Tokimeki Memorial Girls Side: English patches
Tokimeki Memorial Girls Side: English patches
A user contacted me and asked me to post these. It's a google drive containing English patched versions of Tokimeki Memorial 1, 2, and 3 for the DS. As well has a patching guide and the patch files themselves.
This is probably a good time for me to lay out a piracy policy:
If the game does not have a legitimate English version and it's older than 5 years, direct piracy links are allowed.
If a game did have a legitimate English version but is on a system that is no longer supported, that specific version is ok to post. For example, Hakuoki on the 3DS is allowed because the eshop is closed, but Hakuoki on the Vita isn't because the Vita store is still running.
I personally think that piracy makes it more difficult for creators to be fairly paid, but also that it is necessary for game preservation under current copyright laws.
I prefer to pay for content, 100%, but it gets ridiculous that last decade or so, the shops themselves stop supporting digital content from their servers. So one is not guaranteed the content they bought 'forever'. And that kinda feels like stealing in a way, on their part. At the same time, I think it is close to never that I replay any game. Even my favorite, Dragon Age, I played 5 times each. I still talk about the world and want to see more, but I don't know if I'd ever sit down and play them again all the way through, every quest. So do I really need them to support the content beyond 10 years? probably not. But they are even stopping selling physical content so it's like, I'm losing my right to store a game on my dusty shelf while they max their profits.
If you want to pay for it legit and there is 1) just no way to buy it from the makers anymore and 2) the only legit copies now are from resellers selling a $20 game for $200, I think it's definitely time to sail the seven seas, even for people who are usually not pirates.
