Where can I buy English ver of Phantomhive and ghost
Our patch is avaliable for free, forever, and can be downloaded here! If you’re talking about buying an English version of the DS cart however, I’m afraid there isn’t one. If you’d like to play the translation on your NDS, you will instead need a copy of the original (Japanese) game, and a flashcart to load the patched (English) game on. Please see the FAQ for more ^^
Thank you for your support! We hope you enjoyed the patch :D
(P.S. We don’t frequent this blog often these days, but if you’d like to see more about what the team have been up to, please feel free to check out some of our pasts posts or visit the team page to find individual sites!)
Today marks six months since the English patch for Phantom & Ghost was released!
Thank you for all your feedback, kind comments and 1700+ downloads!
Sadly it seems that both the French and Brazilian Portuguese
translation projects have been dropped, so this is likely to be the last post
you’ll see from us here, but there are many other exciting
things happening in the anime game fan translation world to explore.
Here are some of the highlights…
Otogetranslations recently released a full English patch for the
Limited V Edition of Diabolik Lovers!
Ran has been continuing to work on various translations, with Ciel’s route from the Black Butler x Yume 100 collab on queue!
It’s shaping up to look like an English patch for the Gurren Lagann NDS game will be Phantom’s next release!
Envyplays has been hard at work producing translated video playthroughs of games, with the latest being Kinnikuman Nisei (Muscleman Second Generation): Choujin Seisenshi for the Wonderswan Color, and Fullmetal Alchemist: Prince of the Dawn on Wii!
Ripper has started up a project to translate Gunnm: Martian Memory for the PSX!
As explained in the FAQ, the ‘source’ is a copy of the game, which is an ‘.nds’ file type. You can obtain one by making a backup (also known as a ROM dump), using the game’s original DS cartridge, and your DS. If you’re having trouble with this process, you can also find copies of this file available online. However, the copyright holders are rather clear that they’re against ROM distribution in this way, and we as a team do not condone any form of piracy, hence why we don’t share any links to download it.
Thanks for your understanding!
That’s because the download is a patch file, meaning you’ll need to apply it to your own copy of the ‘.nds’ game. (We won’t be providing any download links for that!)
Please see the readme file on the download page for patching instructions. (Here’s a quick link, for convenience ^^)

There can be several reasons behind why some games just aren’t released outside of Japan. I think it’d be quite fair to assume that most DS-era games aren’t going to suddenly get licensed now, but there are always new fan-translation projects popping up!
I can’t speak for their current progress, but I do know that there are groups hoping to translate Phantom & Ghost into Brazilian Portuguese and French too!
We’ve taken both fan translations, and the official Yen Press and FUNimation translations into account for this patch, and hope you’ll find it to be of equally high quality. Thank you for your support!
Thank you for your kind words!
Play testing is going very well! At the moment, there are some minor delays whilst we investigate a timing issue. We’d like to sort this out before making a release, so that the patch is (hopefully) a full and final version!
If, in case we’re not able to solve the issue in time, we will be releasing the (still fully playable) patch on March 19 2019, which was chosen as it’ll be the 10 year anniversary of the game! Although, we do hope that we might be able to get it out a bit sooner. ^^

The patch is expected to be released by March 2019! Keep an eye on our blog for more.
Happy new year!
I’m delighted to announce that we’re ready to start game testing! If you had previously messaged us about being involved, keep an eye on your inbox for an invitation link. If it doesn’t arrive within the next day or so, give me a shout!
We’re still open for new volunteers to get involved. If you’re interested, please get in touch before January the 8th! After that date, we will no longer be accepting volunteers for any roles, as we will be working our way towards the patch release!
