Recently I've been searching for hacks and I stumbled upon this
ultra-interesting (well at least for me ??? ) project:

QuoteKey features of my translation:
-- Professional quality. No silly graveyard ducks. Loyal to original Japanese text, with minor improvements.
-- Serif font as evidently intended by original development team
-- Increased dialog box size / density allows for better text
-- Multitarget
---- NTSC and PAL can both be patched
---- Mapper support: MMC1, VRC6, MMC3. Game is changed accordingly. VRC6 recommended, but other options are provided for hardware testing on various donor PCBs.
-- Individual patch features can be changed
---- The in-game map
---- Dialog extensions
---- Password extensions
---- Ending and intro screen extensions
not only a Finish/English faithfull re-translation but also an improvement with an in-game map and mmc1/mmc3/vrc6 support!
... the patch-vending-machine alone on the site worths extra points too :o
check the translation differences here (http://bisqwit.iki.fi/cv2fin/diff) and the hack's info thread here! (http://www.romhacking.net/forum/index.php/topic,15524.msg228533.html#msg228533)
I'm gonna test it tomorrow , the project has been updated with better mmc3 support ;D
