INSTALLING THE PATCH (romhacking.net website)

1. Go to https://www.romhacking.net/patch/
2. In the "ROM file" field, put "rgopsp_episode_2_patch.xdelta".
3. In the "Patch file" field, put the path to an unmodified ISO for Lucky Star: Ryouou Gakuen
Outousai Portable (you must obtain this yourself)
4. Press "Apply patch"

The patched iso file will then be downloaded to your device.

INSTALLING THE PATCH (xDeltaUI):

1. Open xDeltaUI.exe
2. Make sure the "Apply Patch" tab is activated in the window that pops up.
3. In the "Patch" field, put "rgopsp_episode_2_patch.xdelta".
4. In the "Source File" field, put the path to an unmodified ISO for Lucky Star: Ryouou Gakuen Outousai Portable (you must obtain this yourself)
5. Set the "Output File" to whatever you want your resulting iso file to be named, ending in .iso.

The patch will then take some time to generate, so be patient.
It could take anywhere from ~30 seconds to over a minute.

Once the resulting iso file has been generated, you are all set!

PLAYING THE PATCH:
Once you have your patched iso file, you can play the patch either
on a hacked PSP or PS Vita, or by loading it via the PPSSPP emulator.

PPSSPP can be downloaded here: https://www.ppsspp.org/


WARNING -- USING EPISODE 1 SAVE DATA
If you have save data from the Episode 1 reboot of the English patch,
your save data will transfer over without issue in most cases, however,
some issues may occur if your save data was made just before a choice
or scene transition.

This is because due to additional dialogue boxes added to the patch,
your save data may get shifted a few dialogue boxes ahead or behind
of where the save originally was. This can cause problems where you
might find yourself in a completely different scene than you would
expect, since sometimes scenes from very different parts of the game
are located next to each other in the script.

The easiest way to prevent this from happening is to make sure that
any save files you intend to use for the Episode 2 patch are in the
"Finished Episode" state before applying the patch,
meaning that you have just reached the credits and have saved after
viewing them. This will ensure that your save data starts in the correct spot.

Additionally, save files from before the Episode 1 reboot (AKA the 2023 Episode 1 patch)
are unfortunately incompatible with this patch, and you will have to start over,
otherwise things such as the protagonist name may be corrupted or not display as you would expect.
