An honest plea

[Anonymous No.]

Ok /jp/, here's the deal.

I'm interested in playing a VN, but have absolutely NO idea how to with all these patches and other terms which are like moonspeak to me. I tried to, I really did try to set several up for myself, but I failed miserably each and every time. No, today I will learn, and I ask of your honorable anon guidance.

Pic very, very much related.

What do I get out of this deal?

[Anonymous No.]

Why hasn't someone made a howtoinstallvisualnovels.jpg yet?

[Anonymous No.]

Nothing except feel like the bigger anon by helping an ignorant one in the ways of VN.

That would be amazing if someone by chance has.

[Anonymous No.]

Is he talking about using applocale? Or can he just not install a game?

[Anonymous No.]

>>3119542
Just get out.
Learn to google. Idiots dont deserve to play VN.

Installing, I've managed to install them. It's probably the former. i don't even know what that means

Because you are expected to be smart enough to install it by yourself in order to truly enjoy playing VN's

Forgot to add
-Google applocale (you can download it off /rs/)
-Google daemon tools
-Google witch hunt umineko (download patch then read the readme.txt)

Have fun on your way out.

You'll end up missing a quarter of the BGMs that way.

You extract, go into the english folder and run onscripter.exe

some work and time but backup or other way to install

Grab the patch from witch-hunt.com.

Set your computer to Japanese locale (Google if you don't know how, there's an animesuki thread if you need it) and install the file from the torrent with Daemon Tools. Unzip the patch into your Umineko folder. If you're using XP, run on-scripter.exe and you're good to go. If you're on Vista, you have to run on-scripter.exe with AppLocale. Download that from the Microsoft website.

Worked fine for me, you must have vistaids or something.

[insanezero !VUNofZD8jM No.]

>>3119608
I would never let Vista touch my computer.

I use XP like any normal person.

[None !..3NackuV6 No.]

It works fine for me.

That's true, I had that problem. OP should take note: do NOT use applocale. Instead, go to your Regional & Language Options in the Control Panel and set the "Language for non-Unicode programs" to Japanese.

What? You guys are still using the ancient XP? It is time to switch to win7.

[Anonymous No.]

>>3119620
Actually, install the game after you've changed your computer's locale to Jap; then just use the witchhunt.exe for EP4, which works fine without having to go through applocale.

[Anonymous No.]

>>3119648

That's what I said in >>3119581, are you guys reading right to left now or something? I would never recommend using applocale, it sucks.

[Anonymous No.]

>>3119648
If that works, sure. OP probably wouldn't have anything to lose by setting his computer to Japanese anyway, though.

Win 7 BSODs whenever I try to download something larger than a GB.

XP is the most stable system Microsoft has put out in close to a decade. Go figure.

I been using win7 for a few months.
Everything seem to be working fine. If there is any compatibility issue running some doujin games in windows mode, you just need to get a D3DWindower and it is done. Sure XP is stable but it is time to get some new eyecandy.
