I have only hshop, translated one. I started playing it a little bit, will this new translation interrupt my save files?
No. It's just a patch. It's got nothing to do with your save. I first downloaded it after installing it on hshop, too. The intro FMV still has the same subtitles from the Google translate version if you do it that way, though. I uninstalled it, and reinstalled it again to get rid of it, because I didn't like it. Obviously, that DOES affect your save, but you could always back up with Checkpoint or JK's save editor.

I think this new translation is basically a big DLC. I've installed atop of the google-translated version and every was great, finished the game properly. When I was done with the story I deleted said 'DLC' and the game returned to old translation, which is enough for endgame, but got a lot of SD space freed.
 
Great work guys! I can't seem to download it though. Is the patch available anywhere other than the torrent link in the description?
 
I think it is pretty cool to have a game translated especially one that is from a genre that the 3DS is severely lacking like a shooter.
 
Hi everyone, does anyone have the game with this 1.0.2 patch already installed?
I just prepatched the game myself using HackingToolKit. You need to unpack both the English patch CIA and the game itself and just copy the files over.

*save a backup copy of the original game in case something goes wrong

1. Acquire the English patch CIA from this thread and the original Japanese game

2. You will need to decrypt the base Japanese CIA. I've started decrypting my files with rom-converto

3. I recommend making 2 copies of the "PackHack" folder so you can easily copy the contents to the base game

4. Open HackingToolkit3DS.exe and unpack both CIAs using the "CE" command, make sure they're each in their own folders

5. From the unpacked English patch CIA:
a) copy "code.bin" from the ExtractedExeFS folder to the same folder and file of the base game, replace file when prompted
b) copy the entire contents of the "ExtractedRomFS" to the same folder of the base game, replace all files when prompted

6. In the base game folder, open HackingToolkit3DS.exe again and rebuild the CIA using the "CR" command

7. Game should now work pre-patched

Bonus: create compressed cart file for emulators
I don't like installing CIA files when using emulators because of the chaotic nature of 3DS's file system. It's difficult to know where games/updates/DLC are installed and if you're installing full games they take up a lot of space. (some updates and DLC CIA's are extremely large as well) This english patch is fantastic, but the nearly 2GB install size is a bit much, so I like to create more portable CCI files to load easily.

8. Download rom-converto (skip if you already downloaded in the previous step)

9. Navigate to the "Convert" tab on the right hand pane and drag your newly created pre-patched CIA

10. Run it via "Add 1 to queue" button, it will generate a 3DS or CCI file in the same folder

11. Navigate to the "Compress" tab and drag your newly created pre-patched CCI or 3DS file, once again click the "Add 1 to queue" button

12. It will now compress the game to reduce its size, my final output was 2.43GB.
*note that compressed files (.zcci, z3ds, etc.) only work on Azahar as far as I'm aware

Hey, I actually found the game already translated! Thanks for the help!
