ABOUT
=====

This patch translates the 1995 Game Boy game Dragon Ball Z: Gokuu
Gekitouden into English. It covers the story, intro and endings, battle
dialogue, selection screens, ordinary menus, battle menus, and minigames.

The English was newly authored from the Japanese game script. Names,
techniques, and characterization follow the English Dragon Ball manga where
appropriate. Some lines are condensed to fit the Game Boy text windows.

The release was produced with AI-assisted translation and reverse engineering,
followed by source-script review, strict layout checking, build verification,
and focused emulator testing.
