The Legend of Xanadu receives English fan translation

John Brandwood's team has released version 1.0 of an English fan translation for the 1994 action RPG The Legend of Xanadu. Players use xdelta3 software to apply the translation files to their game data. To fit the English text within the memory limitations of the PC Engine, the team developed a more efficient compression method and additional code. The project used several years of work and contains no AI-generated text or code, the team says.
