Last week, Hilltop +[released an English patch for Boku no Natsuyasumi +2](https://www.patreon.com/posts/boku-no-2-patch-92070798), which +finally makes the Japan exclusive PS2 game accessible to us English +speaking folks. The README explains how to apply the patch on Windows +or via a web utility. Having never patched an ISO before, I wondered +how it could be done using a native Linux utility instead. Turns out +it's easy to do via the xdelta tool. + +First, get xdelta from your distro’s package repository. I use Guix +so I ran `guix shell xdelta` rather than install it because this is a +one-off task. + +Then patch the ISO: + +``` +xdelta3 -d -s Boku2.iso Boku2EnglishPatch1.1.xdelta Boku2-patched.iso +``` + +Did a quick test in my softmodded PS2 with [GrimDoomer’s modified +OPL](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nKoRvWKojz0&t=9s&pp=ygUHb3BsIHBzMg%3D%3D) +so I could easily load it from an SSD in the expansion bay and it +works!! + + + +Of course, I went through all this trouble to play the game because of +[Tim Roger's 6 hour +review](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=779coR-XPTw&pp=ygUNYWN0aW9uIGJ1dHRvbg%3D%3D) +of the original Boku no Natsuyasumi.
