Tetris The Grand Master: Ace, the long forgotten console-exclusive spin-off by Arika, has been translated to English by Sakimotor.
The game was patched in the span of a few days through hex editing. The text is translated with MTL technologies (Google Translate, DeepL), then revised to respect the usual TGM-related terminology, and the Hard Drop wiki's information related to the different gamemodes features.
This patch is a WIP that is compatible with the game's retail (1.0) version, which means that the ARS2 rotation system is not available here. Online features, and any feature related to Xbox Live, even those that could eventually be unlocked in the Offline mode, have not been tested.
A blog post related to the project's most technical aspects has been written as well. https://sakimotor.github.io/2024/11/13/modding-an-xbox-360-executable-with-ghidra-and-a-hex-editor-in-the-making-of-an-english-patch-for-tetris-the-grand-master-ace/
