system locale

Anyone know how to make this work? ;_;

Obviously, the problem is all those boxes in place of folder names.

Stop asking stupid questions.

put your computer in japanese locale.

Is that the character thing? I know I have to download unicode or some shit , I just can't figure out what the rest of this stuff is.

Learn how to read boxes.

You need to install Windows XP in japanese , look for a torrent i'm sure you can find one.

Looks like the FBI have backtraced it with their norton bypasser hack. You're fucked.

>>7362281
Oh my sweet jesus you are utter fail.

Control Panel > Region & Language > Administrative > Unicode Settings

Set to Japanese, reboot.

Won't that put everything in Japanese though?

Stop using XP.

Why are you trying to play Gore Screaming Show if you can't read Japanese?

Using this shitty thread to my advantage, I guess.

When I unrar Japanese songs sometimes, the tags either turn into question marks or mojibake. My computer locale is set on Japanese, to the point where I have my time and date displaying in Japanese. I run every Japanese program just fine. I try even running Winrar or 7zip with applocale to make extra sure, but it still happens sometimes,

Any clues, guys? At first I thought it was just shitty uploaders putting shitty tags up, but there's way too many times I encounter this problem for it to be a problem with uploaders.

You will prompted to insert the Windows CD-ROM or point to a network location where the files are located.

Anyways, 99% of the time you don't need to change your locale to Japanese. See, those folder names are full of boxes, but their full japanese path names are still there, so the game knows where its files are. Explorer doesn't want to display the text, but it's not like it fucked the text up and turned it all into the same box character.

Google search for AppLocale. It's a small program (made by microsoft, so no worries about viruses) that allows you to run select programs under different locales, without having to change your whole system to jap modo. Just make sure you've got the Jap language pack installed, and it should work fine:
1. open applocale
2. find the game's executable
3. set it to use japanese, if it doesn't autodetect that it's a jap program. if you can't tell japanese apart from chinese, it's at the bottom of the list.
4. you know have a shortcut that loads your game in japanese modo when you open it. Success!

It won't turn your files into moon...and you can switch back at any moment.

>>7362362
Changing locale doesn't even change everything to Japanese anyways. It just changes your backslashes to yen signs.

>>7362397
I thought it changed explorer and mspaint and the like to their japanese-named equivalents, while adding an option for shift-jis encoding to notepad etc, but I've never done it, so I could be wrong.

You should have your PC confiscated. You clearly don't deserve it for not being able to google your problem in 5 seconds, or spending the 30 seconds it would take to test what was said by changing locale and rebooting your PC.

>>7362410
No. There are other settings that can set some programs to default to Japanese and change your date/time format to Japanese and such, but that's separate from just changing the locale.

What? I'm the guy telling OP to use AppLocale. See, even my captcha understood that.

>>7362488
Stop telling people to use applocale. It doesn't work with all games and when it doesn't work they always come to /jp/ for tech support.

I have the same problems as the OP. I have AppLocal installed, but it still requires the japanese language packs to be used. And switching my locale did exactly nothing.

You guys are fucking stupid.

OP here , I tried to run what appeared to be the game,but it failed because it said it needed ogg.dll ?

Thoughts on the problem?

You're wasting valuable oxygen, water, calcium, carbon, etc.

Use superior software like 7z instead of shit like winzip.

>>7362695
not that guy, but I use that shit and sometimes it still fucks it up. anything else I might be overlooking?

>>7362695
>I try even running Winrar or 7zip with applocale

>>7362791
If it still fucked it means that the tag/filename is done in chinese.
Chinese locale, do you know it?
