Hello everyone! This is a minor update on the project.

Days 1, 2, and 3 of Kyoko's Chapter are done and are in the process of being reviewed. Day 4 is partially translated and will continue to be worked on.

Long story short, I haven't been feeling well, dealing with my gut and my immune system, which thankfully, is being treated and I'm making progress with. I've also had to put the project mostly on hold because of other "complications", mainly from staying at my parents' place since earlier this year. I came here for Mother's Day back in February, and ended up staying here almost until the end of the year. I've had some exceptional circumstances to deal with, you could say.

I'm still looking forward to getting this project done by late 2024, just before the new Madoka Magica movie comes out (which looks REALLY awesome!).
I'll be heading back home mid-November, and start getting the ball rolling again.
Sorry that I haven't been more transparent on these issues... they're a bit more personal but I think it warrants being mentioned in this case.

hi, first of all... thanks to all the team for the amazing work y'all are doing. second thing: my friend recently gave me his psp go to play a couple of games i wanted on original hardware, mostly japanese games with translations like this project. the first error i found while playing was that wasn't able to transfer the save data to unlock the dlc chapter and had to start with a fresh save file. the game said the data was corrupted and that i had to erase it for some reason. the second error were the random crashes but those strangely only happened when the charlotte event is available in madoka's chapter (no idea if the other chapters are affected by this since i only tested one of them), during this story event you could get a freeze screen during: random moments of the visual novel part of the game, the dungeon crawler gameplay in charlotte's barrier and when you're battling the boss (in both phases). the screen freezes and the sound stops for a while until the system soft reboots itself (sometimes it even hard rebooted, having me to enable the softmod again to see my list of games). ok, but... was i able to finish that event? actually, yes! a lot of trial and error and a couple of speedrunning moments later i was able to win the boss battle with homura, advance to the next day and save but here's a little note about it and i think it's important for the research of these crashes... i let the psp go in sleep mode for a couple of day with the game suspended on the second phase of the boss and one day i just grabbed the psp because we were going out and finished it without problems so maybe and just maybe... it's a memory leak related problem? a specific model issue? incompatibility with regions? some corrupt data in the translation mod? hope this can help and welp, i still have the psp here if you wanna contact me to check on dev builds and see if i can advance in gameplay with no crashes or errors, i would be glad to help with the testing of the project since i'm a big fan of the series.
changing subjects... i also had similar problems trying the english patch for sword art online: infinity moment. only when doing certain actions that loaded text or things that weren't translated yet. also tried the k-on game, no problems with that one so far so maybe you guys could research on how that one handles everything, maybe?

anyways, that's all and thanks for reading this extensive text... i'm open to contribute with this project so count with me if you need beta testers on real hardware or via emulation on pc or android, also count with me if you need someone else to translate text because i'm studying japanese and i could be helpful with that (i have been trying the ps vita game's translation too and played a lot of the not translated parts without issues hehe) so yeah, here i am.

here's my discord in case you wanna contact me: @rooftoprun2008 and thanks again for everything, have a nice day

Hmm I know that saves do get corrupted from time to time, but I'm not sure what is the reason behind it. Did you use the saves from CDRomance to play Homura's Chapter? Those should work.
For Charlotte's boss battle, I find that "suspending" the game and then re-entering the same helps with restoring the game's UI. It may also help with preventing random crashes and freezing, especially during the dungeon-crawling sequences in other Chapters.
As far as memory leaks, I'm not too savvy with pointing those out or even on how to resolve them. I've ran into these crashes myself and like I said before, putting the game into "suspend" mode and reloading it helps a lot... plus, I don't lose too much progress and have to reload the game quite as often.
This game is a bit buggy, and I think it's that way regardless of whether the translations are in place or not. However, I'll try to see what I can do with error logs and maybe investigate on it further. I appreciate the feedback and your findings. I may shoot you a message on Discord sometime soon and take it from there.



Thank you all, and I'll keep you all updated. Take care.

Texture files? Which ones are you interested in?

Hi, just wanted to greet and thank you again for the project. Im enjoing it right now. Good to know that you feel better!

 

[manganelo]

This is greatly appreciated. Thank you very much for working on this project.

 

[Carlitos]

Hello guys, thanks for the support as always! This is just a small update to the status of the project.
Kyoko's Chapter is translated, up to Day 11 (with revisions and some editing needing to be made). We hope to translate the game up to a proper middle point, so that another patch can be released.
Take care!

I know this is kinda off-topic, but I really hope we'll get an HD texture pack for the game as well. It would make it even better
