A few months ago, Django had partially translated Ganbare Goemon (Samurai), published in 1987 by Konami. It's time now for the team composed by Tsunami and Max Iwamoto to come with a full translation which includes fixing of bugs from the original version !

The translation concerns also the passwords, the intro screen and the special screen when you use Game Master or Q-Bert with this game. A real titanic work !

It comes under the form of an IPS file to be applied on the original Japanese rom. Once this made, you can eventually apply a second IPS file including 6 cheats to make the game more easy !

If you need an help file in French, take a look at the Django version, available on Passion MSX. For some help in English, you can visit a website dedicated to this game.
