Looks like it’s time for me to create my first thread here !
I will take this opportunity to say “thank you !” to those who run this awesome forum :wink:

Actually, this thread is just a “copy/paste” from my topic on Xeno Underground, so don’t expect anything new, sorry.

So, let’s go.

Recently, a guy called AleXwern has created an English menu-patch for Xenosaga 1 & 2 (aka Xenosaga I.II), the Xenosaga game on Nintendo DS.

The menu-patch translates this :

  1. the first lines of the script of the game.
    It’s really short, don’t expect something big, it’s just for testing.

  2. the names and the descriptions*\ for :
    a) Items
    b) Ethers
    c) Attacks / Special Attacks
    * Warning : the descriptions aren’t translated when you are in a battle !\

  3. Some other stuff, like for example the line “Do you want to save your game ?”.

Be warned : the translation sometimes is very “bare-bones”.

You can download the menu-patch here :

The patch works with the emulators DeSmuME (for Windows devices) and Drastic (for Android devices).
It also works with a R4 (Nintendo DS Flash Card).

I always wanted a English translation of the game, ever since my mum actually went out of her way to get the last cheap Japanese copy. :rofl: Kinda feel bad now.

Hello.
What do you mean by that ?

OK.

Hello. If there is any interest in continuing this patch, I’d be happy to translate the whole game. I would need programming support and such since I’m unfamiliar with DS hacking.

I recently played through the game and really want to recommend it to people, but it’s completely inaccessible if you don’t speak Japanese.

If there is genuine interest, please reach out to me here or on Twitter [at]oni_dino

Thank you.

Hello

New to the site here, I have the game and I would love to play in english, can anyone please tell if the project was finished?

12

Hello and welcome here :slight_smile:

There hasn’t been any (public) update about this menu patch so far.

13

Hey, a little late, but if you or another here knows enough japanese and wants to translate, I can do the tech side.

14

I’ve actually figured out most of the technical side of the game on my own time. I’ve been looking around for people who can aid with Japanese translation myself actually, but if you want to talk about the technical aspect, I’d be happy to do so in DMs or in another thread or something. (however people do things on this forum lol)
