Translator found. Work advancing.

The ED64 doesn't handle saving in Getter Love properly on its own. Using the
info from this post by Kerr Avon, you'll want to update the save_db.txt file in the ED64 folder with:
GL=1

I did some work previously in the
Top 10 Japan N64 Thread, but it was a side project until a few days ago. That's when a translator approached me interested in putting together a translation patch. So, I dusted off my notes and started work on it again.
Previously I had the VWF and Ascii hacks (my first Ascii hack ever in fact). Right now I'm making space in the ROM for the new text, finding the pointers to that text, and shortly I'll begin adding the first pieces of translated text. I'll put up a post with pictures once we get to that point.
Of course, Shiren is on hold for now.

This is the part where I usually recommend purchasing the game or one like it to support the developer, publisher, etc. That's a little difficult since this game is a one off and was only released on the N64.
Hudson Soft developed and published the game, but as of 2012 they merged with Konami and now sell as either Konami or Hudson.
It looks like one of their most recent, widely available games is Super Bomberman R. Otherwise, check here for a list of other games you could purchase to support the developer:
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_Konami_gamesIt would be great if you purchased a copy of Getter Love (N64), but within the last year it's gone way up in price. It was never cheap, but you're looking at a couple hundred for complete in box. It also doesn't really support the developer anymore, but it's still good karma to own the original if you are going to use a digital copy of it.
