I would like to mention that a small bug was left in the PPSSPP HQ patch, causing Mashymre's and Chara's sprites to be switched with eachother on the Character training screen. The NPJH50681 zip has been updated with the correction (only the .ini file has changed).



While I originally did try to make a program to generate the proper datafiles for reading Higher resolution sprite, but in the end I settled on converting the ones used by the Wii version of World (as it uses the higher res sprites). I have uploaded a sample of the original, and imported datafiles/sprites here:
https://drive.google.com/open?id=0ByfNnBLIIZXvMWhKSXkyMXNUN28
I have, on multiple occasion have confirmed, that increasing the filesize (resolution) of the sprites can cause the game to start having memory write errors, some at random some more consistently (increasing the sprite size of the original Gundam from 96*96 to 128*128 always causes memory write errors on stage A1 when it first appears, even when no code has been changed in the game.)


Yeah, not really feasible.


Technically this solution works, but it has the same problem as the above one with the memory issues.
allrady try reversing it? example from 96*96 to 64*64, if problem still show up probably need some code re-arrangement(and possible hacks for it) i guess it was UV Problem which cause some problem into game directly due different resolutions. since i don't have a lot of time i can't give any *real* evidence for fixing those memory issues, so sorry danikk.
i will look for it later, now im thinking about replacing map sprites that is possible to do.
note: sorry for my bad english and im not a hacker too, just an texture editor :) and still a learning-programming guy

Yo, Nobunaga think you could hook some of us up who can no longer use the ARK method now that Sony blocked the downloading of PSP demos?


I'd also like to state for the record that the ARK mod format is pretty antiquated by this point dev team, so while it works, it's not something everyone can use properly or easily.

Here is what I did I had only Numblast on my Vita but then I found Adrenaline easy installer 1.05 version and it lets you install another psp game somehow :P so I made the easy installer's game the Adrenaline entry point and made Numblast ARK's entrypoint!

Hope I helped you ^_^

all the cwcheats i used for the game (Capital Max max ace points ) dont work i use ppsspp v1.3 its the only game that the cwcheats dont work
When a game is translated, a lot of hacking occurs (due to new graphics, text compression, and other things), which tends to move pointers and memory addresses around. CWCheats (and cheat codes in general) target specific memory addresses, so by changing the address where a given value is stored, that code will no longer work as intended.

Easy workaround, really; load up an unpatched iso, apply the codes, then save at the intermission screen. Load up the save with the translated iso, and you get your effects. Mind you, this only works for static things like Ace Points, Capital, etc. Continuous things like ignoring level requirements for upgrades won't persist this way.

AFAIK, Max Capital never worked in PPSSPP. It might be something about the way PPSSPP implements CWCheat support that's responsible for that.

OT: for those who have Adrenaline but don't have another psp buuble to install your ARK bubble with you can use vita auto-bubble to copy your existing adrenaline bubble
https://gbatemp.net/threads/auto-bubble-tool-thread.436112/

then use the
ARK bubble for Vita firmware 3.60.
http://wololo.net/talk/viewtopic.php?f=58&t=47678#p416112

then when your finished following the instructions transfer your game using QCMA to your PC then back and thats all you need and the ARK will show up enjoy sorry for this offtopic just wanted to help those vita users who wants to play this translation in their vita :)

Funny you say that... I just so happened to recently delete my PSP entry game by accident and had to resort to the Adrenaline easy installer in order to get it back... otherwise that would have worked easily. Funny how things work out some time. I'll Try Geogetski's method later and get back to you guys later on how it goes.

I just downloaded and applied the translation patch today, tried it out and it works first time. Old saves work perfectly fine as well, so I'm beyond overjoyed. I know it's been a long journey for the translation team, but it's well worth it when it benefits so many of us. I would like to say a HUGE thanks to the entire team for not only sticking it out but seeing it through to the end of the project! Not many are able to keep a multi-year project going when the direct benefits are close to nil, so kudos!

Another user reported this was an original iso problem, and found it solved when using a good one. Would you mind exploring that?

Your .iso (game image) is faulty. It's either corrupted (version and/or download), or simply one of the many broken versions around on the web. Try patching with a different .iso.

Tip: if the patcher supplies you with an error, your patched .iso will not work properly. It's as simple as that.
