This patch will translate the Wii game Ougon No Kizuna (黄金の絆) (aka "Golden Bonds") in English.

It can be applied to both retail discs and ISOs, and a tutorial is included in the accompanying README file.

Installation

All the methods described below need for your Wii to be modded, and have the Homebrew Channel installed. Please look for a tutorial on the Internet if you don't know how to mod a Wii.

Patch the disc with Riivolution

If you have a physical copy of the game, you can use Riivolution to apply the patch on-the-fly, without having to modify any ISO (easiest method). You will need a mod Wii console, a physical copy of the game, and an SD card.

Extract the contents of the « SD Card » folder from the zip file in the root of your SD card: you’ll get the following folders:

• "Apps" contains a copy of the Riivolution homebrew,
• "Codes" contains various optional Gecko codes to ease up the game,
• "KIZUNA_eng", contains the files that will replace the ones on your disc;
• "Riivolution", contains a "xml" file, necessary for the software to know where the files to be patched are on the disc.

Insert the disc, and open Riivolution from the Homebrew Channel or the forwarder channel on your Wii menu. You should now see the see the Riivolution screen, with the English translation activated by default: just click on "launch", and the game will be automatically translated!

Using Dolphin Emulator

If you're using emulation, Dolphin has a very convenient feature to apply Riivolution patches "on the fly", just like a modded Wii would do. First open the following folder in your computer:

• Documents/Dolphin
• Emulator/Load/

Find the "Riivolution" subfolder (or create one), and import the "Riivolution” and "KIZUNA_eng" folders from the zip file. Open Dolphin, right click on the game, and select "Start with Riivolution Patches".
