M A R I O T E N N I S G B マリオテニスＧＢ FOR GAME BOY CoLoR Translation Guide Version 1.05 Written by AstroBlue (tetsuwan_blue(at)yahoo.com.au) ****************************************************************************** This FAQ uses Shift-JIS encoding to display Japanese kana (characters). Browsers such as Mozilla Firefox (www.mozilla.org/products/firefox) support CJK encoding inherently, but common browsers such as MS Internet Explorer require you to update your system (windowsupdate.microsoft.com). Otherwise, I recommend you download a Japanese-English word processor called JWPce. It is available from: http://www.physics.ucla.edu/~grosenth/jwpce.html ****************************************************************************** My Japanese is very basic so don't expect the translations to be super accurate.
