Dreamcast Advanced Daisenryaku 2001 - v0.95 Patch  November 23, 2010

By Nebelwurfer HQ

This patch translates all the remaining Scenarios from the
Campaign and Scenario Modes.  All 112 Game Scenarios are now 
translated.

Remaining Tasks:

The game is playable as it is, but there are a few minor
annoyances that could be tweaked.  I may address these
at some point in 2011, but I wouldn't hold my breath.
There are too many other games out there that need
translating like Standard Daisenryaku: Lost Victory on the PS2.

1. There are several error messages that are displayed when
   you attempt to select a command that is disabled, etc.  

2. The faction names and Scenario names are still in Japanese.
   I know where the text is stored, but when I change it the
   game no longer loads.  This is probably the only change
   that would justify a new patch if I can ever figure it out.

3. Translate the Help Topics used in Scenario Editor Mode.

4. Translate the Advice that the staff gives you.


Those who are interested in a quick summary of what this game
is all about can view the following link, which includes a lot
of game screenshots as well as the game rules.  At the very end
is a collection of weapons that I have found useful in the
early game period.

Dreamcast Advanced Daisenryaku 2001 - v0.80 Patch  June 14, 2010

By Nebelwurfer HQ

This patch translates the Menus used in Scenario Mode and
the Scenario Editor.  The Scenario Mode has a feature that
I was previously unaware of.  It supports a password protected
Play by Mail mode.

Remaining Tasks:

Translate the remaining 25 campaign scenarios from 1943-1945 on the
Eastern Front, Western Front, and Italian Front.  These are the
scenarios where Germany is mostly on the defensive up until their
final collapse.

Optional: (I may be burned out before I get to these)

Translate the 9 scenarios that are only available in Scenario Mode.

Translate the Help Topics used in Scenario Editor Mode.

Dreamcast Advanced Daisenryaku 2001 - v0.70 Patch  May 19, 2010

By Nebelwurfer HQ

All the Dialog Screens that contained Japanese text as part of the 
background image have been translated.

All of the scenarios in the Alternate History and American Front
sections of the Campaign have been translated.  This brings the
count to 78 out of 103 campaign scenarios translated.

This should make the game playable.  There is still some untranslated
Japanese text that appears in the game.  Mostly these are error
messages that appear when you do something wrong.  All the scenarios
needed to play the campaign to a successful conclusion are now translated.

Remaining Tasks:

Translate the remaining 25 campaign scenarios from 1943-1945 on the
Eastern Front, Western Front, and Italian Front.  These are the
scenarios where Germany is mostly on the defensive up until their
final collapse.

Optional: (I may be burned out before I get to these)

Translate the 9 scenarios that are only available in Scenario Mode.

Translate the Menus used when playing in Scenario Mode.

Translate the Menus used when using the Scenario Editor

Translate the Help Topics used in Scenario Editor Mode.

Dreamcast Advanced Daisenryaku 2001 - v0.55 Patch  Mar 12, 2010

By Nebelwurfer HQ

Remaining text on the Config Screen and Unit Stats Screens have
been translated.  All 84 Campaign Mode Help Topics have been
translated.  I estimate that the translation is 55% complete.

Remaining tasks:

Unit Level Up/Convert Screen
Column Headings on Unit Table Screen
Weather Tab in Status Screen
Ground/Air/Ship Summary Tabs in Status Screen

Half the Campaign Mode Scenarios

-----------------------------------------

Dreamcast Advanced Daisenryaku 2001 - v0.50 Patch  Jan 30, 2010

By Nebelwurfer HQ

This patch translates all scenarios in the game up until Mid 1942, with
the exception of some obscure Alt History scenarios. This covers
almost half the scenarios in the game.  See the Scenario List page for
a complete description of which scenarios in the campaign have been
translated to date.

It also translates the Menus, Country names, General names, and Weapon names.
Most Warning messages and Staff hints are also translated. I haven't been able
to figure out how to modify the graphics on the various dialog screens yet.
I am working on providing some screenshots with translated dialog screens to use
for reference while playing the game.

Using the Patch File

In order to use this patch, you will need the Dreamcast Advanced Daisenryaku 2001
.cdi file.  The patch file will only work with hlg-aw21.cdi (805,016,703 bytes).  It is
available at several places for downloading on the NET.

Extract the files from the zip archive, then run the Neb_Unpacker.exe program.  
Specify hlg-aw21.cdi as the file to be patched and hlg-aw21_vXX.NEB as the Neb 
patch file.  When the patch is applied, a new hlg-aw21_patch.cdi file will be 
created that includes all the Translation work for this game that I have completed 
to date. Use NULL DC or your emulator of choice to run this patched file.
