Finally!
The solution to all your Japanese fangames troubles are in this very thread! Links provided.
Implying you read it carefully and do stuff consequtively. Otherwise, it's your problem.
Still post here if something doesn't work.

There we go:

1) Make sure you have Japanese language installed on your system - what the hell are you doing in /fg/ without that anyway?..
In case you're still here w/out it:
http://www.microsoft.com/download/en/details.aspx?displaylang=EN&id=8289
But you most probably have it already.

2) Install Applocale - it works both for XP and Win7.
http://alcahest.perso.sfr.fr/perso/apploc/applocale.html
There is also a patch and some register keys on the same page, install'em all. Well, when you read that page, it's all pretty obvious.

3) Install Japanese RTP with Applocale - if you've installed all the stuff for AppLoc from the step above, you have to just right-click the RTP installer and click "Locale Japanese". DO NOT LAUNCH IT WITHOUT APPLOCALE.
http://www.famitsu.com/freegame/rtp/2000_rtp.html

4) Install 7-Zip
http://www.7-zip.org/download.html
This is critical to success! WinRar won't do, it messes up Japanese chars regardless of locale. Most of the time.

5) Run 7-Zip with Applocale - right-click on 7zFM.exe, choose "Locale Japanese". YOU HAVE TO MAKE IT JAPANESE LOCALED EVERY TIME YOU LAUNCH 7-ZIP!

See second post for further instructions.

No.230

6) Unpack your fangame with your Applocaled 7-Zip.
You might also need to rename your fangame folder to some English or numeric name if your fangame folder name is in Japanese/scrambled symbols. And for God's sake, make the path to your fangame short, e.g. D:/fg/flow

7) In case there's no executable file in the freshly unpacked fangame folder, download RPG_RT.exe
http://www.mediafire.com/?mmk32nn2jtm) and put it into fangame directory


9) Run RPG_RT.exe with Applocale

9a) If you still got shit and errors, go to CharSet folder inside your fangame folder, copy and paste ANY .png you find there and rename the copy into 乗り物.

>>1514 (from the locked helpthread)

Thing is is that nobody has ever said that. I've checked all the threads on this board as well as the help threads on the old board. It's either an answer to that certain picture solution or a "fuck you go find it yourself" which doesn't help anything. Whereas you actually provided an answer. I don't read Japanese and the pop-up box doesn't allow me to copy its text for translation. I didn't know those characters had to do with a name error. I'd just figured they had to do with that missing vehicle file because it always seemed that way.

Anyway my error was posted before this was stickied so I'll be re-posting it. I take it something is corrupted? What am I suppose to do?

This is with Sickmind. I already have the vehicle files in there (both English and Japanese) and made sure to unzip with 7-zip.

There is a folder called monster in the sickmind folder. It has a thumbs file in it.

I've re-downloaded it at least 4 times from as many sources as I can possibly find (which seems to be only 2 maybe 3). I got mine from this post >>178 and there are two other links in the sickmind thread on the old board too that I used. After I upzip them they're all the same and none of them work for me. I get the same error from all of them.

Maybe it would be possible for somebody whose game does work to upload their game and see if it's any different from what I've been downloading.

Well, you may be able to find an .iso of the windows XP startup disc for download somewhere, then use that, though if it's not working even with applocale set to japanese, then I'm not sure that'd help any.

Here's the same file in my version of dayDream (v.0.01) which is named exactly as the missing file your error message shows. Download it, and if its name is messed up name it ｼｽﾃﾑ instead.

No it doesn't, it messes up menus and text and such, believe me I've tried.

I was able to play game by switching my OS locale to Japan but that's messed up some things.

I can't get applocale to install.

Ok never mind. I got it to work by doing this. Just in case someone else is having troubles try this out

1. Place the AppLocale installer (apploc.msi) in your C: drive.
2. Go to your start menu, type cmd in the search box.
3. Hold down crtl+shift and click on cmd.exe.
4. Select Yes when a dialog asks if you want the program to make chances to your computer.
5. The command prompt should show C:\Windows\System32.
6. Type cd\ and press enter to navigate to the C: drive.
7. Type apploc.msi and press enter, the installer will appear.
8. Install the application.

When I play Lcd Dem, many sounds aren't there. There is no sound when she walks, when I flip through menus, use effects, ect. Does anyone know how to fix this?

Does anyone know how to use the games that use the little sun looking thing instead of RPG_RT.

Those are most likely RPG Maker XP games, you would need the RTP for that.

I'm going to be annoying and ask which one I should download, and what all I should do.

Google "RPG Maker XP RTP" or something similar.

I downloaded that and actually got to install what I wanted to install but it says RGSS Player has stopped working.

Hey /fg/, what the fuck is this? I get it every other time I open Yume Nisshi. I've never seen an error like this before and I've been playing fangames for a good while now. It seems like only Nisshi gives my computer issues.
Sorry, forgot to translate it.

Looks like some serious business. Have you tried moving it to a different folder and using a different RPG_RT.exe? That's all I can think of. It's centered around the RPG_RT, it seems.
