Some may be familiar with Phantasy Star Portable and Portable 2 which received English releases, however 2 Infinity never did. Personally I really like this game and it's quite a considerable expansion so I thought it was a shame no patch has been released so I decided to take a look.

(The following screens are the first examples of text insertion,
they do not represent the actual patch's quality)

PROGRESS – Technical

To do:

• update .fpb saving to prevent crashes - in progress
• update .nmll pointers to prevent crashes - in progress
  
• .pmf subs (including timing, encoding, etc) - the game actually uses soft subs so that needs investigating
• asm hack to widen UI displays - in progress
• Update tool to support dlc items
  
• Other technical randomness - loads of fixes, etc. - too much to mention / never-ending

.fpb splitter - DONE
.fpb reimporter - DONE
.fbp (type 3) crypto – DONE - removed by asm hack
.nmll loading – DONE
.nmll crypto (encrypt/decrypt)(type 1) – DONE – ported from essen’s original C code
.nmll decompression – DONE – ported from fuzziqer’s code
.nmll compression – DONE
script dumper (.txt file output) – DONE
look up table exporter and importer (because there are loads of duplicates; ~8000 unique text entries out of ~250,000 for one file set) - DONE

file list spreadsheet exporter - so we can track translations - DONE

*Notes about release*

The patch will be released as a full patch, this means it won't be released until it is done.
It will most likely be a .xdelta patch once completed.

No release date has been decided

*DLC*

Once the main game is done I'll try to do the dlc quests (might not be possible / they are available here http://www.psp2infinity.jp/pc/mission/). However I won't be doing any of the psn store paid dlc items, etc. and this is not up for discussion.

There have been many posts relating to DLC already and any future queries relating to it will be ignored at this time, the actual game patch is still in progress.

 

I was seriously thinking about doing this one next... A friend gifted me one import copy so... Well, we'll see ^^"

 

You should use https://www.transifex.com/ to make more peope help translating the text files

 

Hopefully DeviFoxx is still active, I only just sent him an email so I'll have to see.
In the mean time I'll probably copy the existing translations for episode 1 from the English release,
I'm hoping swapping game files will work

Never heard of that service before, looks interesting but I think you have to pay

Edit: DeviFoxx generously gave his permission to use the guide which will help greatly with translation

 

"I'll probably copy the existing translations for episode 1 from the English release"

I'll be aiming to release a patch as complete as possible, but at the very least I want to do all the cutscenes

 

I wasn't following it at the time but looking at old posts but your right I think he was using a plugin to hook the RAM (way too complicated for me to do),
I'm doing it via editing the game files so it should hopefully be stable.

 

I would like to help out with this patch,so will my offer accepted?
although i'm still a High School student i only could spend about 6 hours/day on my PC
i'm still new to this but if there's something i could do i will do it

 

I could help with that one,I may not an expert at japanese but i could recognize thing like these,so when should i start? the required program i should have?
*anyway,I already have the PSP2,PSP2I ISO and DeviFoxx guide

 

Aye Aye Sir

 

The above one is good for me^^
