I knew it, I KNEW IT. I knew I had to do the goddamn backups for all the work! Now there’s no more Innocent Sin translation sources left and I’m going to have to cancel the patch entirely.:( So, this was going to be the big release day, and IT ACTUALLY IS!
Yeah, I was kidding about the whole delay thing, sort of. And for those who were claiming that the delay was due to technical problems masked as something entirely different, the patch was already finished the day I announced beta testing, or that step wouldn’t have started at all. I know how to plan something a month ahead, especially when the work is pretty much done and only needs some fixes (which were added the very first and last days of beta testing, along with weekly typo corrections). Well, I believe this is where the story about the delay dies forever and never comes back. Now go and find another way to start a new drama, you’re welcome. Anyway, for those who are not interested in reading the rest of the news and only want to play the translation now, get it from, check the Download section and follow the instructions inside the archive.

And for those who can actually wait a few more minutes before game full immersion, here’s a nice trailer of the translation, all for you: Unfortunately there was no time to implement the Black Joker and the Set button for fusion spells (fusion detection is there, tho). I guess you’ll have to wait v1.1 for those. A new release is not planned yet, and it will probably never happen unless there are a shitload of errors (mainly typos, weird bugs, or fatal crashes) with the current patch. Still, the current release is fully enjoyable and those who never played Eternal Punishment before won’t even notice what’s missing. So, let’s recap the features of this release:.
Persona 2: Innocent Sin is the first half of the Persona 2 duology, and the only one that Western audiences originally didn't get - until the PSP era, in which it was the only one we did get. Thanks, Atlus.
Full translation for all text in game;. Soft subtitles for the movies that needed a translation (intro and ending part 1);. Several fixes to the original bugs of the game;.
No slowdowns on the Ps2 due to frequent VRAM accesses;. Full compatibility with real hardware (i.e. Buring the patched ISO on disc will produce a working copy); Speaking of hardware compatibility, I need to put a little stress of this aspect. I’ve seen many people asking if the game would work on console X or emulator Y. It works on both Playstation and Playstation 2 with no problems at all, but they do need to be modded or no deal. For emulator lovers, use ePSXe 1.60 ( not 1.70, which glitches at the staff roll sequence).
As for the PSP, the current build of Pops (4.02) is a little unstable in battle. Sometimes it will even crash during the final battle with some particular Persona formations, but I really don’t know what’s triggering the crash. Anyway, I was able to clear the game on my PSP with only one random crash in battle in Caracol. That said, it’s time to thank the people who made all of this possible!
- The voice acting on the ps1 version is fucking garbage and ruins some of the most emotional moments. Also the translation is pretty shoddy compared to innocent sin's psp translation. I'll take jp voices and a halfway decent translation over the cringe-a-thon that is p2ep's english dub ANY day of the week.
- Here it is, the updated Undub of Persona 2: Innocent Sin. It will replace all of the English voiceovers with the original Japanese ones. Original Undub was 99% complete, it only didn’t undub the final cutscene which this update finally does.
First of all Tom, my awesome collaborator who translated alone the whole huge game script (it’s over 3 MB). Then we have our great beta testers: cidsa, Golden Philemon, Paracelso, Schildkrote, and SlyStrife. Also thanks to for the stunning trailer he made for this project! Last but not less important, all donors, Mansoor in particular. And everybody else who I might have forgotten (sorry!). Thank you everybody for helping me throughout these two well spent years! A few final words: comments are open again.
You can flame and kill each other all you want. If you have any serious problems about the patch that you’d like to report, please post. Now go and play the goddamn thing already!
PS: While you’re at it, go and show your support at the and. And if are Italian, do the same for the. Ta-chan said the game’s working perfectly so far (inside sevens) even changing bg wallpaper & grid. The only problem i encountered so far is the save process. Whenever i choose a memory card and the “Checking memory card” dialog appears.the game goes ultra slow that i can see the next “SAVE” screen opening in multiple frames (few seconds between each frame)and then it just freezes when it opens completely (where you see the memory slots).
But I can still cancel the process (hit X and go back to the game). I think it’s because i chose a very slow writing speed.but i don’t know.

I’m playing on PSOne, created the image using X2 speed and a writing of X2 too (for both image and sound). Tom (Translator) said Hmm. This may be a result of the custom patching format. I know that Gemini released a custom patcher to drastically reduce the size of the patch. Perhaps this caused some sort of glitch in the saving system, because none of the beta testers reported any of this stuff (but they were using the larger, ppf patches at the time). I think the smart thing to do is to wait until Gemini returns. I don’t think that changing your CD burning settings is going to help; you should probably save your blank CDs until Gemini comes to set things straight.
Hang in there, folks.:). Vinny said OK, update on the save issue I’ve been having. First off, the first time my save was corrupted, it was when I was using my name for the main. Vincent Papaleo, nick was Vinny. Save was corrupted outside Sumaru Prison.
Second time, I was just rushing through testing stuff, and I didn’t bother changing my name. Saved in school, everything fine. Now, third time, I’m playing through now that I fixed all video and sound bugs, changed my name to Vincent Papaleo, Vinny again, saved in school, and file is corrupted. It doesn’t like my name? I guess the issue isn’t WHERE I’m saving, but WHO I’m saving? Luckily, save states work, but I’d prefer a normal save. Tom (Translator) said There is a flag assigned in the game which checks whether or not you’ve changed the name.
(Certain lines in the game differ depending on whether or not you stayed with the default name) I would assume that if there’s a glitch here, it must have to do with the flag not saving properly If that’s the case, it’s not just your name Any other name that differs from the default should trigger the same flaw. Name changes were done during beta testing, and never triggered this problem before. Again, I’ll have to leave it up to Gemini. Ironjoe said You’re right of course. 4.01 works perfectly. Though it did suddenly invert colors, like a negative effect, after saving in Seven High.
One battle fixed it though. (I don’t care personally, just thought I would mention it.
FAQ
By no means am I asking you to fix it. I know its only meant to work on real hardware) I just wanted to confirm for those who missed it in the readme. My bad for not reading more thoroughly. And my god, this game is good. I haven’t enjoyed a soundtrack like this since Xenogears. Though the battle music is kinda repetitive.
On the whole translation is smooth and natural sounding. Though perhaps I should be learning Cantonese instead of Mandarin.
Lisa’s comments might make more sense. Harrison said Haha. You know, as I read the all is lost thing, before I expanded it, I had this gut feeling that you were yanking everyone. Nobody as talented as yourself makes such an amateurish mistake.
Outstanding work dude. Both you and Tom and everybody who was involved.
You’ve made a lot of people happy, myself included. Be proud man.
You’re a god among most of us normal people. Tell the naysayers to go screw themselves:) Again, great job. If you run any more translation projects, I’ll be watching. You’ve yet to turn out anything that’s disappointing:D. Keriaku said Not sure where the best place to put this is, but I might as well try here I’m playing on the PSP and I can’t even get the game to start. I can start up the game and get past the logos, but after the Atlus and R&D1 logos, the game just goes to a black screen and stays there. So I guess the game gets stuck when it tries to load the movie.
I know it’s not frozen because I can still get to the Home menu and such when this happens. I’m using 4.01 M33-2 firmwire. Could anybody help me? Tom (Translator) said Setite: I don’t want to think about how many hours I put into it. Let’s just put it this way – many sleepless nights went into this translation. The script was huge, and there’s a reason the project only jumped about a percentage or two at a time. I started studying Japanese over ten years ago Man, I guess now it’s more like fifteen years ago Time sure flies Ugh Anyway, I think Japanese is easier than the other language I’ve studied (French and Russian) – aside from learning the kanji, which is an ongoing process.
If you want to be able to speak it, you can become rather confident within one or two years You’ll know “survival” Japanese, and if you studied hard enough, you may be able to take a trip to Japan. After that, you just build on what you already know, and start using more complex sentence structures and expanding your vocabulary. Reading is a lot tougher (but many of the newest videogames now have voice acting along with the text, which makes it so much easier to “read”). Good luck with your studies.:) To those who want to know what’s next: I can only say Why are you worried about what’s next when you have one of the most incredible games to play right now? I’m glad to hear that so many people are pleased with the translation! I’m really happy to hear that!
LTSwordmaster said Awesome patch, I actually played Persona 2 EP up to the point where stuff starts to seriously talk about the events in Innocent Sin, so I was able to stop without spoiling anything and load IS to continue enjoying the plot. It is certainly one of the best examples of a good translation out of all the games I’ve played. As far as running on real hardware, I patched and burned my copy to play it in my PSX (NOT PSOne) and as soon as I got to Tatsuya’s name entry screen, the game started pausing every few seconds until I confirmed the name. It finally crashed completely when Hannya started to walk away from the bike afterwards. Important things to note: Used CDRWin to burn onto a Verbatim CD-R (read/wrote at slowest speed possible) & am using Breaker Pro 1.1 NTSC to swap into Innocent Sin. The game runs perfect (so far as I can tell) on my PC and my PSPsaves and all, but the PSX feezes.
In short, is it a bug, or do I need to burn with anti-copy protection settings/get a new burning program? LTSwordmaster said I’m running the latest M33 CFW on my PSP and I have not had any issues so far with running Innocent Sin. I.did. encounter the black screen issue, but only when I was playing around with compressing the.PBP and switching icons – I fixed it by converting my disc image again & it fixed it.
Am using the latest PSX2PSP to convert. NoOnesince it seems we are having the same issue, I’d like to know – is your game freezing as Hannya walks away? What are you using to boot your copy, and how did you go about burning it? Gemini – I have a breakdown of the issue we are encountering in post #166.
