THIS WILL NOT RUN ON A COMMERCIAL N64 UNIT!
This is only designed to run on Aleck64 arcade boards!

A ridiculous trilingual variant of Puyo Puyo Sun 64 designed to run on SeTa's Aleck64 board. Full voiceover for endings and optionally for Story Mode is provided. Select "Cutscenes: Voice" in the options menu to enable it. When not selected, the original typewriter sound is used instead.
Japanese is exclusively in Japanese, Korean in Korean, and English borrows the Japanese voiceover but fully translates all text. Settings are shared between all versions and can be changed in the Options menu.
Special thanks (or blame?) to UltimatePenguin for translating the messages unique to the Korean version.

* Please refer to the readme for patching instructions, DIP switch setting reference, and complete hardware requirements.

A dedicated Aleck input panel is required; set the gate on the joystick to digital. At minimum, each player requires Start and at least buttons 1 and 2 wired. A third is recommended. Both players share the same coinbox.

* Note that at the time of release this title is not directly supported by MAME and MAME's Aleck64 emulation is not complete.
Here are (hopefully) several videos of the patch in action on an ALK-ROM01 pcb in an E92 board:
