Hi gamers,

As many of you may already know, PPSSPP is a PSP emulator for PC and Android (and a few other platforms/systems) that has recently allowed dumping games textures so as to edit them and load them.
This enables custom texturing, which in turn made it possible to partially translate Lord of Apocalypse (A japanese Monster Hunter-like game, with the addition of magic arts, ultimate spells, character XP and levelling, ... made by Square Enix, that is also available on PS Vita).

Here's a preview and description on what's translated :

And here's the link to download w/ instructions:

NOTE:
Obviously, I won't provide info on how to get the game, piracy is illegal.
Modifying a game's content might also be considered illegal (depending on the company that developped it), however, what PPSSPP offers is a soft-coded custom texture loading that does not modify the game's ISO.

EDIT: Here's a complementary translation guide website I made http://lordofapocalypse.esy.es/

I'm in android and still look really blurry to me idk why

Dumb question: are you sure the textures are correctly installed and enabled?
Does your main menu look like this (as in, with all the katakanas "translated")?

Keep in mind that this is not a 100% HD texturing, most textures are still SD, I tried to focus on HUD mainly.
Also, people were expecting a true translation mod, which was not possible at the time, but were still disappointed so I didn't really put much more effort into it...

@Sabaku.D.Tonio, the textures look awesome! Great job! Will this work on the partial eng patched game?
Thanks :)
Yes, as long as you're using PPSSPP.
(Or if someone is patient enough to replace the game's textures manually in the ISO, which could take quite a lot of time...)

I see. Thanks again for answering and for the hardwork! Really hyped on the next partial release for the game, tho. Haha!

Did you follow the steps from the install guide?
Download and place the "HD" folder and the "textures.ini" file in "[PPSSPP install folder]\memstick\PSP\TEXTURES\NPJH50503\
Try to put the content there.
