The Promise of Haruhi Suzumiya
(American English translation)
Patch Version: One

(How to Patch the ISO)

The custom patching program included in this set can be used to patch The Promise of Haruhi Suzumiya from Japanese into American English.

Just open the patching program and press the "Translate" button, select the iso (although the two are not identical, either the standard or deluxe releases will work with this patcher), and the game will be fully patched.

If you wish to save space and have a much smaller iso file, you can choose to trim out any combination of voices, music, sound effects, or movies. (Just click the boxes within the "Rip" section to remove that selection from the patched rom.)


(Project History and Credits)

This project was started by Zarradeth and Soywiz (the original hackers), who made huge progress with the game early on. They assembled a team of many translators and planned to translate it into several languages via an impressive in-browser text editor, but for various reasons, their project wasn't proceeding smoothly.

Tom (the translator) decided to help finish translating the script after coming across their project. Despite being unfamiliar with the story, he ended up redoing most of the work that was already done, and brought the script translation to 100%, but then the project stalled for years.

Finally, EsperKnight (the hacker) took over the project (with Zarradeth and Soywiz' blessing), and he was able to fix all of the remaining issues.

Although Zarradeth had done many of the in-game images, not all of them had been done, so Cargodin (the image editor) finished the remaining issues and timed the subtitles for the movies.

Special thanks to "casual_scrub," who managed to beat every ending of the game and confirm that it is fully playable.
