From anon in the other thread:

It's not available for purchase yet. We'll have to wait a little longer.

Anyways, to speed up the process of the voice patch:
http://www.stack.nl/~vdz/onzin/Kara%20no%20Shoujo%20Japanese%20script.rar (Japanese script)
http://www.stack.nl/~vdz/onzin/Kara%20no%20Shoujo%20voice%20files.rar (All voices in original OGG format)
http://www.stack.nl/~vdz/onzin/Kara%20no%20Shoujo%20trial%20script.rar (Scenario part of MG's trial script)

The Japanese script is in a bit of an odd format, but both the text and the voice file references are clearly readable, and that's what counts. Just write something to recognize the voice references and port them over to MangaGamer's script, it looks like it shouldn't be that hard with a program. Then MG's modified script files should be placed in a folder named 'scenario' and repacked using insani's Kirikiri tools and saved as 'patch.xp3', which is then just placed in the game folder and it should work.
(Yes, MangaGamer's version uses Kirikiri.)

It doesn't even matter if they put DRM on it or not.

They're using Kirikiri which is an open source engine. You can build your own, take one from the author's site or just get the version they put on the trial.
To use the one on the trial, all you have to do is open up the trial's executable in a hex editor, copy from start of the file to the start of the XP3 to obtain a usable exe. After that you need to extract the XP3 from the full version using the same method. You can either concatenate the 2 files (executable and XP3 archive) and you would get a DRM-free executable.

The only way their DRM would work is if they took special care of it like japanese companies do when using Kirikiri.

Not that any of this matters anyways, I don't know of any MangaGamer game that didn't get cracked despite having DRM.

>A very important tidbit about this: MangaGamer basically screwed up and the first version of the game they put up for sale had no DRM whatsoever. They have fixed it now, the current version has it.

>The important thing is there's a major bug on the version without DRM. When you meet someone ingame, the MC writes a little profile on his notebook, which you can check anytime and is updated as you find new information about that person. However, when you meet the killer for the first time the notebook entry that gets added is actually the final one, which obviously tells you outright "this is the killer". Way to go, Mangagamer!

>AFAIK, this only happens when you meet the killer for the first time, so further notebook entries will be the right ones. So if you're planning on reading this, don't read notebook entries for characters as soon as you meet them. If you wait until you get some more info on that character, the entry should update and it should be safe to check it. Still, I have no idea when it's safe to check as I don't know whodunit.

>> No.7551141

The engine used by MG's Kara no Shoujo port does not appear to have changed from trial to full (KiriKiri 2.32.2.426),
which means there's no reason to crack the game, the trial exe can be reused.

First verify that you have the right files:
md5sum kara_no_shoujo_full.exe 51394197edbed50efbc2c02c74b96135 - full DRM version
md5sum kara_no_shoujo_trial.exe 80bd0bd48a9ee901ef5ae4ef9dabc8e9 - trial version, no DRM

In a Linux or Unix-like system, run these commands:
dd if=kara_no_shoujo_trial.exe of=kara_no_shoujo_base.exe bs=3759104 count=1
dd if=kara_no_shoujo_full.exe of=kara_no_shoujo.data bs=1 seek=6695424
cat kara_no_shoujo_base.exe kara_no_shoujo.data > kara_no_shoujo_drm_free.exe
rm kara_no_shoujo_base.exe kara_no_shoujo.data

This will give you a DRM-free exe:

md5sum kara_no_shoujo_drm_free.exe b52965ed37816de1dbe6d10eba9c2a89 - DRM-less version derived from trial

This is not tested at all, but it appears to run using the trial data files, with a few subtle changes.

>> No.7551146

>>7551115

I mean things like... are we solely using a hex editor or do we need kirkiri tools in order to concatenate the two files?

I tried copy and pasting what seems to be "the start of the file to the start of the xp3" from the trial .exe and replacing that part in the normal exe with it. Won't run.

The trial data files are like 200mb compared to 800mb in the normal release.

Doesn't that matter?

>> No.7551160

>>7551150
I think it will run fine in WINE, but the only reason I gave the instructions in this form was because it would take a long time to explain how much to seek and how much to copy in a hex editor, I don't feel like writing manuals here for such trivial stuff.

dd and cat are unambiguous in their meaning and I figured someone would either have access to a Unix-like system or be able to read the manpages and translate the commands into something their hex-editor of choice can understand.

>> No.7551166

>>7551154
The exe's contain the engine and all the scripts. The external XP3 archive contains all the data files (CGs, sounds, BGMs and others). The trial should have slightly different data files with most of the latter part of the game's data missing, but what really matters is just using the right engine with the right scripts, which should work as long as all the data files are present.

Voice patch: http://www.megaupload.com/?d=52AROVVJ
Voices are interpreted as sound effects (SFX volume slider in menu affects them) but are played in a different sound buffer so they won't get interrupted by any normal sound effects playing. Voice support is very basic with no bells and whistles such replaying from the backlog, additional related option menus, etc.

Bugfix(?) patch: http://www.megaupload.com/?d=H17XZM42
Contains .tjs files (where they are are different) from the original non DRM release which presumably isn't affected by the notebook spoiler bugs. Untested.

Font patch: http://www.megaupload.com/?d=Q1FG8DXZ
Replaces the ugly monospace font they used with Arial.

To use the patches, just copy to the game directory. I think the above 3 patches can be used in any combination; however, the patch file numbers must go in consecutive order (i.e. patch.xp3, patch2.xp3, patch3.xp3, etc. -- note there is no patch1.xp3). As an example: if you only want to use the font patch, just rename it from patch3.xp3 to patch.xp3.

I'm definitely buying the MG version too (the very next time I'm in a country they sell to; I'm IP-blocked here ;_; thus very happy to have the download for now), in hopes of showing Innocent Grey that there's a viable market for their games overseas so we get Cartagra and KnS 2 once it's released.

>using real deal seriously
it has sex in it so it's in the 18+ version, that's the end of the story
just because you're self conscious about liking something with porn in it and try to rationalize it doesn't make it any less porn

I could have just been directed to sukebei and I could type in Kara no Shoujo. It's not like I asked to be linked directly to it. After all, he probably just had it open in a tab and pasted it in. Not like it's any effort to help me out.

I'm not even the guy who was asking for help, but you're being an arsehole here as far as concerned. No wonder, seeing as you're one of the typical morons on /jp/ who claim superiority above every other board, probably to help boost your low self-esteem. Just for your information, I frequent /v/, /a/ and /jp/, and you can't stop me from doing so by being a faggot.

As one of Inogure fanboys I don't actually like the idea of MG translating this VN, and releasing it voiceless to make it even worse. It's ridiculous seeing how they justify their half assed translation for being just fine, not to mention the original VN involved high tier seiyuus such as Aji Sanma. All of my rage, MG should just keep TLing hentai games and get out of Inogure's sight. But then Inogure needs the money so it can't be helped. Hope people are more willing to learn Japanese and buy the original KnS2 in the future.

How can you tell which ending you got?

I just finished the game once, and got an ending where

You get to see Orihime get executed, and then you die , basically learning nothing

Is this Ending 1, an ending where you have to get a bad end, and thus none of my choices really mattered?
