Translation PSP

Toaru Majutsu no Index English translation

とある魔術の禁書目録 · A Certain Magical Index

A full English patch for the Japan-only Index fighting game on PSP, covering the story chapters as well as the move lists and the opening.

What's translated

The goal was the whole game rather than just the story. Every story chapter is in English, from Touma's opening route through the other character chapters, the shared main story scenes and the final chapter. Character move lists and profiles are translated too, and the opening is subtitled.

Unlocking everything

Only Touma's chapter is open at first; finishing it unlocks the others, and clearing five routes opens the finale. The Misaka Mikoto chapter is unlocked by having a save from the Railgun PSP game on the same system.

Playing it

The patch comes as a small program: you give it your own ISO of the Japanese game and it produces the English version. Some players reported crashes on real hardware; the translator's fix is to make sure the "force high memory layout" option in the custom firmware's recovery menu is turned off.
