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 won’t be using this unless there’s a CG version available… I really want to play this, and I think the anime cutscenes for this game are really ugly and they don’t fit the sci-fi setting of the game whereas the CG does… please, tell me, will there be a CG version available? I hope so.

He probably didn’t tell you this, but he’s actually mixing the two together in a seamless blend of animation and CG for the best looking game ever.
May 28, 2011 at 1:10 am | Permalink
Are they still working on the patch because I can’t wait for the full game to be translated ._.

Very a good work ! Thank you very much !

This translation is looking good. I look forward to playing the game again with this in effect. Some tell me to simply learn Japanese, but its not really as simple as that. Anyways, nice work Kajitani.
June 18, 2011 at 1:15 am | Permalink
I’m really excited! Wish you luck Kajitani!

I played it on the 3DS but for some reason cant load the save file any help ?

@Ariel Lopez
not sure if srs
But in the event that you are, open the text file inside the patch folder. There will be this file that includes the words “read” and “me”. In case you didn’t realize, you’re supposed to read that. I know it’s a bit unreasonable for anyone to expect you to know that you’re supposed to read the file, since you’re not psychic. It’s not like the two aforementioned words suggested in any way, shape or form that you might want to read the file. etc.
If that doesn’t work, you have to have Sony’s Vita, convert/transfer the patched ROM and then run it on that.

Wow dude dont be a dick
July 6, 2011 at 8:16 pm | Permalink
I apologize for my rude comment/response, but that was a pretty stupid question. The readme stated that you could not load the game, the entire demo patch update stated that you couldn’t, and if that wasn’t enough, THIS page linked to both of them in the FAQ. >_>

Well sorry bro it’s that im such a Tales fan and Simply didn’t read any faq cause it was given to me by a friend soo he didn’t tell I could’n load my save file I was soo excited for it to be on english that i kept playing for like 8 hours only putting the DS on standby next morning when I turned it on and tried to load the file guess what ? surprise ….fuck i could’n load the file but thanks anyway for giving me a chance to try it out on english and at least know the beginning of the story 🙂

@ Ariel Lopez
8 hours? I’m sure you would’ve noticed by then that the rest of the game wasn’t translated…
In other news, Captain America sucked big, hairy, WWII-era plutonium-239 irradiated balls, as predicted by Nostradamus. Now we’ll never get Xenoblade…

Hey dudes ! I’d enjoy playing this demo , but I don’t succeed with patching it. I tried a lot of cleaned roms, and even tried to use a Cleaner, but still doesn’t work.
Could somebody help me? share a patched rom on share files websites?
Thanks and have nice holidays !
PS : sorry for my bad english way of talking, I’m french . God save Kaji !

what
people actually took that vita part of the post seriously
omg

You lot of unbelievers will be crying and hating when the patch gets released. Buy a 3ds now so you can load in the demo and buy a Vita as soon as you can because Kajitani may release the patch sooner than we expect. Just don’t say you weren’t warned.

wow! the progress bar moved almost one %, nice!!!, though i hope we won’t wait for 8 years of tales for it to be done….:P

December 23, 2011 at 12:52 am | Permalink
Well didnt Innocence take 1.5-2 years to do? well this is worth the weight, why? cause we all know we’ll all play the crap out it like all the other tales games (100+, 2-4 play throughs)… guessing summer 2012 or feb 2013. My random ETA dont read to much into

Perhaps you missed that I edited your previous comment, so I will state it again here: Please do not beg for ROMs here. Don’t do it again.

Keep up the good work Kajitani!!!~ 🙂

@Kajitani
So now i know it 😀 you are reading our comments 🙂
Im checking your website since some years now 😀 and i hope you are done soon 😛 it would be great when you tell us how far you already are…
February 7, 2012 at 9:18 pm | Permalink
Kaji’s posted before several times.. just sayin.
February 10, 2012 at 2:18 am | Permalink
Hope the translation finished soon, I bet this game had an interesting storyline,but I can’t read any words of Japanese, then I never understand or knowing the story abouts (though I studied 2 years in high school lol)
Keep up the good work…

wew! back again, after a few more months, just checking if any progress has been made, (looks around), nope, still the same, o yeah, wait a minute, there was something that had changed, the previously eight years, has now been extended to nine years, WOW!, maybe by that time I’ll have a kid that could play this game, hopefully the translation will be finished by that time, well, time to place my DS on a time deposit box… well be sein you guys then, oh just a thought, it will take you about two years to learn how to read japanese, heck with proper tutorials and guidance, it could take less a year, maybe i’ll try that, not only did i learn to speak and read a different language, i could play this game, without relying on someone to translate it, and wait for the end of the world for its completion, hahaha, (gets up from chair), better start learning it then….adios
