Amagami in English for PS Vita
Hello!
A bit back I noticed the tools Nishishi Translations made and used were released to the public. One thing led to another and now here we are! This was a very fun project to work on compared to other ones I've done as it was possible to alter the game a lot more for some new features.
PS2 Credits
First thing I want to mention before anything is the credits. This is a patch based off Nishishi Translations' work done for the PS2. This not only includes the translation, but also all their documentation and code changes, some of which has been ported over here with tweaks made to both. This patch would not exist without their efforts on both translating and hacking this game.
They maintain a credits list found here, which may or may not change with time. The page has been archived on the Wayback Machine in case the site goes down.
Vita Credits
I would also like to mention the people who helped with making this patch a reality through bug reporting, image editing, and more:
- badspot — Image editing/Playtesting
- FTIW — Hacking/Image editing
- Palevo — Playtesting
- Phantom — Translation help
- vimiani — Logo Design/Image editing
- wacker — Playtesting

Changes
Here are most of the changes/fixes from the PS2/PSP patch.
*Anything not listed means it's a direct port from Nishishi's work (such as automatic line breaks, name changing, translation, etc.)
- Patch is now all in one (benefits from newer hardware).
- Translated/edited/fixed some lines throughout the game.
- Fixed line breaks when the player's name was in it.
- Added voice line in text form when changing player's name.
- Fixed name changing (PSP).
- Fixed names being three characters long (PSP).
- Reduced character spacing in event names at the top of the grid.
- Fixed log window from random crashing and now has variable width font.
- Fixed snowflake in text window going off screen if line was too long.
- Fixed calendar day position (PSP).
- Changed title sequence when booting up.
- Fixed ï not displaying.
- Added space between character names when the relationship status changed.
- Fixed omake softlock on background change (PS2 Ebikore).
- Fixed credits screen only showing 3 names (PS2 Ebikore).
- Fixed curtain call scene softlock (PS2 Ebikore).
- Fixed lines being out of place in certain scenes.
- Translated alternate epilogue event.
- Fixed a softlock with Nanasaki's friendship route (PS2).
Touch Controls
The original game did not implement touch controls in any section that wasn't exclusive to the vita. Meaning only the gallery got touch controls implemented.
This English patch offers touch controls to navigate the game in the following ways:
- Tapping anywhere to finish text streaming/advance text.
- Tapping on the title screen to open the game.
- Swiping up and down to show/hide the log.
- Tapping on conversation buttons inside conversation mode.
If you do not wish for these new controls to work, you have the option to disable them with a new setting inside the menu as shown below:
Adding touch controls to other aspects of the game would be quite strenuous. Patchworking the game to take controller heavy menus and make them touch friendly is possible, but not easy in the slightest (adding the above mentioned took quite some time). Still, if you have suggestions for places where touch controls would almost be a necessity, don't hesitate to let me know.
Most of the information in this post can also be found within the last few pages of the manual.
That's all from me, hope you enjoy the game.
See you around!
