Congrats to the team, incredible job all round. The effort put into this is truly mindblowing. Many thanks for the opportunity to finally play this amazing game.

Also, I've managed to finish this on PSP without any issues, using Icetea eboots.

This is absolutely fantastic. All I could think was "I'm finally playing policenauts!" I've been waiting for a long time.

Thanks for making it happen, guys.

Oh my, in the couple months I'm offline and not checking every other day for updates the patch is finally up! Words cab't express how grateful I am, interpretive dance maybe, but words, no. The quality of work is incredible - totally professional, the translation's interpretation of the script is word perfect too.

A MILLION THANKS TO EVERYONE THAT WORKED ON THE PATCH, THE SITE AND FORUMS OVER THE YEARS, THIS IS AWESOME!

Hi all!

Just wanted to express my thanks to the team!

Just beat this last night and it worked flawlessly!

Played it on my psp slim.

Possible spoiler - can someone confrirm that
it ends on the policenauts logo saying produced
by konami. Mine stopped there and didn't go
back to the start screen.

Thanks again guys I have to say this was one of
the best games I have ever played and I wouldn't
have been able to without your help.

Many thanks!

Awesome, I like how he put this observation in the review:
Eurogamer wrote: It starts with a girl, of course. Jonathan Ingram, a member of the L.A.P.D., married Lorraine, a student from UCLA, on 24th August, 2009 according to the date stamp on the framed Polaroid on his desk (the same day, it should be noted, as the release of the English fan-translation patch that has, 15 years on, facilitated this belated review).
It was a pretty good review and he gave good praise to the translation.

Well, I guess I should thank Artemio again for getting me into playing another Kojima series (he, along with the Metal Gear Awesome movies got me into MGS; already into Snatcher long before visiting JunkerHQ :D ). I never thought I'd get a chance to truly play the game, though I have thought of importing it for a while. But I just wasn't sure I'd enjoy the game with the lack of speaking or reading Japanese.

I've only played through the first part so far, but I can already tell I'm going to love this game. So thanks again to Artemio and everyone else involved in creating this patch.

Jokes aside, thank you SO much for all your hard work! I tried out the game last night, and it works like a charm! Again, THANK YOU!! :D
Ah, it's great to be back! I decided not to visit the forum untill I completed the game, so as not to see any spoilers. But it took much longer than expected, I've been super-busy with the university and such. But I just finished the game, so now I can surf the forum again!

Thanks again for all your hard work, the patch is amazing! :mrgreen:

Oh, didn't realise Gates was English, I must have missed that somewhere, just thought it was strange to have that in an american translation, being English myself.

The game took me 10 hours but I feel like it was so short and I was left wanting more, it seemed much shorter than snatcher, though it has been years since I finished that back on the MegaCD.

The game ran perfectly on my chipped PS2, so thanks guys, it was a long time coming but worth the wait!

I understand your perspective, but technically it's an English language version as opposed to an Americanization.

I've said this before, but since its thanksgiving it seemed appropriate again. I'm thankful for the hard work of all the individuals who were involved in the original development and the fan translation of Policenauts. Great work guys, and thanks again!

Marc, in an average number, how many words has the game' script? I bet something around 140000 words, maybe less...

Also, any chance to throw the whole script dump? I want to see if I missed some gag or exclusive feature (like the Tokimeki one...)

Thanks for the patch. I'm about halfway through the game and its fabulous. Better than metal gear solid and most of everything released these last 10 years. I used to think you people were crazy for sticking with this project for so many years, but now that I've played the game I can understand the value of what you were doing. Thank you.
