Instructions:
- Download xdelta patch from latest release.
- Apply the xdelta patch to an unmodified2 Nayuta no Kiseki ISO.
- Useful xdelta patching tools:
- Web browser.
- xdelta UI for Windows.
- UniPatcher for Android.
- Select the xdelta file you downloaded when prompted for a "Patch". Select your Nayuta no Kiseki ISO when asked for a "Source" or "ROM".
- Be sure to supply a name for the output file that ends in ".iso" or ".ISO" so that the patched file is recognized by PSP CFWs and emulators.
If xdelta3 is already installed on your system elsewhere, you should also be able to run something similar to this:
xdelta3 -ds original.iso patch.xdelta patched.iso

Known issues
These are all issues that exist in the original fan translations:
- Boss and new area intro graphics still untranslated (example).
- Erasing save data from in-game menu doesn't work.
- Strange text spacing in some longer spell and item descriptions (example).
- Long achievement names are cut off in the notification box when unlocking them, e.g. "armor of anhillat".
- The above two could be solved by shortening them, but I'm not willing to butcher them further.
- Characters that use idiosyncratic manners of speaking in Japanese probably still don't here.
- E.g. Geo is supposed to sound like an old man (characters even comment on it several times in-game), Eris is supposed to sound domineering or something. Algol and Nemeas are definitely supposed to sound unique too.
- Noi has her own verbal tic that is lost.
- Things like slang or shifts in politeness or tone are probably still not accurately conveyed.
- Text speed isn't as synced to voices as it is in Japanese (text speed should still be modified to be faster than the voices, if anything).

v0.9.1 2020/11/01
- Confusion status effect is renamed to Panic so it is consistent with the animation. The manual graphic is also changed to reflect this, increasing the size of the patch.
- There's also some minor text edits, mostly to fix typos, missing words, or repeated words. That's what I get for doing a spelling and grammar check after after my first pass, making a bunch of changes, and then not doing a check afterwards.
