Steins;Gate English translation
シュタインズ・ゲート · Shutainzu Gēto
A full English patch for the Japanese PSP release of Steins;Gate, covering the story, tips, phone messages, menus and even the karaoke cutscenes.
What's translated
The patch puts the whole visual novel into English on PSP: the story scripts, the in-game encyclopedia of tips, the phonebook and the mails you receive on Okabe's phone, plus the phone interface itself. Menus, save and load screens, settings, system messages and the PSP HOME menu text are in English too, and backgrounds and cutscenes carry translated text.
How it was built
HaselLoyance assembled the patch from existing work rather than retranslating from scratch: the script comes from ant08's earlier fan translation, while translated backgrounds and cutscene videos come from Committee of Zero's work on the PC version. Riku's original toolchain made it possible to insert longer English lines into the game, and theryusui helped with the game's compressed files.
What's new in 1.0.1
The latest release reworks the save/load screens, re-renders one cutscene, fixes some tips that displayed wrongly and cleans up typos and lines that ran off the screen. The confirm and cancel buttons are also swapped to the usual Western PSP layout.
