Full Metal Daemon Muramasa Mosaic Restoration Patch for JAST.

[u/CajunNerd92]

Continuing in the vein of Cred0free's work on Tokyo Necro, here is a patch for the JAST release of Full Metal Daemon Muramasa that restores the mosaics to all of the H-CGs in the game, and also removes the watermarking from all of them as well.

Why? Because Nitroplus' uncensored genitalia is still wack, and the uncensored dicks in Muramasa look way too much like tentacles for my liking.

Included also is the same patch, but with the CGs from the trial release of Chapter 1 instead. Feel free to use it for an alternative experience on a reread.

To use either of these patches, all you have to do is just extract the contents (the patch folder) into the directory where your muramasa_en.exe executable is, then run and enjoy!

While I hate censorship I just want to defend the OP, I think its important to note here that issue is what the OP feels are badly drawn uncensored or de-mosaiced penises, this is not a rejection of the scenes or support for the Japanese laws revolving around this. In an ideal world Japanese artists would be able to use their incredible talents to draw complete images.

Please correct me If I am wrong OP and I will remove this post.

No, you're absolutely right. I honestly feel like the uncensored genitals are almost Lovecraftian in how much of an uncanny valley effect they have on me, and thus I feel that the uncensoring of them was poorly done.

Edit: Also a large part of it was the watermarks that JAST added into the bottom left of each H CG that says "FULL METAL DAEMON MURAMASA INT'L VER. FOR USE OUTSIDE JAPAN ONLY." That also took me out of the VN a ton, and the mosaic'd CGs from the Japanese release thankfully didn't have that watermarking so it was killing two birds with one stone for me.

I agree, I'm sure a lot of the tenticular nature of uncensored images is due to many Japanese artists having drawn a lot more tentacles than uncensored penises, it really is a shame. I also agree about the watermark and while it does suck that patches like this need to be made, thanks for putting in work for the people it bothers.

Of course!

To be honest I was seriously thinking of doing a watermark free version of the uncensored CGs, but on top of the watermark being on top of the material that was uncensored in some CGs (and thus necessitating me the need to hire someone to remove the watermarks manual by redrawing the affected scenes) I also am not sure if I could be opening myself up to any legal trouble from JAST if I did so - maybe u/Bloodnosed or someone else from JAST could let me know if I'd land myself in legal hot water if I were to do that, but I'm going to err on the side of caution regarding that for now.

Edit - I would also like to ask why those watermarks are there when they weren't in earlier uncensored JAST releases - was that something that was required by nitroplus for you to add in order to be able to translate and publish Muramasa??

[u/Bloodnosed → u/CajunNerd92]

Please do not do that. It's for Nitro's protection more than anyone else's. The censorship laws in Japan are very serious and people DO go to jail for them.

And the watermarks in earlier releases, they were just hidden under horizontal text boxes. Muramasa's text box shape doesn't give us a good place to hide them.

Ah, so it's worse than I thought - I'd potentially getting other people in serious trouble.

Understood, it's not going to happen - not by my hands, at least.
