Trouble Days & Kukkoro Days Content Restore Mod

The use of Simple mod manager is highly recommended due to the nature of this mod, as it allows for easy enabling/disabling (get it here). This mod can be installed manually if you must, but it's structured to work with the manager and latest version of atmosphere.

Before we start, this mod will enable the R18 content in-game and the gallery. No such files will be provided in this tutorial, only a custom config, links will only be provided to the legit steam patch (sfw page so think it's allowed). This game has an adult warning in the base game already so no kids allowed here, shoo.

There are two version of the games' patch, a mosaic version of the scenes for the steam edition of the game, or a fully uncensored version for the MangaGamer edition. The steam patch can be downloaded for free, but the MangaGamer edition must be purchased as it comes pre-patched, unlike the steam edition. The switch install process is the same for both games regardless of which patch you download.

And that's it, this should work with all languages but I've only tested with English.

If it doesn't work try going over everything again, or you might have an issue with one of the programs needed. If that's the case look to the forums for said programs for help, as I haven't made any of the apps or homebrew that I've used in this tutorial so can't help with any related issue.
With that being said, make sure you use the nsp files for this tutorial, if you wanna be lazy and just use the pc files instead of extracting the nca then it won't work. It either wont boot, crash, or give you a black screen after the R18 warning.

Sorry if these seemed like thread spam, I just got excited and wanted to share my discoveries.

Have fun

(Sorry for the error, I forgot to change the folder names for each game, fixed now, should show up correctly in the mod manager)

 

Haha it's not you're fault, I did take them down for a bit while I uploaded the new version, sorry.

 

Glad to hear you got the other game working fine. Thanks for bringing this to my attention, I'm not sure how you're having that problem but I booted up the game to test it and noticed that I can't save, quicksave and quickload works so progress can be continued but regular saving just freezes the game. I have no idea how this happened, or the problem you're having, as during my initial testing I never had either of these problems.

I'm going to go through and retest and remod all of the games to make sure I didn't miss something, but this is quite puzzling, thanks for letting me know and sorry for the inconvenience.

2nd Ed: Right think it's fixed, there's no difference to the file but I updated the instructions to include the 'save.lua' file that I missed, please look to step 4 in tab 2 to see where this file goes.

If you still get a black screen then go through and make sure you got all the files from the trouble days rom and didn't accidentally mix them up with any of the other games (in case you extracted multiple games at a time) as the files are all different despite having the same names.

Only other thing I can think of is to make sure you have the 'system.ini' file extracted, and placed in the root of your 'romfs' folder, it doesn't go inside the 'system' folder where the other files are. If you did that, it's my fault as the folder preview I uploaded didn't show that file in the root folder, which I've updated now but may have caused confusion so my apologies for that.

 

I wasn't too interested in NekoMiko cos I've played lots of shrine maiden laden games before, but gave it a shot anyway.

I got the scenes to implement in the game but it's not playable, or even properly viewable. Unfortunately, not only are there way more files that need to be pulled and then also modified by you guys (as I wouldn't be allowed to share them) but all of the image files are completely different resolutions. So the touch screen stopped responding properly because images were stretched or shrunk on the screen from like 25% to 300% of their normal size and as a result most the menu function was broken too. And obviously you couldn't properly see anything as a result.

It really sucks because I wanted to get all of them done while I was so intrigued by these games, but yeah sadly that one is a no go. You would have to compare the resolutions for every single image and then upscale or downscale then, which I tried myself just out of stubbornness but any edited file needs to be loose as whenever I repacked the archive it wouldn't load. Sadly when I have all those image files unpacked, even with the correct resolutions and configs etc, the game either refuses to load, or doesn't load the cut scenes. I think the game needs to see the r18 archive for it to activate the content and/or maybe there's a file limit on layeredfs but either way it doesn't work.

The only think I could do was replace the pre-existing scenes that had fog or light ray censoring (like any bathing scenes), with the ones that didn't. So at most all I could manage was some free the nipple action going on, which I didn't feel was worth making a thread about since it's not a full restore and there's only like 2 of those scenes in that game iirc.

So I'm sorry about that, but with all the games I've done so far, the developer uses a config file to auto detect the device and determine resolution (so it's set to 1080p on pc and ps4, 720p on switch, psvita) so this isn't a problem here, but NekoMiko doesn't seem to implement these configs as the files themselves are different resolutions (I think it's the devs first game so maybe that's why). Should mention I don't think these games are on any Sony platforms, so it's a bit sad to see in the files that they clearly had planned on it at some point but I'd hazard a guess that they couldn't pass the Sony censor.

 

I just redid the whole process myself and got a black screen, with both steam and mangagamer files, going back to the working mod files I had and suddenly they black screen now too. I'm not entirely sure what is happening but it might be something up with the switch itself, or maybe layeredfs somehow is playing up. Because if I have working mod files, removing them and reapplying them should again result in a working mod, but for some reason I'm getting black screened too now. So I'm guessing it's not a problem with the files themselves, I'll try testing a bunch of other things in the morning and I'll get back to you with any progress. Sorry for all the bother, it's been working literally every other time I was doing stuff with it so I'm quite baffled tbh.

Ed: Ignore all that, I was an idiot and had corrupted files from my extraction, mangagamer version works as intended. I'm looking through each file to compare any differences between the steam and mangagamer patch, so far I'm only seeing the images that are different, the configs I've looked over for now are all the same so I can say for certain that if you can get the mangagamer patch then it'll work. I'm still working on steam for this one, hope it works cos pretty sure the other games are fine with both versions.

Ed: Ok try also extracting the files 'steam.lua' and 'system.lua' from the 'adv' folder of your extracted root.pfs, and place them in the 'adv' folder in the mod where the 'func.lua' file is located. That should fix it, please let me know if it does so I can update the guide, thanks for your patience and I hope this actually fixes it for you this time.
