Hey /jp/
I'm thinking of picking up Windows 7. Before I do so, though, I'd like to know whether or not it supports japanese games.

I mean, with XP you have to enable japanese language support and non-unicode support, or use AppLocale. IIRC you didn't have those options in Vista.

So, before I commit to swapping XP for another OS (Can't be a cave-dwelling monkey forever) I'd like a heads up.

I've not had a problem with it.

>> No.3608588

I've had no problems with any of my VNs on Windows 7 x64. I do use Japanese locale at all times, of course.

>> No.3608590

You can use AppLocale in Vista, just need to turn off User Account Control and download the XP version.

>> No.3608591

No, the OS is only for America.

>> No.3608593

You get XP modo on 7 anyways, which solves any problem that could pop up.

>> No.3608594

you recall incorrectly, non unicode support works for Vista as well.
So wait, if I upgrade from Vista to 7 will I need to search for drivers and shit or will the boot from dvd take care of everything?

Vista drivers work for 7, although there are some (like video) that have 7 builds that may work better.

>> No.3608611

I've been using Applocale in Win7 for ages, like a 6 months or more...

Who told you that bullshit?
Everything works just fine in Vista. Though I imagine Win7 will be even better with the VM-based compatibility mode.

>> No.3608634

Also note than XP compatibility mode only comes with Professional or Ultimate.

>> No.3608638

>>3608634
Which is bullshit.

>> No.3608677

Windows 7 x64 with japanese locale works perfectly with everything I've tried, except Symphonic Rain which has some retarded compatibility issues so I had to execute the installer with Windows 95 compatibility mode. Yeah, don't ask me why but it seems that it happens to some people.

>> No.3608704

Windows 7 has the option of running an XP simulator that is essentially identical to XP so there shouldn't be an issue (unlike Vista).

>> No.3608711

Man, those swords are fucking huge.

I've gotten all of my Touhou games to work, though I had to change the compatibility options a bit for some of them. I don't use AppLocale, but I changed the non-unicode language to Japanese. Works fine.

>>3608594
It depends on your hardware. All of my drivers were installed just by running Windows Update, but YMMV.
