Good effort for a barebones DS Script port, but unfortunately, it's nothing beyond that

What the title says.

The description is a bit misleading,

Original script from the European Nintendo DS version, with minor edits for continuity and updated official localisations.

Only the first part is true, as in it is a direct port of the European DS script, complete with typos, errors and deliberate changes to alter references to past games and other Japanese pop culture.

Moreover this patch is filled with issues, one of the major ones being that the Guidebook's in-game text is just a very basic texture swap with a stock font, and multiple pages have formatting issues, including a few instances like the Request 01's puzzle where the description for the camera shutter settings is completely on the wrong page (in the page prior).

Case 1: The page has the correct solution, but the description below it should be on the next page, and the description for the page in view is left in the page prior.

Japanese texture for reference:

Case 2:

Being direct DS script port, it carries over an issue present in both the US and EU English script, where one of the football lineups has been mistakenly copied over from another formation

Guidebook issues aside this also carries over all the typos present in the original script (You can even see one of them in the screenshots on this page! "Swify")

I've covered the issues in this thread: https://x.com/arhumSearcher/status/2082037121833922999?s=20

Either this patch was not playtested at all, or those who playtested it never played FSR before.

Why release it in such a state

There are zero edits to the script, despite what has been mentioned in the description. The dialogue text is pixelated (fixable), the guidebook is barely readable due to no anti-aliasing (shouldn't have been a problem) as well as contains formatting issues (how did this happen?), the memory card screen's white reveal ticker constantly goes over the necessary lines. Seems to have been a rush job, but why..?

Turning mode 1 and mode 2 on and DMA to UDMA 0 in the OPL settings fixed this.

I'm running into an issue where I'm crashing as soon as I walk into the diner during R-09. I'm playing on original hardware, not sure if this issue is present emulated.

Huge fan of FSR! Since this patch doesn't come with a translated version of the Lospass Guide Book, I figured I'd link a translated PDF of it here. The LOSPASS
