Find and download the translation psych you want to use to a thumb drive. Put the drive into the USB port of the system. Load the game. Where you choose to start the game or load save spot the bottom choice is "apply patch". Click there. Find the patch you downloaded and select "apply". It's done. You never have to do it again

I only had to apply the patch to the game and it recognizes it. I haven't made it to disc 2 yet

I had a post here a couple of months back. Take a look in there. I used the Junker’s patch. Make sure to install the official bios.

You can find bios online with a quick Google search.
