Steins;Gate My Darling's Embrace PSP English patch v0.0.1 (CyroPynical)

Known Issues

• Button prompts are reversed: X is indicated as Confirm and O as Back, contrary to the default Japanese layout where X is Back and O is Confirm. They're mixed up because the assets were taken from the S;G PSP English patch.
• Text glitches occur in Kurisu's route's conclusion (approximately 6 lines) and in the middle of Luka's route, twice: first affecting 4 lines and secondly consuming around 20 lines. Despite extensive troubleshooting efforts, no feasible fix was found without sacrificing other text. Seems like a memory issue with how the text is stored.
• Phone texts remain untranslated, while the mails themselves are translated. Given previous experience with the original Steins;Gate on PSP or other platforms, the untranslated phone menu may not pose a significant inconvenience.
• System texts may be recognizable if you've played the PSP version previously.

More minor issues:

• The backlog is often messed up (text is scrambled). However, what's neat is you can go back in time in the backlog. So use that feature, as it's exclusive to the PSP.
• Sometimes the text glitches and seemingly gets stuck. You can get unstuck by quickly pressing the start button and then the triangle or R button quickly after that.
• Sometimes rarely used names aren't inside the nametag.

Changelog

v0.5

• First Release.
