Apply Patch

1. Click Code
2. Click Download ZIP
3. Extract to game folder and Replace All.

Future Patching

1. Run GameUpdate.bat to auto patch (Windows).

Folder layout

In this translation-tool repo: Patch payloads stay tidy inside gameupdate/gameupdate/ (patch.ps1, patch-config.txt, etc.). GameUpdate.bat and GameUpdate_linux.sh sit one level up, under gameupdate/.

On an installed game (what gets copied over): Put GameUpdate.bat in the game root, next to the game exe. Put patch.ps1 and friends inside gameupdate\ under that same root (mirror names—still gameupdate\). GameUpdate.bat finds gameupdate\patch.ps1 from its own folder, so GameRoot is correct even if the console cwd is somewhere else.

Copy checklist: From DazedMTLTool/gameupdate/, copy GameUpdate.bat to <game>\; copy everything inside gameupdate/gameupdate/ into <game>\gameupdate\.

2. Optional: set GAMEUPDATE_PROMPT_PWSH=1 before running GameUpdate.bat if you want users to be prompted to install PowerShell 7 via winget.
3. Optional: set GAMEUPDATE_DL_ATTEMPTS (default 2) to control retries for API checks/downloads. Lower values fail faster; higher values tolerate flaky networks.

Troubleshooting

GAMEUPDATE.bat doesn't update and closes immediately

1. Make sure your path doesn't contain any Japanese characters or lots of whitespace.
2. Make sure you actually have permissions in the folder
3. Auto-update calls GitLab’s public HTTP API (/api/v4/...), not the web “Download ZIP” URL—no account or token is required for public patch repos.

For WOLF RPG games, if you downloaded the game off of DLSite, you will need to do some extra steps to patch it. This is because there is a "master" file called Data.wolf that will take priority over the english patch files. You will need this file to be a folder before patching will work.

Wolf Games

1. Download the latest UberWolf.exe release from the following link: https://github.com/Sinflower/UberWolf/releases
2. Drag Data.wolf onto UberWolf.exe. This will create a new folder called data.wolf~
3. Rename the new data.wolf~ folder to Data
4. Delete the Data.wolf file
5. Delete previous_patch_sha.txt (this will exist if you ran GameUpdate.bat previously)
6. Run GameUpdate.bat
