by jjjewel
########################################################

*The rom must be Tomodachi Collection v1.1.
(There are different versions of rom around. You need to use the
one with v1.1. I didn't test the patch with other versions.)

*Patching instruction is in a readme file that is distributed
with the English patch.

Translation Status:
===================

- Most of the important stuff that you need to play the game are translated.

- The translation patch is provided as is. I appreciate your feedback and
please point out if you find any mistakes, but I cannot guarantee whether
I will release any more patches after this.

What are NOT fully translated:

- Job descriptions. I just blanked them out.

- Mii News. Only about half of them were translated but that should cover
all the important news.

- Songs. Some translated text in the lyric might be cut off in the middle
but it will show up in full when you select it.

Notes:
======

- A lot of things in this game won't sound like proper English due to
the Japanese language structure and some limitation in hacking. And
the game won't automatically change capitalization so there will be
words in the middle of a sentence that start with capital letters.

- English is not my native language and I know I probably made a lot of
mistakes in the translation. I'm really sorry about that but you'll just
have to bear with it.

- Some mini-games require that you know Japanese in order to play.
(Just make some guesses then. You can win items from other mini-games.)

- I changed Katakana font for Japanese sound. Use it instead of English
alphabets to get your name pronounced the way you want because the game
can't pronounce English name. English names will be pronounced letter by
letter instead. (Ex. "Kay" is pronounced as K-A-Y. You should use Japanese
equivalent sound of "KE E" or "KE I" instead.)

- If you name your character with romanized katakana, it will show up as
Japanese katakana in some parts of the game. (Ex. Job diagnosis.)

Problems:
=========
- The game only works on some specific flashcarts and firmware because
of its anti-piracy protection. If it freezes when you configure your
character (after you name your island), then it doesn't work on your
cart and I can't help you with that. You need to upgrade the firmware,
etc. to make it work. (As I tested, it didn't work on No$GBA but it
worked on DesMuMe. On my R4 card, it didn't work with YSMenu but
worked with R4 Woods.)

- I didn't test the Connection Mode where you can connect and transfer
characters and items to other DS or Wii. I don't know if it will work
or not.
