Fan translation

On March 8, 2022, Translated Games, a fan translation group, released a Japanese-to-English patch for the Super Famicom version. This version includes optional files that add the introduction video, voiced confessions, and voiced ending song through the fan-developed co-processor MSU-1 that adds CD-quality audio to Super Famicom hardware.
