/jp/ - Otaku Culture

Ok, I have to ask, this game DOES have a happy ending, right? RIGHT? Because I just started going throug the other games suggested by you guys that would be similar to this one. Games that are more about love than sex, have good stories, and involve loli. And I was shocked to learn that the only translated one in the list, Wanko to Kurasou, is very sad. Apparently, there is even one of the girl who DIES in the game! Now I just... I just can't play it.

So please, tell me, this game is happy right?

In an effort to help the translation, I will post here some the info and files I think are important, at least to get started, for easy access to those working on this translation project, and anyone who would like to help.

Hatsukoi is rated among the best of the incest games. From the original poster: "It's what I believe would happen if two siblings really did fall in love." You can download it here:

We are working on decompressing the actual files, which can be found here (I think):

Some really smart person also found a way to get the Japanese text from the memory dump. It might not be the cleanest way to do it, but it seems we now have the entire Japanese texts from the game! It can all be found here:

Now these files are admittedly pretty hard to read as is. It was mentioned that by using a hex editor, we can search and replace 00 with 0D0A or 0x00 with 0x0D 0x0A or something like that, to increase legibility, like these 2 parts here:

I'm not sure how to do this exactly, but it would certainly help the translator to know, as for now they are pretty hard to read.
