Isn't it possible to put in some kind of hook in an emulator ?
A hook is also used in fMSX to intercept the disk I/O. Create a
unique ID for each text and provide a translation table. The
hook needs to be called with this unique ID and a special piece
of Z80 code can read the text through an I/O port or a memory
mapped address provided by the emulator.
This way you CAN play the game , eventhough some people
would rather play it on a real MSX...
