Massive thanks to guguy00 for uploading this save so early!


*ATTENTION*
You must remove any previous incomplete save files from your system for this to work, you can add them back when you finish.

Judgement finally came to PC so lets celebrate with a guide.
The Yakuza/Judgement series like to lock the hardest difficulty behind completion, this tutorial will let you play it on your first run.

Head to https://www.nexusmods.com/judgment/mods/9 and download the file data.sys and open it with WinRAR or 7zip

Now that we have the system data, we need to find Judgement's system and save data locations.
(C:\Users\[user]\AppData\Roaming\Sega\Judgment\Steam\87729270\system) for the initiated.

But to get there, first type %appdata% into windows search



then click on the Sega folder


followed by the Judgement folder


now click steam


and click 87729270





Now we can take the data.sys file from our download, and drag it into the system folder,
and click replace when it asks you to overwrite/merge the file.

Now you can start a new game in Legend difficulty mode, enjoy the pain!

Tool doesn't seem to be working, will finish section when I figure out what's wrong

**PLEASE BACK UP AND MAKE A COPY OF YOUR SAVE BEFORE ATTEMPTING THIS**

Now while both ways will work, this method allows you to edit your current save to allow for Legend at any point in the game.

Note: you must have a source code editor such as Notepad++ to do this, download at:
https://notepad-plus-plus.org/downloads/v8.4.2/

First head to: https://github.com/GarnetSunset/rgg_save_tools/releases/tag/Judge
and click the blue .7z file under the assets tab

Now use winrar/7zip to open the file, the two files we need are:
je_decrypt.exe and je_encrypt.exe

Once you have both files, bring them to the folder that contains your most recent save, which should have the highest number after it (example: save31 for me).
You can find this at: C:\Users\[user]\AppData\Roaming\Sega\Judgment\Steam\87729270\save__
(To get to this folder follow the previous section of this guide up until you reach the folder 87729270.)


If you did everything right, your save file folder should look something like this:

Now that we have the encryption tools in our folder, we can drag our data.sav file onto the je_decrypt tool.
