Mahou Shoujo Lyrical Nanoha A's Portable: The Gears of Destiny English translation
魔法少女リリカルなのはA's PORTABLE －THE GEARS OF DESTINY－ · Magical Girl Lyrical Nanoha A's Portable: The Gears of Destiny
An English patch for the Nanoha PSP fighting game The Gears of Destiny, released together with a patch for its predecessor The Battle of Aces so the story modes can be played in English.
What it is
An English translation patch for The Gears of Destiny, the second of the two Nanoha fighting games on PSP. It came out in May 2018 alongside a matching patch for the first game, The Battle of Aces, as the result of a long-running fan effort to let people play both games in English rather than just watch subtitled story videos.
What's translated
The patch targets the story content, where most of the game's text lives, along with the in-game text needed to play. An optional extras package adds exported opening, ending and monologue videos and texture dumps with the title cards.
Playing it
Apply the patch to your own copy of the Japanese PSP game following the instructions that come with it. The release was announced on Vivid Translations, a Nanoha fan translation group, which links the downloads.
