If you hadn't noticed it from the title yet, this will only work with 1.34.
Furthermore, this game will only work in Japanese Locale. Your computer either needs to be in native Japanese Locale, or you need to have Locale Emulator (specifically, NOT AppLocale) to emulate the game in Japanese Locale. Otherwise the game will display corrupted text for the HP Bar and other places. When you install the game you must ALSO install it in Japanese Locale, or else the game will have crashing issues.
English Patch 1.00
Within the contents of this spoiler is everything in regards to the 1.00 English patch, which used the Beat patching system. This is no longer relevant, please do not follow anything from this spoiler. Please skip below this spoiler to the 1.02 patch section.

Here's a link. In it is a translation patch. (http://www.mediafire.com/download/v823q053e3aqzxp/tpdp+1_34+eng+full.bpm)
The entire game should be translated at this point! We've done our best to ensure every possible string we could find and was used in-game was translated. I did a quick tets to make sure the patch was working, and it loaded up. If you have issues with the patch or game, please read the rest of the thread to see if your concerns were addressed before commenting on it.
To use this, you will need beat. Here's a link to that, too. (http://www.romhacking.net/utilities/893/)
To use this:
- Make sure your dat folder's contents are entirely unedited, including custom player images.
- Make a copy of gn_enbu.exe, and place it in your dat folder. Make sure it is named gn_enbu.exe.
-- This is what the contents of your dat folder should look like, for reference:

- Run beat, then choose "Apply Patch."
- Browse to your installation of TPDP, select the "dat" folder, and click OK
- Choose to make a new folder and name it whatever you want. This is where translated resources will go.
- Browse to your TPDP installation, and make a copy of the contents of the dat folder, including gn_enbu.exe, in case I broke something or for another update coming out.
- No, seriously, make backup copy of the dat folder. Make absolutely sure you have one.
- Do you have a backup of the dat folder? Okay.
- Copy the contents of the folder you created during the patching process and dump them into the dat folder. Rename your gn_enbu.exe file in the main directory to preserve a clean copy, and place the newly created gn_enbu.exe in the main directory.
- Make sure everything works correctly.
Nothing seemed to be broken, but my testing wasn't that heavy.
If an update comes out, you will need to place the old clean .arc files back in the dat folder in order to properly update, along with placing the clean gn_enbu.exe file in the main directory. Keep that in mind.
This will only work if your copy is updated to 1.34!
Hey, here's a video even on how to patch it to English if you need more assistance! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1oTDNvEqXig
Save frequently in case something is broken so we don't have any unsightly crashes.
English Patch 1.02
Here's a link. In it is the installer for the 1.02 translation patch. (http://thpp.supersanctuary.net/tpdp/Base%20Translation%201.02.7z)
Here's another link. This is a mirror in case the first one goes down. (https://mega.nz/#!htV0VThB!qV7W2-eqIffthLOzqIDInEd53m4F9W-BDW9Atwqpx28)
With this patch, the entire game should be translated now - nothing left untranslated at all (aside from the intro movie). If you see anything still untranslated, or translated awkwardly, please report it to us, but only after checking the thread to ensure it wasn't reported already.
To install this patch, you will need to have your game's folder relatively unedited. For best results, we recommend running the installer via Japanese Locale or Locale Emulator. You will need to have the game's files intact in order for the installer to apply the changes. We also recommend backing up the original dat folder and gn_enbu.exe, in the case of an accident.
Remember to save often just in case something is broken, and we dont have any problematic crashes plaguing you.
1.02 contains a hefty number of changes, mostly in regards to backporting the Shard of Dreams translation to Base. Most of the changes were made for the sake of internal consistency, though a few other changes were made, such as text wrapping on skill interfaces. A full change log has been provided with the download.
Once again, we apologize for the delay in getting this out. Here's hoping it actually works!
Is anyone else having trouble with the text in this game? A lot of the item descriptions (and especially the Puppet Book entries) seem to extend way past their text boxes. Do I need to install a certain font to make it work, or is this problem unique to me?
