INSTALL
1. Keep your original unchanged. Work on a separate copy.
2. Check the original SHA-256 above. Use Floating IPS, beat or ROM Patcher JS with full BPS support (all four actions).
3. Apply the enclosed BPS to the exact original; do not patch an already translated disk or force a checksum mismatch.
4. Verify the patched D88 SHA-256 above before playing.
5. Boot afresh; do not resume an emulator save state made with a different build.
Windows checks: Get-FileHash -LiteralPath 'filename.d88' -Algorithm SHA256

PLAY AND SAVES
Tested emulator: MAME 0.289, PC-8801mkIISR. Supply your own required firmware. Boot the patched D88 afresh and begin with New Game.
The English default player name is Shiro. Back up all working disks and saves. Save compatibility across old translation builds is not guaranteed.

TESTING AND SCOPE
The maintainer reports having played through this game and authorized its public release on November 2, 2026. This is reported human playthrough evidence, separate from targeted automated emulator checks. No new playthrough was run during packaging. Translation is AI-assisted, with human refinement; Karuizawa includes player-corrected wording. This is not native-speaker certification.
Patch reconstruction, exact source/output identity, wrong-source and corrupt-patch rejection were rechecked for this release. The distribution patch already passed independent RomPatcher.js reconstruction during beta preparation. All known limitations remain visible below.

KNOWN ISSUES
- Start a new game; old saves can retain Japanese player names, and older emulator save states can restore obsolete code or graphics.
- Original title artwork and original script naming inconsistencies are retained.
- Exhaustive optional branches, audio and original hardware compatibility are not certified.
