Brought to you by: Cuyler
Translators: Cuyler, Spoon Me, ElectroSwoosh, BananasGoMoo BrianMp16, Lauren, & Acrolance
Special Thanks: My Patrons and everyone who has helped with the project in any way so far!

=====================

Installing the Patch:

As the Doubutsu no Mori e+ ISO contains the property of Nintendo, you'll have to source a copy of the Doubutsu no Mori e+ ISO yourself.
You'll have to dump it from your own physical game, or source it some other way.
Once you have a copy of the full game ISO (1.35GB, not the trimmed ~30MB file), we can start.

Step 0) [Optional] [Only needed once]
	Install the latest .NET Framework runtime for Windows which can be found from Microsoft here: https://dotnet.microsoft.com/download
	If you already have the latest version installed, you may skip this step.

Step 1)
	Open ForestPatcher.exe.

Step 2)
	The patcher program will attempt to search for a valid Doubutsu no Mori e+ ISO & Patch file in the same folder as itself.
	It will automatically fill in the necessary information if valid files are found.
	If both of the text boxes are filled in and no prompt windows appear, skip to Step 4!

	If the Source text box is blank, click the "Open" button next to it.
	Select your unmodified, original Doubutsu no Mori e+ ISO.
	The program will verify that the ISO is compatible and notify you if it is not compatible.
	This may take a bit. Be patient and wait for the progress screen to go away!
	NOTE: Make sure to keep a copy of the original ISO for later patches!

Step 3)
	If the Patch text box is blank, click the "Open" button next to it.
	Select most recent patch file version you have.
	If the program detects your patch version is outdated, it will ask if you wish to be taken to the Patreon to update it.

Step 4)
	Click the "Patch" button.
	The program will begin creating a patched ISO for you.
	Wait until the program says the patched ISO has been created.
	An explorer window will be automatically opened at the location of the newly patched ISO!

	If the program says an error has occurred, click on the "Discord" button or the "Patreon" button and get in contact with me!
	I will help you as soon as possible!

Step 5)
	Enjoy the newest English patch of Doubutsu no Mori e+!
	The game has been converted to work flawlessly on a NTSC formatted memory card. The game id is GAEE01.
	New patches will be released monthly via my Patreon: https://www.patreon.com/Cuyler
	NOTE: Once the translation is completed, the final patch will be released free of charge for everyone.

FAQ:

Q:
   Why didn't you just release the patched ISO?
A:
   I respect Nintendo's intellectual property. I will not illegally distrubute the ISO.

Q:
   Why isn't each patch released for free?
A:
   The Patreon funds allow me to continue working on the project by offsetting some of my living costs.
   I regularly put in over 100 hours a month into this project!
   We'd like to keep the dialog as authentic as possible. If you would like to help, becoming a patron is the best way!

Q:
   When do you think the translation will be completed?
A:
   It's hard to say. We're currently shooting for a March 2020 final public release!
   This is tenative of course. It can (and probably will) change.

Q:
   Are there any non-monetary ways I can help contribute to the project?
A:
   Yes! We're always looking for people who can translate Japanese to English!
   If you or someone you know is able and willing to help translate, please contact me via Discord!

   You can also help by spreading the word. The more people who know about the project, the better!
