I'd just follow the structure of the existing EN/JP wikis, all the info is really already out there.
If you can't read the Japanese ones, you can run them through Google Translate or use a plug-in such as Rikaichan to understand it.
You don't need to translate the content, but just having a barebones structure would already be useful and that can be done without knowing any Japanese.

And you're right, wikidot does look a lot cleaner. If you prefer that site and are willing to spend time on building something up, you're free to give it a try, or discuss with others to work together.
It's not really a competition after all, but a joint public service.
It's really up to you guys though, like I said before, it's the players that will end up using it. :)

Sorry for the late reply! Anyway, I will be going to work again on the Wikia (I stopped because I was worried/busy with other stuff, but let's roll).

@Fefo I've given you Sysop rights, now you can do many other stuff on the Wikia, just all me on my Message Wall if you need anything.

The hype is real.
Keep up the work on that patch guys! I'll be patiently waiting.

Oh, neat.
I only got the normal game box when I bought it.

Bought it at full price too, but it was worth every yen.

I only have a PSP go so it's kinda hard to buy a copy I can use. :< I guess I could just buy a physical copy and not use it, but Iunno.

Kinda lame how Sony screwed over every Go owner by shutting down its store. If you could ever get a hold of a PSP that uses UMDs, copies of the game are quite cheap on ebay and amazon.

Yeah I've noticed PSP2i itself is pretty cheap. I'm not terribly interested in buying another console I already own, but eh. .-.

Well, umd loading times are pretty terrible, so you'll end up playing the iso anyway. I bought psp2 and used it only for dumping the game (and to add it to my "collection" of beloved games)

Long Hail PSP.
As owner of Portable 2 on actual UMD and long time player in PSO2 I would be still interested playing Infinity in English. Thanks for this project!

I'm curious, what's been the most difficult part of this translation from a technical perspective?
Everything ;)

Lucky the initial research into the encryption/compression in use had already been done otherwise this wouldn't have got off the ground.

Apart from that it's mainly time consuming, rather that actually difficult.
I'm still working on the UI changes at the moment
