Unofficial Patches for 4.38.23429

This thread is for the unofficial patches for the new firmware 4.38.23429. Most of the patches work. It may work for later firmware. I cannot say as I've not tried.

It is WINDOWS ONLY as only the Windows version of koboptch-windows.exe has been updated to work with this firmware.

I would like to thank @aardvark for the updated Windows .exe and @jackie-w for help in updating some patches.

Use the file kobopatch.yaml to override the no to yes for each patch you want to apply. I cannot say all the patches work. Most of them do apply. If you have any issue with any of the patches, just post about the issue.

This is the same format as the unofficial patches for 4.38.23171.

I find it hilarious that we refer to these as UNOFFICIAL patches. What makes ANY patches official?

Before I would call these patches official, all of the patches would have to be tested to make sure they apply. I've not done that.

Why is the file named 23038 while this thread is titled 23429?

And is there any hope for a non-Windows solution?

It's a mistake in the ZIP filename. The contents are correct. I've corrected the filename.

A for non-Windows. No idea. I doubt it though. It should be fairly easy to find a Windows system to use. Surely you know someone who uses Windows.

All that is needed is for someone to compile the fixed code on a Linux box... Not exactly rocket science.

If anyone gets this working under Linux or MacOS, let me know and I'll update the the patches.
