This thread is currently being maintained by @ultramario1998.

This is not a translation request thread.


All translation requests should be posted in the sister thread:
3DS Translation Request Topic


The goal of this topic is to have a list of ongoing and complete 3DS fan translation ROM hacking projects.

In accordance with GBATemp rules, I cannot post download links to precompiled .3ds or .cia files for these hacks, but I will link to the relevant project thread.

If you know of an existing fan translation, ROM hack, or content restoration patch for a 3DS game that's not up here, please post about it along with any other information that you feel should be added, and I (@ultramario1998) will try to add it ASAP.

Undub/Uncensor projects

Don't like how a game was changed during localization? Want to hear a game's Japanese dub rather than the English one? This portion of the thread is meant to list projects that change a game to be more like the Japanese version.

Uncensor Patches

Bravely Default/Second Uncensored

Adds JPN-exclusive outfits for both games, and restores those that were modified for the Western release. Doesn't change back text alterations, or in Bravely Second's case, the altered quests.

Note that Bravely Default For the Sequel, a JP-only re-release, includes the original outfits and the translations. The digital free-to-play version of that release lacks the extra languages.
Link

Some restored costumes, as well as JP-only items in the second game, need save edition to be used. Follow this tutorial for more details.

Dragon Quest VIII Uncensor

All versions of DQ8 3DS, including the Japanese version, have had certain pieces of clothing and some scenes altered from the PS2/Android version. A fan-made patch restores at least the clothing from PS2 data.

Fire Emblem Fates Restoration

Based on the censored official localization. Doesn't fix the text alterations, but rather some of the visual ones. Doesn't include the petting minigame even though it's dubbed in the game files. Different from the re-translation project.

Link

Dragon Ball Fusions Uncensored

Swords were changed to wood sticks in US/EU versions, among other things. According to Bandai Namco Europe, these alterations were done at the behest of Nintendo of America. Patches were made to restore the original models and sound effects.

Harvest Moon Trio of Towns - Hamtaro Restoration

The Japanese version featured Hamtaro, but the localization team, despite their best efforts, were forced to dummy him out because of legal licensing issues. This patch restores Hamtaro and the partial English translation by Xseed for text lines associated with him. Some NPC reactions were not translated and as a result will show as "......"

Link (patching utility requiring both the English and Japanese versions of the game)

Undub Patches

Dragon Quest VII Undub (Orchestral Score Restoration)
Dragon Quest VIII Undub (Orchestral Score Restoration + Undub Voice Acting)


Replaces the MIDI OST in the American version with the Japanese orchestrated equivalent, uncensors various clothing items, and of course undubs the game.

Other games

Fan-made ROM Hacks

Should probably be moved to its own topic if this section grows too big.

Pokémon Neo X / Neo Y
Link


CTGP-7 (Custom Track Grand Prix 7)

A hack of Mario Kart 7 that adds new tracks, new character skins, and a fresh coat of paint to Mario Kart 7.

Link


Super Mario Bros. 3Deluxe
A hack for New Super Mario Bros. 2 that replaces the levels with the ones from Super Mario Bros., and Super Mario Bros 2 (Lost Levels).

Thread | Discord Server


Hatsune Miku Project Mirai DX Youtaite Edition
A project that aims to replace the Japanese vocals in the game with English equivalents. Due to the nature of the project, I put it under ROM hacks instead of translations.

Thread

Thanks to the OP for making this thread, and to the general community for making the scene what it is today.

Hagrun, LinkmstrYT, Anton
Everyone involved in the aforementioned projects.
Apologies if I left anyone uncredited, feel free to give corrections/updates.

Also Inazuma Eleven Go:Light just had an audio swap (so yes Japanese voices) but it still has the anglicized names. So it's a questionable undub (at least in my opinion).

I'm really looking forward to some kind of translation for The Legend of Legacy, since a release overseas hasn't been announced for it at all. I've been wanting to rip open the romfs and see if there's any more English text than just some of the FMVs. I'd really like to play in English, given the names behind the game.

I wish they were. I always enjoy Japanese names more. I wish I could help translate, but alas I'm heavily busy with school work and trying hard to read Japanese regularly working through Youkai Watch right now (since Level 5 will inevitably bastardize it like they did Inazuma Eleven)
Hence the term "undub" not "retranslation".

I know I was also warning people who might download it. Hoping it had the same treatment of undub as the first two.
