Please update to the latest version before reporting any bugs/crashes. Latest version says v1.03 during the game's boot.

Hey Everyone!

Today I'd like to introduce you to the English Translation of the game:
Maplestory: The Girl of Destiny (3DS):

Current Progress: DONE (100% done)
We'd like to present you with the awesome release trailer made by SoyAlexPop for us:



It's out now!

We have worked hard to translate this game for the fans of the Maplestory series to enjoy. Maplestory 3DS is similar to it's PC MMO counterpart but is unique because it has a full story-line focused on an original main character named Mugi. The game features advanced mechanics like environment pieces you can use to help solve puzzles or even as weapons to defeat your foes (things like rolling boulders, lightning storm clouds, etc.).

It's a lot of fun and as fans of the game series we want to help you all to be able to enjoy it too.

iser911 - New Lead Translator (translated 50+% of the game).

Download Translation Patch v1.03 + NTR Plugin for Easy Use:

Features cleaner subtitles, Korean dubbed videos, a new banner with the actual English logo. A small bug that caused the Chief of Leafre to have blank text boxes has been fixed.

Release time! All crashes and bugs fixed. All proofread and corrected. Also we found a new way to create the .ctpk image files that greatly lowered the file size and maintained 100% quality so the patch is now has much faster load times.Here's the links to the update:

New version 1.03 NTR patch: http://www86.zippyshare.com/v/P0BGr8Ju/file.html

The crash was caused by our .ctpk taking up too much VRAM during the final boss because of how big and animated he is. He takes up lots of memory. This and all other bugs have been fixed. This in theory is the "definitive version".

Please update to the latest version before reporting any bugs/crashes.

Spoiler: Note to the player

Hello Player!

This is the v1.03 version of the game. The text has been proof-read and many bugs/crashes have been fixed
since our initial release. There shouldn't be any more crashes but please if there is a crash let us know!

IF THE GAME CRASHES: Please take note of the name of the map where you were before it crashed
as well as the portal you tried to take that caused the game to crash.
~IF you know how to use JKSM to export your save, if you'd like to export a copy of your
save file from right before where it crashed that could be helpful too.

All that having been said, we're hopeful that all bugs have been fixed, and hopefully you won't have any issues.

If you still find a crash let us know here please: https://discord.gg/xkyPhSX

If you find some broken color tags or text that goes of screen feel free to tell us what
the message said and we'll fix it quickly. Or post a screenshot that'd be even better!

Thanks again guys! We hope you have as much fun playing as we did translating this for you!

Spoiler: Easiest way to use the patch

The easiest way to use the patch is to use the NTR plugin Flyingsky has made for use with the the patch and the game. Or you could always check that one iso site.

Spoiler: NTR/HANS Instructions

1. You need the NTR Firmware to use the layeredFS plugin​

​

https://github.com/44670/BootNTR/releases
https://github.com/astronautlevel2/BootNTR/releases/
BootNTR for Firmware 11

https://github.com/astronautlevel2/BootNTR​

​

2. Install it.​

​

(If you can't start NTR using those 2 files make sure you have tick "SysNAND is updated (A9LH-only)" in your A9LH options)​

​

3. Then copy the plugin folder to the root of your SD card.
Copy all the changed files into a folder called "maple" on the root of your SD card.

4.Start NTR on your 3DS and start your game (cartridge or cia doesn't matter).
​

The maple folder uses the same folder structure as the normal romfs uses and as such can also be used inside your own romfs file if you would rather use HANS.

If you'd like to use these in your own game with HANS by dumping your own romsf folder, and then copy and pasting the files from the maple folder into your dumped/extracted romfs folder (replace the original files), and then rebuild your own romfs. Name it 00111600.romfs and put it in the 'hans' folder on the root of your sd card. Then run the game cart or cia through hans in the homebrew launcher.

Here's a good guide of how to extract and rebuild your own romfs: https://gbatemp.net/threads/tutorial-how-to-decrypt-extract-rebuild-3ds-roms.383055/

​

Even though we've now translated 100% of the game, we still intend to refine this to make it better. We'll also fix any bugs or crashes if any come up. Please let us know of any problems you have and we'll happily fix them.​

https://3ds.guide/ Follow it word for word and don't skip. Might help to read it first before you start.

Oh, this game looks really fun. I'm glad there's a translation, now I want to buy it. Always amazing to see fans do amazing work with games, I look forward to importing a copy of this.

 

[ayaakera]

btw, i tried to use the .3ds using sky3ds+ it cant read the rom

 

[WillTheLion]

The first post has now been updated to include the link to v1.03 that was released earlier in a reply to this thread. Nothing new there, but if you're using v1.02 please update.

Hey @WillTheLion if you dont mind me asking and everyone else here that are likely fans of the original PC game. Has there ever been a release of the PC game's soundtrack. I've searched around and I see two discs of music (Disc 1: Memories of Victoria) and (Disc 2: Memories of Ossyria). From what I understand the audio was ripped directly from the game's files but is the name of the discs fan made or does that come from somewhere else? I tried finding more of the music from the game but its always those same results and new areas have been made since the game launched which means more music is made too.

Sorry to get off topic. Its something I've been wanting to ask for a long time.

[WillTheLion]

Hey @WillTheLion...soundtrack...

I don't know personally of any official disc releases. As far as I know only the musics files extracted from the game's install folder exists. Sorry.

following this you only need place the contents of the maple folder in where it says here

• Added a LayeredFS implementation thanks to @delebile's hard work. Compatibility should be really good as only two games have been reported as being not working out of all the reports (due to the unusual way they were compiled). To use it, you will need to copy romfs files (following the romfs folder structure) to /luma/titles/<titleID>/romfs/. Coupled with IPS code patching, this allows for easy legal distribution of game translations/hacks.

So that would be into the /luma/titles/0004000000111600/romfs folder, and enable the game patch setting for Luma. No more NTR needed it seems.

THANK YOU SO MUCH! Playing this takes me back a bit!

So then the maple folder would go here?
/luma/titles/0004000000111600/romfs/maple
or should I leave it on the root of the SD card? I'm still trying to get the Luma working so I don't need to boot NTR to play.

I believe (don't have the game to check) that it's the contents of the maple folder to /luma/titles/0004000000111600/romfs. So, for instance, you'd have /luma/titles/0004000000111600/romfs/inactive, /luma/titles/0004000000111600/romfs/Movie, etc.

Ah I see, so I would need to put the contents inside the maple folder into the romfs folder. So the maple folder doesn't need to exist. I'll try that.

Yes that worked!

Root then like this.

Apparently, I can't load it because my N3DS is running the 11.4 version of the operating system... well, maybe someone will find a way in the future

You can use HANS in homebrew launcher to play with the translation.
The easiest way to enter homebrew launcher on 11.4 OFW right now is using Doodlebomb. You will need a friend who already has access to homebrew to help you, though.
Also, don't update beyond 11.4 when Nintendo release a new update. 11.4 might become hackable.

Well, I don't know anyone who modified their 3DS/N3DS in any way, they're all afraid of getting banned by Nintendo. I had no idea that was even a thing before I stumbled onto this thread.

Amazing! This project has been soooo successful

Congrats

If you search on the forum you can find Doodlebomb senders who volunteered to help people without another 3DS that already has access to homebrew to use Doodlebomb.

Unfortunately Nintendo has since updated Swapdoodle, and you must be on the latest version to send/receive notes. With their update, they patched the exploit.

 

[RemixDeluxe]

I put together a soundtrack CD containing every music track to date. It took me a very long time to tag them and order them properly.

Happy Anniversary everyone
