COOL COOL TOON… TRANSLATED!

Almost an entire year ago, on August 10th, 2022, our good buddy Derek Pascarella (ateam) announced that he would be tackling the translation of Dreamcast’s quirky rhythm dance off, Cool Cool Toon. After nearly 12 months, the wait is over! The English translation of Cool Cool Toon is NOW AVAILABLE to download and experience!

(1/4) 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!https://t.co/DbSXg1V5Pu

And finally proper SCART/composite sync support via the latest v1.1 update!

(1/6) PAL console owners with SCART/composite, rejoice! Version 1.1 of the "Cool Cool Toon" English translation patch fixes issue where game ran in 50hz, and not at all optimized or even slowed down. No more out-of-sync audio or game logic.
