More info about the original translation project can be found on the new project's site.

Game information

Japanese title	アイドルマスターSP ワンダリングスター
English title	Idolm@ster SP - Wandering Star
Japanese title	アイドルマスターSP ミッシングムーン
English title	Idolm@ster SP - Missing Moon

Requirements:

• This is written for Windows.
• Dump your game to ISO.
• UMDGen or any similar tool that allows you to modify psp .iso files.
• Download imas_sp_tl.zip.
  • It is advised to extract the contents of the .zip in a \imas_sp_tl\ folder for the patching .bat scripts to work without issues.
  • This zip file has images from TLWiki, scripts and mails. This text should be included on a .txt too.
• Get perl working (ActivePerl was advised by the original hacker of the project).
• Download imas-patcher (Get imas-psp-2009-04-15 (directory inside).zip) and extract it on \imas_sp_tl\.

1 Open your .iso file:

• Use UMDGen for this (File - Open Disk Image), 7zip or whatever and extract YUMFILE_*.bin from the \PSP_GAME\USRDIR\ folder into the imas_sp_tl folder.
  • YUMFILE_1.bin - Perfect Sun (PS)
  • YUMFILE_2.bin - Wandering Star (WS)
  • YUMFILE_3.bin - Missing Moon (MM)

2 Run patch_scripts.bat:

• Please make sure to follow its initial instructions. Wait until it finishes, this step will need some time.
• This process will decode all the japanese scripts from the game and re-encode them with the english script lines. When it finishes successfully, it will leave a new, modified YUMFILE_*.bin back at \imas_sp_tl\. If some random gibberish shows up on the command window, patch may have failed.

3 Repack the .iso:

• Open your .iso file with UMDGen (File - Open Disk Image), place the new YUMFILE_*.bin inside the \PSP_GAME\USRDIR\ folder (Right click - Add - Existing Files or just drag and drop).
• Delete all content from the \SYSDIR\ folder and add the EBOOT.BIN located at \imas_sp_tl\.
• Press File - Save as - .iso and save it with another name. DO NOT OVERWRITE YOUR ORIGINAL .iso.

4 Patch images and lines:

• Run the imas-patcher-plus.exe located inside \imas-patcher-plus\ and press Select ISO...).
• After this, select Add files... and choose all the files inside \patcher_content\ (lines.txt, images and mails).
• Press Apply (2-3 warnings may pop but it should be ok).

5 Done:

• It is advised to test your .iso on PPSSPP to check possible crashes or broken texts. You can preview the latter by leaving the game on the "Press Start" screen, since random ingame dialogue will show up after a while. If the text looks ok, everything should be fine.
• If something fails during this process, or you just want to check more documentation, more readme files which may provide more in-depth explanations are available inside the /imas-psp/ folder.

(Extra) DLC Mails:

• Add the files in mail_dlc into your \PSP\GAME\NPXP00100\MAIL\ folder.
