This is an English patch for Little Busters! Converted Edition. It is a visual novel game for the Sony Playstation Portable that was released in Japan only.

The English translations are from the PC version of Little Busters.

Installation

Game information
Japanese title リトルバスターズ！Converted Editio
English title Little Busters! Converted Edition
ROM information
ROM format ISO
Serial ULJM-05789

Little Busters! CE! Comes with 2 UMD discs, where the first disc will install the game on your SD Card and the second will be used to play the game afterwards. The text of the game is stored in these installed files and thats what the first part of the patch will affect.

In Little Busters! there are a few minigames which unfortunately, has some text that resides in the game program of UMD disc 2 rather than in the installed files. Furthermore text appearance and other hacks to make it feel more natural to read in English requires that we also patch the files on the UMD disc 2 itself.

What you need:

1 Patch UMD 1 install data:

  • In order to install the patch, you will first have to install Little Busters! CE! using UMD disc one.
    • If you are using PPSSPP and has an ISO, simply run the ISO of disc one and let it install.
    • The process with the ISO’s are the same as with UMD discs using an actual PSP.
  • Once disc one is installed, enter USB connection in settings, then open LBSetupV0.95.zip and run the progeam.
  • As discribed by the patch, the install folder should be:
    • For PPSSPP - [PPSSPP FOLDER] / memstick/PSP/SAVEDATA/ULJM05789PAK/
    • For PSP - [MEMORYCARD] /PSP/SAVEDATA/ULJM05789PAK/

2 Extract UMD 2 data:

  • You will then need to rip UMD 2 into an ISO, you can use Takka's ISO Tool, a tutorial is available here.
  • Copy the ISO to your computer and make a backup of it just in case.
  • Run UMDGen, open the ISO with this program and press “extract image” in the top menu bar.
  • Select an empty folder (or create one) and click OK.

3 Patch UMD 2 ISO:

  • Once you extracted the image, unzip LBSetupUMD2v0.95.zip and run the program.
  • Select LITBUS1 inside the new folder you made earlier, press Next and let the patching complete.
  • Return to UMDGen and remove all files and folders within and replace them with the patched files to the to the files window of UMDgen.
  • Now simply press save and save it in the ISO folder of your SD card.

Now whenever you want to play this game, go to GAME > Memory Stick and if Little Busters CE! isn’t in the list then open PRO update and press X till your PSP restarts, then Little Busters should be visible.

Compatibility

This patch will work for every platform that support running PSP games (PSP; PPSSPP supported platform, Vita with PSP XMB (not tested on Vita).

The PSP emulator PPSSPP works on Windows, Android, IOS, Blackberry, Meego / Harmattan, Symbian, Pandora, Mac OSX and Linux.

According to Paragon4696, playing LB in PPSSPP will work best under the following settings:

  • Buffered rendering has to be enabled.
  • The 60 FPS thing needs to be disabled.
  • Software skinning has to be set disabled.
  • Rendering resolution has to be disabled.
  • Texture filter needs to be set to “Linear on FMV”.

The game does not work as well in PPSSPP as on a real PSP, but the only known PPSSPP issues involve trivial things like an 1/4 – 1/8 second flick when switching from dialog with speaker to dialog without speaker.
