After 8 years of research and translation, we can finally present you our final patch for the english fan translation of "Time Travelers" by Level5 on the 3DS.

We went through some years of stagnation and burnout. The team changed and got smaller. But we persevered, invested months over months in quality control, and now we're proud to release it!

Click here to download​

The package you download is an app to apply the patch file to a .3ds or .cia version of the game. You're required to get your own decrypted dump of the game.
The app will create a Luma3DS LayeredFS-ready folder with all the necessary files in it. You just have to move that folder to the correct Luma3DS folder on your SD card.

Content

This patch contains the entire main story. However, there is post-game content which we did not include in this patch.
It was not our goal to translate the post-game content, and given how long this project already took, we decided to not pursue this further for now.

However, it's not impossible that the post-game content will be released at one point.

As for what you would miss out on: The post-game content is a kind of life-sim with the main heroine of "Time Travelers" to get to know her better and the world.

Documentation

If you're interested in creating a translation of this game for another language, we will document and give access to every tool we used/created and provide access to all our working files. Read up on everything here.

ok so the first section where it has you pick bettween the purse and the other option - i swapped to 1.3, from 1.2 - and now both options on the bottom screen just say ????????????? and ?????????? - also will i have to restart everytime i update the patch? on the prior patch, it said to choose between the purse in the road or the girl I do know 1000% but figured if I was gonna botther I may as well go to newest patch lol


edit: yeah their now all like this seemingly now?? rest is fully fine but it seems the decision boxes are gltiched out now?

edit2: Ok so rolling back to 1.2 fixed the issue - also on the save thing, im just dense and was removing title and ticket in fbi and forgot to backup with checkpoint and restore - but yeee seems to be an issue with 1.3 of the patch seemingly!

I couldn't reproduce the issue at all.
All decision texts still look proper on my end with patch 1.3. Did you patch on Windows, Linux, or Mac?

And no, you don't have to start over when updating the patch, you can just continue playing.

Sorry guys, I was triyng to contact the other guy, he had a rare problem with his PSP and I have the same on mine, he speaks portugues also. Anyways sorry and byyeee

yeah i added another edit to it right as u replied stating im just dense on the save thing lol - I am patching it on windows. Using the same cia to patch both times and am only changing the patch and installer out essentially - everything else works fine and the game is in english, Just all the choices are varying combinations of question marks on 1.3, but 1.2 is all fine seemingly. took the time to rollback and all that to help as much as possible!

 

[onepiecefreak]

Yo kinda random, eu tô tendo o mesmo problema que vc teve no seu PSP uns anos atrás, pelo amor de Deus conseguiu resolver???

Off-topic and not english. At least write in english.

Then I really have no idea what the issue is. As I said, the 1.3 patch works perfectly fine for decisions on my end.
I just repatched an original CIA, loaded it up, and everything worked fine.

You can join our Discord and we can try to get more in-depth there, since this seems to be an isolated issue.

Congrats on the release!
I didn't even know this game existed, but it seems to be right up my alley
Btw, you think the discord you linked in the OP is a good place to find someone who would be interested in making a patcher app for another 3ds game?

I'd say we're certainly not opposed to it.

Plays incredibly well on Citra, thank you devs you guys are freaking amazing. Setting it up was super easy no problem. It’s like a new 3DS game release in 2025!

Where did you place the newly created folder into citra?

Awesome thanks, the trick was to create that luma folder!

Getting time travelers to speak modern English? If you're going to use time travelers, it seems well to use it on the 3DS if you want to do it with style, just don't make it heavy and require 1.21 gigawatts.

It's all a Dream

Not heard of the game before, but sounds like something I'd enjoy, great work!
I hope it'll be possible to implement the patch on the Vita version eventually as I'd probably prefer to play that version if anything.

Sadly, this is reality. And not a fantasy.

We try our hands on a PSP version, which might be installable on a Vita. However, we have close to no knowledge on that platform and it might prove impossible to properly port all adjustments.

1. Read the instructions
2. It would be, but we don't offer pre-patched cia or 3ds, because this would be piracy and copyright infringement.

how to make a cia from the patched version?

 

[onepiecefreak]

how to make a cia from the patched version?

You don't need to and you can't without some effort. Just put the patch in the correct luma folders on your 3DS and play it, as per instructions. It's really simple.
