update options

## Link to GitHub Issue or related Pull Request, if one exists
Fixes #154

## Description of change
Patch the game to skip over special holo printing logic and redirect to
the normal printer, resolving the soft lock + printer failure.

## Testing
Tested `NCG-2019012900`. Other versions might not work though since this
is patch-based not hook-based.

+// dear imgui: Renderer Backend for DirectX11
+// This needs to be used along with a Platform Backend (e.g. Win32)
+
+// Implemented features:
+//  [X] Renderer: User texture binding. Use 'ID3D11ShaderResourceView*' as texture identifier. Read the FAQ about ImTextureID/ImTextureRef!
+//  [X] Renderer: Large meshes support (64k+ vertices) even with 16-bit indices (ImGuiBackendFlags_RendererHasVtxOffset).
+//  [X] Renderer: Texture updates support for dynamic font atlas (ImGuiBackendFlags_RendererHasTextures).
+//  [X] Renderer: Expose selected render state for draw callbacks to use. Access in '(ImGui_ImplXXXX_RenderState*)GetPlatformIO().Renderer_RenderState'.
+
+// You can use unmodified imgui_impl_* files in your project. See examples/ folder for examples of using this.
+// Prefer including the entire imgui/ repository into your project (either as a copy or as a submodule), and only build the backends you need.
+// Learn about Dear ImGui:
+// - FAQ                  https://dearimgui.com/faq
+// - Getting Started      https://dearimgui.com/getting-started
+// - Documentation        https://dearimgui.com/docs (same as your local docs/ folder).

+
+// CHANGELOG
+// (minor and older changes stripped away, please see git history for details)
+//  2026-01-19: DirectX11: Added 'SamplerNearest' in ImGui_ImplDX11_RenderState. Renamed 'SamplerDefault' to 'SamplerLinear'.
+//  2025-09-18: Call platform_io.ClearRendererHandlers() on shutdown.
+//  2025-06-11: DirectX11: Added support for ImGuiBackendFlags_RendererHasTextures, for dynamic font atlas.
+//  2025-05-07: DirectX11: Honor draw_data->FramebufferScale to allow for custom backends and experiment using it (consistently with other renderer backends, even though in normal condition it is not set under Windows).
+//  2025-01-06: DirectX11: Expose VertexConstantBuffer in ImGui_ImplDX11_RenderState. Reset projection matrix in ImDrawCallback_ResetRenderState handler.
+//  2024-10-07: DirectX11: Changed default texture sampler to Clamp instead of Repeat/Wrap.
+//  2024-10-07: DirectX11: Expose selected render state in ImGui_ImplDX11_RenderState, which you can access in 'void* platform_io.Renderer_RenderState' during draw callbacks.
+//  2022-10-11: Using 'nullptr' instead of 'NULL' as per our switch to C++11.
+//  2021-06-29: Reorganized backend to pull data from a single structure to facilitate usage with multiple-contexts (all g_XXXX access changed to bd->XXXX).
+//  2021-05-19: DirectX11: Replaced direct access to ImDrawCmd::TextureId with a call to ImDrawCmd::GetTexID(). (will become a requirement)
+//  2021-02-18: DirectX11: Change blending equation to preserve alpha in output buffer.
+//  2019-08-01: DirectX11: Fixed code querying the Geometry Shader state (would generally error with Debug layer enabled).
+//  2019-07-21: DirectX11: Backup, clear and restore Geometry Shader is any is bound when calling ImGui_ImplDX11_RenderDrawData. Clearing Hull/Domain/Compute shaders without backup/restore.
+//  2019-05-29: DirectX11: Added support for large mesh (64K+ vertices), enable ImGuiBackendFlags_RendererHasVtxOffset flag.
+//  2019-04-30: DirectX11: Added support for special ImDrawCallback_ResetRenderState callback to reset render state.
+//  2018-12-03: Misc: Added #pragma comment statement to automatically link with d3dcompiler.lib when using D3DCompile().
+//  2018-11-30: Misc: Setting up io.BackendRendererName so it can be displayed in the About Window.
+//  2018-08-01: DirectX11: Querying for IDXGIFactory instead of IDXGIFactory1 to increase compatibility.
+//  2018-07-13: DirectX11: Fixed unreleased resources in Init and Shutdown functions.
+//  2018-06-08: Misc: Extracted imgui_impl_dx11.cpp/.h away from the old combined DX11+Win32 example.
+//  2018-06-08: DirectX11: Use draw_data->DisplayPos and draw_data->DisplaySize to setup projection matrix and clipping rectangle.
+//  2018-02-16: Misc: Obsoleted the io.RenderDrawListsFn callback and exposed ImGui_ImplDX11_RenderDrawData() in the .h file so you can call it yourself.
+//  2018-02-06: Misc: Removed call to ImGui::Shutdown() which is not available from 1.60 WIP, user needs to call CreateContext/DestroyContext themselves.
+//  2016-05-07: DirectX11: Disabling depth-write.

+// dear imgui: Renderer Backend for DirectX11
+// This needs to be used along with a Platform Backend (e.g. Win32)
+
+// Implemented features:
+//  [X] Renderer: User texture binding. Use 'ID3D11ShaderResourceView*' as texture identifier. Read the FAQ about ImTextureID/ImTextureRef!
+//  [X] Renderer: Large meshes support (64k+ vertices) even with 16-bit indices (ImGuiBackendFlags_RendererHasVtxOffset).
+//  [X] Renderer: Texture updates support for dynamic font atlas (ImGuiBackendFlags_RendererHasTextures).
+//  [X] Renderer: Expose selected render state for draw callbacks to use. Access in '(ImGui_ImplXXXX_RenderState*)GetPlatformIO().Renderer_RenderState'.
+
+// You can use unmodified imgui_impl_* files in your project. See examples/ folder for examples of using this.
+// Prefer including the entire imgui/ repository into your project (either as a copy or as a submodule), and only build the backends you need.
+// Learn about Dear ImGui:
+// - FAQ                  https://dearimgui.com/faq
+// - Getting Started      https://dearimgui.com/getting-started
+// - Documentation        https://dearimgui.com/docs (same as your local docs/ folder).
