Ever 17: The Out of Infinity English Beta Patch for PSP released
I don’t know but the name of this visual novel is a tad on the odd side for me… The PSP never dies as game translations keep surfacing up from time to time. This time, it’s Ever 17; a visual novel that’s available on the Dreamcast, PSP, PS2, PC amongst other consoles. It only got an English translation for one platform for some reason and that’s the PC.
What’s Ever 17?
It’s a Japanese visual novel in which you choose between various options in order to progress in a story. Originally released in 2002 on the Dreamcast and the PS2; it got various other ports but only in Japanese. That was until the 2005 port for the PC in English. Now, 8 years after the game was poeted to the PSP; western audiences can finally play it! The game revolves around two guys that were trapped in an underwater theme park along with some other people that’s set to blow up in 119 hours due to high water pressure.
How do I get it?
First of all, this is a translation of a PSP game with files from the PC English version. This means that you need a PSP that’s on CFW to run the patched ISO; and obviously you can play it on your PSVita via Adrenaline and probably ARK. These are the instructions in a nutshell:
- Download the patch from the link below
- Unzip the patch in a seperate folder
- Copy your Ever 17 game ISO into the folder of the patch
- Drag the ISO onto ‘patch.bat’
- Profit! (Copy the game over to your PSP/Vita and play!)
Due to the use of .bat files, this of course requires a Windows machine (WINE may or may not work). Say thanks to user ‘MrComputerRevo’ of GBATemp forums and the translators of the PC game for this patch 🙂

This is one of my favorite Visual Novels, it’s by the same people who made 999 doors, virtue’s last reward | zero escape.
Good to know.
Thank you for the article, Wololo. Looking forward to hacking news, there hasn’t been anything juicy in a while now.
Long live the PSP

I already finished on PC
I wonder if anyone will finished the Danganronpa 2 PSP translation. I know it’s available for Vita, and I own the Vita, but most people aren’t going to bother buying a Vita for it. IIRC the project was underway, but the translators canned it when it was announced for the Vita, and they were all like, “Go get it on the Vita.”
It’s on PC already.
Yes!
My favorite visual novel. I prefer on PC but I might check out the PSP version. I did play on PC with PSP music patch since I think the music sounds even better.
Ever17 is a classic, and the game starts in early May 2017. I suspect that had a lot to do with the timing of the release.
Looks like it might be using the unofficial patch for a slightly cleaner translation. Mostly I think it just fixed up some of the more glaring problems with the script (which likely never got a proofreading before being tossed out the door) rather than retranslating anything.
1 May 2017 is the day when Ever 17 just started their plot! And that is also the day when Hafiz Hamidun and Joy Revfa, were just married!
