Game Description:
Shin Megami Tensei is an role playing game for the Game Boy Advance.
Translation Description:
This translation ports the English script of the officially localized iOS version of Shin Megami Tensei to GBA. All in-game dialogue text, battle text, spell/item/demon names etc. are translated as in the iOS version, with the sole exception of BGM titles in the Music Theater (an accessory function unlocked by clearing the game once). In addition, this patch enables small-letter names for human characters, a function not present in the iOS localization.
This archive also includes an optional font patch by FlamePurge, which makes several 16×8 (big dialogue font) letters (A B M W X a c k t) look more even.
Note that in order to use this patch, both the Japanese GBA rom and the English iOS rom need to be prepared. Please see instructions in the Readme.txt file.
- Update v1.3b: Fixed a couple of texts in elevators and Weapon shops.
- Update v1.3: The currency symbol issue (after battle) has been fixed. Several other text issues have been fixed. The patcher has been updated. FlamePurge’s font hack is now included.
- Update v1.2: The currency symbol issue (after battle) has been fixed (but not working as intended).
- Update v1.1a: Several text issues have been fixed.

The defacto way to enjoy a classic
Reviewed By: Red Soul on 16 Jun 2021I personally wanted this translation to be a thing for years, and it’s absolutely amazing that it actually happened. While the GBA version does take a hit in the sound department, it is better in every other metric, and a great way to enjoy this game with better graphics, interface and general quality of life, not to mention a few nifty extras like a compendium.
I can only hope those involved in this also work on the other GBA ports of Megaten.
