Hacking Phantasy Star Portable 2 Infinity - English Translation

[MrFwibbles]

PRO Online is custom firmware that enables PSP 2000s and 3000s to connect to coldbird.net and play adhoc multiplayer via the Internet. PSP2(/i) does work with it though, there's video proof of it on Youtube.

Sounds good, saves some hassle especially for ad-hoc only games

Hi, I've been following the progress on this project for awhile. Wanted to sign up and say i'm very excited to see this is a thing, psp2i is a great game and this would be a great way to get back into playing again rather than trying to figure out and memorize what menu options etc do what.. again. Good luck to those working on it, looking forward to testing it!

I use the PPSSPP emulator with evolveHq, works for psp2 and psp2i me and my friends play it a lot that way. Find playing it on the emulator lot more enjoying no crabing and can make it look really nice and clear

translation is dead?

 

[MrFwibbles]

...Who said that? It wasn't anyone on the team.

Haha love this guy

 

[JamRules]

Fixed some of the UI windows as the previous English releases had bigger boxes than the Japanese versions

Looks so good. Great job Jam. (I'm curious how the patch will be handled once it's released.) Edit: I'm was tired, I'm a moron. Lol

 

[JamRules]

We won't be distributing an .iso, probably just a .xdelta patch for people to use with backups from their own UMDs...

 

[xBladeM6x]

Edit: I was tired, I'm a moron. Lol

 

[JamRules]

I suppose the important question for someone like me is, will I be able to patch the .iso and play it on PPSSPP? (sorry if this has been answered a million times already)

Yes, screens are from PPSSPP, there's now an option to fix the graphic problems from before

 

[Atlas_Noire]

I assume you still have a lot of work to do in those screen shots. Either way, nice progress report Jam and great job.

 

[MrShyCity]

that screenshot its beautiful great job

Must be one of the lucky few who it works on Windows 7 for. Tried it, and still can't get into missions. Not a big deal though. I'm not in a rush, and can just wait for Windows 10.

I'm using the latest PPSSPP build work just fine and I have shitty Windows 8.1

Awesome, and yeah, the depth fix is great. Been playing the game fairly frequently since they updated it. Though I imagine this translation project has made your ability to just play the game and enjoy it a bit more difficult. I ran a Minecraft server for 3 years, and it totally burned me out since doing it. Lol.

Just a question and which I think has been asked a hundred times already, how is online multiplayer on ppsspp?
And also this may probably sound stupid but, how do you set up UPNP on windows 8?

 

[MrShyCity]

I have not tried it myself yet since no one play it coldbird.net server and I'm more focus on playing the story mode

>_>

So many new pictures, what a great undead project!

How's the actual translation going? At this point there should be very little to nothing remaining in japanese.

Adding to Atlas question, what about lag? This is the dealbreaker to online play for me.

Y-yeah guys, for use with your own umd only... ;D

PSP2i multiplayer works great on PPSSPP, the biggest problem I've noticed is that sometimes joining players have to keep joining because it shows that they aren't in the game on their screen. It takes a few tries but eventually everyone gets settled in. Havent experienced any lag and everyone is usually in sync with the spawns. The people I play with and I have good internet though. Of course if you can't get it working, theres always the option to just use a PSP with something like xlink kai. But playing with a dualshock 4 or 360 controller at a solid 30fps with no drops sure makes it more enjoyable.

For clarification, I'm a moron for not remembering that only UMD exists. I'm sorry, I was deliriously tired, and clearly very confused. I have edited my previous posts. ;P

Yeah, the online, and the ability to remap with a controller is amazing. (mapped it to play like Phantasy Star Universe on 360) Though the issue still stands for online play that the host has to be someone on Windows 8/8.1/10 or the ever so lucky Windows 7 user, in order for the unlucky lot like me on Windows 7 to be able to play the multiplayer portion of the game.
