v1.0.0-rc1

September 2026Release candidate

First public release candidate.

  • One-click English CIA: drop a decrypted .cia / .3ds / .cci on the patcher bat and get out/NewLovePlusPlus-EN.cia in minutes when the gold bake is present.
  • Gold bake: pre-built English img.bin (~49 packages, ~1,190 menu textures), required for the English UI chrome; dialog alone is not enough. Downloaded automatically from CI on first run, or built locally if needed.
  • Faster rebuilds for maintainers: a content-addressed pack cache cuts repeat bake time from ~16 hours to minutes when assets are unchanged.
  • English menu chrome: title hub, Options/clock, display/sound settings, Gallery/Communication/Data Management, confirm softkeys (Back/Next/OK), gallery screens, save-data dialogs, keyboard tabs, SysPopup buttons, myroom/mydata/schedule headers, and the boot CESA warning.
  • Title-screen menu (partial): some of the main menu items on the title screen are translated; the rest are still Japanese for now.
  • Profile romaji name-input: type your first name in Hepburn romaji on the gojūon grid instead of Japanese kanji selection.
  • English dialog: 480 scripts injected as pre-built .dbin2; heroine names rewritten to Takane/Rinko/Nene.
  • Romaji heroine names in dialog: the speaker name shown in the dialog box now renders in romaji (Takane/Rinko/Nene) instead of the original Japanese.
  • Title screen: shows Eng Patch v1.0.0-rc1 as a separate version line above the Konami copyright.
  • Requirements: Windows, Python 3.10+, and a matching New Love Plus+ dump (SHA-1 verified). Input must already be decrypted.
