  "description_en": "Reconstructs the Sega Saturn RPG Panzer Dragoon Saga as native C++, rewriting the game’s SH-2 routines for its kernel, field, town, battle, menu and audio systems. The rewritten code loads the user’s original disc files and reads their tables by Saturn address, rendering through bgfx and SDL with ImGui debugging views. README calls the project very early: the opening is semi-playable, with bugs, up to the Arachnoth battle, and no byte-matching rebuild is attempted.",
