Cal's route

It's not unplayable but you have to get some shit done for to make it alright.
>Well, it is possible to "save". The key is to rip the DVD to the local disc first. Then you use the ancient tool "ifoedit" to remove the all protections from the game. Once you have done that, you can save/restore by simply jumping to the Track/Chapter you were last in (or simply leave your DVD player program - most will store the position and restart exactly there when you open it again). Finally, some DVD player programs will allow you to save "Bookmarks" - they can also be used.
>So yes, while the game is a bit unwieldy in the original DVD version, it becomes much more easily playable after the adjustments I listed.
>Instead of giving a lengthy explanation, just download this file ( http://www.earth-alliance.org/zhentarim/Phantom.rar ) and unpack it in your ripped directory. It will overwrite two .ifo files, and in result, the DVD playback will be unprotected by then. You can immediately jump to other tracks and chapters (and so, use DVD player bookmarks to "save" freely anytime)

Play with Zoomplayer or Realplayer or whatever else you fancy.

Well I would love to see more Studio E-GO VNs translated, but I really doubt there will be any more, since the Studio itself is disbanded as far as I know, and no one really showed interest in translating the rest of their games.

Here's one of the other really underrated VNs, which is a great Nitro+ game called Phantom of Inferno (it has a great ongoing anime adaptation by the way). Hirameki adapted the non-H DVD version which is bulky and inconvenient, but by no means should be an excuse not to see at least one of the endings, since the story is awesome, and the graphics are really gorgeous. It's about a japanese young man, whom (due to his survival abilities) the maffia on the East Coast drugs him to be amnesiac, recruits him, and he gets trained to be a top-class assassin by a mysterious girl called Ein. The game focuses on various cars and guns, and as expected of a Nitroplus game, none of the characters are really cliche. It's fairly long, but it is worth the time, since the game was great, even though the DVD system is really disadvantageous.
(For those who are complaining that it doesn't work, I just made and posted yesterday a screenshot made on Zoomplayer, which doesn't have any trouble playing it correctly.)
As for how to obtain it? Believe it or not, the factory sealed version costs $2.49 on amazon.com now. Alternatively there should be ISOs on hongfire.

Phantom of Inferno is really awesome!
I have the version without H-scenes... damn!

Phantom of Inferno

So, is it worth getting?

Hey /jp/, I lurked on this one, I really did. But...
There are 3 versions of Phantom of Inferno, right?
1) old PC version with ero-scenes and no voices.
2) DVD version for DVD players. No ero-scenes but with voices
3) a remake of (2) by Hirameki

I think I have the Hirameki version. Do I play this?

Hey /jp recommend me a Visual Novel, preferably one i can burn a chunk of time on.

I've read:

Tsukihime + KT
what's done of F/SN
Ever 17
Planetarian
Phantom of Inferno

Get this OP.

What's the best DVD playing program to use when watching phantom of inferno on PC?

Seeing all these shitstorms about Tsukihime vs FSN recently made me wonder, what is overall the best VN available in english?
Pic may or may not be related.

I just spent a month downloading that complete Hirameki torrent so I could play Phantom of Inferno, but when I tried to run it it would crash whenever I got to a choice. I heard this version has a lot of problems with it, so I was wondering if the file in the batch torrent was corrupt, and if so if anyone knows a working torrent that I could use.

I really want to play this game, but after finally finding a working torrent, it seems the file didn't work.

Anyone seeding this anymore? I've been stuck on 22% all day.
