Tsukihime 2000 - 16:9 HD Patch (2024)

Tsukihime 2000 - 16:9 Patch

This is the public release of the Tsukihime 16:9 patch, what started out as a mere question of "would it be possible" looking into Nscripter's API has now turned into a full release.
The game is patched to be rendered in a resolution of 1920x1080. All game assets such as sprites, UI elements, backgrounds, CG's have been upscaled. This version contains H-scenes.

Menu backgrounds have been been remade from their initial 4:3 scale into 16:9 image's content awarely by my self made automated process to insure a consistent presentation and lastly hand adjusted for polish. Due to the aspect ratio increase all menu buttons (yes even the secret menu buttons), sprites and UI elements have had to be manually mapped onto the game canvas for a widescreen presentation. Since i had to retouch and adjust all of these i tried my best at fixing clipping issues present in the original and various other patches.

Ingame backgrounds and CG's i purposely decided against recreating content awarely, this was a creative decision to preserve the original artstyle since recreating these would result in inlogical artifacting and certain backgrounds wouldn't work due to the scenes they are portraying. Therefor these are presented in 1920x1440 (4:3) and will fill the 1920x1080 game canvas appropriately resulting in a 16:9 image.

Installation

Download the patch from mediafire dot com

v.1.05
/file/9hy72258v2mvhc0/Tsukihime_16_9_Patch_v105.7z/file

Extract and replace the following files in the game's root folder
  • Arc.nsa
  • Arc1.nsa
  • Arc.sar
  • Tsukihime.exe
  • Nscript.dat
  • Ons.cfg

That's it. now if you are running on a display other than 1080p, 1440p or use scaling options other than 100% you may need to do some additional configuration.

Existing Savefiles
This patch uses C:\ProgramData\Tsukihime if you've previously read Tsukihime, depending on where you got it from the save file location may differ and you will want to copy those save files to the new location. You can try to launch the patch first to see if your savefiles appear or not.
The savefiles are envdata, gloval.sav followed by save1.dat save2.dat.. up to save20.dat
Possible savefile locations for other versions:
  • "C:\Program Files (x86)\Tsukihime", The root folder of your previous Tsukihime install tsukihime.exe is stored
  • "C:\Users\<USER NAME>\AppData\Local\VirtualStore"
  • "C:\Programdata\ONScripter-" (followed by four characters) i.e "C:\Programdata\ONScripter-d579", you can use the old version of Tsukihime and save to find out which folder it is as the "date modified" will be updated.
Resolutions and Display Scaling
If you're display is using scaling you might run into issues where the game window doesn't fit your screen and you may need to manually configure a couple of settings (for now). Alternatively If you do not wish to configure any settings you can set your display settings scaling to 100%.
The files to configure are:
  • Tsukihime.exe - DPI Scale override
  • ONS.cfg - scale - remove "scale" from ons.cfg if your scaling requires you to

DPI Scaling
Tsukihime.exe > Show more options > Properties > Comptability > Change high DPI settings
High DPI scaling override > override high DPI scaling behaviour.

Lots of interesting discoveries were made about how the game is built and what tricks Mirror Moon used in order to bypass the API's limits, these took some time however as well as in general figuring out Nscripter and it's possibilities.
More detailed explanations about the process can be found on my Twitter.

FIXED PREVIOUS SAVES you no longer have to patch existing savefiles
Thanks to NETANNAD, i was comparing my code with their and figured out why loadgosub wasn't working previously - fixing textwindows on load with previous savefiles.

Version 1.03 - Adjusted the textbox to better utilize the 16:9 aspect ratio adding more spacing

Issues

Windows display scaling will zoom the game window
If your game is zoomed in configure the patch as stated above or go into your display settings and set scaling to 100%
