Thank you, I do appreciate it a lot. It hasn't been all that easy, with a lot of challenges both in and out of the translation project. Here's hoping for many more time to dedicate to this game
Thanks for voting me your favorite person of the year... and yes, there should be music lol. Every dungeon has music.
As of lately, I haven't had much time to work on the remaining parts of the Chapter.
Any "version" works fine, but if you do run into the issue of seeing text jarbled and letters missing in the game, make a follow-up post.
Keep up the amazing work!Madoka Magica Portable English Patch 2.1 is available. Yes, we're switching to decimals now.

What's New in this Patch:
- Mami's Chapter is fully complete, with all routes and endings accessible (now with no softlocks). Can you find them all?
- Magic spells have more accurately translated names now, along with more accurate descriptions of them. The Pictorial Book reflects those changes as well.
- The Magic Shop Spells, Event CGs, and Scenarios for Madoka and Mami's Chapter are translated. You can now purchase them without feeling too puzzled as to what's what.
- Minor tweaks/changes/fixes/additions/etc. to earlier parts of the game (many thanks to Nouka and CoyoteMao).
- Fixed a softlock that occurs when losing to a Witch, which made one of the endings inaccessible (again, thanks to Nouka).
Helpful notes related to the game:
- If you want to get more Emotionality and need help finding all the Q Buttons, there are purchasable items in the Magic Shop that can reveal all the Q Buttons for that particular Chapter. How it work: The Q Button (Kyubey's portrait on the bottom left) will glow when certain dialogue shows up, giving you (as Kyubey) a good opportunity to raise the Emotionality of the Magical Girls involved. Just be sure to use the L and R Trigger buttons, followed by the Square button to execute a proper "harvesting" measure. It won't indicate what routes you need to take to find them, though. There are some very good exchanges/dialogues that do trigger from this, so don't miss out on them.
- Farm the Mystery Barriers for more Emotionality.
- Please read the "Tutorials/Tips" from the Pictorial Book. They're super handy and can help you navigate the game much easier.
Side commentary:
- This game is, from my very limited testing, very much playable on the PS Vita via Adrenaline. I can't say whether the version of GePatch or Adrenaline makes a difference, but the game was tested on a PS Vita 3.60 HENkaku Ensō , Adrenaline v7, GePatch version 0.20. No extra steps are needed, other than to drop the ISO file into your /pspemu/ISO/ folder. I can't provide too much support for the devices, aside from what I've mentioned. Bonus: You can install the PSP custom themes from the game unto your PS Vita. Just drop them into your "/pspemu/PSP/THEME/" folder.

- About that softlock I mentioned earlier: it's really weird. The game was asking for other dialogue files that were never present in the game to begin with. I had to manually add them into the patch. Those using an earlier patch will definitely run into the softlock. Unless the game itself had an official patch to resolve this, it may be the PPSSPP emulator's fault. Regardless, this translation patch will fix that.
...And that's that. I hope you all keep enjoying the game. I also hope that those who stopped playing the game due to a lack of translation do come back. Even if the game takes a while to translate, it doesn't feel like a project I could get bored with indefinitely. I only hope for more free time. Many thanks as always. Sayaka's Chapter is next, and I'm stoked for it.
--------------------- MERGED ---------------------------
Yes, it is fixed. Thank goodness.
I'll send you an early patch when I have enough done on Sayaka's Route
Yey! Mami's route is complete! I can't wait to play it!! I already got shocked with the end of Madoka's route. Thank you so much for your effort!
Are you going to start with Sayaka's? Or do you have in mind a different order to translate the game?
Also thanks for the tips!
