Lucky Star: Ryouou Gakuen Outousai Portable English translation
らき☆すた〜陵桜学園 桜藤祭〜Portable · Lucky Star: Ryouou Gakuen Outousai
TimepieceMaster's English patch for the PSP Lucky Star visual novel now covers six of the game's seven episodes, backed by a detailed site of translator's notes.
What's translated
The current patch covers Episodes 1 to 6 in full; Episode 7 only has its opening translated so far. Choices that would lead into routes that aren't translated yet have been switched off by the patch, so you won't stumble into Japanese text.
The game is dense with references to anime, manga, games and Japanese culture. The translator's site explains them episode by episode, with side-by-side screenshots, and also has a walkthrough for each episode.
Playing it
The patch is for the PSP version only (not the PS2 original) and is applied to your own unmodified Japanese copy, following the instructions on the official page. Players of the Episode 5 patch can use a smaller upgrade patch instead. It runs on emulators and on modded PSP or PS Vita hardware. Remember the Japanese button layout: Circle confirms and Cross cancels.
