It's been a long hard road, and there's more still to come, but the ever-persistent Gyakuten Kenji 2 fan translation team has made its first release! The patch covers cases 1 and 2 of the game.

For a full status update, including how to help finish the patch, please see the post at the old C-R forums; registration is required. You can also check out the full readme here.

To play the game, you must have a clean ROM of Gyakuten Kenji 2 (C-R will not provide this). I'll let project leader Auryn explain the rest:

Auryn wrote:

Remember to keep a copy of the clean ROM for future patches (we have yet to decide if we will make a progressive patch or you will always need to use a clean ROM.
For this patch we offer you 2 patch formats:
BEAT: http://www.romhacking.net/utilities/893/
Xdelta: http://www.romhacking.net/utilities/598/

For Xdelta, choose the Xdelta download link, decompress the patch, run Xdelta UI, select your ROM, select the patch, then "Patch" when you finish, play it on emu or transfer to your micro SD card.

And a few words on bugs and feedback:

Auryn wrote:

5) Known issues
a) One issue affecting your gameplay are the voice command (when you screem "Hold it" or "Objection" to your NDS), they seem broken.

b) A second issue is that when you load a savegame, it's possible that you will get an empty text box.
Don't be scared, the next text will show up as usual.
If you are on a cross examination, you can go forward and back and you will get the missing text.

At the moment there are no other known issues.

Please report any problems you encounter when playing the game.

6) Feedback
Your feedback, corrections, suggestions etc... are naturally welcome.
When posting corrections / typos / text overflows, please be clear on where it happens and if possible with a screenshot.
If you have problems like freezes, glitches or messed up screens, please specify what configuration you are playing with:
emu/flashcard, version, OS and naturally where it happens.
You can give feedback on the thread where you downloaded this patch (on RHDN or GBATEMP) or per EMAIL: patch.feedback@gmail.com

Credits to everyone who's helped out with the project:

A thanks to DeMatador, Tateyuki Shigaraki and Henke37 because those are the people that tried to start this project back in April 2011 even if they didn't know much about ROM hacking and a special thanks to the first 2 for letting me take over (involuntarily) the head of this project. Being at the head of such a big project and big group is equaly an honor as an hard work.
Some other people that didn't work directly on the project but still was around for decisions or supports:
Permafry_42, Lusankya and all that helped in anyway (example all those people that helped choose the names of the characters in the game).

Thanks to all the people that supported us in this project since the beginning (or later on) and thanks to all the fan that gave us the energy to continue this work.
Naturally thanks to Capcom for making the game.

In rememberence of the passed away "Sato Sarushiro" (AKA "Katherene"). She was a big fan of GK2 and sadly she will never play the english version.

And finally, the patch:

BEAT Download links:
BEAT Patch from MEGA
BEAT Patch from Filetrip

Xdelta Download links:
Xdelta Patch from MEGA
Xdelta Patch from Filetrip

Let's give a big hand to the team - they've been working hard these past few years, and with an official AAI2 release all but impossible at this point, they're letting everyone who can't speak Japanese get a shot at this missing piece of the Ace Attorney puzzle. Well done!

Hi! I've largely stepped back from C-R due to life stuff. Please contact one of the other staff members for help!

I'd like to add that not only will CR not provide a Rom, no links are to be posted either.

I mean, you have google for goodness sake. :P

Congrats on getting the first release out, guys! And good luck with the rest of it!

Now, to figure out how the heck to get a clean ROM...

So I finally grew a brain and remembered to give myself a signature... Whoopee.

Ah, how nice. Can't wait to give AAI2 (it's more clear than Prosecutor's Path, where people would think it's a fangame or something) a try once and for all.

Ok, I know you guys won't link to the rom, but if I find one, does it have to be played on PC? or can I put it on my 3DS somehow? Will I need a device like an R4 or something? Would this work if I imported the game? and If so, how do I get the patch on my 3Ds. Sorry if this isn't the place to ask these questions.

A clean rom means a plain old not at all modified copy of the game.

Thank you to everyone who made this possible!! I am so excited. My birthday is only 8 days away so I consider this an early birthday gift, and the best best beeest one of all time. Just in time for my 23rd, I get to spend time with Miles. Cries of jubilation aren't enough.

Great, great work from everyone involved!

For what it's worth, the patch has worked pretty much flawlessly so far on my R4i Gold 3DS. I'm only maybe a bit less than halfway through Turnabout Target, but I haven't run into any glitches or freezes or anything. Very nice stuff.

Wonderful news, indeed! I sincerely thank the team who made it possible for us non Japanese speaking folk to play this game. I have one question, though. Do the new characters have their old japanese names, or were they given translated ones?

The new characters have the standard punny English localized names. I can at least confirm this with the reporter character in the first case, and I'm pretty sure this applies to everyone else.

Downloaded. Geebus, with this out now, will I have to include GK2 in my long list of Japanese-English game comparisons for my project? Hm, well, I'd need the full patch for that, but it doesn't seem like it's going to be too long from now. Speaking of which, I should probably get to it soon. I've had a long enough break.

...I didn't intend any self-advertisting, by the way.

Awesome. I'm interested to see what there names will be. I'll have to remind myself to play this the next chance I get.

I suggest using a program like this one. I can't say anything about it because I have Windows, but it does come from the same website that has the XDelta and Beat GUI programs that were suggested.

Thanks! I'm enjoying every minute of the translation, and I'm amazed by the level of quality! It must've been so hard to get those description boxes for the organizer working!

I guess we can all safely say... "Screw Dual Destinies... We have Prosecutor's Path to fill the void! :jazzedgy:
