Over a year in the making, I'm very excited to announce the release of our English translation patch for "Cool Cool Toon" on the SEGA Dreamcast! This has easily become my favorite rhythm game for the DC. Hopefully you all fall in love with it too!



To download the patch, head on over to the GitHub project page (linked below). Be sure to skim the README to learn about what's changed with this translation patch, along with some brand-new bonus content that I've baked directly into the disc!

The awesome launch trailer seen above comes courtesy of one of the project's @GGDreamcast. I couldn't have done it without him and the rest of my incredible team: translators @popomocco and @Cargodin, and graphic artist @YuviApp.

Hi Derek,

On my console, the English patched version of Cool Cool Toon runs in 50hz, which obviously breaks the music and timings completely. I tested the game using the direct download link and also by patching the original NTSC-J version myself, it was the same issue both times.

I have a PAL console with clone GDEMU.

The non-patched version of the game runs at 60hz with no issues.

Interesting. There's literally nothing I changed that would affect 50/60hz, so I'm confused as to why this is happening. If any other PAL console users can chime in, I'd appreciate it.

EDIT: I sent you a DM, LeSpank.

EDIT 2: What kind of cable are you using? SCART, composite, VGA, component?

EDIT 3: I found out they're using SCART. Had a friend test on PAL console with VGA, didn't occur. Waiting on another friend to test over SCART. Will try to address in patch update if necessary.

EDIT 4: Okay, have had SCART PAL users confirm. Interesting issue! I will try to fix and release update. For now, ODE users might have luck with this version of the patch (GDIs only)...

if anyone has a gdemu and for fun wants to have a cool cool toon theme you now can, i have added two themes i made to my gdmenu theme manager app

here is a preview of both, just bare in mind these are low quality previews and the actual themes should look perfect.

Cool Cool Toon #1


Cool Cool Toon #2


you can of course choose the font color

PAL console owners using SCART, I have verified the 50hz issue. It's real, sadly...

I'm trying to work on a patch update, but I don't have a PAL console on which to test. Below is a test CDI and GDI that I'd appreciate any PAL+SCART users giving a try and reporting back.

Please note that this game is apparently broken in 50hz mode (duh), so if you actually have a 50hz display, there's nothing I can do for you. However, if you're using a SCART cable along with a scaler (e.g., OSSC, RetroTink 5X), whatever fix I eventually develop will have you covered.

May I also take this opportunity to lament PAL gaming consoles in general

Haha! That's a fair statement [emoji14]

Thanks again for looking in to the issue and I'll check out the new patch asap.

And feel free to contact me if you need a PAL guinea pig to test in future.
