This patch is a backport of many of the fixes the Spanish fan translation project did to the game.
While the most visible fixes have been made to Agetec's English localization, this patch also changes some of the world's textures, which are a bit Engrishy. Not all graphics could be modified, so you might still find something odd.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
Welcome to this small patch to fix certain issues that occur in the game
Echo Night: Beyond for PlayStation 2.
This patch is a backport of many of the fixes the Spanish fan translation
project did to the game, and I thought it would be a bit unfair if the rest
of the world could not have a cleaner experience with this underrated gem.
Just like the Spanish fan translation patch, there are patches for both the
European PAL version (published by Nobilis/Indie Games) and for the US
NTSC-U version (published by Agetec, who handled the English localization of
the game).
The fixes are minor: sometimes cosmetic, sometimes of more importance, but
the game never needed those to be played from start to finish (except the
mistake in the astronaut's dialogue at the monorail).
While the most visible fixes have been made to Agetec's English
localization, this patch also changes some of the world's textures, as those
English texts were written by From Software's developers, based in Japan,
and thus they are a bit Engrishy. I was not able to edit all the graphics I
wanted (there is a weird swizzling method in some of the textures), so you
might still find something odd.
Tip: I strongly recommend playing this game with the Key Assign type C, as
it includes dual-stick movement and camera controls, just like what has been
standardized nowadays.
If you wish to distribute these patches or upload them on your website,
please contact me (IlDucci) first. Under no circumstances we allow any
public distribution of copies of the full game with the patch already
applied. This fix is made to be distributed in patch form and to be used by
all legitimate owners of the original game.
