Policenauts english patch to PS1, how would this work?
I am new to the world of patching and emulation. I have a copy of Policenauts, and am curious as to how I would be able to apply the english language patch to my PS1 game whenever the translation project is finished? THANK YOU FOR ALL THE HARD WORK BY THE WAY!!!
Would it be relatively difficult? I.e re-soldering your ps1 drive to chickenwire then run install dos on the cpu? Or would it be a simple file transfer? The question is how would I file transfer anything to an old PS1? Sorry to repeat an old question, or annoy anybody, it's not my intenton.
Thanks again everybody!

You won't need an official copy of Policenauts to use the patch (though that is more ethical). You just need to have an ISO dump of the game on your PC. The patch will be applied to that using specialist software. Once that is done, you can either run the game in a PlayStation emulator, or burn the patched game to CD and use a chipped PlayStation.

Thank you for being so quick to post that info!
I appreciate it greatly!
So wow, I will have to use a ps emulator then, have not the faintest idea how to do that but I guess I will give it a shot! Too bad there will not be a way to just throw the patch in the actual ps1!
But man, thanks again!!!

Re: Policenauts english patch to PS1, how would this work?
There are discs that will let you play home-burnt PlayStation CDs on an unmodded system. I don't know too much about them, and they're not as convenient as having a mod chip in your system, but try searching for a 'Breaker Pro', and you should find more information.

Re: Policenauts english patch to PS1, how would this work?
If your PS1 or PS2 can play PS1 backups (meaning off of CD-Rs) you will be able to play the patch on your Playstation 1 or 2.
I've heard you can play PS2 backups on PS3 with the 'swap-switch' method, but it involves some minor surgery on your PS3 and I have no idea if it will work with PS1 backups.
But the point is, to play on hardware you will need to burn the patched game to a CD-R and you will need a device that will play it.
(Alternatively, you can play it on the PSP as well.)

Very Cool!
I will have to look for that disc you are talking about then!
I see what you both mean now though!!
There are some options, not just the emulator which simplifies things alot!
Thanks to both of you!!!
Have you played the game? I have had it for awhile, and am so curious as to what it is like! I loved snatcher to death and paid a high price for a real copy. It was woth every penny!!! Is it impossible to navigate around Policenauts since it is in Japanese, or can you still enjoy it too a degree? You guys have a good night!

Re: Policenauts english patch to PS1, how would this work?
I've actually got a few copies of it (PlayStation, 3DO, 3DO Pilot Disc, PS3 PSN release, 2 Saturn copies) though I can't read Japanese, and I only understand a little spoken Japanese.
I've played through the first hour or so, and I could appreciate the design and production values, and to an extent, I could follow the plot, but I stopped because I knew the translation was being made, and I'd rather not spoil it for myself. I play a lot of games in Japanese, but rarely anything so text-heavy and detailed as Policenauts.

That's all encrypted, so no, I don't think I can.

Speaking of which, how do you go about buying games off the Japanese PSN? I've tried to, but the PSN Japan store wouldn't accept my card. How did you do it?

You buy a Japanese PSN card.

Hmmm, never heard of 'PSN cards' before. News to me. I'm guessing you can only buy them off sites like Play-Asia or NCSX, right? Thanks for the reply.

its best to buy them from ebay as they will just email you the code about an hour after you've bought it.

Policenauts English Psx

Policenauts is a Japanese style adventure game that received a Sega Saturn release September 13th, 1996. This port was the last revision of Policenauts by Kojima and arguably the finest iteration; adding some additional scenes, light gun support and an in-game glossary from the previous PlayStation release. Aug 17, 2016  Policenauts Japan Import. #925 in PlayStation Games, Consoles & Accessories: Pricing. It'd be great to receive an English version here in the US someday. Maybe Kojima will release the two games in a double pack here in the States sometime in the future. I can only hope. It's just too bad that I can't really recommend this game to anyone.
