Hi, I really want to play this but I have absolutely no idea how anything works. Can I please get some help? Please?
Hello, check the very first post of this thread: https://gbatemp.net/threads/puella-magi-madoka-magica-portable-translation-project.559955/
The RAR file (the very first link in the very first post) has all the information you need to install the patch. You'll need an original ISO of the Puella Magi Madoka Magica Portable game, as well as either a PSP, a PS Vita, or an emulator to play. Post a follow-up post if you're still struggling and I can help you with more. Unfortunately, I cannot give you a direct link to the game ISO, as that is not permitted here.


Hello! I am super new on this but i was wondering, what is the overall progress on the game so far? like routes fully finished and stuff, because i am planning to play it!


Hello, the game is split up into six different Chapters, one for each Magical Girl (One for Madoka, Mami, Sayaka,etc...) and one for Kyubey. So far Madoka's, Mami's, and Sayaka's Chapters are done. Kyoko's Chapter is in the works, with it mostly complete up to Day 13, but revising is needed before a patch can officially be released. As it stands, the current patch covers up to Day 4 of Kyoko's Chapter. You can play the game as is and still complete the first 3 chapters I've mentioned. But if you still want to wait for all the Chapters to be complete, you'd have to wait maybe until the end of this year, or sometime next year.
As for other parts of the game, the Mystery Barriers are all fully playable, and the Pictorial is complete as well.


I know this is kinda off-topic, but I really hope we'll get an HD texture pack for the game as well. It would make it even better

This would be very nice to have. I'll look more into that in the future.


Speaking of images:

Thanks to the folks working on the Tales Of ABCDE games' translations, Life Bottle Productions, they provided me with more suitable editing tools for dealing with the graphics of this game. I no longer have to edit graphics in silly BMP format!
They have also provided me with help on fixing the corrupted graphics that would plague the menus. Go check out their work, they're a very dedicated team who do put a lot of love into their work!

I've found what claims to be an ISO for it and an emulator, but the emulator says it isn't a valid disc image.

Hi, I would like to report a bug in the game. The game freezes when inside the witch barrier mostly happens Floor 5+. The higher you climb the floors the high chance the game freezes.It only happens when you play the game on PSP hardware and PSVITA/adrenaline.
PPSSPP the game doesn't freeze. Only happens on real hardware, you can fix the problem. Happens even in boss fights.

Sorry If I sound rude and for my bad English

Hmmm that's interesting. I heard of an issue like this occurring in Floor 5, but I never bothered to test it on hardware and only on emulator.
I'll look more into it.

Oh wow. Incredible to see this is still on-going. Ironically the original translation team is what allowed me to edit the files for Danball Senki. Massive props to you and your team.

i have a psvita to test it and yeah, it has some bugs here and there, i change between the original jpn version and the patch to play, the other major bug is on the charlotte's boss second phase in mami's chapter, where you have to save and reload the current file to see the whole hud again and proceed

Madoka Magica Portable Translation Patch 4.0!
This is not a drill! New patch for the Madoka Magica Portable game is now online!
Download link: https://mega.nz/file/xsUkUaLL#fRn8SCZJ7cr5axcMV-Dv6f0ONwSn1UWEerm4_DVINtc
Instructions provided in the patch folder.

https://mega.nz/file/xsUkUaLL#fRn8SCZJ7cr5axcMV-Dv6f0ONwSn1UWEerm4_DVINtc

What's New:
-Kyoko's Chapter is complete! Enjoy (and despair) through all 30 days of this Chapter!

-Fixed the background graphics displayed in the main menu (explained more in
previous posts above).
-Fixed the font file, so more characters can fit in the dialogue box.


This Chapter is far more linear than the previous chapters. If you want to see all the endings:

Kyoko MUST NOT have her Soul Gem fully stained/tainted/muddy/etc. by Day 17. Make a save state on Day 17 at Nighttime and enter Oktavia's Barrier (save in-game as well, just to be sure).. There are 5 floors to Oktavia's Barrier. If you're playing on emulator, make a save state right on Floor 5, but make sure that Kyoko's Soul Gem is not fully stained. IF KYOKO'S SOUL GEM IS FULLY STAINED, YOU CANNOT PURIFY THE SOUL GEM WITH GRIEF SEEDS, SO PURIFY IT WHEN IT'S HALF STAINED, AT LEAST. OTHERWISE, YOU'RE STUCK WITH ONLY ONE ENDING ATTAINABLE AND YOU'LL HAVE TO REVERT TO AN OLDER SAVE STATE/IN-GAME SAVE.
Beat Oktavia's Barrier, both with Kyoko's Soul Gem stained, and another instance with Kyoko's Soul Gem not fully stained (you mean get the "good ending" even if Kyoko's Soul Gem is 99% stained, but I wouldn't push my luck). Finish the rest of the game and revert to the previous save state/in-game save and repeat the process but with the opposite conditions.

What's next for the project? We still have Kyubey's and Homura's Chapter Left. We may focus more on fixing some of the images and giving the previous chapters a facelift in the translation department. Translating Kyubey's Homura's Chapter is the next major task but we also need to address some of the other issues in the game first.

Special thanks to CoyoteMao, Mark, Kevan, Life Bottle Productions, maxle, CrashmanX, Nouka and others who have contributed to the development of this translation project.
Also, thanks to everyone who enjoy playing this game!

Hello, it says in the update instruction to drag and drop the "font.fnt" file into the "/PSP_GAME/USRDIR" directory, but in that same directory there is a folder called "Font" that already contains a file named "font.fnt".

Intuitively I would assume I'm supposed to paste the new "font.fnt" file into the Font folder to overwrite the old font file instead, but I don't want to mess anything up by not following the instructions properly and I don't know that the provided instructions are wrong.
Can you confirm if the update instructions provided with the update are correct?

You are right! I messed up on the instructions. The font file should go in the "/PSP_GAME/USRDIR/Font" folder, replacing the old "font.fnt" file there. I will update the instructions in the patch. Thanks for spotting that out.
Edit: Patch link has changed. Instructions on how to install the patch has been updated.
