“[…] with the real calendar. You won’t regret it.”
- Hilltop, lead developer of said translation patch
(the URL in the OP links to a trailer for the patch)
Meant to post this earlier, but better late than never, I suppose! I’ll be following along with the game in August—and by the way, Hilltop mentions that it only takes about 30 minutes per day, so it’s not a huge time commitment.
Here’s the tweet that I grabbed the post title from which also links to the patch (edit: wich is PS2 only):

And here’s the link directly to the patch to save you a click (make sure to read the readme for instructions on patching the ROM and tweaking the game settings in PCSX2—nothing major, just a few clicks):

Ever since seeing Tim Rogers’ Action Button video on the original Boku no Natsuyasumi, I’ve been very curious to play a game from the series. Looking forward to experiencing this in “real time”, so-to-speak, and I hope some of you will join me!
Separately, if you’re interesting in romhacking/reverse engineering, definitely check out Hilltop’s YouTube channel. The only reason I saw this tweet in the first place is because I followed him after seeing his excellent in-depth videos on PS1/PS2 romhacking.
I might try the psp version since my little retro console can’t handle ps2.
Unfortunately, the translation patch is only for the PS2 version :( It’s very simple graphically, for what it’s worth, although I’m guessing that doesn’t have a huge effect on emulation speed.
That’s so sad, I was also hoping to run it on psp. My emulation device of choice also doesn’t have ps2 support. Maybe it’ll be worth playing on my desktop…
I just didn’t know about the game and it looks interesting. I wouldn’t need translations so thats okay. My device also can’t handle some psp games :( so I am not quite sure about ps2.
