  1. Looking good. Finally, something of the progess of the patch. Keep up the good work!

    And I agree with Lalakoboldslayer, DeSemuME is the best right now (it was the only one capable of running Kingdom Hearts 358/2).

  2. :) good job!

  3. Naridar// desmume is good… but unlike nogba, it is just too slow

    on lot of the games. I like Desmume because it has portrayal of

    the games’ colour. But no gba, along with its myzoom tool, it can

    run most of the games with fast speed and larger screens.

  4. Great progress. Keep up the good work :)

  5. Looks like 2 months later I’ll have finished this game
    :)

  6. Actually Desmume is not slow.
    I’m saying that, becuse it runs every game I tried on full speed.
    That proves that your computer is slow.

  7. no$GBA works fine for me. I’ve got no reason to switch emulators.

  8. Anybody try using their flashcards to play movies? I love it…! YouTube is the best place to get videos for it, or streaming websites… But ya’ gotta’ have Mozilla Firefox with the DownloadHelper app installed…

  9. you said less talk… lol…jk…GREAT JOB GUYS!!

  10. Oi, then there’s the trouble of downloading converters to convert the video into a format the flashcard can understand…

  11. Looks very good! nice vid.
    Good luck on the rest of the skits!

  12. I LOVE YOU! this is so awesome! i had though i was never going to see a ds tales game in English… thank god for you!

  13. it’s going veeerrry nice ppl, keep it up!!

  14. NIIIICE… that is awesome… i’m glad im not playin the game right now cuz that wuld make it boring for me when this amazin english patch comes out

  15. where is the download link of the english patch of tales of innocence? can someone help me? thanks i really like tales game…rpg rocks!!!!!!

  16. there is a patch in gbatemp for this game,but when i download it and patch my rom…the game is still in japanese..wats wrong? can someone tell me why?thanks!!!…rpg rocks!!!!!

  17. I don’t know if I should even reply or not but here goes….

    If you looked around on the website for 2 minutes you’d learn that the full translation patch is not out yet. And nothing irritates translation teams more than someone asking where their patch is when it’s obviously not out yet.

    I believe there is a basic menu patch (which you have apparently found) but all it does is change some menu stuff so it’s readable (equipment, items etc).

    If you want a full patch you’ll just have to wait like the rest of us.

  18. Dude, seriously. I can’t stand people who don’t read stuff before actually asking about where the patches are. All you have to do is read two or three replies on this page to know that the full transaltion patch is not ready yet.

  19. Don’t be mistakened with shack0l’s message. He just said ur great man!..

    Its my first post here actually and im watching this project from the beginning (wow, that was a year ago!).

    Well just as everyone here, i can only say keep up the good work! Mabuhay ka pare!

    (haha didnt expect a pinoy like shak0l to be here)

  20. ok i’ll wait,thanks guys!!hehe.. sorry for being stupid.. BTW.. can i just ask? is there any of you know where to find an english patch for ragnarok online ds? who among of you plays RO..i’m from the philippines so i play PRO..hehe,..pinoy din aku noh!:D

  21. @meku

    pinoy here too haha. i didnt expect you guys are waiting for this patch too.

    anyway keep up the great work throughhim =]

  22. … there is a 100% Trans Patch for Ragnarok Online DS @ gbatemp.net
    BUT, if you are expect a mmorpg, you’ll be disappointed.

    Other than that, great job throughhim. Finished just 10min ago my “Final Fantasy runtrough for Dissidia” ( FF1 – FF12 )

    NOW! Let’s play Dissidia until ToI is released xP

    CANT FRIGGIN WAIT!

  23. Wow looking good. Hope it will come out and be played by everyone.
    ^_^

  24. @ Dahl

    ..uhm can i ask again?,uhm are you sure that patch for RODS is 100%.. because some rumor i heard they stop patching the game because there is a release of RODS in north america this coming winter??? hehe.. but i hope wat youv said is real..hehe thanks anyway.. i’ll try to download it right away..hehe..THANKS!

    BDW..throughhim thanks!! keep it up!! IDOL!!!!!!

  25. good work! now well just wait

    btw am i the only one that thinks that you got the name from a freezepop song…*ejem*guitar hero*ejem*

  26. @paupau

    You’re correct, they’ve stopped the translation because there’ll be an official one. but they’ve translated a great part and is perfect to see whether your like it or not.

  27. @star

    haha, thats good to know…

  28. still waiting for the patch..hehe keep it up throughhim! you did a great great job!!!

  29. and the download?

  30. @feldark

    If you’re searching for a link to the patch, there isn’t one. It’s not done yet.

  31. I just want to let you guys know that Absolute Zero Was Mentioned in an article on siliconera about fan translations. Way 2 Go Guys!!!

    For anyone who wants to read it, here’s the article:
    http://www.siliconera.com/2009/08/30/tales-of-fan-translations/

  32. @paupau – just so you know, there is no current release date for the patch. Some of us are hoping it will be out this year, but it might not. If you’re coming back every couple of days expecting to see it released soon, you might need to prepare for a bit of a wait.

  33. @LoneWolf: Hah. I liked the comment that someone posted blaming this project for the fact that Innocence hasn’t been officially localized. It gave me a good laugh.

  34. Lets keep it in mind that failco aka namco is the true mastermind behind all this. They could accidentally make some money if they localized ToI and ToH.

    Ps I´ll name my childs throughhim 1 and troughhim 2 after Ill get the patch.

  35. ..waiting

  36. @paupau: You’re not the only one waiting. The patch still has a long way to go. If you’re going to continue spamming, you’ll find your comments quickly deleted in the future.

  37. thank you for the update. we will wait patiently ^^

  38. @throughhim413

    sorry for what i’ve said..i’m really really sorry..ok, we will just wait patiently..

  39. If you don’t mind me asking, when you say skits, you mean the actual story line, right? Not the optional skits (The ones that are portrayed with the portraits)?

  40. @Blitcenary

    No, he means the optional skits really. I think he is already done with the actual storyline translation (though I’m not sure)

  41. heh kewl u guys are almost done can’t wait

  42. Just wondering, are you guys planning to throw an easter egg of your own in there? If you’re going to go through translation, you might as well have fun with it. Unless it’s actually impossible to change stuff around…

    Anyway, thanks for the translations. You’re doing a lot of people a favour.

  43. Its fun to wait for this project until its done because it keeps my NDS an important thing for me….(^_^)

    Keep the good work and tnx for giving your time for finishing this stuff..

  44. Hey I was wonderin if anyone knew of any other worthy fan translations out for the DS im hoping tempest has one…….I’m a loyal tales fan lol

  45. @Shackol: The DS has a lot of games worth waiting. Some couldn’t believe that DS dominates over PSP. “Smark” gamers know what’s the better deal. :)

  46. Apparently, throughhim just finished another project while he’s doing TOI, and it’s a retranslation of symphony of the night for the PS1.
    Here’s a link to the project page, along with the patch:
    http://www.romhacking.net/trans/1427/

  47. I translated that 2 years ago. I haven’t touched it since then.

  48. Anyone know of a translation of Super robot wars W and K anywhere……I’m also sadly one of the few diehard SRW fans lol

  49. hi throughhim413

    just want you to remind you that it’s been over 2 weeks since the last update. I think you should post a new one soon just to let everyone know how you’re doing. No need to do a video update if it takes too long, just some quick update will be fine.

    That’s just my opinion as someone who’s visiting this website almost everyday just to check whether there’s an update or not :D
