[Vita] Digimon World: Next Order (PCSG00792) English Patch

[Geo]

Hello. I have put together a new English patch for the Japanese version of Digimon World -next 0rder- for PS Vita.

You can download it from Google Drive and read all about it in this Reddit thread.

The thread also explains how exactly it's different from the existing English patch for the Chinese version (PCSH00261) (which, by the way, is mistakenly labeled as being Japanese-region in the Repo).

I hope someone will find this useful.

That's great thanks mate.

Bless you! I was just looking at this in Vita PKGj and wishing there was an English version.

Really nice to see this game getting some attention. I had been playing the previous translation patch but the broken UI was super frustrating. I look forward to giving this a shot.

@Geo I've uploaded a copy on the repo.

Digimon World: Next Order (Japan) (English Patched) VITA – RGT Repository

Vita3k Compatibility (PC): It works until it crashes when opening the chest on Jijimon's house. So don't do that, it may also crash by doing other things I haven't tested further. This patch is by Geo-Kun, an older patch existed but for the Asia version of the game. This is the Japanese version...

Only modification is that I've deleted redundant files already present on rePatch to reduce game size a bit.
Also, added a decrypted copy "vita3k" for emulator users even if it doesn't work well as of today.

Thank you for keeping the Vita alive Geo

Cool, thanks. And deleting the redundant files is fine. I just like to keep them intact, because that way I can quickly switch to the unmodified Japanese game by quickly renaming the game's directory in rePatch to something else. But I can't imagine an average user needing this.

Oh, and by the way, I was told by at least one person that the game does indeed work on Vita3K just fine. It was quite glitchy when I did my own testing about a month ago. It kinda worked, but none of the models had animations, they were just floating around in frozen default poses. Either some of my settings were bad, or the emulator has managed to improve since then. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

P.S. About that crash you described on the repo (the one after opening a chest). That chest opens a system dialog with a prompt to log into PSN. It's for accessing the online functionality, but isn't needed for completing the game. The crash is probably due to the emulator not supporting anything related to PSN/online and the related system calls. If everything else works well, the chest is probably not a problem, just need to avoid touching it.

P.P.S. My name is just Geo, not Geo-Kun. My Reddit username is like that just because I had to add something.

Yeah just to make download a bit smaller. Most people here won't play without the translation.

I've informed vita3k to update their compatibility list to playable. (Updated!)

Fixed!

New to Vita emulation.
Thanks @Geo and @Spike

Vita3k on MacOS X runs [Vita] Digimon World: Next Order to the end credits?
I can play and complete the game with currrent version or is this still in play testing and bug reporting phase?

The patch itself is complete and fully playable from start to end on a real Vita console. As for the emulator, I can't give a conclusive answer, as I did my testing only on real hardware. From what I've seen and been told, it does work on Vita3K with minor non-significant glitches, but I've no information on whether it's playable all the way through.

Patch v0.0.2 is released.

• Reddit thread
• Full download
• Update only download

What's new in v0.0.2:

• All the default names of Baby I Digimon have been changed to their katakana (Japanese) versions. This makes it much easier for players when the game prompts them to name their Digimon, as the Japanese names are now pre-filled and can simply be accepted, no need to struggle with manually entering katakana.
• As an added bonus, once Baby I Digimon with default Japanese names evolve into Baby II and beyond, their names will automatically switch to the appropriate English names based on their evolution. This means your Digimon will have English names for 99,9% of the gameplay, which is much better.
• TL;DR: When the game asks you to name your newly hatched Baby I Digimon, just accept the default Japanese name. From Baby II onward, your Digimon will automatically be given the correct English names.
• Most (if not all) the overflowing Digimon descriptions in their profiles should now be fixed at the cost of having them shortened.
• A few minor UI text tweaks.

@Spike you might wanna update it on the repo. Also, is there no way to edit earlier posts?
