What's translated
- All story scenes, radio messages, mission goals and training text
- All menus, help text, memory card messages and character names
- Text in pictures: the controller layout, stage names and mission results
- The training demo videos, plus subtitles for the dialogue in the opening and ending movies
How to patch
- You need your own ChainDive (Japan) ISO: SCPS-15054, a full 1:1 dump (Windows shows it as 1,203,424 KB). CHD or CSO? Convert it back to a plain ISO first.
- Drag the ISO onto ChainDivePatcher.exe. It checks your ISO and saves "ChainDive (English).iso" next to it; your original stays untouched. On Mac or Linux, use the included apply_patch.py.
- Play it in PCSX2, no special settings needed.

Notes
- Tested start to finish in PCSX2. A real PS2 should work too (for example, with Open PS2 Loader), but it hasn't been tested yet; reports are welcome!
- I'm not a Japanese speaker and used a translation tool, so corrections from Japanese speakers are very welcome.
- Known issues: slightly uneven spacing around some punctuation and in the menu help line.
