First you need to dump your Nora to Toki no Koubou - Kiri no Mori no Majo NDS cartridge to obtain a .nds rom file. There exist a few number of alternatives publicly available on the internet to do this. Make sure that whatever method you use, you obtain an untrimmed and clean dump of the game.

To apply the patch:

  • Verify the clean .nds rom (online ROM hasher), make sure that it matches the hashes in the table (Japanese ROM information).
  • Rename your .nds file to 5783 - Nora to Toki no Koubou - Kiri no Mori no Majo (J)(BAHAMUT).nds.
  • Copy or move your clean .nds rom to the patch folder.
  • Run the patching script and wait for it to finish.
    • Windows - Apply Patch-Windows.bat
    • Linux - Apply Patch-Linux.sh
    • Mac - Apply Patch-Mac.command
  • In case you need the clean rom again, it will be moved to a folder namedold once the patching process is completed.

A new Nora and the Time Studio - The Witch of the Misty Forest.nds rom will be created in the patch folder, this is the patched rom. Verify that it matches the hashes in the table (Patched English ROM information), if it doesn't probably you didn't use the correct clean rom.
