Hacking Phantasy Star Portable 2 Infinity - English Translation

[Weyu]

Considering the the patch will eventually get released, for both PSP original hardware and PPSSPP, will you need to have a modded PSP in order to apply this patch? I've heard sometime ago rumors going around about some patch has already been released, but you need a modded PSP to apply the patch? I wonder if it'll be the same process of getting the JP dlc in PSP2.

Also, the multiplayer/online aspect. Since this game official servers shutdown along with PSP2 will you still be able to connect using the ad hoc feature with the english patch still applied?

No patch has been released yet, and you will need some form of custom firmware to run ISOs whether it's your own legit rip from a physical copy, or a downloaded one.
As for multiplayer, it should be possible, I'm not sure whether modded and unmodded clients can play together though.

Small update: progress is being made.
Jam has done a myriad of UI fixes: window resizing, cut off text / word wrap fixes, graphical changes among other things.
I'm still QCing the patch and working on various text & tech issues as they come up.

It took some thinking, but we've got a pretty good system for the Infinity Mission naming scheme.
Various UI factors still need to be addressed before it's presentable, but from a localization standpoint that was one of the bigger problems that needed to be tackled.

i think the qustion might have been related to the fact that there are patches in existence (no idea about this game though) that actually require you to have a physical copy of the game to play with, as the patch itself is created as a plugin for the psp that patches the UMD on the fly when you play.

 

[KazinWho]

I eagerly await this patch! Thank you for working on it!

 

[JamRules]

The patch will be for producing a modified ISO.

I think way way back Coldbird was trying to patch the game via a plugin but in my case I am altering the actual game files. Honestly I wouldn't know where to begin with producing a plugin, though I would expect that a plugin would require custom firmware anyway, plus I'm not sure how that would work with PPSSPP.

In terms of multi-player, I think it should work across the patched and original versions but it needs testing.

Coldbird live patch idea always sounded bold, crazy bold. If he was able to pull that of it would be quite an achievment, given how many bugs you're finding on static stuff.

On another note, have anyone worked on a 60fps patch for Infinity? It's probably the same of 2, but with new adresses and I couldn't work the memory magic to find it.

Found this on (https://sites.google.com/site/psp2iguide/playing-online#TOC-MISCELLANEOUS) it breaks a skill. They linked a clip of it (clips(dot)twitch(dot)tv/BillowingGenerousHeronTriHard). Not sure if anyone has tweaked this as of yet but it looks good enough to me.

[zerover01]

Patch developer posted three posts prior discussing development on the patch, so yes, it is being worked on.

 

[henok12]

[HomeShineBrew]

No. If you read what's been already posted they haven't put out a release date. It's being worked on.

Just dropped by to say I am still following this. Hopefully you can get it done before 2020 cause I want to play so bad.

 

[RikuNoctis]

@JamRules, thank you for the hard work. Take your time.

 

[Azumablade]

I'll be waiting for this keep up the good work no matter how long it will take

 

[Devanor]

So for someone who's not very knowledgable regarding modding and stuff, I'd like to ask, will this patch be for an actual PSP unit or an emulator?

(I'm sorry if this has already been asked or stated, but I haven't read the entire thread)

 

[Weyu]

Both should be possible.

 

[XenoKal]

Whew, it's been some years since I checked here. Project seems to still be alive and kicking. I wish you all the best and hope it gets completed, I have yet to play PSP2i since I am waiting on you guys. Cheers~

I have a plan

> Win Lottery
> Hire High-Level Coders to help Jam
> Pay everyone 50k for the work
> Patch out in 3 months tops

Backup plan

> Win Lottery
> Pay SEGA for rights to PS series
> Get source code to PSP2i
> Give to Jam
> Patch out in 5 mins

 

[WhiteWhisps]

I've been keeping tabs on this thread since I was 16, keep it up Jam! You've got a fan in me.

 

[ThatTEMPguy]

Have been in the shadows waiting for this glorious release. @JamRules You are the man, keep up the amazing work with your insane amount of quality control. It's a small team creating a AAA release for us. Thank you for getting on the project again, and hope you have more free time as life can get busy.

Maybe we can even rare hunt together when you finish. :^)
