This patch translates the game Irodzuki Tingle no Koi no Balloon Trip into English.
The game is a spin-off of the Legend of Zelda series and is somewhat obscure because it was only released in Japan. Its prequel Tingle's Rosy Rupeeland was criticized by many for its gameplay elements, mostly because of the bartering system.
Tingle RPG 2 is a point and click adventure game, while paying tribute to several genres such as classic dungeon crawlers, JRPGs, and even dating sims. And while Rupeeland was released in English, Balloon Trip of Love wasn't.

Translation notes
The credits are not completely localized; the cinematic that plays alongside them is translated, but the actual credits (i.e. the names of the development staff) remain in Japanese.
There is one very small, insignificant piece of Japanese text that remains untranslated due to technical reasons. It appears near the end of the game, and translates to "Double Tap!".
You can find a walkthrough of the game here. Written by one of the translators, waldrumpus, the guide walks you through the entire main storyline, and it also tells you how to complete 100% of the game's side quests.
FAQ
Q. What is this all about?
This is a fan translation project for Ripened Tingle's Balloon Trip of Love, a Nintendo DS game released in 2009. It is sometimes referred to as Tingle RPG 2.
Q. 2? I didn't know there was even a 1!
The first game, Freshly-Picked Tingle's Rosy Rupeeland, was released in 2006 and was released in 5 languages, including English, in Europe.
Since the DS was not region locked, North American players can import the game and it will play on every DS model, including the 3DS.
Q. Where do I get the ROM?
You have to dump it off of your own cartridge. There are many tutorials for this, involving either a DS Lite or a 3DS.

Compatibility
As far as emulation goes, for Windows, DeSmuME or NO$GBA should both suffice for this translation patch. For Android users, Drastic is recommended, and is the best option overall if you have a good enough device.
If you want to play it on a real DS, you will need a flashcart. If you have a regular DS or DS Lite, any one will work. If you have a DSi or 3DS, you must make sure that it is compatible with the latest version, or install CFW (3DS only) to bypass flashcart blocks.
