It’s been a long hard road, and there’s more still to come, but the ever-persistent Gyakuten Kenji 2 fan translation team has made its first release! The patch covers cases 1 and 2 of the game.

For a full status update, including how to help finish the patch, please see the post at the old C-R forums; registration is required. You can also check out the full readme here.

Hit the jump for all the details and the download!





To play the game, you must have a clean ROM of Gyakuten Kenji 2 (C-R will not provide this). I’ll let project leader Auryn explain the rest:



For this patch we offer you 2 patch formats:

BEAT:

Xdelta:



For Xdelta, choose the Xdelta download link, decompress the patch, run Xdelta UI, select your ROM, select the patch, then “Patch” when you finish, play it on emu or transfer to your micro SD card. Remember to keep a copy of the clean ROM for future patches (we have yet to decide if we will make a progressive patch or you will always need to use a clean ROM.For this patch we offer you 2 patch formats:BEAT: http://www.romhacking.net/utilities/893/ Xdelta: http://www.romhacking.net/utilities/598/ For Xdelta, choose the Xdelta download link, decompress the patch, run Xdelta UI, select your ROM, select the patch, then “Patch” when you finish, play it on emu or transfer to your micro SD card.

And a few words on bugs and feedback:

5) Known issues

a) One issue affecting your gameplay are the voice command (when you screem “Hold it” or “Objection” to your NDS), they seem broken.



b) A second issue is that when you load a savegame, it’s possible that you will get an empty text box.

Don’t be scared, the next text will show up as usual.

If you are on a cross examination, you can go forward and back and you will get the missing text.



At the moment there are no other known issues.



Please report any problems you encounter when playing the game.



6) Feedback

Your feedback, corrections, suggestions etc… are naturally welcome.

When posting corrections / typos / text overflows, please be clear on where it happens and if possible with a screenshot.

If you have problems like freezes, glitches or messed up screens, please specify what configuration you are playing with:

emu/flashcard, version, OS and naturally where it happens.

A thanks to DeMatador, Tateyuki Shigaraki and Henke37 because those are the people that tried to start this project back in April 2011 even if they didn’t know much about ROM hacking and a special thanks to the first 2 for letting me take over (involuntarily) the head of this project. Being at the head of such a big project and big group is equaly an honor as an hard work.

Some other people that didn’t work directly on the project but still was around for decisions or supports:

Permafry_42, Lusankya and all that helped in anyway (example all those people that helped choose the names of the characters in the game).



Thanks to all the people that supported us in this project since the beginning (or later on) and thanks to all the fan that gave us the energy to continue this work.

Naturally thanks to Capcom for making the game.



In rememberence of the passed away “Sato Sarushiro” (AKA “Katherene”). She was a big fan of GK2 and sadly she will never play the english version.

Let’s give a big hand to the team - they’ve been working hard these past few years, and with an official AAI2 release all but impossible at this point, they’re letting everyone who can’t speak Japanese get a shot at this missing piece of the Ace Attorney puzzle. Well done!
