Credits

People that made this work (In the order of their involvement in the project):

The original toolchain and information: GitHub and BASLQC Wiki.
Riku, the first person to make a proof of concept and to develop a way to inject variable-length strings into the game. Consequently, the author of the above-mentioned toolchain. Their GBAtemp profile and a thread with related posts.
Nysek, motivated me to continue work on my translation once I got the .BIN files decompiled/decompressed/extracted into Atlas scripts. Their GitHub profile.
HoaiTrung97, more motivation for me straight from Japan. Shouted out this translation in one of their own projects. Their GBAtemp profile.
ant08, the source of the English translation. Unfortunately, I did not use their latest available version, since the links to all of them are dead. But hey, it still turned out very good. The translation files I used and their blog.
CommitteeOfZero, the source of the translated backgrounds, as well as translated/karaoke cutscenes. They have a thing on their GitHub called sghd-patch, which is an improvement over the stock Steam translation of the PC version. Check out their website for more S;G-related projects.
theryusui, was of a huge help to me with the .KLZ compression/decompression. Practically they dug up their 5 year old version of the only decompressor in the entire world. Their Tumblr and Romhacking profile.
ilubandroid, provided sick ICON0 and PIC1. They literally look better than the ones in the original game. Their Reddit.

-I kindly ask you to provide the conditions in which unexpected behavior occurs. Screenshots and references to story text are very welcome. Save data would be even better.
-It's for the best if you report even the smallest things. Typos/text overflow/bugs, I try to pay attention to every detail, but it's hard to do so with this massive project.
