With this English translation patch you can play the game “Super Fantasy Zone” for Sega Genesis / Sega Mega Drive in English (only text and menus are in English). There are two patches: “superfzone-J-EN-v1.0.bps”, which is for use with the original Japanese ROM file of the game; and “superfzone-U-GenMini-EN-v1.0.bps”, which is for use with the “American” (USA) Genesis Mini / Mega Drive Mini ROM dump of the Japanese game.

I'm confused as well. The JP ROM already plays in English on US systems and the EU ROM is already at the correct speed when the game is played at 60Hz (it wasn't properly optimized for EU).

I do. And still don't get.
“superfzone-U-GenMini-EN-v1.0.bps”, which is for use with the “American” (USA) Genesis Mini / Mega Drive Mini ROM dump of the Japanese game.
This Genesis Mini dump already fully in English. All text translated.
 
It's quite confusing isn't it? I'm assuming the description is explaining about the original Japanese ROM made by SUNSOFT in 1992 which already was in english to begin with even when the language and country settings were set to Japan NTSC-J which makes the first patch redundant. The second patch is for the Mega Drive Mini version that must display the language in Japanese? I'm not sure about the Mini patch as I don't have a Mini, only a real Mega Drive.
 
But clean "Super Fantasy Zone (USA) (Ja) (Genesis Mini).md" ROM already in English. Why patching it?
