The best way to cook delicious meals:
1. Believe in yourself.
2. Weigh the rice.
3. Each and every grain of rice contains a precious life.
4. With those innumerable lives, people can keep living.
5. But every life will eventually return to the earth.
6. The Earth is Life, just as Life is the Earth.
7. In order to someday bring about new life
8. Long Sci-fi novel “Gaia’s Journey” – Fin
9. Polish the rice and wash it for twenty minutes.
10. The summertime makes me want to eat some incredibly spicy curry.
11. Cook.
12. Stare long and hard at the fire, letting dangerous thoughts soak into your body OR remembering comrades-in-arms who gave their lives to protect you (Two choices)
13. Once cooked, steam upside down for ten minutes.
14. Super delicious rice is born.

Just has some really crazy chapters and can get a bit too lost in itself.

Still better than most VNs though

Detestable villains such as myself are necessary to urge those who reach toward the sun, such as Mitsuhiro, into action. Life is a series of vicissitudes. And, regardless of how much good, or evil, there is in the world, the sun will continue to rise from the east.

This one is better:

This is the simple way to make potato butter:

Light a fire.
Dance.
Heat some stones.
Give each potato a name.
Throw stones at the foil wrapped potatoes while feeling brokenhearted (this increases the flavor).
Wait.
Cry.
Wait.
Wipe your tears.
Overcome your sadness and grow as a person.
Wait.
Stop waiting.
Stop your stomach bug.
Take the potatoes out and move them onto a plate.
Butter......in lieu of that, add salt.
Sweep away trivial questions like, 'Wasn't this supposed to be potato butter?'
Eat.

God it's been a while I hated a protagonist so much as him. The brocharacter should have been the protag instead.

ごめんね、これだけしか残してあげられなくて

One of the best scenes in CC and pretty much the only VN quote that's really stuck with me even years after reading it.

n nnn nnaaah kimochiiii

"Don't fake the funk on a nasty dunk"

その目、だれの目

>>6391993
>>6392026

Not everyone here can read Japanese, guys.

>>6392031
You should at least recognize その目、だれの目 because it was shown in own screen in Japanese.

>>6391960
Really? Why?

He was completely standard mid tier in my eyes. Nothing particularily great in him, but nothing eyecatchingly bad about him either.

>>6392031
You should at least recognize その目、だれの目 because it was shown onscreen in Japanese.

>>6392031
But I don't know the line in English, and it wouldn't sound as good. Just ignore it if you can't read it.

>>6392031
その目、だれの目
this is from Chaos,Head, it's simple
source of the other japanese quote please

>>6392041

D'oh. Right, it's that line.

Yeah, source on the other one?

>>6392055
hint: CC doesn't refer to Comic Cafe

>>6392055
It says the source in the fuckin post you retard.

>>6392036
Many issues I had with him too (with the entire game to be exact), but it's the way he interacted in the conversations was one of those things why I hated him as the protag:
>Character X says 10 lines
>Ren thinks for 3 lines in narration
>Character X says another 8 lines
>Ren asks a question or says "......."
>Character X says another 6 lines
For fucks sake, is it too much to ask for a protagonist who actually makes the conversations feel alive? Shiro, the brocharacter would have at least interjected sometimes. Not like I was fond of him much either though.

>>6392064
>>6392066

The only "CC" I know is Cross+Channel, which is in English already.

Forgive me for my massive stupidity at not wanting to waste time learning a language I'll never use.

As story-focused as Torment is, I don't think it counts as a VN.

>>6392146

Fuck, even remembering that line gives me an orgasm.

Sumaga has no many great quotes that I could make a thread just to post them all. But if I had to choose one, this wins hands fucking down.

I'm also very fond of "We don't need a happy end".

I thought that didn't happen until later.

>>6392199
Oki isn't in that image.

>>6392207
Touché.

>>6392179
Have you finished the game? Are all the H-scenes as terrible as the first one? I'm on Spica's route right now and got her first scene and was seriously disappointed. Fuckin mountainous vulva and huge slabs of thigh, and then Ozaki's invisible monstercock. I had to skip through the damn scene to get the picture off the screen. I'm a loli lover, but usually I can fap to normal girls. I could not fap to Spica, even though she looked alright in normal CGs. Everything became so damn exaggerated the second she took her clothes off.

>>6392207
Besides, how on earth could Oki have the best tits? She doesn't have any in the first place.

>>6392225
Second one is bit better if I remember right. Or it might not be, I read what I could so long ago.

ごめんね

>>6392225
Spica's first ero scene is my favorite ero scene in the whole game...

>>6392275

>>6392225
Nah, had to stop on Garnet's due to incomplete translation. Been learning japanese just to finish it in a distant future, though. And yeah, the second one is kind of better, but if you didn't like the first one, give up. Garnet's is going to be even worse for you, though.

>>6392279
THE FUCK IS WRONG WITH YOU. I UNDERSTAND PUFFY VULVAS ARE SUPPOSED TO INDICATE SEXUAL AROUSAL OR WHATEVER, BUT IT SHOULDN'T LOOK LIKE YOU PUT A FUCKIN HONEY BUN IN THE MICROWAVE ON HIGH UNTIL IT PUFFED UP AND WAS READY TO FUCKIN EXPLODE. THERE'S A DIFFERENCE BETWEEN PUFFY AND RADIOACTIVE. HER VULVA WAS WIDER THAN ONE OF HER FUCKIN THIGHS, AND TWICE AS LONG. THIS IS NOT FUCKIN NORMAL. FUCKIN ET VAG DOES NOT APPEAL TO ME, MAN.

>>6392296
Why would I give up on a game just because the ero doesn't appeal to me? I mean, hell, I played through Tsukihime. Besides, there's always Mira and Oki to look forward to.

>>6392346
That is my fetish.

I mean give up on Spica's h-scenes. They are all on that fashion you described. Also,
>there's always Mira and Oki to look forward to.

Sure, if you can read moonspeak.

>>6392296
hey, is there a sumaga's partial patch?
igf yes where can i find the download?
thanks

>>6392352
Mira's H-scenes are terrible. Her voice is normally cute as hell, but her sex scene voice forces your finger automatically to ctrl.

>>6392367
I wasn't even aware Spica's route was translated until I read this thread, honestly.

>>6392389
There was.
But now, you'll have to wait forever to support JAST etc.
I'm too lazy to go get the link from my mediafire folder right now.

Some other shit you will need to run the game:
http://www.megaupload.com/?d=0J8BEW4W

Install the fonts first.
Patch the game.
Use the NoDVD exe.
Move nss.npa from your main folder.
Update the Spica patch with the files from Garnet's, and then move the nss folder to the main one.
After that use Applocale and it will probably run.

Shit that went wrong when I tried to install the game:
>Games closes when you try to open it using Applocale.
You installed the game using a path with foreign characters. Move it to a folder with western characters only, it will work.
>No text displayed, moves in skip move.
Either you installed the fonts wrong, or you need to set your Locale to Japanese and reboot.

>>6392390
I've also heard the same is true for Kusakabe, but her sample voices on the site didn't sound that bad. True or not?

It's pretty good until halfway through her scenes when she starts that weird screaming/grunting hybrid thing.

Anyone in here know what Sumaga Special is? It has a different score on EGS, so I don't think it's just a rerelease. Fandisk?

>>6392449
Yes, it's a fandisc.

>>6392449
Yeah it's a fandisk, with two new heroines (Deneb and whatsherface).
I don't know the details on the story since I haven't played either.

You will never play the english version of Sumaga.

>>6392519
Look at the site again, they removed the "support JAST's official translation" thing.

>>6392522
it's because they are assdevastated by the Demonbane deal, since it's Nitro+ fault but they keep getting all the blame.

>>6392707
Fucking bitch, if Al Fine wasn't my second favourite route in the whole game, I'd hate her even more.

>>6392721
Don't be fucking stupid. You dislike the power of LOVE? That's the best thing about her route, feeling guilty and ashamed while she can't stop because her feelings are too much.

>>6392707

At least Key didn't make this game, people would want to fucking kill themselves.

>>6392734
reason I hated her, she was a woman by the book, a completely manipulative bitch.
I preferred Fal's subtle but constant manipulation.

>>6392768
This game was more depressing for me than any of the Key VN's so far.

>>6392771
She simply loves Chris too much. I think it's a pretty nice route considering it's probably what most people would do in such situation (not the EXACT same thing, obviously, what I mean is people using the opportunity to finally maybe reach their love, even with the unmerciful truth crushing your mind)

That final scene where they are playing for Ari made me cry so fucking much.

>>6392775

A lot of it felt bittersweet, Key does that too, but they throw in a big fuck you every once in awhile, and leave you with only despair.

Still found it better than most if not all Key VNs though.

So I had planned on just reading it (Sumaga) in Japanese (and in fact already started to), but English is preferable since it's easier for me that way, even if it's only partway, but I have no idea how to use the nss folder in there. When I installed sumaga the nss file was already packed as nss.npa so how exactly are these files meant to be used? It could just be me having a retard moment, but I'm not getting it.

Create a folder named "nss" and extract those files inside this folder.

The only quote that had really glue'd itself to me is "we're going to have a party" which is sang by a happily dancing slasher killer in the movie tourist trap.

One day I'll say it like the killer does and someone will get the reference ONE DAY ;_;

>>6399601
Tried that once without moving the nss.npa from the main directory and it was still in Japanese (no suprise really)

Then I tried moving the nss.npa, as instructed, out of the sumaga folder, however now when the game tries to display text it just crashes since it presumably has no idea where to get the text data from.

>>6399412
I hate you so much.

>>6399627
In case it matters, the directory its installed in is
C:\Program Files (x86)\Nitroplus\スマガ

I've tried moving nss.npa one folder up, moving it into the nss folder (which is in the same directory as the .npa files), as well as deleting it entirely to no avail.

There's not much this VN actually left me with, but this one actually kind of stuck.

>>6399657
Got your back.

First of all, go to
>C:\Program Files (x86)\Nitroplus\
And create a folder called "sumaga". After that, take all the contents from "スマガ", and move them to "sumaga". Remember, you have to be running the whole system under a japanese locale.

Second, you don't have to move the "nss.npa" file. Download:
http://www.megaupload.com/?d=YLB1RVCL
http://www.megaupload.com/?d=M9OOEK9K

Get all these files and mix them in a single folder, called "nss". Put this folder inside "Nitroplus/sumaga". After that, take "nss.npa" from this folder, but I wouldn't recommend deleting this file, just move it one folder up. Hopefully it'll run after this.

>>6400535
Thanks for the help, I'll try that when I get home later

>>6400716
If you have win7/vista x64, it won't work.

>>6400741
I don't see why a manual patch, like this one, for the game wouldn't work when the game itself does.

Your parents still love you and want you to succeed in life.

>>6392146
I came. ;_;

>>6401038
I don't know either, but after 4 hours yesterday doesn't work.

>>6401054
Never heard that one before.

With all my love, to this fucking world.

This one had the most impact

>>6400716
Ok, so I just got home a bit ago and tried what >>6400535 said it it didn't work.

Then >>6400741 says it doesn't work on 64-bit, which makes no sense considering the game itself works, so I did a little testing. Thanks to nagato being awesome and decrypting the npa files and making his npa extractor/creator I was able to take the default nss.npa, extract it, re-create a new nss.npa, and then replace the old original nss.npa with the new one. As expected, it works perfectly fine.

Then I tried creating a nss.npa file with from the MU links I got before (both with the .svn subfolder and without just for good measure) both of which do not work. I then compared the number of files in each, and noticed that there are two extra files for some unknown reason. I tried removing those, but that does not fix the problem either.

So then figure it might just not be possible like >>6400741 said and I tested this by trying to just do it on my own. I copy-pasted a few translated lines into the corresponding nss files I extracted myself and then made a new nss.npa with the translated lines and replaced the default nss.npa with my new partially translated one. Lo and behold, it works perfectly (pic). So basically, something is fucked with the files they made that causes them to not work. I'm gonna try and make a script that can do all the copy-pasting, if I can't get it work oh well guess I'm reading it all in Japanese. It won't be too much more of a pain I guess. No more than trying to get this shit to work anyway.

>>6401429
if you can, it'd be awesome

"I just had a dream... But I forgot what that dream was about."

>>6401479
I feel my translation in >>6401429 is more accurate, as we all know 夢 means npa file.

>>6401473
Regarding that, if someone else wants to take a crack and making a script for it let me know. I'll give them the original nss.npa file to work with. Also, not ALL the files are broken, I test the first few and they worked fine. Unfortunately there are 838 of them so if I try doing things this way it'll probably take forever.

Alternatively, if someone wants to do some grunt copy-paste work let me know. I know that's my favorite thing to do in my free time.

>>6392166

It's actually "Let love bleed, darker and deeper than the seas of Hell." It's always stuck with me too.

"Lay one finger on my daughter, and I'll show you just how lukewarm the hell you came from is."

>>6401518
Ok so yeah, I noticed that some dumbass changed one of the boot files to some stupid xml bullshit which was causing the game to boot the text incorrectly. I then noticed they dicked with the font settings too. So basically, the actual text files were fine and it was just the config/meta stuff that was broken. I fixed those up and made a new nss.npa with that as it works perfectly.

Anyone interested can get it here: http://www.megaupload.com/?d=OXJCIDHO
or here: http://www.mediafire.com/?jfiik2ltjo38j2a

I'll check the thread every now and then if anyone needs help or something with this, but it's pretty straightforward.

>>6392402
>>6400535
Glad you solved the problem man, one hell of a job, congratulations. Do you mind if I update the pasta with your file?

>>6401713
Go nuts, it'd be a waste if I fixed it and nobody besides me ever got to use it.

>>6401777
Alright, let's see if this pasta is cooked enough:

☆Update the game to version 1.01a/b/c.
★Move the NoDVD patch to the スマガ (aka ƒXƒ}ƒK) folder and overwrite it. Making a backup of the original one always recommended.
☆Overwrite the nss.npa file inside the main folder with the one you downloaded.
★Create a folder named "sumaga" at your Nitroplus folder.
☆Select all files from your "スマガ" (aka ƒXƒ}ƒK) folder, and move them to "sumaga".
★Set your locale to Japanese, using AppLocale might not be enough.

>nss folder
●http://www.megaupload.com/?d=OXJCIDHO
>or ●http://www.mediafire.com/?jfiik2ltjo38j2a

It's a rar that has the nss.npa file, no nss folder is included (or needed for that matter).

>★Create a folder named "sumaga" at your Nitroplus folder.
>☆Select all files from your "スマガ" (aka ƒXƒ}ƒK) folder, and move them to "sumaga".
You don't need to do either of these, you can do everything wherever you install it.

>>★Install the game at: (drive):/Program Files/Nitroplus/スマガ (aka ƒXƒ}ƒK]
As for WHERE you install it, I recommend leaving it at whatever it defaults to as I read some people had trouble when trying to install to different locations.

So basically you need to:
1. Download the .iso from the torrent
2. Install game
3. Download the "extra stuff" (fonts, 1.01a patch, NoDVD Patch)
3. Install Fonts, Run the update patch
4. Copy-paste the NoDVD smg.exe to where the original smg.exe is and overwrite it (it = the original one)
5. Download the rar which has nss.npa file I made and a README for it
6. Copy-paste it to the same place as you did with the NoDVD smg.exe and overwrite the original nss.npa
7. Change to Japanese local if you haven't before/yet.
8. AERIAL SHUUUUUTO

**Obviously the downloading can be done before everything else if you want.

>>6401922
In step 6, "it" refers to the nss.npa file inside the .rar archive. Copy-pasting the .rar won't do anything and you won't get the option to overwrite anything. I figure it's pretty clear, but the more idiot-proof the better.

>>6401922
Actually, I could only run the game after changing it to a path without foreign characters. True story.

Anyway, updated the pasta, thanks a bunch Anon.

That is the end of this war. That is the responsibility I took when I swore to be a superhero. It is the first price I have to pay to become my ideal. There's no need to talk about the obvious outcome. Emiya Shirou will turn his mind to steel, and become a superhero.

>>6401987
I suppose that makes sense, I've had weird stuff like that happen to me before.

>>6402046
Dude, trust me, if you think you had it bad trying to run Sumaga, just let me tell you that it took me no less than 10 hours or so skimming through threads, Google search, easymodo lurking, everything I could do. I got so stressed and pissed and I somehow got a cold, but even that didn't stopped me. I even got to the points of having fucking nightmares with this game, literally goddamn nightmares. At least it was kind of worth it.

>>6401812
you are the fucking best
after have creating the new directory can i delete the old one?

>>6402161
I wouldn't recommend it. But as >>6401922 stated, that might not even be necessary. Also I just compiled the past, not the nss.npa.

>>6402174
then thanks to the kind anon who made the nss.file and to you as well

>>6402187
No problems. By the way, did the game work?

Stand back, mortals. I am not here to fight you.

>>6402228
i'm not reading it since it's late but i ctrl for a while and it was all in english, no errors or other shits so far.
anyway if i find an error i will report it.
thank you very much.
btw which one is the best route in the game? spica's?

>>6402252
True.
Then spica.

>>6402252
Oh man, that's great to know. I can't say since I only played up to where the game's which is roughly 10 hours of reading. But Spica's route was very sad and depressing, the moment Ai no Kotoba kicks in will definitely make your throat tight.

>>6402161
I never tried doing that when I was experimenting trying to figure out how to make it all work, but given the sheer amount of hoops people have had to jump through to get this game to work, I'd say just leave it.

Also just to be clear, you shouldn't need to duplicate the directory at all. At most you should only need to change it so that it contains only Enligsh characters (ie. rename スマガ　to sumaga) if the game is refusing to run after installing the fonts, applying the update, and the NoDVD Patch.

>>6402187
You're welcome, though I was only able to do what I did thanks to nagato's (a hacker for amaterasu) npa decryption/encryption program so thank him too if you ever see him.

All of these kinda need context to be as effective they were, but these were memorable for me atleast, also forgive my bad TL quality:

"It doesn't matter even if you multiply zero thousand times. It will still remain zero"

"That word... Word that becomes the key... that is BALDR SKY "

"Let's have a dream. A long long dream, warm dear dream, a dream of love"

well this one is small exchange and quite spoilerish even without context, so spoiler tagging it. spoiler from end parts of baldr sky.
-"It's not that I hate you, I envy you. When I see you who are just like me of past which I have lost."
