn Patcher . The latest beta version is included with the Sakura Wars 2  English translation patch .

Unlike traditional patching methods which generally rely on specific tools and/or disc images, SSPs can be applied to any valid image and can even be used with original game discs. It requires .NET Desktop Runtime 5.0.17 which can be obtained here .

Instructions on how to use Sega Saturn Patcher can be found at the bottom of  this article . Even though the instructions are based around the Bulk Slash English translation patch, the same process applies to all SSPs.
