SCHWARZESMARKEN: KOUKETSU NO MONSHOU
English Translation Patch v1.0
Bloodstained Crest

This package contains the English translation patch and supplementary reading
material. The original game is required and is not included.

INSTALLATION
1. Acquire a legal copy of Schwarzesmarken: Kouketsu no Monshou and install it.
   This patch is for the original Japanese Kouketsu no Monshou game, not part
   two or another Schwarzesmarken release.
2. Close the game. Back up the original rugp.exe outside the game folder.
   If updating an older English patch, also back up its four patch files.
3. Open the "Patch Files" folder in this ZIP. Copy ALL FOUR FILES INSIDE IT
   directly into your installed game folder containing rugp.exe and schewaA.rio.
   Allow existing files with the same names to be replaced.
   Copy the folder's contents, not the "Patch Files" folder itself.
4. Launch the game with シュヴァルツェスマーケンA.exe from your game folder.
   Keep all original game archives,
   engine DLLs and other installation files in place.
5. Retain any Japanese locale or other setup needed to run your original game.

ONLY THESE FOUR FILES GO IN THE GAME FOLDER
Patch Files/rugp.exe                 Patched game executable.
Patch Files/schewa_translation.dll   Translation code and English artwork.
Patch Files/schewa_en.bin            Final proofread script and UI text.

The English logo, including "Bloodstained Crest," is built into the patch.
No translation_settings.ini or additional configuration is required.

LIGHT NOVEL TRANSLATION CREDIT
All five included light novel PDFs were translated by Mohamed Hassan.

those used in the game translation.

RESTORING THE UNPATCHED GAME
Close the game, restore your original rugp.exe, and remove schewa_translation.dll,
schewa_en.bin and native_ui.flag. Keep the original game files and your saves.
The patch may create schewa_translation.log during play; this diagnostic log
can also be removed while the game is closed.
