Hey folks!
Since there hasn't been a successful translation of Rhythm Tengoku The Best + yet, I decided to take a crack at it.
Downloads
Before getting into any other boring details, let's get the downloads out of the way. In order to keep things legal I'm only going to distribute what I have created in the form of a binary patch on the ROMFS of a clean ROM dump. Since a tutorial on how to get the ROMFS file is well beyond this thread I'll just link you to a handy Reddit thread about extracting from a decrypted CIA here. Any other info on how to decrypt/repack a 3DS ROM can be found elsewhere on this forum.
Version 12 (Feb 24)
HANS Shortcut
If you're playing from a cartridge or would like an easier way to play the patched version without rebuilding a 3DS/CIA and then reinstalling the game, you can use the HANS tool to use a ROMFS file on your SD card. Furthermore, you can create a shortcut to launch you directly into Rhythm Tengoku without needing to configure the game each time! Once you patch your ROMFS, save it to your SD card as: sd://hans/00155A00.romfs To use the shortcut, extract the following ZIP into the root of your SD card:
Patching
The xpatch file above was created using the XDelta3 software which is capable of creating and applying the patch. There are TWO versions of XDelta available. Make sure you use version 3. You can find XDelta3 here:
To apply the patch run the command:
Where:
Now just proceed to either use HANS' ROMFS redirection or repack it into a ROM and play!
NOTE: Since this translation isn't yet complete, if you intend to download the updates between now and completion, you may want to save yourself the trouble and just use HANS.
NOTE 2: People have reported that re-installing the game in CIA format has been clearing their save data. I highly recommend using HANS in the mean time, and if you want to install the game, back up your save first!
Progress
I haven't been methodically going through and translating things to keep a tidy list but here's a good amount of what's currently translated. Note: I don't plan on going crazy with the game intros and translating any of the textures since that would be a very large amount of work per-game.

- http://xdelta.org/
- OSX Build (built on El Capitan, 32bit/64bit included)
- 01580a6271177bbb768909154124d3f0
To apply the patch run the command:
Code:
xdelta3 -d -s romfs.bin englishv10.xpatch romfs.english.bin
Where:
- -d = Decompress (apply the patch)
- -s romfs.bin = Source File (romfs.bin is an example name, change to your ROMFS filename)
- englishv10.xpatch = The patch file downloaded from the link above (v10 as of this writing)
- romfs.english.bin = The name of the new file to create from the patch
Now just proceed to either use HANS' ROMFS redirection or repack it into a ROM and play!
