Does anyone have experience running this game using emulation, or is native hardware the way to go?
Don't follow videos. But, well, you probably need Luma CFW installed, yes.I keep looking in this thread and getting closer to doing it all then I read through the hack guide and get completely bamboozled with Fred miner and cfw and all other acronyms. What is the minimum stuff needed to do to get this running? Follow the 11.9 homebrew video on YouTube then install Luma ?
Just finished case 2
Man, it was underwhelming, not only being stuck in such a small environment was depressing but also I always felt like there was more to this case even at the very end I was like "no come on he can't be dead like that" and "is that really all there is to it". I feel like this murder is so stupid and at the same time so convenient (because I suppose it's to imitate the death of mia fey since asougi fills the same role). I feel like I'm robbed of something greater, like honosoga talks about protecting asougi from assassins and then he dies like this. I was not always fond of over the top great schemes in later mainline Ace Attorney, but this is the total opposite. It's really underwhelming.
I don't even want to play anymore to be honest, I feel like this game is one of Takumi's low.
it works, but the framerate is terrible, often running at 50 %, it's really not ideal
Thanks - I'm considering it but my main concern is more any potential account action from Nintendo, since I use the same eShop account on Switch as is on the 3DS. I thought I'd read about Nintendo banning accounts, but that could just be people who pirated games.No, but as an absolute noob I can assure you modding your 3DS is very easy and you can't really screw it up, as long as follow the instructions step by step. They are easy to understand and always clear on what to do.
Is this after the payment step?I thought I'd buy this on Android because I'm a bit wary of modding my 3DS, but I'm having an absolute nightmare trying to create a Japanese Google Play account.
It keeps asking me to verify with a phone number, but rejects my mobile number ("this number cannot be used for verification") and landline.
Does anyone have any tips for getting past this?

No, I didn't get that far yet - it's immediately after I enter the first details to create the account (name, email, password) - once those are accepted, it immediately asks me to verify the account using a phone number. Possibly because I was connected to a VPN at the time?
Thanks! That's reassuring, as long as the Switch account is safe that's fine.I completely understand, was scared of this as well at first. So far Nintendo has only banned users that did run pirated copies. And even those can still use the eShop just not play online. Afaik the bans are also for the consoles, not the accounts. So your Switch should not be in danger. :)
Hmmm possibly. I created the account beforehand but distinctly remember being able to skip adding a phone number. You're asked to provide a number when you buy the game but I just googled Japanese phone no. and it accepted it.No, I didn't get that far yet - it's immediately after I enter the first details to create the account (name, email, password) - once those are accepted, it immediately asks me to verify the account using a phone number.

It's the official thread for the translation patch. The DGS OT is elsewhere.
Aaaaand I'm all done. I quite liked the final case. I'm sure I'll have more thoughts later, but I want to mention the one big thing that's nagging me.
You can't call this case "The Adventure of the Unspeakable Story" and plaster a giant "THE HOUND OF THE BASKERVILLES" on the case's title card and not elaborate whatsoever on said unspeakable story. Even worse was that the manuscript was just sitting in the Court Record the whole time. What the hell?
Unofficial translation official thread.. utot
No, it isn't.
Like I said before, yes, there is an element of racism and no one is asking for it to be removed. But you can convey that without resorting to slurs.Gotta say, I was aware of this project early on, and I spoke with the people who made it a lot during a certain period. From the start I was against their decision to do a "literal" translation but I have to admit, even though that grievance passed eventually, seeing the finished result I can't help but wonder if there's bias in this text and one defense of going literal I kept being told was "The original game has a lot of racism in it, we're not localizing it because we want to respect the author's intent".
And even still, I question if the racism was this fierce on an idiomatic level in the original.
What other ways could you say "jap" in a way that implies foreign prejudice but without being actually offensive to the reader, I wonder. "Asian" maybe? Is that worse or better?
Also, the "black and white man" comment is something too where... no offense intended but I think perceptually that would be less offensive in a sense since black culture isn't big in japan as far as I know, and of course it's all said in the historical context of the game but... i dunno, I'm sure localization would've changed this without removing the implication that it is an "us vs them" or even that it is xenophobia.

There are plenty of people who buy Japanese 3DS's to play Japan-exclusive games, even without knowledge of the language.So they just released a translation for the DGS2 demo, but the demo is not accessible to anyone without a Japanese 3DS?
What a tease. What's the point?
The white and black line isn't literally. They're not talking about groups of people but the paddle the jury has to give their vote about whether or not the accused is guiltyGotta say, I was aware of this project early on, and I spoke with the people who made it a lot during a certain period.

Remember what I said before about the multiple meanings of each case's title? On one hand, it's referring to the telegraph message that is sounds and not "spoken" that everyone was after, and on the other it's about the unknown mysteries left in the game like Susato and "Hound of the Baskervilles" and whatever was the meaning behind the Iroha code message. I like it.
How about that Gregson though? What a goddamn scumbag. And the return of the Asougi Nocturne track? "Even so, there was someone determined to defend me. It was...my best friend." I get a little teary every time.
Yeah it's like Tarantino and the N-word.Like I said before, yes, there is an element of racism and no one is asking for it to be removed. But you can convey that without resorting to slurs.
Its repeated use makes me think of that episode of South Park where they tried to say "shit" or something as many times they could in a single episode simply because they could.
My Japanese isn't very good so I could have easily misunderstood something but I definitely did not interpret anything in the game to mean something equivalent to slurs on the level of the lines in those screenshots during my playthrough.

Awesome, thank you. I have a spare Google account so I'll give this a go.You don't need to create a japanese account. You just need any old google account that's not your main. Basically create an account, clear google play data, connect to the VPN e and open store. When you change to your new account, you'll be in the japanese one.
I recommend a paid VPN tho, those free ones are shady af (it's also a good service to have access to in general, even more so if you're not american, like me)
EDIT:
Godamn, 3000 yen google play cards are out of stock on play-asia lol
Damn you guys
Case 5:
I wish the game spent more time explaining what stereoscopes are, I didn't quite get it the first twenty times.

I died laughing at the initial reveal of the jury. Garrideb is eyeballing that maid next to him, the typist upgraded her equipment and WAIT, THAT GUY'S REAL!?
In general I thought the jury picks got progressively more absurd as the game went on, and I loved it. Just look at Case 5, where every single juror was either horrendously ethically compromised, or an unimaginably convenient asset to the defense. Juror 1 just had his wife sent to prison by the defense attorney. Juror 2 served during the trial when said defense attorney got a guilty man off scott free, a fact which became very clear as the trial went on. Juror 3 was... fine (but very conveniently had expertise in technology that would prove crucial to solving the case). Juror 4 just so happened to have performed surgery on one of the (thankfully still living) victims for the case. Juror 5 just so happened to be the only person in the entire courtroom able to positively identify the true culprit. Juror 6 was a Russian revolutionary because why the hell not. Legit loved how he got built up in Case 2 only to end up completely unimportant, btw.
I really loved how they used the juries in this game. I was afraid when it was announced that the trials would wind up too chaotic or muddled up (going from defense, prosecutor, judge, witness to defense, prosecutor, judge, up to four witnesses, and six jurors) but they threaded the needle and I thought the juries really added to the trials.
DGS2 unfortunately doesn't use them as well, which is one of my few big disappointments with that game.
