After I missed the only trigger to start the social link for Yuko in Persona 3 FES I found a cheat to start the social link nonetheless:
// Press L1+L2 to set social link rank with Yuko to 3
patch=1,EE,D07E0842,extended,0000FAFF
patch=1,EE,00836280,extended,00000003
The problem is that the passed days somehow influence how soon a social link progresses and if too many days have passed, the social link reverses.
If you start the social link in the last third of the game like I did too many days have amassed and you can't realistically even get the social link started, so I searched for the flag that sets whether a social link is reversed or broken with Cheatengine.
It's located at 2083A344 and in the 4 bytes starting there the flag is set for each character, so I could undo the reversing with this patch:
// Press L1+L2 to fix reversed s. links
patch=1,EE,D07E0842,extended,0000FAFF
patch=1,EE,2083A33c,extended,00000000
The breaking flags have higher priority than reversing flags and are located at 2083A33C and are 4 bytes long as well:
// Press R1+R2 to fix broken social links
patch=1,EE,D07E0842,extended,0000F5FF
patch=1,EE,2083A344,extended,00000000
This only works for one day though as with each passing day the flag is set again.
If you spend time with Yuko after applying the patch she won't reverse anymore and you can disable the cheat.
