We have decided to release a demo patch.
I know what you’re thinking… All along this guy has been decrying the concept of the open beta and now this… Well good news, I still am! That’s why it’s a demo and not an open beta! What’s the difference? We’re intentionally limiting your access to the game. The game will be set on a timer. We’ve decided to give you a three hour demo. Appetizers are meant to whet your appetite for the game, not spoil it, after all.
Patching instructions can be found in the included README file.
And while I understand that people might want to comment and share their impressions of the demo, please don’t ruin the experience for your fellow gamers.
OMG!!! I’m gonna try this out straight away!!!}
So happy
Well that was pretty kind of you TH. But I’ll do myself the honor of waiting an extra 1-2 months. I appreciate everything you’ve done though for the game, and have silently been waiting stalwartly for your release.
KAMPAI! (…why did I just make myself seem so weeaboo. XD)
Can you save the game and use it when the complete version is out ?
Great patch! So far everything seems fully translated, good job!
aaaaah … I still remember last year, Tales of Rebirth, wasn’t it? good times.
You guys sure have come a long way in one year, great job, mates :3
Oh I see, this is more complex than I initially thought.
Messed with the file a bit a removed the timer. Great game so far though!
nice!
thanks throughhim413!
Quite strange to see this coming out on April the first. Anyway, I’ll try this out straight away. Thank you very much TH, or better thanks to the whole team for this amazing work!
@Ohyeza:
Can’t wait, huh? Really, that’s not quite right that you do this, as even this demo patch was already a nice gesture of throughhim and he didn’t have to release this patch. Removing the timer to me seems like you don’t appreciate this gesture at all.
Hm, is all of the beginning proofread yet? I’m no native speaker so I might be mistaken, but I think I spotted a mistake or two here and there…
Apart from that though excellent job man! The translation has a really natural feel to it.
Works perfectly on R4 + YSmenu !
Those skits are hilarious.
On the same day as Kajitani-Eizan releases a Tales of Hearts demo patch? Which ALSO is April 1st?
*obliviously downloads the patch anyway*
AGTP also released the Tactics Ogre patch D:
It’s unlikely that the actyual timer was removed. As for any text errors, the skits haven’t been fully checked. Was the mistake in a skit?
everythings perfectly fine thoughhim! nice job!
@Koin: Indeed, but I’d rather play a game which HASN’T already been released in English
April Fool? Seems like a weird coincidence for such a great news.
Wow this is a cool update (Is it an april’s fool joke..?) But anyway, I’ll wait till the actual and full patch is out.
Cheers and good luck finishing the translation!
And I left my DS at home. Oh well, as much as I’m thirsty for some tales I’ll wait till full version. The apetizer would only make me want play more.
Yeah, I caught a few minor errors… let me write up a text file detailing them, in case you want it. But otherwise, great job, this is amazing so far!
Excellent, i’m speechless
Hmmmm, I’m INCREDIBLY suspicious of you, but I’m definetly gonna try it anyway. Thanks!
Not sure, it probably was a skit though. Good thing Kaji makes a list, I was feeling kind of stupid for not writing it down >_>
The Timer… not bad x)
Kingcom is really a genius =D
But i’m gonna wait for the full version,
thanks again Throughhim and Kingcom.
Knowing the world we live in, someone will try and edit the patch to remove your timer :/ . Regardless I can’t wait to try out this demo later tonight, keep up all the great work Throughhim and Kingcom
Thank you man, really appreciate it
Ok, So I got the demo to work and everything, with the validation. I also got to the end of it. If I am able to get that far then should the real patch work when you release it?
Trying to resist trying the demo… Fail… Can we get shiny new percentages to see? Looks like it’s coming along nicely! Keep up the good work!
i cant get it to work says failed to validate data
the demo wont work on No$gba, my TTDSi with latest firmware and neither will it work on my YSMENU with latest firmware
Each time it fails at validating the data.
i’ve just looked into the patched rom with DSLAZY, in the map ”overlay” (thats the map where all the game shizzle is suposed to be) the folder of this patched game is empty.
or something really strange is happening
or this is a 1 april thingy
(i guess its the second)
Never patched before, took me a few trys, but got it working!
trying it now ^^
I love you guys. No homo. Lol seriously though, great job you guys are doing.
If it fails validating, you can try rerunning the validation (sometimes it works the second time) or you can try repatching. However, I would try rerunning it before you apply the patch again.
Is this one of your April Fool Jokes… if so very good ^^
but ill be a sucker and try considering everyone else comments
Thanks for the patch!
Idai naru Nippon banzai!
I thought it was a fake until the 2nd time it validated.. make sure you try re-running the validation test.
Patch Get!!!

YOU GUYS ARE GOD!!
This is very good guys! Thanks for the dedication
I know i shouldn’t ask this, but does this mean the full thing might come out in the near future???
Know that i am very thankful for the demo.
if i wasnt aware of the date id say this was reaally weird. Releasing a demo patch when sooo close to completion doesnt make any sense
Magnificent work guys. After trying this demo I can’t wait for the full thing!
[...] Grab yours here (thanks Brandon!) addthis_pub = 'cortjezter'; addthis_hide_embed = false; addthis_options = 'delicious, digg, email, facebook, google, live, myspace, slashdot, stumbleupon, twitter'; Permalink [...]
Thanks throughhim413 ^^
It was awesome your patch!
after a lot of minutes i could finaly play ToI…or not.
That was a great prank, but making that repeat the validation was a little too far.
I have more to do you know?
Are you kidding Bajol? it worked for me after the second try.
Heh, did you plan this with the Tales of Hearts team as well? I forget which one it was, but they (he/she/it/on/mann/se) released a patch for 1hr of gameplay around this time as well, I think!
Hey mate, I discussed your demo on my blog, go check it out. :]
