Key points
- Five additional costumes from the PSP version were not included, since the English version is a straight re-release of the prior Japanese version.
- The English version by Mastiff suffers from various typos, spelling, and translation errors, which can be fixed.
- There's a panty shot in the game that is censored. It can be restored with this patch. (Backup link)
- Gameplay is locked to 30 FPS.

General settings.
Advanced graphics settings.
| Graphics feature | State | Notes | |
|---|---|---|---|
| Widescreen resolution | Highest supported resolution is 1920x1080. If the display resolution supports resolutions lower than 1080p, then selecting a higher resolution than what is supported (i.e. 1920x1080 on a 1600x900 monitor) will make the game render at the chosen resolution. If the display is higher than 1080p then the game will upscale the image.[3] |
||
| Multi-monitor | |||
| Ultra-widescreen | |||
| 4K Ultra HD | See Increase Rendering Resolution. | ||
| Field of view (FOV) | |||
| Windowed | |||
| Borderless fullscreen windowed | See the glossary page for potential workarounds. | ||
| Anisotropic filtering (AF) | Settings menu has values 1x, 2x, 3x and 4x. These represent 2x, 4x, 8x and 16x values. | ||
| Anti-aliasing (AA) | Up to 8x MSAA, however, the 4x option causes a DirectX initialization error.[4] Nvidia users can follow this guide for better AA. |
||
| Vertical sync (Vsync) | If Vsync is disabled in the game options, it can't be forced by third party software.[3] | ||
| 60 FPS and 120+ FPS | Gameplay is capped at 30 FPS. | ||
| High dynamic range display (HDR) | |||
- Most graphical settings, including anisotropic filtering and anti-aliasing, do not work if Depth of Field and Back Buffer are enabled. However disabling back buffer does have side effect where main menu starts flickering, though is still usable.[5][6][7]

Notes
- ↑ 1.0 1.1 File/folder structure within this directory reflects the path(s) listed for Windows and/or Steam game data (use Wine regedit to access Windows registry paths). Games with Steam Cloud support may store data in
~/.steam/steam/userdata/<user-id>/322290/in addition to or instead of this directory. The app ID (322290) may differ in some cases. Treat backslashes as forward slashes. See the glossary page for details.
