I can’t say much besides that I’m really thankful to the author and the hackers for this amazing translation. Atlus, as always, did a dickish move restricting the re-release of Shin Megami Tensei I only for IOS. But now, thanks to this patch, we have that translation available to be played on every emulator or proper GBA via flash cart.

About the patch, only thing that I notice is the complicate to use patching mechanic. Most people are used to just use ips, beat or xdelta formats, so using the command line to make the patching process was kinda tedious, difficult and with the possibilities of having a lot of error in the process. I recommend the authors of this hack to create a little patching program, or at least, make use of a way less complicated patching process.

The translation is the same as in the IOS version, its the official one, so its the best we could have from Atlus, properly. The Aeon Genesis translation from the SF version is a little better, but it doesn’t cover the added content.

One things that could be for a future hack or for another hacker to implement as an improvement is to change the GBA music for the better sounding SF version, as the GBA versions has a lot of compression an it tends to crackle here and there sometimes.

Aside from that, this is a dream come true for al Megaten Fans out there. And its not a distant dream to see the GBA version of SMT II also translated in a near future.

Thank you, guys! Now I will continue playing this awesome translation patch ;)
