FAQ
Q. Help, it doesn’t work! xdelta says something cryptic like “XD3_INVALID_INPUT”. Why your patch doesn’t work?!?!
A. Thank you for your question. I’m not totally sure what the problem is, but it just might be that your INPUT is INVALID. Make sure you have selected the .xdelta patch as the “Patch” and your clean copy of the game as the “Source File”. If it doesn’t work, chances are good that your ROM is corrupted, trimmed, or patched with something else (i.e. not clean).
Q. Why I can’t load savegame?!?!
A. Thank you for your question. I am glad to see that you have exhausted all available resources that may address your issue before giving up and wasting everyone’s time by asking stupid questions. To answer your question, you must have a Nintendo 4DS Advance, or loading of your saved games will not work.
Q. Where is Translator’s Cut patch?!?! It’s impossible to find!!1
A. Thank you for your question. Have you considered reading the post? It just might help you figure out where the patch is. Still can’t find it? Are you sure you read the post? The entire post? Try reading it again. Still can’t find it? Sorry, but you must have a Sony Playstation SP Series S, or the download link will not appear.

I must say that I very much enjoyed your demo of TOH! Worked fine on my M3i Zero without a hitch! Very professional and on par with what Namco would’ve done, if not better in some areas (having the ability to change the names of the artes from Localized, Translated and Romanized for one—BIG props for that)! I also loved the work you put into TOI, and the menu translations for TOTW: Narikiri Dungeon 2 and 3 were “simple” but otherwise clean and of high quality.
…But I digress.
Overall, the project’s looking REAL nice, very pro, loving it! I know it’s a long process, but I really do hope you see this to the end. You do some very great translation work!
(In the mean time, I gotta hurry up and finish TOI and Keroro RPG so I can be on time to play this game!!)

Umm, do you have an expected date of finishing?

Tales of Hearts in English…Must be a dream…Pinch me!
Keep the good work! You’re awesome! I don’t know Japanese, but if are other way to help you finish this patch, I would proud to assist you out!^^

Man, I wish I could do something to help translate this very good RPG. =\ It’s my first year taking Japanese in college, and I’m no good at hacking or anything.
I just want to thank you for all of the effort you’re placing in this project and, I hope that it goes well. You are pleasing many Tales fans across the country. 🙂

WOW!! All the best dude after playing TOI which was an awesome trans im sure ull blow this one away the same 😉

sorry but if the translation of Tales of Hearts has been deleted or were just rumors

You leave Hearts in favor of World….and you call yourself a very Tales fan?
Maybe you don’t know,butthat Tales of the World it was never developed by Tales Studio,no one of then.
Tales of Hearts in a truly masterpiece,not my opinion,but the opinions of the people who start play the first Tales back in the era of SNes (( and it’n much more than your “seven years of Tales”))
You keep us all in suspence,I don’t know how much time I come visit this stupid page,and so my friends.the friends of my friends,my French friends,so my German friends,all the people from all the country have spent more than a wish about this project ;and now you say that there are more people playing Phantasia,then maybe when you’re trying to translate this new Tales some new Tales title will come out and maybe you give up everything to follow this new title….
You can have the ability to translate and program, but what you lack is experience, you can not make decisions like a true old-style player.
I’m sad,sad for your decision

the Translation is really going smoothly.
great job guys! ^^ I never expected it to be at 25% or probably even more?
Thanks again for all the efforts of the ones working on this project.
Because of ur hardwork we will finally be able to fully enjoy this game on english ^^
Good luck

Well if you look to the left, you can see that the progress bar has moved up. Good to see progress.

I had a question. If I already have Tales of Hearts (I have the CG version), is it possible to get this patch on an SD card and then just get the game cartridge patched so it’s in english?
January 16, 2011 at 7:42 am | Permalink
How is going the patch?
January 19, 2011 at 9:05 pm | Permalink
OMG! I wish I knew about this sooner! Once my break starts I’m gonna try this out!
Thank you all so much for doing this. You don’t know how happy this makes me!

It’s a shame that we’ll never actually see this patch completed, just like everything else Kajitani-Eizen started.
February 3, 2011 at 10:44 pm | Permalink
And this is why I don’t go looking for translation projects. I always find them before they’re finished and end up being bored for the entire wait time because suddenly no game compares to the game being translated.

please get to this i’ve herd amazing things about tales of hearts the demo was amazging but i would love to have the whole game to tie me over till graces f for the ps3(yes im 90% sure its for the ps3)

What difference does it make anyway? No valid email address is required to post here, it’s really easy to comment. In theory we may all be the same person.

I would assume that this is just for the anime version, however I am very very pleased to see this project isn’t dead yet. Please don’t get discouraged and keep up the good work. I played the demo and It’s quite interesting.

Gonna wait this game till it finished.Badly enough Namco Bandai cant make this one into english.
I can surely Donate if you want.
May 5, 2011 at 12:19 am | Permalink
a question, I have problem that when I keep starting and want to start the game does not open “continue” so that I can not move forward I do.
PS: If this game keep but it does not open
Best regards

Not bad, you’re about 1/4 done. I’m looking forward to completing the eng. translated version. I somehow managed to get through the game with the bits and pieces of japanese i could understand. Most of the tales’ fans are waiting on pins and needles for your work to bear fruit.
We all wish you good luck, and god speed.

P.s: Although it’s good to work, take your time, and don’t push yourselves.

@ Storyteller
The “A progress bar” isn’t exactly accurate; it’s only on here so people won’t spam with posts asking for one. So there’s really no telling how much they’ve gotten done so far. Can’t say this bothers me, as either way, you’re still left waiting until they release the completed patch.
May 6, 2011 at 4:02 pm | Permalink
Don’t listen to him, that bar is 100% accurate. Kajitani never said it’s just there for the lulz.
PERCENTAGES are a lie, progress bars are the real thing.
May 7, 2011 at 1:14 am | Permalink
Not on this site he didn’t. But elsewhere, he’s certainly implied it just a bit…
Go to the Tales forum and read around. Might’ve been on the Tales of Graces forum; I’m not sure (and I’m definitely not about to sift through all the posts again just to find a specific post of Kaji’s for you, regardless of whether or not you’re being serious in stating that the progress bar is legit)

Well at least you have a demo; hopefully you guys can complete your project soon.
May 12, 2011 at 2:49 am | Permalink
Huh… interestingly enough it seems that the progress bars for all 4 of his projects are on the EXACT same spot. Even check it out for yourself. Kind of wonder if those progress bars really are accurate or if he’s just evenly working on them all. Who knows. will just have to wait and see I guess.

I thought the project Bar was for total project, not just for each.

So how far along is this?
