I am also playing this game. But not yet completed. Only chapter 8/9.

the non-official english translation patch.

I see~ thanks.

Although I hardly understand the game, but I feel nicer to play in its original language. Will just read up the gamesfaq writeup after I completed the game.

The patch will only translate the text, no change on voiceover/seiyuu thou

dam it, feel like buying wii now, but feel like wasting money too buying the console just for this game...

Certain parties have brought up in a report that this translation project may constitute piracy.
In my book, this is a rather grey area. I hold in high regard, those that would volunteer their time to make available a game to an audience that would otherwise be unable to enjoy it.
This site does not appear to neither reveal any method of playing the game without first purchasing the original media disc, nor make it any easier to play a pirated version. As such, I leave it to the hands of Nintendo and their fully capable legal department to decide whether or not they wish to cease (and desist) such activity.

As this current topic of discussion is in a grey area of legality, I trust that everyone will take care while discussing it.

This project actually still required original game disc to boot. It doesn't patch the iso thus no backup disc to download.

w00t!!

Total Progress: 99.3%

Remaining work:
General:
Credits (lowercase version)
Last Chapter Title (ch.11)

no need to wait 100% already, credits i don't need translation

Where to get 99.3% patch?

I have played this game for >1 mth , still at Chapter 8/9....

oledi done this game this year early.....
thx for evil program, can let my wii play jp's region games

Just finished the game 2 days ago.

but still many things locked.. have to replay to unlock them

I think it does not really constitute as piracy as the developers intent is to allow none japanese literate people to enjoy the game requiring an original disc. I think that Nintendo would most probably keep quiet as this would probably boost up their export sales (people who buy ori would not pirate if they like the game enough people, while it wouldnt matter to those who do).

I'm guessing the developers are not revealing their method to detect original games is to circumvent/delay hackers from bypassing it.

Either way, this project shows how much people want this game. Too bad they aren't getting paid for their efforts, while the game producers reap profits.

I don't think the english patch will help the sales significantly. This game only sold ~70k copies in Japan. Outside of Japan can expect less.

for those who arn't aware, the patch already released 18th Jan (2 days) ago

tried out last night, the translation is awesome and easy to use

how much did u guys pay for the japan import of the game?

interested in the fans' translation but jp import very expensive at PA right now so risky at the price if cannot work with the patch.... mampus la!
