I was actually going to jump to conclusions and say "it's not door inactivated, it's door deactivated", but then I had the sense to look into it first to find out where it had originated from. I didn't think door inactivated sounded very practical tbh.

It's nice to find these little differences also. :)

EDIT: Every single version says "door inactivated" aside from Dreamcast, including Revolution. I find it a little odd that even Revolution and PS1 still have the bad translation despite having voice acting.

Well that's the division of labour for you, voice actors won't fix translations, even if they wanted to. :P

It's probably a case of "I get paid either way, why do I care". :P

It's just kind of Ironic that they could fix it on Dreamcast, but in the versions that have voice acting they were just like "oh whatever, we'll just say inactivated".
