Here’s an English port of Musou Stars (Warriors All-Stars) using the PC assets. Now on Beta pre-release state, Fully playable, still got minor bugs on Tips text and probably also on dialog during story and battle.

Not really my kind of game, but some users are requesting this and I’ve gotten used to how Tecmo Koei Games can be modded and decided just to quickly port it since I’ve already had the tools and experience from my previous projects with this game format.

Maybe I’ll just release this and let you guys do the testing, getting kinda lazy to play games lately lols. :P Though I did play the game for about 3hours or so and tested a decent time of every character prologue introduction battle until you reach the main map or whatever you call it.

What’s done:
○ The initial release of English patch
○ Port All English text/images from the PC version.

What’s not translated:
○ Game title on vita’s save pop-up window
○ Game Credits
○ Maybe some text or images that I overlook (please do report this)

Bugs:
○ Word warping issue on dialog windows (Battle and story).
○ Some text may seem to be compressed/Squished.
○ Weird bug that crashes the game when displaying some Quest text that has a % symbol. [FIXED - check link for hot fix]

Requirements:
○ Hacked Vita (Enso/h-encore 3.60/3.65/3.68)
○ Repatch plugin (installed on the Vita and verified working)
○ NoNpDrm plugin (installed on the Vita and verified working)
○ reF00D plugin if on 3.60 firmware (installed on the Vita and verified working)
○ Vitashell
○ FTP program (Winscp recommended)
○ This English patch

Link:
English patch v0.9a patcher (15.8MB) (+ hot fix)
Hot Fix (Fixes some crashes on quest dude) (50kb) (with instruction)

How to patch (Windows):
01. Install the Base Game on your Vita and also the Game Update v1.03
02. Test the game if it working fine.
03. Extract English patch archive to a folder. ex: “MStars_patcher”
04. Using Vitashell browse gro0:app/ (if cart) or ux0:app/ (if a PSN game)
05. Highlight the PCSG01018 folder and press Triangle -> then select Open decrypted
06. Press Select and connect Via FTP
07. Using your favorite FTP application on the PC, browse gro0:app/PCSG01018/ (if cart)
or ux0:app/PCSG01018/ (if a PSN game)
08. Copy LINKDATA.BIN and LINKDATA.IDX folder to the PC “MStars_patcher” folder.
Original decrypted LINKDATA.BIN md5 hash 30fbeffdb1e53607a91ff18f1e9f3da1
Original decrypted LINKDATA.IDX md5 hash d4cbb1ab609bb730449654a229efd620

09. Run patch_decrypted.bat and Press Y then ENTER and wait for it to finish patching and Verifying file integrity.
10. Copy “app” and “rePtach” folder to your Vita’s ux0 folder & overwrite all
11. Play the game.

Additional Notes:
Do not change the "English Subtitles" on the Option screen. Originally that was supposed to display English subtitles on "FMV movies only" and not in-game text. Since the game is now modded and Default all Japanese text is now replaced with English, there no need to change that, doing so is equivalent to turning off the Movie subtitles.
○ Checkout TheRadziu NoNpDRM-modding guide for more info about dumping decrypted vita files.
○ Tested on a Slim and Fat 3.68 h-encore and 3.65 Vita TV.
○ Special thanks to Knofbath for reporting a game breaking bug.
○ If there are major text bug’s and you want it fixed, just message me by googling froid_san or happydance and send a screenshot of it or the text before or after the text bug.

Very cool, I'll totally check it out, is it possible to do asset swapping from PC with Spirit of Sanada? Or even from PS3 for Samurai Warriors 2, but that may be too much lmao

(Gintama Rumble ............. wasn't a ugly game, the reviewers didn't do it justice, but, the kind of sensuality was present like in the "hyperdimension neptunia" games, so it really gets boring fast, if your not into that)

There's too much "KosPlay Themes" in this for it to be any fun ... NOT AT ALL!


This game has a theme like, "ninety nine night on xbox360", or like "Ragnarok Odyssey Ace" (without the broken gameplay mechanics) ........... I'd say grab this, you'll probably enjoy it!

    As of October 2024, Twitter's net worth is estimated to be $9.4 billion, which is almost 80% less than the $44 billion that Elon Musk paid for it in October 2022. This estimate is based on Fidelity's valuation of their stake in the company, which is a closely watched indicator of Twitter's overall health. lul

    @K3Nv2 at least we can have ringtones that don't cost $500 per megabyte 🙄
  • SylverReZ @ SylverReZ:
    @K3Nv2, Lol. Believe it or not, I used to have an Apple phone for over 5-years, but this was an iPhone 5C. Later, I moved onto an iPhone 7 but after that I locked myself out because I forgot my passcode. So, instead, got a Samsung XCover that somebody was selling second-hand, and the rest is bascially history.
