The restoration patch fixes the missing content in 18+ fakku version.
Everything else works how it is meant to be. ... Didn't play chrono clock.
 

07/23  - Released the patch with the 5th scene included, and fixes the bug in Hscene 2
DOWNLOAD
 

Eden* also did the same thing (the eden* PLUS＋MOSAIC version), you had to fully read the story before the H-scenes unlocked.
It's actually a very neat way of doing it so the H-scenes don't interrupt the story though it obviously only works on certain titles, I don't see it done this way very often.

Lol. The patch doesn't add new content. Just fixing/redrawing/reimaging existing content. If under exisitng content is something like that then te answer is yes.
Expect later today Hachiroku's 5th hscene! After finishing all the hscenes for her next I am going to fix Hibiki :).

Original Fakku forum release:
 
Thanks to the help from a kind benefactor, I acquired the Steam release. Steam users can now y o r o k o b e.
Figuring out how the Steam release worked was such a damn pain. 
Not much was updated, apart from a few thousand scene seek thumbnails. Mainly giving Steam users some love.

Maitetsu WIP Decensor patch thread
 

The main issues I was dealing with while making that patch that most certainly limited how much I can do are:
1. KrkrExtract just doesn't want to cooperate majority of the time when extracting XP3's.
2. When it does, it doesn't even extract the stuff I needed.
3. Repairing the sprites requires my being able to repack EMote .pbs files with edited .bmp images. Not hard at all to do, just repacking is the issue AFAIK
4. The data.xp3 is encrypted. About half of it KrkrExtract can get done, but the half that i'd need to fully repair the "filesystem" I guess you can say into something usable is.
5. God help me TJS2 bytecode is one of the most disgusting atrocities I have seen.

If there is anyone out there who knows the KiriKiriZ engine or EMote engine, your input is always welcome.

MAITETSU 18+ 
DEMOSAIC STEAM AND FAKKU PATCH

 


Did you mistake the quote "100% DRM free and completely uncut with no scenes removed" as "TOTALLY UNCENSORED!"? Do you hate to see squares in beautiful art? Are you from the golden era (JAST USA, Peach Princess, G-Collections) and expected from an localized eroge to get an fully uncut, uncensored and without mosaics game? ... Then this patch is for you.
You read it right, the patch does what it says.
It removes the mosaic in hscenes from the beautiful artwork.
 

Original MAITETSU 18+ Fakku edition -> you can buy it at the official page: https://www.fakku.net/games/maitetsu-english -> PLEASE SUPPORT english localization by buying the game ! OR BUY FROM STEAM
Maitetsu 18+ Release Restoration Patch - FOR STEAM   OR    BANDAID removal PATCH + restoration patch - FOR FAKKU  

1. [Q]: Is it legit?
[A]: I can't believe it myself either. But YES! It is real and it does what it says. Try it before reporting or commenting. Thank you.
 
2. [Q]: Where are the hscenes? I can't find them in the game?
[A]: There are no hscenes in the common route, except  provoking pictures which the Maitetsu 18+ Release Restoration Patch restores and the actual hscenes won't trigger by default, but during a heroine route, a message will popup at bottom right side of the screen saying that you gain access to a hscene, then you have to manually open the hscene in the menu. It is a game design, not a bug or glitch, it is how LOSE company makes the games. Rarely you will gain access for hscenes during a route, most hscenes are unlocked AFTER finishing the game with that particular heroine.
 
3. [Q]: When does the DLC hscenes show up?
[A]: After you complete the previous hscenes, the DLC hscenes will eventually show up.
 
4. [Q]: STEAM support?
[A]: At the moment I don't own the STEAM version so I can't test it and I don't know if it works. If someone can help me I will make an steam support patch, but you would still need the FAKKU 18+ DLC patch.
 
5. [Q]: Can we see some screenshot/examples of patch?
[A]: Because of the nature of the game as being an loli game I can't post pictures because of the policy of the forum. But if someone wants to see the results before buying the actual game I can send you 2 example pictures. Just send a PM and I will reply with those 2 example pictures. Examples of non-loli characters are in the gallery section.
 
6. [Q] : What was changed in the new Fakku edition? What's the difference between the OLD and NEW download?
[A]: Jacob from fakku has a good description -> https://www.fakku.net/forums/games/maitetsu-fixes-and-updates .Everything written in the section "what has not changed" WAS already fixed already by heliosaurus by his patch and the same fix is present in the new "BANDAID removal PATCH + restoration patch"
 
7. [Q] Why is there a difference in size between Heliosaurus Restoration patch and "BANDAID removal PATCH + restoration patch"
Both patches work perfectly fine and shouldn't have any problems. You can use Heliosaurus on the OLD and NEW version but the BANDAID patch is only for new FAKKU download ONLY. But... the original restoration patch includes fixes which are already fixed in the new version of  FAKKU's edition and the BANDAID removal patch just removes this fixes from the PATCH to be less in size. The reason why you could still use the original restoration patch on the old and new version of fakku is that technically the patch is in original form a "patch.xp3" which contains mostly PICTURES! Yes, pictures. And it just replaces those pictures from the original data files which are located in "data.xp3" / "emotedx.xp3", and so on. The KiriKiri engine works like that. When FIRST run, it loads first files from, data.xp3, and all the main xp3, and then LOADS patch.xp3, patch2.xp3, patch3.xp3... and so on. That's why we don't need external programs to patch the original data files, and we can put everything in PATCH.XP3, or PATCH2.XP3, and so on. You can  literally replace the whole game with a single PATCH.xp3 file. The restoration patch was made by using resource files from the JAPANESE version and replaces the resource files from the ENGLISH version. So the original restoration patch just OVERWRITES fixes-pictures present in the MAIN game from the NEWEST fakku edition download....
 
8.[Q]: That isn't the game we were promised / it is disappointing / don't want to buy the game ....
[A]: Well, it isn't a question, I just want to express my opinion... I understand that the release a disappointment, and like everyone, even I would wanted a TOTALLY uncut and uncensored version. I hate the CUTS in western releases, but that was going on for decades not just in VN's look in the old days of SNES games with JRPGS. And in east they get the same results with some western games... Thanks to that, we have two types of ppl - one who are complaining and the the other one who are making uncut/undub/uncensored version of games, from snes to psp/psvita and so on. What I mean is that you shouldn't lose energy in complaining on fakku and denpasoft/sekai, yes even sekai. I understand that sekai don't take releases seriously but at least we got the translated version, whish is a huge WORK. And be thankful, we got "OMG!" Maitetsu! I can't expect newcomers and the ones on fakku to stop complaining ( and I am not saying that you have to start editing, and join the community of moders, but you are always welcome to join ), but at least you at fuwanovel you have no more reasons to complain. At the end you got the complete 1:1 japanese uncut release with english text, and even a little more, with the demosaic patch ( which in the japanese edition they don't have ).

That's fine, take your time, I already read MoeNovels release and I really enjoyed it.

Oh, I see... 5 years... God, that's an awfully long time spent on a project. They really stayed dedicated to the goal.
Man, how I hate Moenovel. It pisses me off so much that you need fans to go after them and fix their shit.

This project is currently stalled, as it has no translator. If you're interested in helping revive it, (heh, puns,) send me a PM.
Koiken Otome ~ Revive ~ Translation Project

 
Project Introduction:
VNDB Page
I'm a big fan of Koiken Otome and its fandisk, and feel like the fandisk deserves a TL. It doesn't seem like FlyingPantsu plans on TLing this game, so I figured I'd go ahead and do it myself. I'm completely finished with the translation work on my previous project, so I have been looking for a new game to pick up, and this seems perfect for me at the moment, with my interest in the game and my current Japanese skill level taken into account.
My initial plan is to translate the new routes first, which is Chiharu, Chiyoda and Minato's routes. The rest, (Kotona + the main heroine after routes,) I will leave for last, meaning there might be 2 patches released at different times, 1 for the new routes and 1 for the rest of the game. Keep in mind this plan might change down the line, if I get more translators or if I simply change my mind etc.
 
Progress:
I just started, so not much have been done yet. Thanks to @Porygon2 I have the scripts extracted, an overview of the line count and tools to work in. (Thanks a lot, you are a lifesaver!) 
I'm doing this as a side project next to my Japanese studies at uni, so I will have limited amounts of time each week to work on the project. Luckily, the game isn't too long. Although the total amount of lines is 27k, the three new routes I'm starting with only make up 12k of those, which is a lot more managable on my current schedule.
I will be making updates kind of when I feel like it, although I plan on doing at least 1 a month.
 
Recruitment:
As of right now, I am not recruiting anyone. I will be looking for QCers in the future, when the TL and editing % reaches a certain point, and I will also be looking for a TLC later on. I will post an update when the recruitment for these positions starts.
 
That's about it. I am starting with Minato's route, which is about 5k lines, then I'll do Chiharu and Chiyoda.

Shuffle!
Licensed by YumeHaven
 
Shuffle! follows the romantic life of Tsuchimi Rin a Japanese high schooler, who finds himself being sought after by a variety of girls. The world of Shuffle! consists of humans living in harmony with gods and devils. Despite their respective positive and negative connotations, both races are equally kind and good-natured. Your task is to choose a lover from the five girls the game offers.

This story takes place in an average town in an average country. Two families move next door to the home of an average young man who lived his days in peace. One was the family of the King of the Gods and the other was the family of the King of the Devils. Both Kings came to fulfill their daughter's wish: to live next to the young man whom they've loved every since the fateful day they first met.

"The man who can become either God, Devil, or Man", as his friend calls him with cynicism and envy, sets out on his new life full of turmoil, despair, and faint hope.

The main character of the game is Rin Tsuchimi, a student at Verbana Academy, a national school which various races attend. Rin is a student at Verbana Academy, a national school which various races attend. His parents died when he was still a child and now he lives with his childhood friend Kaede. Rin is very patient, but he can't bear to see anyone suffer. Although his life was always peaceful, the sudden appearance of two princesses has made him the center of attention throughout the school.
 
***Ending Guide***
There are five main girl routes in Shuffle! There is no forced order for the routes and you can play which ever of the girls you like. However,to unlock Primula's route, you must complete Nerine's route first . They are all fun. Here is a detailed walkthrough for each.
UPDATE: This Walkthrough was originally for the Mangagamer version of the game. The YumeHaven version has extra content, and it is possible the choices may vary a bit.

This walkthrough is based on info attained on Gamefaqs.com with minor adjustments made by me.

Those tags have nothing to do with the developers or publisher of the game/visual novel, they are made by users and aren't official at all and sometimes are abused, there are also cases where tags are added that have absolutely nothing to do with the game.
I wouldn't take most of those tags seriously if I was you.

Summary
Springtime.
The season of the cherry blossoms, and a time of new beginnings, new encounters, and new people.
For Aoba Kyousuke, this new season marks the start of his second year in high school, and after taking a moment to reflect, and looking at the friends around him...
All he can find is a dumbass too horny for his own good, and a weirdo who can't get over his strange fetish for lizard-humanoid creatures.
Sure enough he enjoys hanging out with them, and he wouldn't ever think of giving it up,
but something feels missing. A precious, valuable part of everyone's adolescence, and something he might just miss out on at this rate...
What is that something? Why, love. So upon realizing this, he shouts out to the world--
"I WANT A GIRLFRIEND!"
He'll need to give it his all, of course, because he knows that love does not come to those who just wait.
 
Ending Guideline / Suggested Route Order
There are four heroines. In order to get into the routes proper, you must select the heroine in the choice screen (when available) and then select to talk about topics that interest her.
This walkthrough will, among other things, clarify which topics interest a heroine. By selecting the topics within the walkthrough you will always receive a decent amount of affection and you may choose any combination of topics that interests you.
 
Walkthrough
Talk topics will be in brackets [] with the relevant questions for any heroine underneath between quotes "". Sometimes these questions will lead to further questions, which will be indicated by -->.
Some questions seem to provide more affection, so I'll mark those with (EXTRA). (Will be removed in the final version of the guide)
Not all possible questions will be presented, but there are enough that you will be able to move to the next stage.
NOTE: For some of the girls, when you have one at stage 4 and another at stage 3 a jealousy short scene will display.

Synopsis from NekoNyanSoft's website.
This Rina guide is based and tested by shadowice777, a Team Rina lover.
Contributions by AaronCHM.

We plan on releasing a new patch that will take into account a lot of typos/line breaks people have found through either patch through reports sent to me.

It's been quite a ride but it's nice to see this patch FINALLY released. I've been following the project ever since I found out the true full ReTranslation was just getting started after seeing people disappointed with the original Restoration patch (though mostly with Ageha's route). I've always really wanted to read this VN ever since I first found out about it (shortly after finding /r/vns) since it seemed the type of VN that was made for me. Many times I considered just reading the original Restoration patch but now I'm really glad I waited.

Being able to QC for a project like this was really fun, I enjoyed working with all the main members of the project team. Seeing them hiring for fan QC on Fuwanovel to seeing the invite to getting into the secret project chat were really exciting moments for me since Software QA is my full time position and I love visual novels so doing this for a VN I wanted to read made it a dream come true to be part of some sort of VN translation project.

A reason why I'm glad I waited is I was able to have fun reading this VN for the first time while also finding bugs and other TL/grammar issues to point out and see fixed shortly after. Sure the flow of my reading was broken whenever I found an issue to write up but I just found it all the more fun. While I was initially assigned to only QC Ageha's route, I'm glad I was eventually assigned to QC the whole thing because it felt more right to do so since I could find issues potentially consistent among other routes and I would be even more anxious to read the rest of the VN after only reading the common and Ageha route.

I learned a lot about how QC happens in TL scene and I'd honestly like to to be QC for some VN TL project in the future, fan or official. I feel like I should learn Japanese so I can be like a secondary editor when QCing in case I find a potential discrepancy in the text vs the voiced line. Konsora/IMHHW meeting my expectations as far as how much I liked the VN story/character wise was nice too.

In any case, I hope you guys enjoy this up to date patch whether you get the one for Steam/MoeNovel or the one for the Japanese version (I'm really glad we took the time to test and make sure both versions work). Just expect a comfy feel-good charage with bits of drama/development and not much in the way of deep plot.
 

EDIT: Due to Fuwa anti-piracy rules this thread's usefulness was quite limited, since we couldn't ask for any files that we needed for further compatibility testing and the like. I'd say even posting direct links to our patch here was questionable to begin with, since it's not that different from the abovementioned files that we were asking for.
So in the end we decided to remove all links from here and move our main release thread to Reddit: LINK
That's where all further updates will be posted, so make sure to follow us there. I'll ask mods to lock this thread, since MeruP won't be checking it anyway, so all feedback should be posted on Reddit instead (we also have a dedicated thread for reporting bugs and other issues).

New thread for the finished ReTranslation patch:

We have surprise update, and yes they finally release Renna's patch. Congratulation for the release, and if you want to get the patch, here's the link at Tsurezure's site. You can also read Trip's thought in regard of translating this here, and not surprisingly he still bitter about Maki's route. Well have fun in regard of Tsujidou, and once again don't expect too much of Majikoi here.
PS - For the next plan, they'll take a bit of hiatus before going on HatsuKoi append disk.

Well unlike Half-Life 3 I can confirm it's something that at least exists so

Coming soon to a website near you.

Another update, and I like that this time they have 13% progress from Renna's route, which of course more than enough to make up last two weeks progress. Here's the update for this week below:
Common Route Part 1: 100.0%
Common Route Part 2: 100.0%
Ai: 100.0%
Renna: 85.6%
Maki: 100.0%
Saeko: 100.0%
Total: 96.68%
That's all for this week update.
PS - Whil Urrim said that Renna's patch release can be happened before April 8th, I decided to just wait and see whether it can be happen or not. Of course if they can release it before the aforementioned date, then it'll be very good.

Absolutely nothing wrong? The guy lives in a dream world and his "this is wrong" thing is just stupid. He tries to help people, walks into traps even though everyone points out it is a trap and puts those who trust him into danger over and over again. Heck, the only thing that keeps him and his heroines alive is deus ex machina

if i hear 'fair janai' one more time....
