Alllright, so... I've been working on the patch and it's now a 800-line behemoth that I never wish to see again, but this time, it should hopefully actually allow translating everything in the game. But let's go in order.
1. Game download links.
There are links for v4.08 of part 1 and v4.06 of part 2 in another thread
over here.
I've also uploaded v4.08 of part 1 and
v4.09 of part 2 to mediafire:

If you've already downloaded v4.06 of part 2 and don't want to redownload the whole thing again, I've attached an archive with the files that changed (there's only 4 of them), so just get that and drop them into the folder to upgrade.
2. Patch and other translation tools.
You'll find (hopefully) all you need in "translation tools.zip". Here's what it includes:
- The patch itself
- A potential bugfix
- Scripts for unpacking and repacking the game's .pis image files
- A couple of .psd templates for you to test if the various text fits on the screen right
- A full save (sort of) that I took from the other thread and modified to unlock everything
- A sample translation
- Instructions on how to translate the different files
The patch still creates an editable version of the maps in data/bin/map-editable/. There's no more nonsense with using ;; in place of commas, though -- the patch now simply edits the game files to use a different separator. And then there's a lot of UI tweaks. Like, a LOT. Had to make text smaller and buttons bigger in a lot of places if there was any chance of English text reasonably fitting in there. Hopefully I got everything because I never want to look at that code again.
The "bugfix" is for the first battle tutorial, which I think has unintended behavior. It probably worked in a previous version, but no one bothered to change it. On turn two, the Japanese version tells you to play with the tutorial girl's boobs or ass, but it lets you use three skills: caress, dirty talk, and grope chest. Regardless of what you do, the girl reacts as if you've hit her weak spot, which is just the chest. So, with the fix, I made sure only the "grope chest" skill is available for that turn. Up to you if you want to apply the fix, I suppose.
Both the patch and the bugfix are to be put into the game folder and run with python.
For details, just read the included instructions.
The sample translation contains:
- The intro up until and including the first battle
- At least one of every type of data
- All of the menus translated (as well as just every string in the game code)
- The most important graphics translated
Drop it into the game folder after applying the patch.
3. PSD files for the graphics in the sample translation
You'll probably want to edit the text on at least one of the images in the sample translation, so here are the PSDs for all of them:

Okay, this should be everything. Please let this be everything
