Dobutsu no Mori (Animal Forest) has been fan-translated into American English by Zoinkity. The patch uses the .ups or .xdelta formats and was released on 02 December 2010. Not only does it appear to convert the game to English, but a lot of information is also contained within it. It still needs some work, but a lot of hacking work appears to have been done on the game. Patch details available at ROMHacking.net.
