Well if the game is just converted from one language to another, I would assume you could just replace the language file (if there is one) with the English. Try finding something with that.. :/

You probably can't just "convert" the language. I'm not entirely sure, but unless the game has a language changing function, the ability to change the language probably wouldn't be built into the game. More than likely, they have multiple game builds, each one in a different language (again, unless there's a setting for language - but it'd probably be a waste of space to build in every single language into a game). That would mean you'd have to reverse engineer the game, discover where the text is stored, then modify that to a correct translation - translating it from Japanese to English would be pretty difficult in it of itself. Furthermore, you wouldn't be able to easily translate any voices.

All in all: don't waste your time.

If it's a matter of not playing on an English device, that's a different story, but probably still difficult (also, as long as it's the same device, the country it's built in shouldn't matter).

yes i understand but ok i check the game inside with the eboot.bin and all of the above but my major question is how would i come to open such files. I tried notepad but all it says is gibberish so i was wondering do i need a specific program allowing me to access and change the values or settings. The Jap to ENG is the least of my worries has my MOM is JAP and she speaks it and along with most of my family who are well known in the language (im a dummass i speak english and spanish only) so yes thats my main concern.
