They host both JP & USA versions, by the way.

Also, I do not know the path within their site, but they were indexed on DuckDuckGo:

Thought it would be of interest given the recent port. Also why the GBA hashtag at the beginning.

Also worth noting and reiterating, you need a legal copy of the game if you want to try the port. What counts as legal depends on your country (looking at you, DMCA), so do your research.

Also seems like that to get the Japanese one, you just need to go to language at the top-right, and choose 日本語.

the manuals were half the fun. reading one in the car on the way home from the store was a whole ritual

For anyone nostalgic for game manuals like myself, I'd recommend the game Tunic which has a beautiful manual as a core mechanic.
