Due to the initial release of manual transcribing the game and this mod gaining some visibility and publicity to the scene a user who does not want to be named provided me a decrypted PS4 assets of this game and now this mod is now a full translation port of the PS4 assets. Some text is still manually transcribed since higher PS4 firmware eboots are still not decryptable and PS4 usm video files seem to not have subtitles in them (maybe also inside the eboot), while assets are. This also the reason why the Spanish port will still have a few English in them on the menu due to the eboot issues. Will do the French port after this whole covid19 thing.

Here’s an English port of Catherine: Full Body since Atlus decided not to localize it to the Vita then to rub more salt in our wounds decided to make a poll and include this game to one of the possible games to be ported to the switch. Oh yeah, Before I start and probably wondering how is this possible. I don’t have any secret hacks or exploits for the PS4 to get the English assets. This is just good old-fashioned transcribing text from numerous videos on YouTube and my own gameplay. So, most of the untranslated text you may see is the text that I have not encounter during my numerous playthroughs. Since there’s a bit progress on the PS4 scene about backporting and decrypting higher firmware games. I decided to wait for that process to mature, be public and have a more comprehensive guide before completing this port and save myself from manually typing what I see on the screen. The port is mostly playable, probably 70% and if you play just the story and ignoring random dialogs of the NPC’s you’ll mostly see English text and get all the 13 endings and since today is the anniversary of the release date of this game for the vita here’s the playable BETA English port for everyone to enjoy.
