Let me break it down for you. It doesn't matter what you all think piracy works, I'm done with SAO right now because of ethic. I don't want to touch anything that has been officially translated, even if it's in another system.
If you want to support the game just buy it. That's what I think.
I do all this because we CAN'T understand these games, what's the point if there's an official translation ? (as shitty as it is)
Wow wow Hold your horses my friend. Don't get angry like that.
People like myself, "were"(past) waiting for a translation because of the popularity of the anime, and because of the ppsspp emulator.
Not every person in this world lives in first world countries like you. So please stop saying you can buy the games or consoles.
The problem here is that as I believe StorMyu said previously (could be another member of the team, correct me if im wrong) in order to make english display properly, unlike the exorcizamus patch which used shortform to match the game's own word splitting, theyve heavily modified how the game displays text. For that reason, if they released a partial patch the english would display correctly but any Japanese text would be horrifically broken and just completely unusable.
Its a case of menu patch or wait for a possible full release really (whether from this team or another), that or fork out for a vita which I'm keeping an eye on sales/preowned for, not gonna pay full vita price for 1 game especially with sony charging snake oil prices for memory cards again.
You sir, have the best answer here. How i see this is like "Don't eat and don't let other eat", that's the problem.
exorcizamus's patch, did what someone with no knowledge in programming can, without any help.
I asked them for help, and they didn't even answer.
They underestimate that patch, and now is popular hehe.
...While translations are somewhat of a grey area...
Rom hacking is (and always be) illegal, like cracks, warez etc.
If you mean to a translation guide or something, then that is legal, because you created it.
Mods don't care about this forum. Otherwise, it would say "Rom Hacking and Translations" like it does in the NDS and 3DS sections instead of whatever it says now. About all they do it make sure people don't post illegal stuff.
Ow man, i didn't know that. Maybe that's why every great psp translations aren't here.
I kind of understand that when
exorcizamus tried to release his patch.
