This is a translation improvement patch for Chaos;Child on the PlayStation Vita to address issues with the official release, which was criticized for its translation quality. Chaos;Child is one of the few Science Adventure games officially released in English on the Vita, alongside Steins;Gate. The Committee of Zero initially developed an English improvement patch for the PC version, which was then adapted for the Vita.
The project, which took approximately two years to complete, was initially started by u/Zero999X (also known as Phantom) with additional provided support from Spazzery.
Features
- What do the patch do:
- Improved translation and consistent terminology (i.e. naming conventions).
- Previously untranslated CGs and backgrounds are now translated. Most importantly - the MAP which you need to use in-game to solve the mystery.
- System graphics are translated.
- Some system texts.
- Previously untranslated videos are now included in the translation.
- What's not there:
- In the end of the game, there's a few voice lines that weren't able to be translate, since they're just voice files. There wasn't a feasible way to get around that, unfortunately.
Installation
You have to have the game either installed or on a cartridge, a hacked Vita with plugins like rePatch, NoNpDrm, 0syscall6.
Download the zip file, extract it. Then take the rePatch folder (from the extracted zip file) and place it to ux0: through VitaShell via FTP or USB.
The patch was made for the European version (PCSB01075), but should also work with the US release (PCSE01022). Inside the patch folder, just rename the folder "PCSB01075" to "PCSE01022" and it should work just fine.
You can also use the game with the update (1.01) just fine.

v1.0
- First Release.
Credits
Special thanks to:
- RichardArc for offering to playtest and help and spoiling himself in the process, badspot for helping with playtesting and finding bugs, froid_san for helping me with the image format (the map!), Committee of Zero for making the fan patch and creating sc3tools, DanOl98 for creating MagesPack.
- Now finally, a good chunk of the SciADV games are well playable on the Vita. What's left is the Chaos;Head Love Chu Chu and Chaos;Child Love Chu Chu games (which will get English fan patches soon from Committee of Zero on PC), Occultic;Nine, and everyone's favorite Chaos;Head NoAH, which who knows if will ever be translated. But until then, let's enjoy what we do have.
