As it appeared in Megaten Haven BBS
""Apparentely, there's this guy named Gimini who actually started working on Innocent Sin patch with a team of translators.
He seems to be proceeding nicely, he's working to launch 2 versions of the patch: Italian and English, and the approximate launch date is between 7-8 months!
According to Gimini he's to launch a site in the coming weeks for people to check his progress with the project.
Please support him in anyway you can.
Here's some shots: (Italian Version)

Hopefully it will continue at a nice pace. It's really remarkable that something hasn't been done about this already considering the level of interest in the title. I'm willing to wait another several months considering all I can really do with my copy is run around mindlessly haha.
Very cool. Thanks for the heads up.

Wait, is it a patch for the ROM?

Basically, you'd need to copy the game to your computer, apply the patch to the image file it creates (generally known as an ISO, but also appears in Bin/Cue format and countless others) and then burn that file to a new disc.
So, you'd basically need a solution to play back-ups on your original system or be able to run the game in an emulator.

Not quite as irritating as playing along with a translation FAQ in your lap.

When you say burn to a disc, do you mean you'd be able to run it in a PS2 like a normal game...? :buh:

You'll have to have your PS2 chipped or modded to play back-up games and then it should play the burnt disc.
I'm immensely interested in this - although I haven't played them yet due to region constraints, the Persona series in full (as in all three on PS1) would be grand.
Out of interest Tony, where did you get Innocent Sin from? I've never seen it anywhere to buy, no matter how much I scour eBay.

I was answering the one question, but you got it already lol.
I actually got it off of eBay. I can look up the seller for you because I know he does requests. He might be able to track down another copy fairly easily. I think I only spent around $20 on it, used. Which is fair since, you know, it's not exactly a rare title in that country. A lot of places mark up heavily on this stuff and it's hard to justify the costs. I'm willing to bet that if this patch does come out they'll be a LOT more common, but possibly even more expensive due to the potential demand.
It's semi-rare on there. Any good Megaten stuff is. I look about once every week or two and most of the time I find nothing of real value. In all this time, I've personally only seen Innocent Sin on there maybe twice.

You could do that, or you could run the patched image on your computer provided that it's fast enough for that.

I see. ... -Crickets- >.> So, once the whole patch is complete it would be possible to make actual IS playstation discs, right? ... *Wooden cogs creaking* And that means someone could make copies of the now localized game and give them to whomever they wish, correct?
...Hint, hint.

Well, I mean, once the patch is done, the game could obviously be distributed in patched form (illeglly online, anyway)... but no matter what, it would never be a black Playstation capable disc. It would be burnt on a CD you could buy at the store.

Gemini sounds a lot better. :buh:
I hope the patch is going well. There's a lot of people who really cannot wait for it. Good luck.
