I spent hours hunting down the pre-localization translation patch for the PSP God Eater, but ended up not even wanting to play it after hearing descriptions of it. Still, figured I'd post what I found. In my search, I saw many retarded normalfags out there saying "lol what patch? it was localized, there is no patch, why would you want a patch? :^)" or suggesting a buggy incomplete undub, but I found much evidence to the contrary, fucking faggots. In fact, I found the damn patch. Unfortunately, like multiple fan translated psp games, a patched iso isn't enough. Even worse, and unlike others, it doesn't patch savedata or memstick install files or whatever, it requires a plugin that swaps out files on the fly with the patched versions, which means it can't be emulated in PPSSPP. There are supposedly tools for "package.rdp" to pack/unpack the files, that may or may not be too buggy to create a working emulation-friendly iso, but they've vanished off the face of the internet it seems. I tried everything, and haven't found the tool. Damn you, random scenefag.
If anyone else is interested in having a go, or simply in playing it on a hacked psp, here are the files:

Keep in mind it was meant for an older cfw psp, so you may not need to follow instructions on patching the iso to run on your psp and can just do a clean iso or something on a more modern setup. I don't know much about it.
Here are some jewgle search terms of note, since included documentation does not cover everything:
>"GE.Final.by.Celes-Network-ANiMeX"
>"God.Eater.Final.by.Celes-Network.PROPER-ANiMeX"
>"God Eater" "package.rdp" tool
Anyone wishing to take this pursuit further, I would suggest looking at the God Eater 2 translation project and its revival on gbatemp in the last search results, it seems to use the same data format. Maybe they have a copy of the tool, or even better, have a different but superior tool that will do it. If that doesn't work out, I recommend checking both the wayback machine and cachedviews when coming across broken links, and checking non-jewgle search engines (especially chink or slav ones) as well as site-specific search engines. Might want to try alternate file-sharing networks as well, like ed2k, if you come across a file name. But it may be that anti-localization emulatorfags are just fucked without someone to hack that shit.
