How to unlock Million Arthur even now

This guide will instruct you step by step how to acquire the Million Arthur DLC, even in its current state.

Introduction

As many of you may have noticed, there is a section in the DLC screen that remains stubbornly gray, no matter how many DLC you have purchased. Indeed, the Million Arthur DLC is no longer purchasable, all due to IF International not finding it worth the money to renew the license.

However, the data is still there, locked away behind DRM protection.

In this guide, you will be taught the key to unlocking it.

Requirements

Before we start, you will need CreamAPI, a program made to unlock locally stored DLC in Steam games. To my knowledge, you will not get banned for this. It can be acquired here[github.com]. Alternatively, you can get it by making an account at (https://cs.rin.ru/) (which is free) and downloading it from the release list (https://cs.rin.ru/forum/viewtopic.php?f=29&t=70576)

The Step-By-Step

1. Open up the CreamAPI files in one window and the Megadimension local game files (right click game, browse local files)
   
2. Rename the original steam_api.dll to steam_api_o.dll
   
3. Copy the steam_api.dll and cream_api.ini from the nonlog folder from the CreamAPI files over to your game files.
   
4. Open up the copied cream_api.ini, select all and copy in the following:
   
   [steam]
   ; Application ID (http://store.steampowered.com/app/%appid%/)
   appid = 460120
   ; Current game language.
   ; Uncomment this option to turn it on.
   ; Default is "english".
   ;language = german
   ; Enable/disable automatic DLC unlock. Default option is set to "false".
   ; Keep in mind that this option WON'T work properly if the "[dlc]" section is NOT empty
   unlockall = true
   ; Original Valve's steam_api.dll.
   ; Default is "steam_api_o.dll".
   orgapi = steam_api_o.dll
   ; Original Valve's steam_api64.dll.
   ; Default is "steam_api64_o.dll".
   orgapi64 = steam_api64_o.dll
   ; Enable/disable extra protection bypasser.
   ; Default is "false".
   extraprotection = false
   ; The game will think that you're offline (supported by some games).
   ; Default is "false".
   forceoffline = false
   ; Some games are checking for the low violence presence.
   ; Default is "false".
   ;lowviolence = true
   ; Purchase timestamp for the DLC (http://www.onlineconversion.com/unix_time.htm).
   ; Default is "0" (1970/01/01).
   ;purchasetimestamp = 1467917730
   
   [steam_misc]
   ; Disables the internal SteamUser interface handler.
   ; Does have an effect on the games that are using the license check for the DLC/application.
   ; Default is "false".
   disableuserinterface = false
   
   [dlc]
   ; DLC handling.
   ; Format: <dlc_id> = <dlc_description>
   ; e.g. : 247295 = Saints Row IV - GAT V Pack
   ; If the DLC is not specified in this section
   ; then it won't be unlocked
   
   
5. Save the file
   
6. Boot up the game, select what DLC you want to use and what to disable (this mod als unlocks all DLC, remember that your purchases support the developer of the game, and as such, I implore you to only use it to unlock Million Arthur. But what can I do, I'm a piece of text.)
   
7. Enjoy Million Arthur!

thank you so much for this wonderful guide on how to restore million arthur to being playable,
i just notice a game on steam has gone through the same terrible fate as this one,
the game is senran kagura estival versus a character is no longer playable because of the company didn't renew the license for the character, so i was wondering since you did an amazing job restoring million arthur to being playable, i was wondering if you would mind doing the same for senran kagura estival versus by restoing ayane to being playable just like you did for megadimension neptunia VII (if its not to much trouble that is)

Nevermind i did it thanks to some good bro on Reddit

just tried this now and had the same issue "original Steam_api.dll was not found". just make sure your original steam Api is spelt "steam_api_o.dll" the S being capped caused my issue with not being able to open the game

[Sgoc]

After veryfing files and trying again it worked. Thanks

[Demos Mirak]

App ID should be460120, did copy the text correctly and/or rename the files correctly?

[Sgoc]

It says that "app id can't be 0" and the game doesn't open
