Thank you much davpolitics for the encouragement! To answer your questions, I have not released a patch for the work shown in this thread yet, but there is an old partial translation that contains the work of a few different people (specifically Whatever, FFaddict, and myself) which is available HERE. It is a PPF patch file and is applied to a disk image of the game with a tool like PPF-O-Matic.
I actually bought BGE for $150 off ebay back when there weren't many Japanese imports on ebay. These days you can find it for considerably less with a little patience. The only other source for the translation compatible version of the game is piracy (GARRRHHH Them what dies 'll be the lucky ones!!!) in which case probably a simple google search?
Once you have a patched backup copy, you can play it on an emulator, a modded PS1/PSP, or probably any other device with a PS1 emulator, but the procedure will differ depending on which system you use.
