「BREAK ARTS」 is a team consisting of two people, AcuteAcid and me. We have created a complete English localisation patch for Monster Hunter 2 Dos. This patch translates the entire game into English, including all NPC dialogue, weapon and armor descriptions, menus, items, UI textures, and more. The patch is fully compatible with original hardware and online servers.

Our goal for the project was to create a retail-quality patch that is faithful to the series and its fans. A great deal of love and care was put into the reverse engineering and localisation to preserve the original Monster Hunter 2 Dos experience. We hope you enjoy one of the most unique entries in the Monster Hunter franchise as much as we enjoyed creating it!

To download the latest version, please visit the project website here: https://break-arts.com/projects/mh2dos/
Instructions for installing the patch are also provided on our website.

In addition to translating the entire game, work was put into reverse engineering the bonus content unlocked by connecting Monster Hunter 2 to a copy of Monster Hunter Portable. We have created codes that work on both emulators and original hardware.

To download the right files for your system, please visit the PSP Connection Bonuses page here: https://break-arts.com/projects/mh2dos_psp/

There is an FAQ for both the translation patch and the PSP bonus codes on their appropriate pages. Please consult those pages to see if your question has been answered.
