MonHun Nikki: Poka Poka Airu Mura G English translation
モンハン日記 ぽかぽかアイルー村G · Monster Hunter Diary: Poka Poka Airou Village G
mykaadev brings the cozy Felyne village spin-off of Monster Hunter to English on PSP, reusing the fan script of the later 3DS release.
What's translated
mykaadev's patch puts the PSP game into English by carrying over most of the fan translation that L-StarJP and collaborators made for the 3DS follow-up, Poka Poka Airou Village DX, and fitting it into the PSP release. Lines that no longer fit their boxes were reworded, and the font was adjusted so English text has proper spacing. The author reports that almost all of the Japanese in the patched text tables is now English.
Still to do
This is an early version. A few hundred lines outside the main text files, some strings in the game code and the hunter equipment names are still in Japanese, some text may run past its window or read stiffly, and a few names are not yet consistent. The dialogue is being reworked conversation by conversation for later releases.
How it was made
AI tools helped build the patching tools and draft some of the reworded lines; the author says each line was checked with scripts and in-game screenshots.
Playing it
The patch only works with the G edition (ULJM05881), not the first Poka Poka Airu Mura. Apply it to your own copy of the game following the instructions on mykaadev's GitHub page; the author's project write-up explains how it was built. If you played an older build, don't load its save states; normal in-game saves are fine.
