English translated patch for Variable Barricade, an otome visual novel from Otomate and Idea Factory.

This project involved a lot of hand-done stuff like the font and images, the rest like scripts are taken from the Switch version.

Features

  • What is translated:
    • Game's Scripts/System Messages.
    • Most Images.
    • Font custom-tuned since drag and drop didn't work.
  • What hasn't been modified:
    • Movies.
    • Any new additions (the Switch version has exclusive scenarios).
    • Name Changing (still the original JP letters, but the default has been set to their name Hibari).

Installation

Acquire a copy of Variable Barricade and ensure you have the rePatch plugin installed.

Head into VitaShell and hover over PCSG01159, then hit Triangle > Open decrypted.

Now connect the Vita to your computer by your preferred method.

Ensure the files aren't operating system protected if connected via USB, if you don't know how to convert them, copy and paste GAME/STORY/SYSTEM.cpk to a different folder on the Vita.

Drag these three unprotected files into the "input" folder of this patch.

  • data/GAME.cpk
  • data/STORY.cpk
  • data/SYSTEM.cpk

The folder should look like:

input/
  |-GAME.cpk
  |-STORY.cpk
  |-SYSTEM.cpk

Run the file that matches your operating system's name.

Drag the newly created repatch folder into your ux0 folder.
