PATCHING

This hack uses the xdelta format. If you're unfamiliar with this format, I recommend using xdelta UI to patch this.
There are currently patches for USA v1.00 and USA v1.02. 
At least not the text strings. Please report any patching issues right to me.

Q&A

Q: What in hell is this?
A: A hack of Metroid Prime where all the text has been run through numerous languages in Google Translate and back to
English.

Q: Why did you make this? WHY?
A: Laughs. Get a sense of humor.

Q: What spurred you to make this in the first place?
A: Engrish and bad translations are some of my favorite forms of humor. Having really gotten into ROMhacking/modding
earlier this year, I decided to have fun with Metroid Fusion and translate that. This was practically my debut into
the Metroid Construction community, having just sat there watching everyone else hack for about a year at that point.
The few who openly played that really liked it.
A few weeks later, I tried out some of Prime's modding tools to see what I could do with Prime 1's strings. While
not the most text-heavy of the Prime series, I figured it'd be easier, and it's the more well-known game, anyway.
Also, there are no real prime mods other than randomizers and speedrun assistants at this time, so it's something
new, I guess.
So this was a secret project I gradually worked on for a month and a half, give or take.

Q: I still see some untranslated text.
A: That's probably because that text is graphics, which I'm not going to try to go for since it is unneccessary and
outside my realm.

Q: I doubt all of this is Google Translate.
A: It is. Trust me. If I were trying to make crap up, it wouldn't be funny.

Q: Why didn't you build it off an hecl dump?
A: That only works with URDE, which isn't even close to finishing if I recall. So for now, you're gonna be playing
this the old fashioned way. :P
