85w ago - Today is a good day for Atelier-series fans! Similar to
Disgaea 4 PS3 translation patch released earlier,
Tidusnake666 on
PS3 News has updated his
work in progress and now shared a PS3 translation v0.1 of the Japanese version of Atelier Totori: The Alchemist of Arland 2.
Few thing to note before reading on:
- Translation was done with Microsoft Translator API based program, so sometimes it, frankly saying, doesn't make sense. But, story messages are natively (officially) English, although there're some padding problems, but they do make sense.
- Pretty much everything (skills, side-dialogues, locations, names, items, ingredients, even bestiary and much more) was parsed in translation, but approx.10% of text remained untranslated with original Japanese words. But I'm sure you can figure it out
- Voice acting will be in Japanese (cons of Japanese EBOOT)
- The game is fully untested, so there may be crashes, although I checked everything byte-by-byte.
- If you don't like it, do it better!
Instructions:
0. Obtain both JP (BLJM60241) and US (BLUS30735) version dumps of the game. Delete any game data on PS3 you have (you can leave your saves)
We'll be using US version as a base.
1. Replace US folder "PS3_GAME\USRDIR\Res\Sound" with the equivalent Japanese one.
2. Replace US PARAM.SFO with Japanese one
3. Replace US EBOOT.BIN with patched Japanese one:
Atelier Totori: The Alchemist of Arland 2 PS3 Translation v0.1 EBOOT (pass: PS3News.com)
4. Copy US version game on your ext./int. HDD, enjoy and play!

I hope it won't be too much $$...
It also works when used with the JPN game as a base, if that helps anyone who may be having difficulty with getting it to run by normal methods. Worked for me.
On a side note, would anyone in the forums know the name of Atelier Totori's trophy folder? (From the installation into the HDD, not the game's disc directory) Or somewhere it can be downloaded. Thanks...
Edit: Nevermind. Solved it. Complete re installation and works perfectly now. Thanks for the translation and help, Tidus.
The download link is on the attachment on the first page (v.012) - eb00t_totori_1.rar (6.21 MB, 111 views)
Also, the download link for the eboot isn't anywhere on this page. In addition, after looking on identical copies of this page via Google, there's an eboot link that actually is listed, yet the file's name is listed as "Atelier_Rorona_EBOOT_V01.zip". After downloading the file, it's password protected.
If possible, it would be appreciated if all proper instructions were listed from this page to make the process less complicated for those of us like myself that can't understand/or having difficulty running the game.
Edit: Apologies, just saw the password in the article.
TheGreatNeko, you maybe doing something wrong. Try launching any other game from original BD, then repeat the "hack process"
