12 years ago, on the Nintendo DS, a strange game featuring everybody's favourite fairy released:

​

I remember playing Tingle's Rosy Rupeeland at the time of it's launch and found it to be a pretty fun game with unique features, such as the possibilty of going bankrupt!


Skip ahead to 2009, and Tingle got a second release, also on the DS.
Titled; Irozuki Tincle no Koi no Balloon Trip, Tingle's Balloon Trip of Love:

The game never saw a Western release, and as such I never got to play it.

Roll on 2018 and fans of Irozuki Tincle no Koi no Balloon Trip have released their last 5 years of hard work as Tingle's Balloon Trip of Love v1.0 English translation patch:

Well, I was planning on writing a long post thanking everyone and reminiscing about the last 5 years that I worked on this project. Long story short: bad stuff happened during testing, and I've been busy fixing it over the last few days.
You guys probably just want to get to the good part anyways, right?
So without further ado, we're proud to announce the first release of the Ripened Tingle's Balloon Trip of Love English translation patch!

XDELTA-file is Patch file. you have to apply it to original NDS file to modify it.
So, you have to have: NDS file Irozuki Tincle no Koi no Balloon Trip.
this Xdelta file.
Patcher tool (or use online Patcher - e.g. on Romhacking? I didn't try it on NDS files...).

I think I get it, do you have any links to these tools?

Not gonna lie, its a sin that Nintendo didn't released the Tingle games in the US.

Nope. Dunno how's it with external links here..
Anyway go to website Romhacking and check Online ROM Patcher tool in left menu on main page. It's easy.

I clicked on that. I understand the file I need to add first in the ROM-file, but they also want a patch file down below? I have no idea what to add there.

Nevermind, I was being an idiot. It's downloaded now in full English. My flashcart has gotten a lot of use from these fan translations: AAI2, Chibi-Robo Clean Sweep, Soma Bringer, Retro Game Challenge 2, and now this!

So, enjoy it.
It (I looked only on first game) seems like nice one, but quite complicated and long for my taste. But I'm not patient at all, so, this is just my own problem
