Earth Seeker is a Japanese action role-playing game developed by Crafts & Meister and released for the Wii console in 2011. The game is set in a post-apocalyptic world where players take on the role of a character named Kiro who is part of a group called "Earth Seekers" on a mission to find a new home for humanity.
The gameplay features a mix of action and exploration, and players can also mine and gather resources to use in crafting and upgrading weapons. The game also features a day-night cycle and weather changes that affect gameplay. It was not released in western countries and the game is not well known among the English speakers.
Description
This patch will translate the Japanese version of Earth Seeker for Wii into English. It can be applied to both retail discs and ISOs, and a tutorial is included in the accompanying "README" file. The patch uses lowercase font, but an alternative version with uppercase font is also available.
If you experience gibberish on Dolphin, adjust the texture cache to "safe" in the "Graphic Parameters" under the "Hack" section. On July 19, 2022, an "ODEKAKE edition" of version 2.03 was released, which only updates parts of the game that are available when connecting a DSi with the DSiware game "ODEKAKE EARTH SEEKER" installed. The rest of the patch remains unchanged.
Installation
If you have a physical copy of the game (which you frankly should, I got mine for the equivalent of 20 US dollars), you can use Riivolution to apply the patch « on the fly », without having to modify any ISO.
You will need a Wii console, a physical copy of the game, and an SD card.
Extract the contents of the « RIIVOLUTION » folder from the zip file in the root of your SD card.
You should then have three folders:
- The first one, called « apps », actually contains a copy of the Riivolution homebrew,
- The second one, called « ES_eng », contains the files that will replace the ones on your disc,
- The third one, called « riivolution », contains a « xml » file, necessary for the software to know where the files to be patched are on the disc.
Put the SD card back in your Wii, boot the console, and insert the game.
Open Riivolution, either from the Homebrew Channel or, if you have installed it, from the forwarder channel on your Wii menu.
You should now see the following screen, with the English translation activated by default: just click on « launch », and the game will be automatically translated!

- Translated Japanese parts from “main.dol”: now the game shows English message when losing connection to the mote or when the nunchuk / classic controller is unplugged,
- Replaced the tweaked “Hold to skip” and “collection” text by a translated one (didn’t know it was in the “main.dol” file till recently),
