Assault Suit Leynos Re-Localization

This is a full retranslation of Assault Suit Leynos, originally released in Japan for the Sega Mega Drive in 1990 and later localized in the West as Target Earth.

 

The original western localization was heavily censored and simplified, removing key story elements such as:

• The romantic exchanges between two characters.
• Multiple death scenes (including a full cutscene at the end of Episode 3 and another later in the game).

This patch restores all the removed content and brings additional improvements. The ROM size was expanded to 8Mb (1MB) to allow for:

• Unique introduction screens for every mission.
• Variable Width Font (VWF) for cleaner, more readable dialogue.

Two patches are available:

• Assault Suit Leynos Retranslation 1.0.ips
  • Includes Translation, VWF and Custom Stage Backgrounds.

• Assault Suit Leynos Retranslation 1.0 (No BGs, no VWF).bps
  • Translation only (No VWF or Custom Backgrounds).

The patches must be applied on the Japanese ROM, not the US/EUR!
