Ten years ago in the town of Custard four young girls were appointed as disciples to old mage Ragithis. They were to be raised as mages and then to work as town’s guardians. But after the ten years of training due to unknown reason girls rebelled against Ragithis and killed him. During the harsh magic battle a whole town were entombed in the underground and a barrier spell was put on town preventing everyone from going out.
This is when Rance appears with Sill on his side, and taking a job of defeating magician maidens and saving the town. But after some research he finds out that actual evil guy was Ragithis himself, who put four magical rings on four maidens. That rings are giving a great boost of magical power to it’s bearers, but aslo able to steal magic power from virgin sorceresses and after collecting magic power of 40 maidens anyone could use these rings to obtain unlimited power. The leader of girls, Masou Shizuka, figured out Ragithis’s plan and rebelled against him but it was too late – cursed rings could not be removed and the curse started to dive maidens crazy. Now they are sheltered in the labirinth beneath the town abducting young girls from the town and killing everyone who tried to go into the labirinth and stop them. It seems that the only way to release them from the curse of the rings is to steal a virginity from them, and the only man up to this job is Rance.
(This is 2010 remake, English pre-patched)
since this is a remake, this one is also the one called alice 2010 right?
“Alice 2010” contains also other stuff, apart from Rance remake, none of which was translated.
I’ll spare you downloading of 3GB of other data if that’s the only thing that was translated.
Awesome, thx for all your hardwork admin!
I downloaded the game but whenever I try to play it I keep getting a black screen?
im getting a sys42vm file error with this game i download a new file to replace the old one in hopes it would get it to work but the error is still coming up
when i say new file i am talking about a new sys42vm file
can anyone help me i cant find the last two cgs?
ok i find one of the last 2 cgs, one of which is the level goddess which you can only get after lvling up to like lvl 40ish, at which point you assault her, can anyone tell me the other second to last cg?
try asking talking or maybe looking somewhere in the info store at the time when your in shizuka’s maze(part 6 i think)
her computer is having problems and you need to fix it
click any thing of the choices until you get electrocuted then enjoy your cg ^^ sorry for the inaccurate info i was in a skip mode and it happened so fast
yeah, how do you get the cg for the item store girl? something along the lines of finding the mimic’s parents?
the cg for the item store girl
Optional: Return to the city and go to the item shop, look at the chest and you will be asked to find it’s “Mother”. Buy one “Wood of Return” if you don’t already own one.
Enter the Maze and use the teleporter which leads to the dead body. At the Passage west to where the dead body is, near the end of the path you can find a button (Search Surroundings). Press it.
Teleport back and walk to the Hanny statue and look at it. Go to the end of the corridor to activate the trap. Flee to the statue and use the wood of return there.
Return to the Statue and pick up the “Mother”. Bring her to the Item-Shop for the CG.
sry for taking up so much room
Ahh…. good, oldschool RPGs.
The old school rpgs are the best
Admin, will you upload Rance 1 ?
Thanks for your hard work !
Yes, I’m going to post every game that was ever released in english eventually. It just takes time. During last 3 days i posted 24 games already.
Admin, something’s wrong with your link since after downloading I keep suffering the same error that j has and I can’t seem to fix it.
can you help me?
Admin, what about progress to the rance series (I mean rance 1, 3, 4, 5, 6 , and the new 8)? I really looking forward to this rance series :XD. Thanks for you time and hard work…. and i really love this site.I hope this site stay forever :XD
Admin I keep downloading the game only to have the error J is having. What can I do to fix it?
its in japanese ._.
Do I have to play in Japanese locale or something?
If I start the game all I get is moonspeak, and after that just a black screen….
Re-downloaded the files, changed my locale to Japanese and changed my compatibillity to Windows XP Serive package 2.
But I still get the same error j described, and it’s still all moonspeak…
I someone knows what to do, it would help…
As TruePerv already noted, it appears that the game is in Japanese even if the download description says “english prepatched”.
We have to do something to enable the English patch… or it’s a misunderstanding?
I just DLed this game and its in english although the intro is in japanese. Thanks for d game admin..
argh! Figures… I stopped at the intro… I’m truly sorry, I’m going to check now…
well I finally found the solution to get the game running
FIRST download it and extract it, preferably using winrar
Next is to change your locale to japan
for vista, xp, and 7, go to control panel, click on region icon, click change region, and then set it to Japanese.
After that, you restart your comp and try clicking on the extension
Tryed that but im still getting the sys42vm error then black screan plz help
Well I finished the game. (Yeah I made the same dumbass mistake, thought it was in Japanese because of the intro. >.<)
Are there other Rance games, besides Sengoku Rance, that have been translated by the way? I know that a group is working/was working on Rance 3 and Rance Quest (Which is Rance 8 I think.)
But I also heard good things about Rance 6, and I don't know if there is a translated version.
just a question admin when i extracted the files i got an warcraft 3 AI data file with the rest of the files is that intentional or was it a mistake?
it’s not Warcraft AI data, lol. The files just happen to share the same extension like those.
can anyone make a walktrough there i cant pass the 2nd stage where i need 2 find something 2 activate the teleporter!
when i start the game, only two Sys42VM popups happen. then after that black screen! please help admin. pleeeasse
forget about my previous post. its working now. i only change the system locale to japan. thank you admin. ^^
@need cg Do U know how 2 beat the death girl?
admin can u pls upload :Tail tale english trans coz i want to play it badly tnx
I dowloaded this game changed my locale to japan and it still gives me a system 42 error what am I doing wrong
Out of curiosity what kind of computer are you using?
I am running windows 7 if thats what the question was and its not a mac
Use applocale … it worked for me *u can install it to win7 64x google it”
it says its unable to launch the specified application.
Reinstall it.. the same happened to me when I first tried to start it normal and then with applocale..
I can not change my locale to japan, as i CANT get the files for it. Does anyone know anything else i can do?
help i cant seem to get the game to work even though i switch to japanese locale and reboot my computer and appolocal dosnt seem to work as well and i am using a XP system (Y_Y)
when i start the game it shows the black screen and just exits out (Y_Y)
for windows xp: use applocale
for windows vista and seven: change unicode to Japanese (Japan)
1. open control panel and click in “Change display language”
2. in the tab “Administrative”, click in “Change system locale”
3. change the system locale to japanese
4. if necessary, restart the computer
in my case, it worked (although you have to play again some games because the old save files dosen’t work in the new unicode)
+1 Had the same black screen problem described by others above and this solution worked for me.
Is there something I can do to get the numbers in game to display properly? The numbers in combat appear properly but the numbers in the status screen and in shops don’t. What can I do to fix it?
Thank you Admin, I am in asia so i can’t do nothing for now but to say thank you *sob thank you *sob
ah shit i can’t play this game, not even when i changed my locale or whatever it is, i made everything into japanese and now my laptop is in japanese language with japanese region but i am still unable to play it, the extracted system file names are all in “___02.bla bla bla”
i don’t know what to do anymore,change locale, change language, doesn’t work at all.. God please help me..
But then my brain think something random, i change the “___02. bla bla bla” in the file name to “ランス０２.bla bla bla” and miraculously it works, so far so good. change all the unread (the “___” ones)file names to “ランス０２” and you are ready to go. once again, thanks for the game Admin!
Holy crap, thanks man!!! it worked
I did change the names as you mentioned, and the game started, however after that, i couldn’t do more, i saw the intro but couldn’t start the game, seemed like my mouse did not get recognized or something similiar, also the hotkeys seemed disorted as escape caused something like opening the sound modifications? also the game was (except for the disorted start options) on japanese.
did you do something else except for changing the names of the datas?
How to change all the file name into the same name in the same folder? Win wouldn’t allowed it.
good advice, worked for me too. maybe winrar runs in english only, ignoring all non-unicode characters? the message log made it clear it didn’t seem to like them.
edit: the game shows version 1.00?
I am trying to download from your links but the links dnt seem to lead me anywhere help.
sorry, but i already change the name as mentioned by Shurei and also change the appocale but it still show sys 42 error
Mediafire files are removed
i changed the name but still doesent work please help
Will someone please help me make this work and don’t say change system locals it won’t work
Is it possible for you to reupload the mediafire links?
Hey people, I have a problem with the .rar packs.
Whenever I try to unpack them with Winrar, an error pops up. Something about not being able to name the files. It renames them into ____02.ain for example.
Whenever I try to start the game, only unreadable text pops up.
I already switched to japanese locale.
Got the same problem as CvK.
Whenever I try to unpack them with Winrar, an error pops up. And there is no exe file, only 7 file that cannot be open.
I also can’t unpack properly and it gives 36 errors 🙁
really weird -.-
I couldn’t unzip with winrar either but 7zip worked. So try that or some other unpacking tool.
Oh…. i feel so stupid. Everyone please ignore my previous post in this page.
The reason why i only have 7 file after i unpack the file is because part2 are not downloaded properly thus making it corrupt. When i check the size of part2 that i’ve download, the file size is 190, on mediafire the file size was 191 mb, so basically it short 1 MB. Can you guys believe it, 1 MB. Only a few second more until finish, than suddenly the download went corrupt. Arghh……. I din’t notice it before because winrar give me many error message about the file name, so i ignore the last message about corrupted file…. How careless i am.
P/S
For those who still have trouble playing this VN, especially the file name, here is the solution.
1. unpack part1
2. rename any file with ??? to ランス.
For Example – ???02GA.wai to ランス02GA.wai
3. Run the game. At first, you will be unable to do anything when you click your mouse or hit your keyboard except Esc, but don’t worry, just wait until the opening is finish than
you can play this VN. ( this will happen only on the first time you run this VN, after that, you will no longer have to wait the opening to finish. Just skip it by clicking the mouse)
I get a Sys42VM error and black screen whenever I try and run the game.
-I have changed the file names like Ryoichi said
-I have my system locale in japanese, and have played many VNs before this.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
+1 here I have played many VN from here too but this is the 1st time I got this error
If you got black screen, then it is mostly because codec issue.
download and update your codec, then it should be fine.
never mind i got it 🙂
1. open AliceStart.ini
2. Search for the Game Code,
3. There should be a file called ランス02.ain
now this is the the difference, if you copy the ランス02 from here you will get what you see here, but what the game want was the “ランス02” from the AliceStart.ini. if you copy from alice start you will get a bit different string it’s almost like there’s a space between the 0 and 2
“ランス0 2” <=(don't copy this one though)
after this just copy it to all your "___" file and try it, it worked for me so could anyone verify it??
sorry for the long post and the bad grammar though 🙁
it worked for me also trauma, you need the special spaced 0 2
Can anyone tell me if there are other remake of the rance series? I guess if there’s a remake for no2 there must be a remake for no1, right? BTW, what are the other contents of Alice2010?
Thanks
*Ak5shays*
Trauma comment works
Thanks!
Trauma’s way work but just for the opening movie, when I wanted to play it, the cursor doesn’t work, can anyone help me?
Hey, I have a problem opening the application. When I open it through .exe, it has an error message saying JAB and then jibberish.
That’s what happens, and then the window is just a black screen. Please help.
Well. I’ve spent many hours trying to run this game. I don’t have problem with Japanese locale but this prepatched version don’t work for me. I’ve changed all names and stuff. Every time i get menu it’s gray bg and white english menu but i can’t click anything. Tried everything i found on net but it still don’t work.
Would anybody help me?
