Translation [Release] Spice and Wolf: My Year with Holo English Patch

PhantomGhost · Mar 16, 2021

Hahaha yeah, there is an element of exploration, unlocking towns which then unlocks new scenes and goods, but for the most part, it's the relationship which determines your progress, (and having enough money to bribe people for information with!)

There might be more of a chance to develop a friendship in the second game considering that you can travel with two companions, but don't quote me on that(!)

Do let us know what you think if you give it a go though! I think there is a nice amount of random events and investment oppertunities that mean you don't feel like the game is giving you the same, linear experience every time you play it

I will!

Oh, just curious, but - LN spoilers -

Can I trust Schmidt? Is he like Yarei from the LN? I read the story is original, but just checking.

PhantomGhost · Mar 16, 2021

Yes, Schmidt is trustworthy. He's your friendly tutorial/info-dump guy!

Fel · Mar 16, 2021

Yes, Tutorial-Senpai is good!

Thank you for taking the time to write such a kind comment! It means a lot

And yes, we do hope to be able to make a patch for the second game as well! We're currently recruiting translators for it.

Released in 2008, My Year with Holo follows the adventures of the player, an uncanny look-alike for series’ protagonist Kraft Lawrence, on his travels with harvest deity-cum-giant wolf Holo, as they travel around seeking clues to the whereabouts of Holo's long lost hometown.

The first of two Japan-exclusive games for the console, it's finally available in English for the first time! Part business simulator, part dating game, it features an interesting mix of trading and romance mechanics alongside a non-linear story with 11 possible endings.

Thank you for your work!!!

There is an issue:

After getting all 11 endings, when trying to see the special comment from ending 12, the game freezes...

Any solution or video of the 12th ending...as I really wanted to see it (even if it is just a message, as long as its translated it is ok)

PhantomGhost · Aug 27, 2021

Sorry to hear that you've been having problems! This isn't an issue which is known to us, so we've been having trouble figuring out how to reproduce it.

Could you please tell us how you're playing the game, via Emulator (which?) or on a DS? And are you accessing the special message through the Options/Endings menu, or directly after finishing the final ending?

Hello.

The 3DS... And I just realized i should try an emulator... Will try tomorrow

The 12th ending (special message) is accessible in the ending meniu only. As i click on it, it ask me if i want to read the special message or to exist. As i press to read it, game freezes on the spot.

I uploaded 3 images. Last image is where it freezes once i select to see the message.

PhantomGhost · Aug 30, 2021

Thank you for the information! It looks like it is an issue is related to playing it on real hardware- we'll look into this!
In the meantime, you should be able to run it on an emulator, but let us know if you run into any more problems

linkenski · Aug 30, 2021

Welp, time to play my DS again

Using an emulator, I managed to see the message with no issues and I'm really happy about this!

On the 3DS (using an R4 for the DS game) and that was the only issue and wish to point out that it's the only one I had and I got all endings and CGs with no issues. Finished the game over 12 times (as I had issues getting ending #9 and #10....and hopefully I won't have the issues again as I loved the game so much I decided I will do a 100% CG and endings on the physical Japanese I have (this won't be fun when needing to chose answers...). Same for a second once, hopefully, a translation will be out).

Thank you again for everything!

Both this and the 2 VR games are really short yet they are a priceless experience that any fan of the series will love!

@linkenski We hope you enjoy!!

@Psiho_C After doing some more testing, we think that it might be an issue with playing the game on a flashcart, as it seems to work when booting directly from an SD card, although we'd like to look into this further. But we're glad you enjoyed it so much!!

There aren't any translators actively working on the second game at the moment, but we're still recruiting!

So how reproduse this bug? And in what moment?
I would test it on wood fw (blue gw card) on n3dsxl

PhantomGhost · Sep 1, 2021

Thanks for your help, @k7ra! To access the special message, you'll need to have played through all 11 endings, (or you can use the 'Unlock all endings' cheat which came with the patch). Then, from the title screen, go to Options > Endings, select the final window and press 'Listen to Special Comments'. It should play a sound file while translated subtitles appear on the bottom screen, but in some cases the game just crashes instead.

Hmm... Yes, after I press and it start to play (sound file?) sound lags and game freeze

Hrm, I thought as much

Would you be able to test it by booting the game directly from the SD card plugged into your 3DS, rather than using the flashcart? You might need to install some custom firmware on your 3DS first, so don't worry if you don't want to!

From our tests, it works when booting from SD which leads us to believe it's a flashcart issue, (in which case, there's not much we can do unfortunately), but it's only been tested on one console so we just wanted to try another to confirm that there aren't any other settings which might be involved.

Sorry, I keep sysnand clean without mods
Emunand I use for Luma3ds and GW, but GW not support this DS mod...

I can test this from SD and flashcard on my DSi xl if this would help
