Hi there! This is DeviFoxx. The guy who originally wrote the Phantasy Star Portable 2 Infinity Translation Guide way back in 2011. A friend linked this page to me.

I just wanted to say how proud I am that you folks have come this far, and how impressed I am to see you all still have such a strong dedicated passion for the game! I'm glad I was able to have a small part in this project. Thank you for letting me be a part of it. Keep up the great work!

As @JamRules mentioned, we're intending to release our patch very soon.
We're now in the final stages of making sure there are no production errors with the patch and going through the logistics of it all.
Check back soon for the public release.

It has been a long ride, but the finish line is in sight now.
For everyone who has been following this project for a long time, I hopefully expect that the wait will have been worth it. :)

Totally worth waiting all these years. I love so much this game and now i can fully enjoy it with your patch. I'll never thank you enough for your hard work guys. Thank you very much

Like some others on here I am sure, I have been following this project since 2016. I can’t stress enough just how grateful and my appreciation to everyone who was involved in making this patch. You have my sincerest gratitude and of course a special thanks to Jam and Weyu for their dedication and incredible hard work over the years of making this patch. Thank you all very much! ^_^

Hi everyone,

I'm very happy to accounce that the patch has now been released.

We have made a dedicated thread for the release to hopefully reduce the bloat as this thread is now over 100 pages

https://gbatemp.net/threads/phantas...y-english-localization-public-release.576943/

:toot:

Very nice release! I've been looking forward to it for a long time and honestly, you guys exceeded my expectations. I really wasn't expecting the quality we got with this. Thanks again to everyone involved. I'm looking forward to running through the story and actually understanding it as well as playing with some friends on it.

I was wondering though, will you all be uploading the tools you used to create this to github or anything? There's certainly a fair bit of interest in that as well from people I've talked to and I myself have done some work on some model conversion tools for PSO2 and PSU among other games. I'd be interested to look into PSP2I as well.

Some examples for reference. I've sourced what I've made to my own Github for those interested:

Glad the patch is working for you.

It's unlikely that the particular tools used to create the patch will be uploaded, they were never made with that in mind and are a complete mess. I might try to post something once I get time to review everything, at least in terms of research.

There's some other things that I plan to look into, such as custom DLC weapons, etc.
If that ever gets done the ideal would be to release something to allow the community to import their own models, textures, etc. to make new items.

Very cool stuff with the model work you do, also great that you dumped the textures for Rozalin.

but i realized this code doesnt change the transformation it change the chat itself is there is a code to transform into the black one when press the Triangle and Circle when blast is full iwill ask @JamRules on the other thread too

Yeah. This code only for changing character's appearance. As for the moveset or transformation script itself is quite hard to find

Just checked up on this after last month and pretty glad it’s released! Been following since it started. I’m at my mobilization station now before my military deployment, and going thru some stuff back home at the moment. This definitely made my day, so thank y’all very much for the hard work and dedication all these years.

  • TwoSpikedHands @ TwoSpikedHands:
    yall im torn... ive been hacking away at tales of phantasia GBA (the USA version) and have so many documents of reverse engineering i've done
  • TwoSpikedHands @ TwoSpikedHands:
    I just found out that the EU version is better in literally every way, better sound quality, better lighting, and there's even a patch someone made to make the text look nicer
  • TwoSpikedHands @ TwoSpikedHands:
    Do I restart now using what i've learned on the EU version since it's a better overall experience? or do I continue with the US version since that is what ive been using, and if someone decides to play my hack, it would most likely be that version?
  • Sicklyboy @ Sicklyboy:
    @TwoSpikedHands, I'll preface this with the fact that I know nothing about the game, but, I think it depends on what your goals are. Are you trying to make a definitive version of the game? You may want to refocus your efforts on the EU version then. Or, are you trying to make a better US version? In which case, the only way to make a better US version is to keep on plugging away at that one ;)
  • Sicklyboy @ Sicklyboy:
    I'm not familiar with the technicalities of the differences between the two versions, but I'm wondering if at least some of those differences are things that you could port over to the US version in your patch without having to include copyrighted assets from the EU version
  • TwoSpikedHands @ TwoSpikedHands:
    @Sicklyboy I am wanting to fully change the game and bend it to my will lol. I would like to eventually have the ability to add more characters, enemies, even have a completely different story if i wanted. I already have the ability to change the tilemaps in the US version, so I can basically make my own map and warp to it in game - so I'm pretty far into it!
  • TwoSpikedHands @ TwoSpikedHands:
    I really would like to make a hack that I would enjoy playing, and maybe other people would too. swapping to the EU version would also mean my US friends could not legally play it
  • TwoSpikedHands @ TwoSpikedHands:
    I am definitely considering porting over some of the EU features without using the actual ROM itself, tbh that would probably be the best way to go about it... but i'm sad that the voice acting is so.... not good on the US version. May not be a way around that though
  • TwoSpikedHands @ TwoSpikedHands:
    I appreciate the insight!
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    @TwoSpikedHands just switch, all the knowledge you learned still applies and most of the code and assets should be the same anyway
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    and realistically they wouldn't

    be able to play it legally anyway since they need a ROM and they probably don't have the means to dump it themselves
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    why the shit does the shitbox randomly insert newlines in my messages
  • Veho @ Veho:
    It does that when I edit a post.
  • Veho @ Veho:
    It inserts a newline in a random spot.
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    never had that i don't think
