A playtest patch is available right now. It is NOT the final patch, just a step along the way. We ARE planning to release a final version of the patch later this year. The link to the patch is after this one little important piece first. With COVID-19 out there, please remember to:
0. Wear a mask
1. Wash your hands
2. Always cough/sneeze into your elbow
3. Don't touch your face
4. Stay at least 6 ft (2m) away from others (social distancing)
5. Stay at home whenever possible
6. Be kind to those around you, these are stressful times for many people
7. And if you travel, isolate yourself at least 14 days afterwards
8. Finally, reach out to someone you've been meaning to for a long time. Now's the time to reconnect, not because you're worried about their health or your own but just to connect.
Special Thanks to Shane Battye for the 1-7.

I'm not updating this main post with the latest updates right now. If you want to see the updates check out the latest posts. The translation is moving very quickly and we hope to have it ready sometime next year (2020).

To access the Controller Pak Menu, hold the start button down and power on the game. Here's a patch with (only) the Controller Pak Menu translated:

If you are playing Shiren on an ED64, you will need to modify your save_db.txt file (in the ED64 folder on your cart) to include the following line (or use the save_db.txt file from
here):
SI=3 (Fushigi no Dungeon - Furai no Shiren 2 - Oni Shuurai! Shiren Jou!)
If you have a 64drive, that also does not have Shiren's save set properly. When you choose the game, change it to 256K before Loading.

A translator has approached me about translating this game. I've passed him the full text, but we're still in the early stages.

A better debug mode code has been created as well, and I will post it after the translation has been out for a while.
Original text (January 10, 2019)
It's Shiren the Wanderer 2. I started working on it again recently. I don't have much time to put towards it, but Shiren doesn't demand much time.
No patches to post yet, but I thought I'd throw this up here to make note as I progress through the hack.
In the interim, go pick up the three English Shiren games out there! I've put quite a few hours into Mystery Dungeon: Shiren the Wanderer for the DS. Great game. Another one is Shiren the Wanderer (aka Shiren 3) for the Wii. The final is Shiren the Wanderer 5 (aka The Tower of Fortune and the Dice of Fate) for the PS Vita.
There's also the SNES Shiren the Wanderer which was translated many years ago by Aeon Genesis. The DS game is an official remake of that.
