USER TEST
User confirmed ERROR DIAGNOSTICS loads normally and all menus are responsive on 2026-10-16. The 19 error/diagnostic locations were not individually triggered or observed.

CHECKED
- All 5,013 indexed main messages: no Japanese visible text.
- All 674 description/biography entries: no Japanese visible text.
- All 53 officer-name reading lines: Roman letters.
- All 311 previously reviewed executable text locations now translated.
- All 49 locations from the previous remaining-text list rechecked in the latest copy.
- Short-string pointer scan across eight executable modules: no new readable text.
- All 187 filesystem files checked for recognizable sector-aligned text tables; 34 text-bearing resources scanned for Japanese strings.

WHAT STILL CONTAINS JAPANESE
Font and name-entry character palettes, internal save identifiers, disc metadata/copyright text, two unused old message slots and one dash marker remain intentionally unchanged.
The other apparent Japanese matches are previously reviewed machine-code or binary-data matches. None is a new verified gameplay sentence or label.

LIMITS
This scan cannot guarantee every screen is English. Text drawn into graphics or video, compressed resources and unrecognized encodings can still contain Japanese.
Any additional visible Japanese encountered during play can be reviewed for a later revision.

PRESERVATION
All 102 original, previous-test and current-test BIN/CUE/audio files matched their recorded hashes before and after.
No disc, save or emulator-setting files were changed during the scan.
