Chaos;Head

Thx for the eroge

I started the installation and it wants a serial key...but there is nothing (crack or serial number) in the ISO file.

Oh, right.
The Serial Number is 000-702-000-114.
I've updated first post with this information aswell.

i installed the game but when i run it shows an error message 2100

sorry to bother once again but is this game both in english and japanese or just in english

once again i am sorry you know where can i find the patch....just wondering i am new so i have no idea

Oh, right. Looks like patch link got somehow missing during site move. I'll reupload it right away.

hi i have done all things from the Installation instructions
but something is wrong with the antifail instellar.bat
firstly the game works but it isn`t in english, except of the menu
secondly after the opening credits and the movie, the game crashs
I hope you can help me


Sorry for my bad English

thanks for your help but it doesn´t work

i have a error 1512 i don't want what it is

i don't know*

Alright. i get the 2100 error code if i try to run the game from its file. if i try to run it from my computer, i get the error code 1512. i dont know what to do plz help me T_T

I know this sounds dumb but, where do I get this "NoDVD patch"? I may have missed something but as far as I know the only links available on your post are the game itself and the English Patch.

BTW, this blog is actually great! Keep it up, : D

Well actually I found it on another site. Anyway, now I can run the game and such, but when I click start the game goes to a black screen for a moment and later just return to the main menu, furthermore, I can't change any option on the Options menu. : (

Alright. i got the NoDVD patch. by running the antifail.bat on hard and softsub. now my problem is that after the opening scene plays. the game has a 'has to close' error and closes T_T

I have the problem that i don't find a crack on the Disk and when i install the Englsih Patch the Game give me the 2100 error.

Wait no it's an 1511 Error

Now i have a crack but after the game starts it quits itself

"Anyway, now I can run the game and such, but when I click start the game goes to a black screen for a moment and later just return to the main menu, furthermore, I can’t change any option on the Options menu. : ("

This is my problem too. ;__;

And i don't get a main menu i get a black window and the the game crashes

Witout Patch it works but when i aply the patch it don't work

Hyo!

Thanx for this ^^

Anyways, I suffered the same problem as Gimlye-sama. So I installed VSFilter and opted for soft subs which seemed to solve the problem. I hope that helps anyone ^^

I have install the but i don't find the nodvd patch where it is?

install the game*

Having a problem.
When I`m in the game and I press start, it just won't start!
Goes to a black screen for few sec and then back to menu...
How can I fix this?

how can i play the game in fullscreen mode?

Once I've downloaded the rars, separately what do I do with them? Create a Chaos;Head folder or just download the English patch? Please respond when you have time. Super new to this. Thanks again.

No wonder it doesnt work i couldt find the nodvd patch is it missing or do we have to download it ourself?

When I tried the NODVD patch, it just went to a black screen and crashed

It seems one of the files is missing?

i used the antifail patch and the game runs in english, however for the first 2 cutscenes (where rimi realboots her sword as well as the opening for chaos head)there is no image but the sound plays in the background
ive been stuck on this for a long time
PLZ HELP

UH instructions on how to get this to work on vista run no dvd goes to black screen and shuts down I hate vista

Should have mentiond...I'm also running this on windows 7 and every time I start it after running the patch it opens to a black screen then crashes.

Got the game installed and everything.

But always a black screen-_-

mine is working V:

I mean everything so far, i will post how i got it later

so I downloaded the four parts then extracted them to a folder in desktop using winrar.

the only thing inside is "CHAOSHEAD-isofile-". I opened "Daemon Tools" and mounted the isofile.

You need to install Daemon tools in case you dont have it. Then just click the picture of the disk that says "add file" and find the folder where you extracted the game.

When you find the .iso file click open. Under image catalog, you will now see the file, double click it. You should now see a picture of a girl with pink hair at the bottom.

Now you can close daemon, then go to my computer. You should see a “BD-ROM Drive (E:) CHAOSHEAD”, double click it and the game installer will come up.

If you are using windows7 –DONT install it in (C:) disk. Anywhere else is fine, like desktop or my documents.

After you install it, you can try running the game but an error will come up. Now you need to get the noDvd.exe

Im not sure if you can get the noDVD.exe from the game download. I got mine from here
http://rapidshare.com/files/195162237/ChaosHead.exe

Get the "noDVD.exe", then copy it and paste it in the chaos;head folder. When you paste, be sure to replace the .exe that is there. (you are asked to replace)

You should be available to play the japanese version with noDVD.exe some of the beginning has english subs.

Anyways we want it in english, now we are gonna use the english patch.

Find the place where you downloaded it, then extract it directly to the "chaos;head" folder. The new files are: Antifail Installation, DO NOT TOUCH.rar, readme, unRar.

You can take a look at the readme file.It also got the instructions.

Now it says you can download the latest version of vsfilter for softsubs. Im not sure what "softsubs" are but if you know go ahead, just download it and paste it in chaos head folder.

Time to run the Antifail Installation. A win32 windows will come up. Read and then it will ask for the license of the game which is the giving here, 000-702-000-114, it will descompress the files from the "DO NOT TOUCH"rar. It will ask you if you have a folder "npa_backup" and is gonna ask for other files too. just answer yes or no then enter.

It will ask to delete the unRar, i clicked yes

It may take a while but wait until it says that the installation is done. The incompletes credits will be at the bottom.

now chaos head folder looks like this:

cg (folder)
dx (folder)
npa_backup (folder)
nss(folder)
Antifail Installation (batch file)
ChaosHead (noDVD.exe)
crass (compressed file, dont unzip)
mvINTER01.ass
mvOP.ass
Readme
sound.npa
system.npa
voice.npa
VSFilter.dll (i downloaded this then pasted)

--Im continuing in next post

OKay now that Antifail Installation is done, some plp would think the game would be ready to play.

You can open the exe. and a nitro logo comes up, then a black screen for a few secs. Then you get to the menu of the game, however if you click "start", a black screen comes up and then you are back the the menu... also you cannot change anything in config, and the load screen is also bugged.

The reason why the game doesnt run properly is because you need one last thing, "Applocale" which you can search to download it.

If you are using windows7 you need to do some extra work to install it. However, try installing it and if a message saying "the program couldnt be installed because a program needed is missing" (something like that) try the following.

Here’s how to install AppLocale on Windows 7:
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.

from -http://blog.wentoday.com/?p=136

You should be available to install it after doing this.
then you are done ^_^

To play the game, open applocale(go to start menu, search bar -applocale-, click it.

In the applocale wizard click next, launch an application should be selected, then click browse, go to chaos folder and select the noDvd.exe (isnt called that,"chaoshead applocation")

haha i clicked submit by accident...
"chaoshead application"
then click next, it will ask for the language of the application next. Just check that the image matched this 日本語, click next, then it asks if you want to make a shortcut.Lastly click finish ^_^

The game exe will run, you will notice that where there was a long black screen before now there is a caution screen in english.

Also the menu has music this time and you can change things in config.

The most important thing is that when you click "start" it doesnt send you back to the menu screen.

Lastly, something not so important, when closing the game from the menu, click exit not the "x".

Ok, for copying the anti fail patch. Do I copy it over to the nitroplus folder or to Chaos;Head folder?

Wasn't done-_- which would be in the nitroplus folder...or the one on my desktop?

As in, just drag it into the chaos;head folder?(got the game working in japanese X3)

Ok, I was able to get it to run in japanese, now when I did everything.(applocle said I was already able to run it, didn't ask if I wanted to make a shorcut.) Now that I tried it again. Got the english warning sign. It goes past that and then to a black screen with the music playing and nothing else. What did I do wrong?

Also, when I try to close the game. It says close game...but that's it, nothing else comes up just red space and no buttons.

If you selected to install to desktop, there should be a folder called chaos;head. You need to extract the english patch to there.

you did run antifail batch right?
and those your folder looks like this ?

cg (folder)
dx (folder)
npa_backup (folder)
nss(folder)
Antifail Installation (batch file)
ChaosHead (noDVD.exe)
crass (compressed file, dont unzip)
mvINTER01.ass
mvOP.ass
Readme
sound.npa
system.npa
voice.npa
VSFilter.dll (i downloaded this then pasted)

"and does your folder looks like this"*

It sounds like you made a mistake while installing the patch

The only thing I have in the Chaos;Head folder besides all of that.(Don't have VSFilter.dll is the AntiFail ChaosHead patch zipped along with the antifail installation.) If that didn't make sense, I have everything in the above post except that after the Anti Installation I have the Chaos_Head_AntiFail_Patch. After that everything is the same except I don't have VSFillter.dll

the only file that should be zipped is "crass"
try deleting that zipped file.

no wait D:
dont delete "crass"
i mean the antifail chaos head patch zipped

i like this game .-.

Ok...I did...and still a black screen with the music playing*BAWLS*

aww :/

im thinking ;/

Okay lets go over the important steps
-Install game to desktop (or my documents).Not to (C: )disk
-Get the noDVD.exe and paste it to Chaos;Head folder.
-Be sure to replace the .exe inside the folder with noDVD.exe
-Get the english path, and extract it directly to chaos;head.
-Do not unzip "DO NOT TOUCH" rar
-Run Antifail batch.
-After is done, the only zipped file is "crass"
-Get applocale installed.
-Run the game with applocale.

so do you see something that you think you forgot?

Alright, I'm going to uninstall and try from scratch.

ye i was going to suggest that

I should just need to delete the anti fail patch right?(shouldn't need to download the exe again right, should I delete the chaos;head folder?(don't know if its there still gonna check)

if you used daemon tools to install it, you can mount the .iso file again and open the installer window. You shouldsee the option to unistall from there.
Dont delete the files you downloaded from here, but you can delete anything else you extracted from them

Ok, didn't delete the rar files 1-4. Everything else is gone.(just the english exe and the antifail witch I'm have in my dock now)

okay then start installing it ^^

Ok, in my downloads. I have the Chaos;Head.Exe from your rapid link and the antifail patch...mounting the iso dvd file thing now...

Ok, sorry(if you don't want to walk me through this...again. I understand. Not -_-;;)

Also, should I just game install it or directX install?

nah i dont mind at all ^.^
just game install
im pretty sure your computer has directX installed, is used daily

Ok, I placed it on my desktop.(Says C:User Nekonapper Desktop

wait

eh...comes up with some japanese...should I just click yes?

Doing this step by step. Thanks for taking the time to do this.

okay, just checking if it was okay "C:User Nekonapper Desktop"
Yup
okay now you can extract the english patch

yes the installer is in japanese (if thats where you are)
just to verify, which step are you doing
and your welcome

At the install wizard part.

Should I leave the box checked?

okay
just watch out when you see, "programfiles(86)..." something like that.
when it asks for it, thats when you change to install desktop

yes leave the box checked.
thats for making a shortcut
and the last box is for running the game

just so that you know, if the game gets installed in (C: )disk,
when you run the "antifail. batch" it will not decompress the files of "DO NOT TOUCH"rar, it will say that the installation is done but nothing will be change.

thats why the game has to be set to install at desktop.

Ok...I just got an 1512 error...

thats normal
when you try to run the japanese game is going to bring that error asking for the cd.

now you need to noDVD.exe that you downloaded.
copy and paste it to chaos;head and replace the .exe that you just run.

Just drag it from my downloads to the folder right?

i would prefer copy and paste, just in case you may need it again

Or copy paste?(copied and pasted)

yup, it should ask to replace a file, *replace*

Ok, I replaced it.

Should I try playing the game?

yes
you should be available now
you will see a nitroplus sing then another sing, a caution screen, then the menu of the game (with no music i believe)

you should also be available to change things in config, and to start the game

Ok, got the menu(with music playing along with sound effects) and I'm able to change things in the config.(didn't since I don't know a lick of japanese.

oh music :o
well maybe i didnt have headphones at that moment.

well lets install the english patch now

go to the chaos head english file, and extract it direclty to the chaos;head fodler

Ok...that's opening the antifail zip...do I extract it in the chaoshead folder or on the desktop(don't think the desktop)

to the chaoshead folder

K...its under the voice.npa extracting it now.

Ok, did it.

kk

So run the anti fail instillation right?

wait run the exe first

you will see the same nitro sign, but no caution and a black screen(a bit long) before the menu.

check that you cant change anything in config
click start, to see if it send you back to menu

the game?


K...running the game. I'm in the menu with the epic music playing.

lol i wonder why i didnt have music..

http://www.afterdawn.com/software/audio_video/subtitle_tools/vsfilter.cfm

download this next

So I have the game running...now what? Before I didn't start the game and just ran the anti fail patch.

when you click start, does it sent you back to menu?

Nope, goes straight into the rain falling and Mr delusional talking.

.....lol

okay run the antifail. batch now

As the game is running or exit it?(He's laying down being emo)

exit it.
then go to the folder

Ok, at the folder. Run the anti fail program?

yes

it will ask for the license number first

Ok, I don't have VSFilter/DirectVobSub(have no clue what that is)

i sent the file link but is waiting moderation to show up..

Shoould I just go with hard subs?

yeah

Stupid question...but should I type it out as (Hard) or Hard?

hard

Ok, looking in my folder now.

is the only zipped file "crass"?

and your folder looks like

cg (folder)
dx (folder)
npa_backup (folder)
nss(folder)
Antifail Installation (batch file)
ChaosHead (noDVD.exe)
crass (compressed file, dont unzip)
mvINTER01.ass
mvOP.ass
Readme
sound.npa
system.npa
voice.npa

Ok, I have

CG.Npa
Nss.npa
sound.npa
system.npa
and voice.npa
No npa_backup

Is it ok to send a tinypic link to you of what my folder looks like or no?

mm...
in the antifail.batch, it asks to create a npa_backup folder, did you click no?

CG.Npa
Nss.npa
sound.npa
system.npa
and voice.npa
No npa_backup

so is the "DO NOT TOUCH"rar gone?

no, it asked if I had one. typed no.

As soon as I typed that. a msg came up saying windows can't open this file: cg.npa

yes, how you want to sent the picture?

ah the msg is normal, just click cancel when it does

I'll just link it.

i think every link needs to be review by admin before other plp can see it

Here's two links. one of my folder and one of the anti fail where I am now.

http://i36.tinypic.com/535yip.png

http://i37.tinypic.com/nqs9xv.png

Oh, darn. Well, after clicking no on the cg.npa not being found. My folder now has the npa.backup nss and cg folders

so that means it looks like this? :3

cg (folder)
dx (folder)
npa_backup (folder)
nss(folder)
Antifail Installation (batch file)
ChaosHead (noDVD.exe)
crass (compressed file, dont unzip)
mvINTER01.ass
mvOP.ass
Readme
sound.npa
system.npa
voice.npa

Well mine looks more like this:

cg(folder)
crass(folder)
dx(folder)
npa_backup(folder)
nss(folder)
Antifail Installation(batch file)
cg(RAR)
ChaosHead Antifail patch(zipped)
ChaosHead(Application)
crass(RAR)
fonts
KozMinPro-Heavy
Movies(RAR)
mvINTER01.ass
mvOP.ass
nss(RAR)
Primitive
Readme
sound.npa
system.npa
UnRAR(Application)
UnRar_License(txt document)
voice.npa

That's what's in my Chaos;Head folder

*Praying that he didn't miss anything. was a bitch to type out*

* I didn't miss anything.
Sorry about that. Sooo...did I mess up?

okay maybe the difference is because, you put "no" when it asked to delete the unrar files. and i put "yes"

maybe it doesnt matter, so lets try with applocale

i dont think you messed up.

Ok, waait. It now says. Deleting RAR file to clean up space then crass. Are you sure (Y)/(N)

y

Should I type yes on that? (Is that asking to delete the unrar files?

yes
that asks to delete UnRAR and other files that you dont need

Ok, it went to the credits...should I just exit out of it?

yes you can exit it now

Now...what?:3

now to applocale

At the locate the application

you got it installed already?

It the browse and my chaos;head folder popped up

yeah you need to browse chaos;head folder, the one in desktop
then check the language is set to 日本語

Yeah, I got it installed already and when I hit the browse my chaoshead folder popped up with:

Cg(folder)
dx(folder)
npa_backup(folder)
nss(folder)
and ChaosHead(application)

So don't click anything. just open it?(aka don't click the chaoshead application?)

click the chaos head (application)

im crossing fingers ,0,

Ok...has the same kanji...click next:3 ?!

yes :3

game running okay? > . <
you should see caution now in english, everything should have music, you can change things in config.
and when you click start you hear the voice of the guy too

Ok...now says...Your current system settings can already accommodate the target application in the language you have selected. Click Finish and AppLocale will launch the target application without any compatibility support.

Launch it?

mm i didnt get that, but yeah launch it

FUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUU- it works. YATTA!!!!!!!*throws hands in the air* Soo, if I want to create a shorcut for it. Can I do it from the Chaos;Head folder or do I have to run the game from AppLoacle from now on?

waaa yay ^.^
if you want to create a short cut for the game you need to use applocale. It should ask you if you want to create a shortcute(it does to me).

Yes you need to run applocale to play the game, if you use the .exe directly from chaos;head folder, it will not work.

Oh, eh ok. It opens it auto so no big deal I guess. FUCKING THANK YOU FOR YOUR TIME....How long did we work on this-_-

hahahaha
yes quite a bit (like 1 hour), is okay it was fun
Your welcome, so hope you enjoy the game ^.^
Im gonna play it too

Sweet!

the video disappers for me after about 10 min and theres only the sound help >.<

I can't find the crack file... T_T

And what i have to overwrite... all files installed are .npa and .ngs. Only "ChaosHead" is not.

google "NoDvD.exe chaos head" and click the "taring" link from the results, scroll down and there is a "NoDvD Patch" link. Download it form there.

What you need to overwrite is the application that runs the game, which is the .exe

Just paste the NoDvD.exe you got from taringa, and replace the one that is in chaos head folder. Then you are done cracking

"the video disappers for me after about 10 min and theres only the sound help >.<"

Maybe you forgot one of the followings? V:

-Install game to desktop (or my documents).Not to (C: )disk
-Get the noDVD.exe and paste it to Chaos;Head folder.
-Be sure to replace the .exe inside the folder with noDVD.exe
-Get the english path, and extract it directly to chaos;head.
-Do not unzip “DO NOT TOUCH” rar
-Run Antifail batch.
-After is done, the only zipped file is “crass”
-Get applocale installed.
-Run the game with applocale.

Don't you have the underwear patch for this by any chance?

I can´t install the English Patch on Vista. While running the Antifail Installation I get the error "access denied". Can someone help me?

There is no Crack I googled one but I can´t find it :( (I will never use torrent^^)

Just wondering, can't there be a video tutorial for this stuff? because i downloaded all the piece and try to run this with applocale but it is still written in japanese ;/ please and thank you if possible

Where is the NoDVD patch? I have downloaded the 4 parts and the english patch, but there isn't anything to overwrite... It's not in the CD...

@Keita "Run the program as Admin"

My Installation.bat can't open "DO NOT TOUCH.rar" when I run the patching process. Can somebody help?

@ keita and rei:
try running the failsafe patch as administrator, if this does not help: turn the windows "control system" (which asks you to confirm every little action you do) for the installation process.

I give up this game installer because i install it never work.

somebody,where to get this game noDVD.exe.I'm searching it bot never been found it?

hi, I download the 4 parts, but then what should I do,please help me I'm not sure how to run this stuff,

and by the way thanks for the game ando your response n_n.

The NoDVD.exe patch is not included anywhere in the links of this page...Maybe this is the reason so many people are having problems installing this.
For all those who can't get this to work:
Google 'Chaos;Head NoDVD.exe patch',download it, and paste it in your ch folder (overwite the original one) this should fix the problem, it worked perfectly in my computer.

I have the same problem with the vids only black screen and sound. Does anyone know a solution for that problem?

i don't know about that in particular. i messed with setting this game up for a few days to get the feel of things but i cant get the English sub patch to work. it says i am missing part of something so it deletes all the temporary files. help would be much appreciated. thank you for your time

is the Unrar.exe file supposed to be with the DO NOT TOUCH.rar file because in the readme.txt it said it should be under the DO NOT TOUCH.rar file but I got it separately. Does that change anything?

Ok nevermind, it works perfectly.

Thanks a lot for the upload

hello, I installed the game, and when I try to launch it, I get an error: Debugger Detected. close debugger and try again... I don't know what debugger I have to close, I tried disabling the visual studio jit debbuger and turning off my antivirus but I still get this error and can't play the game. I would be very grateful if someone helps me with this.

for the black screen... change your pc colour quality to 16bit............ it works for me.......

another is install cccp codec pack

install success!! after i start 10~15 sec it turned off. then .exe went missing!!!

i was wondering...where is that NoDVD patch/folder? i can't seem to locate it in the game or the English patch. i wonder if it was me who did things wrongly.

Wait a sec, do I NEED to use app locale because I tried English and Japanese Unicode settings and the very first part had these weird characters (I don't know if its supposed to or not) and then it was in Japanese. Anyway seems to be working otherwise, thanks for the upload, and hope for a solution (or I need app locale).

same thing happened to me

well thing is i don't know where is the no DVD patch thing if you could kindly tell

i got a weird problem here the game just suddenly stopped showing the char. sprites and i tried to reinstalling it but the same thing happened, can someone help me?

Thanks for the uploads!

You rock admin!

Same for me,in that place should be video but it shows only black screen only voices can be heard

dont understand how to intasll it and where is the crak ???, can somebody explain it ??

Found solution,just need to download k-lite codec pack and problem with movies will be resolved

Can somebody give me a link to NoDVD patch (a .exe). I can't seem to find it. Is it even included?

Is this an h-game?

Hey the game doesnt have any english words even though I applied the patch. Can anybody explain why?

I am using Win 7.
Every time I try to run the Antifail Installation, it seems to progress as normal. It asks if I have npa_backup and I type, "no". A box appears saying it is confused about how to open a file and I click cancel. Afterwards, a window pops up and says, "crage.exe has stopped working." I click cancel, close, and OK several times; the installer continues. When I try to run the game, it shows the caution in English but no menu; I get a black screen with music. When I try to close it, I get the red box to close, yet no options to actually leave. I read the previous conversation by Chaos and Astral, however; the steps did not solve my problem. Can anyone help?

Uhhhh I tried doing the steps, but I don't have any cracks or anything. The game runs, but I can't get english. My nitroplus folder with Chaos;head then another folder called 1.00 which just has two folders: images (empty) and common (which has two files, not sure about them.) I put the english patch stuff in the 1.00 folder, went through the process, it did some stuff, I tried running the game again. works fine, but no subtitles. I opted for hardsubs, I don't have the thing required for softsubs. This is my first time ever having an issue patching a game.

admin i cannot find NoDVD patch (a .exe)

admin i cannot find NoDVD patch (a .exe) too

also i can't download the english patch because the file has been deleted...

The link for the English patch is down, anyone got a mirror?

hotfile file is gone :(

admin reupload the link 4 english patch plzz...T_T

Um, I just tried installing this game by clicking CHSetup and all I get is a warning message saying "The requested operation requires elevation." 0.0

nvm, but I have a problem with the engish patch, I tried running the batch file and I keep getting "Please reinstall the game; an error was detected in ChaosHead.exe at line 2252."

@Arcane umm.. there's no problem with my english patch though. I've already patch it n play it rite nw. Prbbly there's somethin wrong wif ur ChaosHead....just try reinstalling it n try the patch again.
P.S sry 4 poor english, english is not my 1st language.

you have to set your pc complet to japan and than all j-games will run smoothly :3 i don´t re answer any questions :P

can you upload these in fileshare there all removed on hotfile

Okay,there's no longer an antifail installer,now there's a Glorious Installation.bat file instead.By crack he means just put in the NoDVD Patch.The "DO NOT TOUCH.RAR" is now "Everything.rar".DO NOT EXTRACT THAT FILE.

The answer to the question that the .bat will ask is NOT "UNRAR"."
The correct answer to put in is "trickquestion".
If you don't put that in,it will lie by saying that there's some 2252 error.(It's test to see if you can read or not.)

Also,how do you get it into fullscreen mode?

Ok if anyone can help me then bless the gods.
(Just want to say that i have tried many many times. I can count how many times i unistalled then installed.)

My problem is that After i use "glorius translation" (I used the password and everything) I click the application, or i started the game, but no matter what i do the text stays in japanese..... (Oh yeah i forgot to say that my system locale is Japan)
If anyone could help thanks

Yeah I'm having the same problem as Bob. =/

Heads up, the script was fucked for me. To fix it right click glorious translation, click edit.
Now find this line
set /p myon=(Soft) or (Hard):

Create a new line after that and enter:

cd C:\Program Files\Nitroplus\CHAOS;HEAD

Please note that since I was forced to fix the filepath in the script, IT MUST BE RUN IN THE CHAOS HEAD FOLDER.
Save and exit after you have finished editing.

For the lazy, use this instead of the zipped installer, again it must be run in its default folder with everything else in the zip file in the same folder.
(which would be C:\Program Files\Nitroplus\CHAOS;HEAD)

@Bob's problem

Try not to run the glorious installation.bat as administrator (it worked for me in Windows 7). I dunno if it'll work on earlier versions of Windows, though.

I've got windows 7 too and I've never ran it as administrator either and it still doesn't work. I even tried Mark's solution and it's still very much the same.

@Arcane looks like were the only 2 who cant play :/

At everyone, keep the suggestions coming im trying all of them

is the antifail needed 2 dl 4 this game??

and also when i try 2 run the setup exe its asking me a password code what is the password there??

@Jan Mikaeel the answer is
trick question
good luck

I can't play it either. Nothing's been translated and the game doesn't start :(

i'm still a little confused about the sub prob can some one explain a little bit more about that glorius file?

For all those hoping to play this on Windows 7, and have at least Pro or greater, the way to play this game is through XP Mode running through VMware Player. Just grab Windows Virtual PC and Windows XP Mode from Microsoft, install but do not run XP Mode, install VMware Player, then have it import the XP Mode you just installed. Now you will have a virtual machine that supports DirectX 9.0c!

How do you put it in fullscreen.can't find the option

For those with windows 7 having problems (able to play the game, but is still in japanese) you'll want to follow mark's post.

"Heads up, the script was fucked for me. To fix it right click glorious translation, click edit.
Now find this line
set /p myon=(Soft) or (Hard):

Create a new line after that and enter:

cd C:\Program Files\Nitroplus\CHAOS;HEAD

Please note that since I was forced to fix the filepath in the script, IT MUST BE RUN IN THE CHAOS HEAD FOLDER.
Save and exit after you have finished editing."

However since you're windows 7 it'll look more like
cd C:\Program Files (x86)\NitroPlus\CHAOS;HEAD

After that run the batch file (glorious installation) as administrator. The installation should would fine then. Except I messed around a bit more so the menu is still in japanese, game is in English though.(not sure if its supposed to be like that).

Also, for those wanting to know how to go to into full screne, start up the game, right click, go to "F".

When I have to create a new line after
"set /p myon=(Soft) or (Hard):"

Would it be like this?

set /p myon=(Soft) or (Hard):
cd C:\Program Files (x86)\NitroPlus\CHAOS;HEAD

Anyone got any tips on how to run this with Fedora or Kubuntu or am I just SoL?

I found a solution to the problem. The Chaos;Head English patch RC1 didn't go so well for me, even after I tried sparenoone solution the patch finished installing but then the game became completely blank. Later I found an updated version of the english patch on google. I downloaded it, installed it and then my Chaos;Head worked perfectly fine with the english translation. For people who are still struggling you can get the Chaos;Head English Translation RC2 here http://www.mediafire.com/?xkwwiqzwzm3

Hrm, so I did everything right (I hope) up to setting the English patch. I did read the readme and follwed the instructions, but where exactly do I put all those files so the game will actually be in English? And what files do I move?

how do i install this properly? i tried everything in the comments but none worked...

I have a Real Problem here T^T I did all that stuffs, and now, when I run the game, I click start button, but a black screen appear, and after it I have only the main one, with start another time :/

Is this the +18 version or the +15 version of the game?

There is no 18+ version. Never was.

I keep on getting error 1512 anyone know why?

Hello guys.
Firstly I got the same prob mostly the same with all of u. I tried some of the suggestion above and succeed. this is the detail about how I did it.


1. Install the game
2. Copy ChaosHead.exe to your Chaos;Head folder, overwrite the .exe that’s already there.
3. Copy all the data in the english patch to your Chaos;Head folder
4. Edit the Antifail Installation.bat

find this line
set /p myon=(Soft) or (Hard):

Create a new line after that and enter:

cd C:\Program Files\Nitroplus\CHAOS;HEAD

Please note that since I was forced to fix the filepath in the script, IT MUST BE RUN IN THE CHAOS HEAD FOLDER.
Save and exit after you have finished editing.”

However if you’re using windows 7 it’ll look more like
cd C:\Program Files (x86)\NitroPlus\CHAOS;HEAD

5. Run ‘Antifail Installer.bat’
answer the question
? License
! "trick question"
? Softsub or Hardsub
! If you have the latest vsfilter answer "Soft" if you don't "Hard"
? npa_backup
! "No" if windows asks how to open a file, click "Cancel"
After that wait a while for the file to be extract
? Deleting RAR and extraction files
! "Y"

6. Play the game
Play the game in Applocale under 日本語 or use a Japanese non-unicode setting.

P.S Sorry for my english

Well I got the game to work finnaly... Im using wins 7 and the way I fixed it was move the whole entire chaos head folder to like the desktop. Then I ran the .bat file after that was finished I moved it back into the programs folder where i had originally installed it.

One problem after another *sigh*... Alright I somehow managed to get the english patch to work using sparenoone's RC1 ver but now I get a black screen with sound from the menu and when I try to exit, the exit menu is completely blanked out, it's just "Close the Game?" with no Yes or No...

excuse me... anyone, can i ask for help please?
i've installed the game, the no dvd.exe, then the patch RC2 version... the game works... but then, when i click the start menu... after a few dialogues... it all suddenly goes black... anyone can help?

thanks so much... :)

Excuse me. I tried installing the RC1, then when I clicked start in the game menu, I just got back to the main menu. Then I tried the RC2 and just got the same problem. Help please.

i installed it but i cannot find the directory to copy the patch. does any one know where it would be on a vista or whats it called?

i successfully install it, but when i click start it goes back to the same page. not matter how many times i tried it is still the same

For any of you who just had trouble figuring out how to install this in general, follow this vid:

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6ViG6CYgQ6Q

It seriously helped me anyway... :3

@anon

excuse me but the installer isn't working.. it says it needs something else.. any other link..?

hi. can u teach me how to run this right..?

I followed instructions and did everything precisely as it said but the game turn out to be still in Japanese, not in English. I installed the game, and I copied the crack into the folder where Chaos Head is installed. Then I tried to install the English patch of the game (The patch from TL Wiki). I ran the game again and saw the first few lines not in English but in Japanese. So I thought it didn't work and I tried redo everything up to the part where I have to install the English patch from TL Wiki but instead of that I used the Antifail patch. But everything pretty much stayed the same as the first few lines of the game are still in Japanese. Is this what its suppose to happen? Or did I do something wrong in the step where I have to install the patch.

I downloaded another version through a torrent and I get the game in full Japanese characters, I runned a English patch but since I'm on a vista even with running the BAT file on admin it still denies access to those certain files which I'm guessing is the English patch... everything else works flawlessly except for it not being in English (I tried hard and soft subs both don't work ((My sub filter is retarded)) anyone got a fix for this?

I just installed it and it was running fine until it stops playing. I'm looking at a close up on the main character's computer screen after you take a look around his place. What I see is the 'name', 'color', and 'reload' with 'current members'. I'm pretty confused, is it frozen for do I have to press some button for this?

I just mounted and installed the first part and...it seems to be working just fine. What do the other parts do then?

When I try downloading the 3rd part it keeps ending before the whole file is downloaded. Is the file corrupt or is it just my computer? o.o

I am wondering if you could include descriptive instructions to your Instillation instructions. I have daemon, and Extract Frog as programs. Windows 7. Just curious on how to do this whole thing.

Can u upload it to Megaupload and add link to Chaos_Head_English_Translation_RC2?

Make sure your PC is set to Japanese locale

If you are using Windows 7, you should not install it with the default installation directory that the setup provided "C:\Program Files\Nitroplus", instead of taking that one,
create your own directory in download folder (documents folder or desktop)

provided by the serial 000-702-000-114

After installation, copy the NoDVD patch (ChaosHead.exe) and place it in the directory you've made
(ex: "C:\Documents\Ark\Nitroplus")

After coying the NoDVD patch, extract the "Chaos_Head_English_Translation_RC1" the game folder but don't extract the "everything.rar/do not touch.rar”!!" file!

I repeat "DON'T EXTRACT THE "EVERYTHING.RAR/“DO NOT TOUCH.RAR" FILE"

Read "Read Me.txt"

run the Antifail Installer.bat also called the Glorious Installation.bat
Answer to the question: "trickquestion"
Then just follow the other instructions
after that you can play the game with english subtitle!

I've tried the instructions on Antifail Installation.bat but it always end with "extracting from movies.rar
Cannot create ./dx/mvOP.ngs
Acces is denied.
Cannot create ./dx/mvINTER01.ngs
Access is denied.
No files to extract
Deleting RAR and extraction files to clean up space
./crass/, Are you sure (Y/N)?"
What should i do?
Both of them deleting the extracting.
Then i clicked the chaoshead.exe from no dvd and nothing happened.

Hi there, I got the same problem with you, but can you explain in more details of how you fix yours?

And what do you mean by crage.exe files? where does it locate?

I do remember when I extracting antifail batch and in the process got somehow cancel to open this files...

I am using Windows 7 and have followed every single instruction of installing.

But when the game is loaded, the Caution text appears first, skipping the Nitro+ Logo. Then the black screen with the menu music appears, and nothing happens. Only can be closed through Task Manager afterwords.

Anyone know a solution to fix this?

Can somebody fix this problem: After i see the OP, Chaos;Head crashes after about 10 lines of text then it freezes after i hear the protagonist stand from his chair. It also crashed at the beginning of chapter 2 after the first scene in a very similar fashion when the protagonist is at his computer screen.

I am able to play the game, and the dialogues are in English. But how come the text for the CAUTION screen (In the beginning of the game) is still in Japanese as well as the menu? Also, how come the CGs (Example would be the websites that Takumi looks at, the essay in his 4th grade class, etc.) are still in Japanese? Is it suppose to be that way?

I have the pictures all installed in the game folder, and I would see it's in English. But how come it's not when I play the game?

J'ai besoin de l'aide! >.< *sniffs*

Thanks for concern, but this site is completely legal - even Mangagamer acknowledged this (I had to get their permissions before adding "Mirror #3 - buy this game" links. - they had to consult a lawyers, since i waited almost a week for reply, and got half-page long response written in law-newspeak ("(...)however our authorization of your participation in the program does not mean we have given any official authorization or permission to host(...) " and so on....) that basicaly said "yes, you can").
Erogedownload is not the only "illegal" site I'm running - i operate two more "warez" forums and one "porn warez" forum and several 'grey area" projects - since i'm fulltime webmaster and those sites are my main source of income, i'm keeping track of changes in related copyright laws, so that my sites always stay legal and don't get taken down.

someone help me plz :( .. i did everything .. but when i click to start the game .. it shows a black screen .. and after few seconds it disappear .. what should i do ?
and thx

You should change regional settings to japan.. some programms will be in japane, but its the only way or just use Applocate- emulate japane ( show the way to exe Chaos_head)

For some reason when I open the downloaded parts, I get the "Unexpected end of Archive" error.

My wifi is a complete pain, so I'll try downloading again, but until there, anyone have any advice or something?

@ Ziogen: You're right, you should manually delete the remaining files in your Chaos;Head folder, if you happen to see any. And you would have to uninstall it then install it again.

As for downloading it, I figured out a way for the game to work properly.

First of all, I downloaded all the game parts. Then. I downloaded the NoDVD Patch. Second, instead of the Glorious Installation, I downloaded the old English Patch, the Anti-fail Patch.

Anti-Fail Patch: http://www.mediafire.com/?3p7o0owd4lx1scw

As you install the game, you'll notice it's in Japanese, and it will ask for the Serial Number. Concluding that, if your computer is a Windows 7 or Vista, it's not a good idea to extract the game folder into Program Files. The right way would be sending it to your Desktop. After that, there will be a Japanese question-poppy thingy, and I believe it was asking if you want a shortcut. Click "no" since the game is still in Japanese. Then click finish.

Then, I followed the instructions in this video: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6ViG6CYgQ6Q

Note 1: You must follow the user's instructions consistently.
Note 2: You shouldn't drag the anti-fail patch like he did. Extract it into your game folder instead. It should extract successfully.
Note 3: Drag the folder to your Program Files this time.

Then double click Antifail Installation.bat.
Follow his instructions from there.

And that's what I did. The game worked out fine for the most part, but there are certain bugs you should be aware of.

Happy Gaming!

Part 4 has something wrong with it server side. I've tried downloading it from two different locations, and it does not work either time.

Ok, I read through the thread and looked at the different suggestions to get the game to work, including using applocale I still have no luck. I have also tried 3 different translations files... Translations RC 1, RC 2 and antifail patch. It still does not work. Each time I run through one of the translations The game loads up The beginning Caution that is normally in Japanese before Trans. is ran, doesn't show up. Nothing shows up. It goes straight into the start menu. When I try to start the game it does the normal sounds effects still goes to a black screen then returns back to opening menu. Someone please enlighten me as to what I am doing wrong

Hey, I got the game working after two days of fiddling around with it. However, the english patch doesn't work. Tried the antifail and RC1. Changes nothing.

to Onigenki go to Control panel\ Regional and Language settings- then third tab and choose Japanese, reset pc and game will run OR just use applocate.
From my imagin I am end the game rout A i think..was set this
mediafire.com/?8u2nx9xao0q318d patch(easy install and translate switch underware)^_^ oh yeah - do not switch if underw. not install
+underwear patch(not necessary its bad for gameplay and hard to find, only on torrents like isohunt 2gb game(patch 480mb)^-) WELL! trouble was on 8 chapter(good if you do save game on darth-spider) cant save game\load\crash, its fine just not to save until chapter 9, then save correct.
imaginary route BB not tried yet..need time for begin new game.

Follow I215's comment. It worked for me on windows 7 64-bit.

I keep getting an error when I try to use the Antifail installer.
It says that there is an Error in ChaosHead.exe at line 2252.
How can I fix this?

For some reason i tried everything changed my language to japanese, got all these patches and other stuff and yet Still! my screen goes black and returns to the menu after i press start idk what im doing wrong its just depressive ._.

There is this one problem I have with this game, I'm sure it's a stupid mistake on my part but anyway.

When i start the game it runs perfect with the patch and all, but the CAUTION text in the begining is in Japanese and it's the same for the movie in the intro

Can anyone help me?

Please help me i download the game and installed it. my problem is the patch i patch the game and it's still in Japanese with English letter every now and then please help me i been trying to play this for the better half of the day.

Please upload Yami no Koe series ...

Cant download part 3. Seems like its broken. thx

I seriously cant download from fileserve. damn they always say I'm currently downloading when I havent even download anything. gt other mirrors?

what do i do with the .ISO i have download everything

i need help a couldn't download the NoDVD patch

ok i've done all that now i run the Glorious Installation and it tell me to reinstall the game becase there was an error in line 2252 i have reinstalld the game but still says the same hlep pleas

oddly enough the issue I have with this game seems to happen near the end of chapter seven (I believe), in which I'm no longer able to load any saves after a certain event. I was wondering if anyone else had this issue and had it fixed.

Ummmmmmmmmmm hello, so far i have "Installed it used the antifail ect" But when i go into it its all in japanese, im kinda nooby so how do i get it to be in english. i know its not in the settings or whatever :)
Please help~

I've already downloaded everything already. Can run the game in original jap language with the voice everything ok. but when I try to run the setup for the eng patch, it says game not found even though I extract the patch to my game folder directly. btw I using RC2. any ideas?

Am I the only one here who isn't having any problems with installing/playing the game? Mine is working perfectly :|

Thank you for this upload! ^-^
Do you know if you will be putting up Steins;Gate?

for some reason i tried this :
1. run applocale as administrator, then install this game
2. run applocale as administrator, then install LSC patch
3. run english translation RC2 as administrator
4. run chaos;head with applocale

and then, boom!
nothing comes out, ever
the program works if run without applocale,
but then the start button does nothing, except redirecting back to title page

any idea what's wrong?

maybe its help... in applocale choose- 日本語

Hello Admin,

Could I ask what is the version of the English Patch of Chaos Head ?

SeerHu

For those who are having problems try upgrading your CCCP then try installing again...that worked for me!

this is just dumb, for some reason deamon tool will not accept the ISOs. so can someone plz explain to me y this is happening n tell me how to fix it -.-

For those who stil have problems.

1- install the game
2- make a copy of "cg.npa" in game folder
3- run patch RC1
4- unzip patch RC2
5- get back the previously copied file "cg.npa" in game folder

it's a pain but perfecly works for me.
the cautions informations are still in japanese but the game's full english translated.

Where is Rc2 anyways? The voices and BGM won't work when I download and crack it either. The translation also doesn't work for me for some reason. Could someone please tell me what I'm doing wrong and how to fix it?

Yea what Kei Said. Could someone explain it? I installed it and everything and i get some kind of error like 1507 or something.

And Whats Cg.npa I Downloaded it and never got something like that :(

I could open the game and all but uhh... I don't understand about the English patch

*sigh* if I still didn't manage to use the english patch I have to learn Japanese than... cause this game is also made by Nitro+ that also made Demonbane and Stein's Gate... both of it have some mysterious storyline has a really good ost X3

That link will give the file for you to use the english patch

This is known bug, and it doesn't seem like it'll be fixed anytime soon. just save before you enter that chapter, and play until you reach chapter 8 - you'll be able to save again.

*Spoiler*

Ok, I finally got game to work, but now I have another issue I got all the way to chapter 6 and I'm at the skyscraper scene where takumi is being forced to find his Di-sword. I got through the yes/no part of it and at the emotion choice scene after that and no matter what I pick be it green red or niether right after seira says you don't want to die, right-o? It goes to the start menu every time... has this happened to anyone else and/or does anyone know of a solution?

who to use this translation,i don;t know how to use,if u got this game crack in english post in hotfile,rapidshare or filesonic,other than that been disable in my country like fileserve,megaupload,................

I followed the instructions and when I press start on the menu, I get a black screen and it comes back to the menu. Any ideas what's going on?

Links to parts 3 and 4 are broken :(

I have a problem with the game after i install it and try to play an error message in japanese and the only words i recognize
are direct3d and directx.i don't know what the probleem is but i played this game a year ago and it worked but since than my computer was rebooted and when i installed the game recently that error appeared for the first time can someone help me with this problem because i really want to play this game again.

is the menu not translated or i did something off?

I couldn't find an apropriate place to ask, so i'll ask here:Why don't you upload files on places with no waiting between downloads like RapidShare or MediaFire? Or are they supposed to be payed for?

Ok I am clearly missing something here, I have followed the instructions, read the readme and I'm having problems. I can run the game just fine, it loads and runs but the patch hasn't been properly installed. What I did was basically unzip the entire contents into the game folder of the original installation and that was it. I tried using the installer but it kept coming up with an error saying there's a problem with the launch app (which there isn't). So what the hell am I doing wrong and why is the game still displaying Japanese?

Can anyone help me?
I've installed the game and all and it works, but once I get past the intro movie in the part where the view of the MC shifts to the ceiling of his room the game stops the crashes.

Can anyone give me advice on how to fix this?

I'm sorry but your instructions aren't very clear to me.

Hey guys I'm just wondering ( I got the game to work English patch and all ) but how come I'm missing the extra button in the main menu? Do I have to complete the game or something?

I finally got it installed but now I'm having the same problem as Oldguy. Can somebody help?

do u need the anti-fail patch for this game?

Wouldn't it be easier to put a definitive instillation instructions into the downloaded files or posted somewhere instead of letting everyone guess at it? I've waded through these comments and none of the numerous "solutions" I've tried have helped. Here are the examples of some of my outcomes.

1) game starts. Config menu partially translated. In game text is gibberish.

2) Game starts. Config menu all translated but unclickable. Click new game then game just returns to title screen.

3) Game won't start at all.

I have RC1, RC2, antifailpatch. I've tried every which way there is on those patches. I've tried applocale. My regional setting is on Japan.

Please if anyone has the game working and translated could you post how you got it done. Beginning with installation step by step. I would really appreciate it and i'm sure there would be no more posts on how to get the game working after that.

i dont even get it how to patch and i cant find rc 2

for me it didnt translate at ALL!!!!!

Thanks alot to whoever uploaded and made this website, it really saves me alot of time.

You guys whoever you are have my earnest gratitude

erm..Admin sir, have you played it before? if so, could you explain a bit about the installation? thx before

2) Game starts. Config menu all translated but unclickable. Click new game then game just returns to title screen.

You have to install Microsoft AppLocale Utility and run the .exe through it:
http://www.microsoft.com/download/en/details.aspx?id=13209

I didnt get the config menus translated but this helped:
http://tlwiki.tsukuru.info/index.php?title=Category:Chaos;Head:Graphics:System

I can't consider this game an eroge... It's a great visual novel. Ok, I know that there only are 2 main routes, the good ending, and you killed... But this one makes you think. If you can understand Takumi's feelings, you might even begin doubting about your belief of reality (Not so far as the novel, but you will surely think about it). Manga and anime versions are... easier? I would really like to play any other visual novels like this one...
(Don't talk about kara no shoujo... It doesn't change the slightiest your way of thinking, nor makes you doubt about everything)

I have gotten the game to the point that it will run in English with the RC1 translation patch. The only problem is that when i save and quit the save file is not present when i try to load it. I have changed the .exe file to allow me to run in xp service pack as well as run as admin. I have also changed applocale to do the same. I have tried everything possible but I still cannot seem to save. Any tips are appreciated. Thanks.

Sooooo, I'm trying to install it, but it keeps asking me for a key that I don't have. I'm kinda new to these kind of things.. I must be missing something, right?

it seems that the guys translating went to work in just USA so no more free translating from now on also they took their patches offline

I've installed the game and the patch, but when I try to start the game up, I get an error.
Would someone mind helping?

I'm having the whole time a 1503 error.. what does that mean?

RC2 patch is the last patch. this is will do...

and so.. I follow the instructions.. run the patch... run ChaosHead.exe... and VOILA! BLACK SCREEN with sounds... T_T plss anybody help me how to get rid of this black screen thing~~ my OS is win 7. ANY HELP WOULD BE APPRECIATED~~

Ummmm....Game installed fine, but after I did the patch and everything the game ran but when I clicked start it just when right back the same menu?! What?!

Okay Got the game to start, but now the text is still in Japanese....somebody please help me out.

Phew got it to work....I had to use AppLocale. Man what a bother, oh and the menus aren't translated but I understand a bit of it so there shouldn't be a problem. Unless there's another way to fix that....

Woah!! the main character was a super paranoid coward, huh

where on EARTH can I find rc2?

ah loll. just watch the anime. get confused with so many errors

Everything installed fine for me. Although i do get that black screen bug, everytime at about 1 minute into the game. I've reinstalled a few times now and it keeps happening. The RC2 and 3 patches dont seem to be out anymore either. So if you have this bug, are you basically out of luck?

For all who have problems with starting the game (click to start and back to start menu).
-install the game and do not crack it
-use Antifal patch
-in Control Panel/Regional and Language Options select Languages tab and check Install files for East Asian languages (cd for widows is required and restart)
-start game with AppLocale select japanise

for error 1200 something... do not exit game in fullscreen mode change to window and then exit ( if needed reinstal game and repatch it). Works on XP

This is the only game from this site that i have problems with. Has anyone got this to work on Vista 64 bit? The black screen bug is driving me insane.

Does anyone know if this game is any different from the anime show?

I installed the game but when I try to install the english patch and enter the liscence number, I receive an error saying that the script test failed, error at line 2252. Please advise how I can fix this. Thanks.

anyone, or hopefully admin,

i got a problem wherein the game crashes just after the opening movie, wherein he turns his gaze up from his chair in his room, it crashes then a "dont send or send error report" shows after the game closes. anyone who could help me will truly be my savior thanks guys,...

I am so confused. Let's start with the base game: I tried doing the plain old game installation and I tried DirectX installation then the game installation, but when I try to start the game I get a 1503 error. Please help!!

I am using RC2, and my game keeps crashing at the same spot. After leaving the hospital and getting back to my room, it crashes soon after. It gives me that common windows popup that says the program had an error and "would you like to report this to microsoft?".

I was surprised how easy it was to get RC2 all set up, I simply clicked it and it took care of the rest...but now this happens. Help PLEASE, I love this game!

does that game actually work? because after reading all the comments i'm starting to feel insecure about it

It did when I was playing it a few months back. I never got around to finishing it though as I got interrupted by some new games. Having just beat Steins;Gate and loving it I think I'll be trying this one again since it was pretty fun the parts I played.

It does work. Problem is that you need to put some files from the patch into your system32 folder for it to work.

Simple instructions for patch.

1.) Extract all into a new subfolder in Chaos;head
2.) Copy all contents that were extracted.
3.) Paste all into the Chaos;Head folder.
4.) Navigate to system32 folder (i.e c:/windows/system32
5.) paste into system32.
6.) Run Glorious Instalation Batch
7.) answer to question is "trickquestion" without the quoutes.
8.) If you don't know what soft or hard subs are type Hard.
9.) next question type yes
10. Wait for batch to say its finished.
11.) Run C;H Crack exe.
12.) Enjoy your paranoia.

\o/-_-_-

Sorry,post what in system32,I dun get it...

I'd like to know, do I need to extract all of the English patch files and is everything and crass in order for the game to work? Please advise. Thanks.

Okay new problem. The game appears to be working just fine but when I get to the last part of the prologue and opening movie I only get a black screen with sound and no picture or subtitles. I am so frustrated. How may I fix this?

I give up on trying to install this!

i get it to install but the crack wont work. it opens a black box and has an error then closes. Like i get all the way to the screen asking for an activation code but then Im screwed

Right im running RC2 patch, and locale is set to japanese ive got it all running with some ease but in the game menu when i press the start button it just goes black and returns to the menu someone help ive tried everything and its not like im new to this i have 40 + eroge games all working fine... plz any help will be grateful

does anybody know if there is a walkthrough out there

Okay, so I've installed it properly. The english patch works, too. But the game crashes sometime after the start of Chapter 1. At the part where the room is shown and "the backrest of the chair I was leaning against creaked" Then, the game stops responding. Can anyone help?

How and where can I get the RC2 patch ?? Can someone please help ?? Those who managed to make the game work please don't keep it all to yourselves ..

Well I got mine to work,by playing in a different resolution! As i mentioned above,my game kept crashing at a specific part...but now for the hell of it it I tried running it at a higher resolution than 800X600,and it is working fine! As soon as i change the resolution back, it crashes again! WTF? Using RC2 by the way.

I have downloaded the game, but it won't install
Can anybody give me some help?

Okasy so I've got everything downloaded and extracted. Currently trying to install the game with my locale set to Japan. However the game asks for a CD Key. Where do i get that?

is this H-game??

every time I start the game it try loads for to seconds and then the window close

Aww qq, is this game in english? for me worked perfectly but its in japanese D:

Also, you need to change your locale settings to Japan to install the game. I've heard you can do this with AppLocale, but many operating systems let you do this without an additional program. In Windows, you can usually change this through the control panel. Just look up "how to change locale settings in (your operating system)".

i dl it .. i wanted to try it first without the english patch but when i start it it open with a balck screen and it closes..
can you help me pls

Two notes. When following the link to get the NoDVD patch, you have to copy the entire line and paste it into your address bar. If you just click the link, it will not take you to the right place. Also, the smiley face with sunglasses that looks like 8) is supposed to be an 8 with a parenthesis after it, that looks like this 8 ) without the space in between; the text processor this site uses automatically turned it into the smiley face though.

Why! whywhywhywhywhywhy!
My game crashes after finishing chapter 9, third melt!
Just goes poof!

i get an answer that i should patch it with rc2 but where do i find it..

This game was AMAZING. I thought it'd just be something to pass the time...and the first part of it was slow/creepy, so I really wasn't expecting much...but W-O-W. I'd place this game second after Ever 17...it was THAT good!!!

Theres a better anti-fail english patch lurking around the internet.Find it, and may your days of suffering finally come to an end. (^_^)

So far, I've tried quite a couple patches and ways to play this. For some odd reason, applocale won't let me run the installer (error about "applocale was unable to launch the , so i have to run it under normal settings. after i do so, I copy-pasta the NoDVD .exe, then patch the game (tried with all of the patches available). Then, I proceed to run the game without applocale, and I get the problem in which when i click on start game, i go back to the main menu, so i run it with applocale, but absolutely nothing shows up on my screen. The process, however, does show in the task manager > processes, so i can stop the proces, but i can't get it to show up. Any help is much appreciated.

Hello dears,
I also had the problem with the black screen in the intro but I don't want to keep my secrets for myself:
as previously mentioned you can install CCCP- Codecs Pack but I didn't do that (if you have another codecs-pack installed and you have forgotten and you install CCCP it may crash your computer - that's why I didn't want to install).
Instead I simply pushed the "STRG-button" to skip the intro somehow. It didn't work the first time, so I tried several times, then the intro skips (you also miss a few sentences the girl said, but it didn't bother me)and the game runs neatly.

I'm not too far into the game but there seems to be something that is really slowing down the text loading. I first noticed this when his little sister checks up one him. During the scene, sets of text seems to take a very long time to play, sometimes taking 10 seconds to a minute to continue and then when he goes on a "date" with Yua the same long intervals return.
I've play around with the settings and played on different computers but still same issue. At this rate I'm spending more time waiting for the text to appear than actually reading it.
Is anyone else having long text loading times usually during scenes when he with a girl?

OMG THANKS ADMIN YOU LISTENED :p

asked yesterday if you could reup chaos head and you did :p

thanks

What the hell are you people smoking?

Only things you need to do in order to install this:

1.Mount dvd
2.Install Game
3.Install English patch exe (copy it into your installation directory first c:/program files/nitroplus/chaos head)

4.PLAY

Works 100%

I have downloaded the game and followed instructions but for some reason I keep getting this error that starts with Direct3D. Anybody have any ideas? Thank you!

I tried the RC2 and it crashes in the middle of installation. crage.exe has stopped working. Does this happen to anyone else?

I am unable to extract the files. It says part 2 is corrupt, so the ISO file won't extract.

Excuse me I cant seem to install the game. I downloaded everything and succesfully extracted the ISO. i opened the iso with winrar archiver and extracted the CHSetUp.exe. but I can't install because the Japanese installer requires some sort of CD.key

okay nevermind i found the code its 000-702-000-114 those with product/cd key problems just type control F on this page and type key. it should direct you to your nearest comment. Thanks much

If the files are corrupted you just redownload them. I downloaded all 7 parts at first part 6 was corrupted so i redownloaded the corrupted parts and my game is working smoothly now

Am I too stupid? >_< "crage.exe" doesn't work :< The error appears when I try to install the RC2 patch

For some reason around Ch 7 and up , any new save get corrupt, everytime i try to load them it gives me an error and shuts the game. anyone know how to fix this?

Thank you for upload this awesome game, but I have a problem with the translation patch.

When I run it into the game folder, it ask me to press a key to continue, I do it an then a window appears saying that crage.exe has crashed, here is a screenshot:

http://s2.subirimagenes.com/otros/7408529sin-ttulo.jpg

At the end the patch say that there is an error and the patch windows get closed, when I start the game after that the menu screen get all black and I cant even close the window

I need help, please, I watn to play this Visual novel D:!

admin some people are having serious issues running this game. i have tried several methods recommended by others here, and nothing seems to work. i am running windows 7 64 bit, any advice or help?

Ok. I am overly confuzed. I've read through all the comments and mine still doesnt work. I have already successfully installed the japanese version and i am trying to do the english patch. I tried just combining the pastch files into the original game and it didnt work. i still got japanese. i tries reading the readme file and it didnt tell me anything. what is a LCS? also what is the Glorious Instalation Batch that people have been talking about? i have been trying to get the english patch working for about an hour...gave up and is now looking for help...please help.

Anyone? A way to get after the third melt? And start the 10th chapter?

it seems link 5 is still dead. the download won't start for me.
is this only happening for me?

0.) You may need to be in adminmode or have folder right(vista/win7)
1.) download
2.) extract
3.) change to jp unicode
4.) mount
5.) install
6.) crack
7.) move "Chaos_Head_English_Translation_RC2" to CHOAS;HEAD/dx and extract
8.) run setup.exe

Worked for me, have XP SP3.

No errors so far, played the game around 20min.

Is it possible to play this game on Mac? I've been trying for several hours and I can't figure out a way to do it.

Do i need the English patch(RC 2)that is given in this page only ?I find your guys saying about RC 1 and other similar things ? Do i need them to play the game?If they are required, please give me a link to download.

TO ANYONE WHO'S HAVING TROUBLE WITH THE ENGLISH PATCH!!!!

FIRST, MOUNT AND INSTALL THE GAME!!!

THEN, YOU JUST NEED TO EXTRACT THE ENGLISH PATCH.RAR
IN C:/PROGRAM FILES/NITROPLUS/CHAOS;HEAD/dx!!!

THEN, RUN THE SETUP BATCH!!!!!!!!!!

I can install the original game and it works perfectly. My system locale is already set to Japanese.

The problem arises when I try to run the patch.
I have copied the RC2 patch program into C/ProgramFiles (x86)/Nitroplus/Chaos;Head and then run the patch as administrator.

This opens the program for the patch which runs normally until Windows says "crage.exe has stopped working" and closes the program. This happens twice and the patch program crashes or closes, I am unable to tell.

After this I try to open Chaos;Head and the translated disclaimer pops up and then there is nothing but a black screen instead of the main menu but I still get sound. When I try to exit the program the dialogue box that asks if I wish to exit pops up but contains no options and I am forced to end the task through the task manager.

The original untranslated .npa files have been moved to a backup in the directory but there are no new files to replace them causing the game to function incorrectly.

There are folders that mirror the files that have been relocated in the CHAOSHEAD directory. Upon further inspection one of these does contain the translated cgs and I assume that the other two contain the translated script and the system configurations. However, it seems the game will not recognize these files.

If anyone can help I would be most appreciative.

I have Windows XP and I can't find the "Glorious Installation.bat" file I keep reading about and every time I try to run the patch it says game not found

There is sometimes a fatalerror when you load a save, the game will crush when the error pops up.

To work around it simply load a previous save.

People seriously need to reply to some of the issues at hand one in particular is Kotomibro who is speaking for MANY of the people here who are having problems with the game. Crage.exe keeps crashing for some of us trying to install the game and we want to know why and how to fix it.

OAO i cant play it!!!

the game when opened (not patched yet) just says not enough space and closes itself!! (when i opened it) HEEEEELLLPPPP

Admin do you have the underwear patch? If yes can you by any chance upload it :P

sigh...just....sigh ive tried and tried and tried followed these directions...those directions...and they all result in the patch saying "THERE WAS AN ERROR the game is not here"

screw it ill just go watch the anime.

game running ok.. just the patch translation.. that translation no yet complete.. its just translate opening scene and menu only.. other word all still in japanese.. please add new patch translate english please

I was having probles too, my solution is: Install and use the AppLocale and run the game with it. It worked for me.

After working on trying to get this game to work for quite a bit I think I've figured out a few solutions to problems people are having.
1: Patch not installing because game is not there. My guess is you didn't copy and paste the patch into the game folder, this is so far the only thing that has ever prevented the patch from working for me.
2: Unpatched game refusing to open or patched game's menu is just a black screen. Make sure you're replacing the exe in the game files with the cracked version that's in the first file.
3: The game gets past the first bit and plays the intro video only to crash when you get to the room. My guess is this might be caused by your computer being bad, I tried with all my might to get past this on my windows xp netbook, but nothing I did would fix it, my windows 7 gaming rig never ran into this issue though. That might not be the issue, but changing my computer is the only thing that fixed it, and the room seems to be rendered in 3d so that could be why it's not as easy to run.

I should note that I got the underwear patch installed, so I don't know if that effects anything since by the time I got the game working I was just installing each reinstall, if you really want it there's a torrent I found using google that contains it.
To summarize installation steps:
1.Download everything (plus the underwear patch from another site if so desired)
2. Extract the first rar.
3. Set computer locale to Japanese (proabbly can run installer using aplocale if desired but I didn't try that)
4. Run underwear patch if you have it.
5. Put English patch in game folder and run it.
6. Replace the exe with the cracked version
7. Launch game (Locale needs to still be Japanese)

I think that covers everything and I hope it helps.

out of all the games in this site... this is the only one i cant seem to make work...

It appears that a fixed version of the patch has been uploaded. I have installed it and the game runs perfectly as far as I can tell so far.

Gotta say, it was worth all of this effort so that I could see the un-adulterated, not de-gored for TV version of Chaos;Head.

And with that I bid you fellows adieu. Many thanks towhoever uploaded the fixed patch.

Game crashes when I get to a certain point... Is there a way to fix this? I seem to be unable to go past this point. Game simply closes.

I'm kinda curious I recall a patch that made the female characters be in undergarments is that included in the patches link?

Links are dead. Is the english patch still buggy? I installed it a while back and I had a lot of trouble with it. For example, you couldn't save on the 7th chapter and the patcher wouldn't let me patch the game on win7. I had to use my old winXP to patch it and transfer the entire game file over using an USB.

Y cant they just do it like the other ones i downloaded and have it already patched for me? this is making way to many problems

mediafire links are dead! please re-up thanks :)

all links are dead

ive replaced the normal chaos head.exe with the one from the patch and its still in japanese, can anyone tell me what ive done or am doing wrong

where i can download a the underwear patch

I can't go any way beyond the menu. This never happened to me before. o.o

All the MF download parts are down, can someone please reupload this? I'd love to play this game. thx in advance.

What does the underwearpatch do?

Where is MEdiafire file plzz Upload again mediafire

the MF files were removed due to violation :(

please help i downloaded all
then i did english patch it
then i copied the cracked to the folder
and now i open it. it say : "please turn off debuggers then try again"
i dont have any debugger on processes. still dont work
help please T_T

I am having the Crage.exe issue with the english patch, I have read over the comments listed here and nothing posted has been able to help. During the patching it'll tell me Crage.exe cannont be installed due to whatever issues, and then the patching goes through anyways. When I boot up the game I get the black screen when it goes to the menu, with the music playing but nothing else.

What I've done is:

-Installed the game
-Put english patch into game folder and ran it (this is where the error occurs)
-Put the crack into the gamefolder overwriting the previous one

I have also tried just using crack and game and the game runs fine in japanese, so it is definitly an english patch issue.

Also yes I have set Locale to Japanese. Any help would be appreciated.

To everyone that has the "Crage.exe" problem.
I had the same problem and I assume that you like me, have Windows 7?

if that is the case:
-install the game in your pc(anywhere).
-copy the crack in that folder
-copy the RC2.exe in the same folder but do not run it yet.
-copy the folder into a usb drive.
-plug the usb to a pc/laptop with windows vista.
-run the translation patch.
-when the patch finishes transfer the files back to your computer.

I only saw the prologue and OP video.When the 1st chapter started I stopped playing so I dont know if there are any errors later.

I dont know if this will work with windows XP.This is the first time I had to do something like this.(Vista work,7 dont wtf?)

Give us mediafire links please. ty.

I got it running on the first try, I just used applocale. for the translation, as the guys said above, you have to copy it to the folder you installed it in and run it from there. Oh yeah, it's a good idea to not install it in the Program files, as for me, I installed it to my external drive.

but I do have one problem... When I got to his room, it's all blurry, it hurts my eyes. Could it be a hardware problem or is it really like this?

The part 7 download doesn't seem to be working properly.
(DA-Free)

ADMIN!
Make a walkthtough!! XD

Hey Admin
when I installed the patch the character's aren't appearing. they only appear on CGs.


It's kind of a bother.

Can anyone fix this bug or something.

I hard patch it.

btw The only time character's appear in dialogues is when I first met Misumu-kun.

if i download all the smalled parts...1-7, how do i put them together?

is part 1 rar working? Every time extract it gives me " data error chaoshead\CHAOSHEAD.ISO file is broken".
Am I doing something wrong?

i've followed&tried all the instruction here but i still can't play the game....each method always ended up with a black "CHAOS;HEAD English RC2" screen and it's stuck until i end it with task manager
someone please tell me what should i do.....

how do i install the 7 parts?

I have a problem when i extract the game with Daemoon tools and start download , i not have problem but at one stage of downloading, they ask me 4 codes to 4 digits

Hello everyone !

I had a problem with characters that dont show after dialog with the "friend" at school.

The problem comes from the "underwear" option in the game settings. The problem is that de saves got corrupted the moment you activate this option... You have to start a new game without the underwear option to be able to see characters... ( tried just a moment ago to confirm )

The other problem that ocur with this option is that there's some random and long freeze during dialogs. Without the option the freeze time mostly disapear ( there's always some but it's less than 1sec and doesnt hurt the game ).

I think the problem comes from "missing links to characters CGs" in the english patch ( i'll confirm this if i start a game without the english patch, but at the moment, i'm lazy xD )

@klekle9 You have to extract them w/ WinZip or something else to combine the files. Then mount the ISO on a virtual drive and run the set-up exe. I use Daemon Tools lite for this but there are others like Alchohol 100%. Of course make sure that after you install Daemon tools or something similar first create a virtual drive so you can mount the ISO w/c is basically a virtual DVD.

Anyone... What is the means of these download links? I'm confused~ :/

if my memory correct... isn't there a sequel from this series??? if you could, would you upload it even if in category partial translate? thanks before

There's an issue with downloading Chaos;Head's part 3. It says the file has been removed. Please fix this, I really want to play this VN as I really liked the anime.

If you're not sure how to install the parts, just download WinRAR and it'll do it for you. It took me a while to comprehend that, so I almost screwed up my Shuffle! and Higurashi no Naku Koro ni visual novels. Just download WinRAR, download all the parts then go into one of the part's RAR files and right click the folder. You will get an option to extract everything in it, just do so and WinRAR will automatically extract all the other parts too. You'll notice while WinRAR extracts it says "Extracting Part1.rar" or whatever then it will say "Extracting Part2.rar" or whatever.

Seriously though, please fix part 3.

Okay... so I figured out that the downloading parts problem was just I can't download more than two of the files from that site at once... I'm an idiot... I don't know how to add the english patch... or really I don't know where to put it.

i read the comments above about problems with RC2 translation patch but i myself hv no issue with it.
im using windows 7.

all i need is to install the game then extract the noDVD crack.
after that i just run the RC2 translation patch, wait some minutes and done.

the game work fine and there are no Spirit/CG issue at all.

hey admin, I was wondering if you were gonna get robotics;notes when it comes out, and if it's gonna be translated right away

on the screen I can't see any characters when they are talking in the text box. Is that normal? I don't see how the underwear patch will work if i can't see the characters except for during cg. If im suppose to see the characters, is there a way to fix it because i don't even know what the characters look like as im playing. T.T

I have a problem with chapter 3 u,u
Admin, please fix that chapter~ TTuTT

Am haveing a problem it seems that when i save on chapter 7 and try to load back i keep getting an error messegae, anyone know how to fix this?

hey Ivan do you have underwear patch for this game??? only thing that is missing.

plz help me i can't save my game and im still in cahpter 1 !!!

I've finally figured out how to install Chaos;Head after half a year of stocking this in the far reaches of my
Hard Drive ..

You'll need :

The game ( all six parts )
The most recent english translation
and the version of crass you can find in the comments ( just search through the past comments until you find a download link ( I'll also
try to upload it somewhere after I learn how to do it ) )


First thing you need to do is make sure you have a " Japanese " locale installed .. If you don't know what that is,
go to your " Regional and Language " settings and select " Japanese (Japan) " from the drop down box in " System Locale "
( Don't confuse it with " Formats " and " Current Location ", You'll find it if you look hard enough ) ..

Now that the " base " is done, extract the ISO you get when you extract the 6 parts you've downloaded and select the CHSetup.exe

That'll start the install wizard, just do what you normally do when installing .. For convenience's and organizing's sake,
choose another loaction for the game ( select " browse " when a C: something appears in the install screen .. )

Enter the code you activation code you'll find at the top .. If you're too lazy, it's " 000-702-000-114 ", when
that's done, just wait for it to finish ..

Next thing you'll need to do is put the " English Translation RC2 ( That's the english patch you've downloaded ) "
in the folder you've chosen ( the default is in " C: Program Files(x86)-Nitroplus ", just double click it, select yes
when prompted, and wait for it to extract, after it's finished, the cmd will appear, DON'T PRESS ANYTHING !!, just leave it like that,

Go to the folder that should appear after you've run the English Patch named. well. " patch " .. Delete the " crass " folder ..

After doing that, extract the crass that you've downloaded and move the " crass-0.4.1.4.0 " to the " patch " folder
( I don't know if it would matter, but rename the crass-0.4.1.4.0 to folder to " crass " ) ..

This is the nervous waiting period before the moment of truth .. Select the cmd that you've left untouched and press any key .. Wait until
you're asked to press something again ..

The Moment of Truth is here .. Run the CH.exe, Pray, and if you see that the 5pb logo is gone and the disclaimer is in English,
Congratulations !! you can now play this piece of art ..



I hope I helped ..


P.S. You'll probably want to save a copy of the whole game folder in a hard drive or something, for safety and paranoia
purposes ..


( Disclaimer : I THINK ( big emphasis on THINK, so try it without messing with your computer first )
this might not work on Windows 7 Professional unless you've downloaded and run the directx_Jun2010redist
from Microsoft ( which is very easy to do ), cause, well, Professional wasn't made for games to begin with .. )

The 3rd rar is not working plz fix it.

i can't find the crass 0.4.1.4.0 can you put the link please

well somehow i installed the game but i can't play.
when i press the "start" button and i get in the main menu of the game ... i don't know what to do now

Hi! (sorry for my english ( ＞Д＜；) ) I've installed the game and runs perfectly in japanese but I have a problem with the english patch ( >____< ) I've been looking for the crass download link but it is host on megaupload ( u__u ) and we know what happend with it ( ;A;)

Would someone please upload the crass file mentioned by Hikari? I've looked through the posts and apparently the original crass file was hosted on MU...

Thanks in advance! :)

I downloaded the DA-1click: Game Download and the English translation patch but when I open the Application it opens for about a few Seconds then closes itself what do I do?

I am a 12th class student. My school wifi connection does not allow me to download video files larger than 10 mb. I have tried downloading using certain proxy sites. IDM starts downloading the file but the process is terminated admist , hence i am unable to download anything of my interest. What should i do to download files larger than 100 mb using my school's wifi connection?

udp://tracker.publicbt.com:80/announce

This is the crass I mentioned .. Since I have no clue if this will work .. Please help me .. Oh .. I'm also only scarcely online .. So you'll have to have to try your luck ..

can someone help? i downloaded all the parts and clicked on the chaoshead.exe file which was in the crack file and nothing happened the chaos head application came up for about 2 seconds then closed and that kept on happening every time i clicked on chaoshead.exe

Part7: Error-> page seems to be down :(

( http: ) //www (.) mediafire (.) com/?i42heldagc6na2t


Delete all the ( )s and spaces .. This is for that crass I've mentioned ..

*Sigh* I've been trying to get this game to work, on and off, for about a year now.

I redownloaded everything tonight and I was excited because everything finally seemed to work. I was even able to start the game. I then managed to get through all that dialogue with the main character was on the ground. Then the whole screen went black and (I'm assuming) a video started playing. Thing is, I couldn't see anything, and I lost the ability to click on anything related to the game's window, including the "X" to close out the game. I could still hear the dialogue and everything. Eventually the dialogue ended (I'm assuming an opening would of had music, right? Well there wasn't any music during this time)and I regained "control" of the game and could click things again. Problem was, the screen was still completely black, and now, also, without sound.

I'm assuming it's some kind of codec issue with playing the movie. My Codecs are all up-to-date, however; likewise, I've never seen a VN whos' opening I couldn't play, that didn't crash. So I've no idea what the problem could be. I've looked around and didn't really find any answers. Maybe someone here can help me.

TL;
Screen goes black as if I can't play a movie, however the VN doesn't crash and I can still hear the audio. HALP!!!!

P.S.
Is there suppose to be a "video" folder? Because I don't see one.

parts 4 and 7 seem to be down from the DA-free game download link. Any help or updates on that?

hi i managed to download this game and it was working fine but for some reason all the sprites have stopped appearing i looked at game play on youtube and sure enough they were there but not on mine ive got windows 7 home premium and ive played the game with admin rights and in compatibility for win vista like it says in the comments but its not working and i cant figure it out thanks for your help

ok its a bit embarrassing but it seems its cuz i had the lingerie mode on which doesn't seem to work that the sprites didnt come up lol >.> for some reason whenever something goes wrong with with one of the games i dl from here it can usually be fixed by retracing not my steps but my libido...tho i doubt im the only one with that prob >.>

Hello, I have a problem with this game so help me please, if you can.

So this is the problem: I did everything as was instructed, but I did not get a crack folder, i thought that maybe it was not necessary, so I started the game and it worked, but the problem is I can't do anything in the config and when I star the game it just takes me back to main screen.

so I ask you again, please help if you can.

Can anyone upload a 100% Save data on this?
Can't really seem to get 100% CG and am too lazy to play this again and again :p

I keep getting a black screen when I try to play it. I have tried on 2 computers now, following the above instructions as carefully as possible. The music plays but the screen is all black and I can't even close the game, as a box shows up but no words in it.

I'm having a problem installing the english patch. I do everything that the instructions says and I always get the same error message from the CMD window. The CMD window never installs basically, the error message itself states that it's not in the game folder and it cannot download, when it clearly is. Now I've uninstalled and reinstalled the game many times trying different combinations to get pass the error but it always says the same thing even though I have it in the game folder. I've even tried moving the setup.bat file to many different folders within the game folder and that didn't work. Any ideas of what's going on?

I have a problem here..
I have smoothly followed the instructions posted here and successfully run the game but there's no sprites!!
I suspect is it because of LCS patch? Because I didn't have it or installed it along with RC2?

I have had a problem. When I pressed "start game", I had returned into the start menu

Mmm, I fail to see the problems people have with installing this. For me it was just Install game->Install patch->It works?

Using Win 7 btw, just recommending to people trying out all these methods to try doing the basic install first, it just might work for you.

i can't even start the game... i've replaced chaoshead.exe with the patch exe and when i try to run the game i get the message "Please turn off debugger! and try again.". i've googled for answer but couldn't find any. what to do? :(

Is this game worth playing if you've already watched the chaos;head anime?

Part 7 seems to not be working

please reload the part 7

The parts are sometimes NOT available .. Just try it in different times ..

Part 4 is down :(

I have the problem running win7 enterprise i did everything as told but cant do anything in config and when i pusj the start button i see a black screen und little time later i will back to the main menu its really frustrating

hm i did exactly what hikari said(i took me installing and unstalling about 5 times until i undrestood what he said)... but for some reason when i press the start button it goes back to the title again..

i have the game running perfectly till now i dlld it a million years ago and just installed it but im curious... many people say that the game just dies on chapter 9... is this true? i dont want a story that will crash me at the ending

can upload the crass file can't find the download the site says file removed by user or is missing

I tried the links for the English patch and Part 7 but I just get HTML files rather than the exe and rare files, respectively. Fix please?

I have this same issue with the start menu repeating, and so for a few people said the solve it, but no one has posted how they solved it or up a step to step thing to do. Can someone post it up what they did so I can do it too. Because I'm becoming lost what to do.

For those who are returned to the main menu after pressing start game:

There's not a clear solution to this (that's why there are no answers on how to work around it) however some possible causes might be.

-Use of Jap locale program or a similar one
PLEASE, DON'T USE THIS, REGARDLESS OF HOW FOND YOU ARE OF THIS TOOL, IT HAS KNOWN ISSUES WITH SEVERAL VN'S (SAVE YOURSELF THE TROUBLE AND CHANGE YOUR LOCAL LANGUAGE MANUALLY UNDER WINDOWS LANG SETTINGS.

-local language is not japanese
I know it should be obvious, but please double check if your local language is indeed set to japanese.

-Faulty video codecs
Download as much video codecs as you can, LOTS of em.

-Admin/permission rights
you'll need an unlocker tool of sorts and apply it on the game's exe. (not yet confirmed if it works or not)

-DVD iso image load
you need a no DVD cracked exe, otherwise the game will kick you back to main screen. alternatively, keep the iso mounted on daemon tools you'll be able to load the game that way but you'll need to mount the iso everytime before you play.

-Win vista/win 7 x64 bits
Not confirmed if this is an issue or not (the game runs fine on both my x64 PC's..

Hey! I made a tutorial on how to install this game, so if you need any help downloading and installing it, please visit out blog! You can either click my name or go to sasugasugoi.blogspot.com!

does this have h scenes?

I can't get it to work, at all, on Windows 7 x64. When I hit the "Install Game" button, nothing happens. The installer shuts down. There's no black screen, no error message, nothing. The whole thing just...stops.

I wound up getting a preinstalled version elsewhere, and the game doesn't start up at all, with the same issues as the installer. No error messages, no pop-ups of any sort.

My system locale is set to Japanese, I've tried running as an administrator, I've tried AppLocale, and I've tried every compatibility mode in the list. Any ideas?

Is this a hentai game?

can someone upload or share a link of the underwear patch, the links provided here are dead, thanks

awesome game, enjoy it =)

can someone tell me where it makes the save file on windows 7

Thanks for the upload, it works for me. Anyone know what's the diff between Auto and Skip mode?

Please help! I accidentally installed the game, then uninstalled it because I'm an idiot who didn't read the readme. After reading it and getting everything done, I tried to re-install the game and it keeps coming up with a box with a whole bunch of question marks and a 1.

man, this game is problematic..

my problem is, after the op at some point in chapter 1, the game crash.. running on Win 7, Professional, 32 bit..

Sorry. Okay, so. It's working now. I had to reload an earlier save. Also, I read somewhere that you cannot save on Chapter 7. That's the reason why every time I try to load a save, it crashes.

hey thanks . i downloading right now LOL. by the way it's really tough way to install this . but once again thanks :)

Downloading, thanks for upload in 1 link.

i've install the game , but it wont start >< everytime i click start it wont start, anyone can help ?? thx b4

I downloaded all the parts and the English patch, but when I opened the set-up of the patch it gave me an error message, but when I hit enter again a message that I couldn't read (it disappeared too fast) came-up, then closed itself and took away all the programs, leaving me with just the game.

When I double-click on the game it opens, gives a black screen, then closes itself out. I have no idea how to fix this.

i just downloaded the game but i had the same problem with rootless prophecy except the game wont close by it self and it start saying program not responding please help me.... what should i do??

Actually, after translating it does not work. If someone know how to repair that problem I'll be glad if he could contact me.

Got the game working on my first try. If you're having trouble, HikariNoYami's post near the top (the first page) really helps. The crass file is found on tranlator's page (Google Chaos Head Translation and it should be the first link). Hopefully, you should get it working by following the instructions. For me, I have to run the exe using Applocal (run japanese with admin). Absolutely great story. Too bad it had a terrible anime adaptation. Definitely a game I would recommend. Keeps you on your toes and messes with your mind.

whose eyes are those eyes

please help me he told me to install a device

Hi, first of all thanks a lot for sharing this game. The patch worked wonderfully and also thanks for the "crass guide" back there. But I have one small problem, this probably seem like silly question but how do you go into fullscreen mode? The usual Alt+Enter does not work for me and there aren't any fullscreen/windowed option in the config menu either. Thanks in advance.

Hi, I downloaded the game but I have a problem, when I click "Start" in yhe Main Menu, the screen turn black, after that it returns me to the Main Menu.

Hey guys, hopefully there is still someone looking at the comments. I can't seem to get the setup for the english translation to work. Every time I run it it says that it was denied access to several directories. I have tried to run it on admin, but then it says that it is not in the game file. Thank you in advance if anyone knows what to do

Found my problem!

Hi,did someone have a problem with the RC2?? it keep saying something about the \xcopy\, and then when i try to execute the chaos;head.exe, i get a blackscreen and the game close.

*Repost so that new comers can see*

I’ve finally figured out how to install Chaos;Head after half a year of stocking this in the far reaches of my
Hard Drive ..

You’ll need :

The game ( all six parts )
The most recent english translation
and the version of crass you can find in the comments ( just search through the past comments until you find a download link ( I’ll also
try to upload it somewhere after I learn how to do it ) )

First thing you need to do is make sure you have a ” Japanese ” locale installed .. If you don’t know what that is,
go to your ” Regional and Language ” settings and select ” Japanese (Japan) ” from the drop down box in ” System Locale ”
( Don’t confuse it with ” Formats ” and ” Current Location “, You’ll find it if you look hard enough ) ..

Now that the ” base ” is done, extract the ISO you get when you extract the 6 parts you’ve downloaded and select the CHSetup.exe

That’ll start the install wizard, just do what you normally do when installing .. For convenience’s and organizing’s sake,
choose another loaction for the game ( select ” browse ” when a C: something appears in the install screen .. )

Enter the code you activation code you’ll find at the top .. If you’re too lazy, it’s ” 000-702-000-114 “, when
that’s done, just wait for it to finish ..

Next thing you’ll need to do is put the ” English Translation RC2 ( That’s the english patch you’ve downloaded ) ”
in the folder you’ve chosen ( the default is in ” C: Program Files(x86)-Nitroplus “, just double click it, select yes
when prompted, and wait for it to extract, after it’s finished, the cmd will appear, DON’T PRESS ANYTHING !!, just leave it like that,

Go to the folder that should appear after you’ve run the English Patch named. well. ” patch ” .. Delete the ” crass ” folder ..

After doing that, extract the crass that you’ve downloaded and move the ” crass-0.4.1.4.0 ” to the ” patch ” folder
( I don’t know if it would matter, but rename the crass-0.4.1.4.0 to folder to ” crass ” ) ..

This is the nervous waiting period before the moment of truth .. Select the cmd that you’ve left untouched and press any key .. Wait until
you’re asked to press something again ..

The Moment of Truth is here .. Run the CH.exe, Pray, and if you see that the 5pb logo is gone and the disclaimer is in English,
Congratulations !! you can now play this piece of art ..

I hope I helped ..

P.S. You’ll probably want to save a copy of the whole game folder in a hard drive or something, for safety and paranoia
purposes ..

( Disclaimer : I THINK ( big emphasis on THINK, so try it without messing with your computer first )
this might not work on Windows 7 Professional unless you’ve downloaded and run the directx_Jun2010redist
from Microsoft ( which is very easy to do ), cause, well, Professional wasn’t made for games to begin with .. )v

To all people with trouble here’s a condensed guide in order to run ChaosHead on Windows 7/Windows vista.

Thanks to HikariNoYami, for most of the info
here goes:

before installing and all, make sure of the following:

IN ORDER TO BE ABLE TO INSTALL THE GAME:
-Change your system locale to Japanese language
do this under control panel/language settings
(any doubts on this google it)

IN ORDER TO AVOID CRASHES, BLACK SCREENS, BROKEN AUDIO:
-Update DirectX! (seriously most of you don’t know this or you simply ignore it)
-Update your video card’s drivers (this should be common knowledge!)
*IMPORTANT: LOW END/SOME INTEGRATED CHIPS/VERY OLD VIDEO CARDS WON’T WORK WITH THIS GAME (your best bet is to update your hardware, sorry.)
-download and install the latest audio/video codec packs (divx codec packs work great)

IN ORDER TO AVOID OTHER TECHNICAL ERRORS:
-Make sure you are the admin/have admin rights
-if possible avoid running apps or other background programs while installing/playing.

*IMPORTANT*
Download the fixed patch crass-1.0.0.14.0 (Hikari provided a MF link, browse the comments to find it. If you’re feeling lazy here’s the link he posted:

( http: ) //www (.) mediafire (.) com/?i42heldagc6na2t
Delete all the ( )s and spaces

Hold onto this patch for now, we will cover it in the guide.

Now we can proceed to the guide:

-Mount ISO with Daemon tools (if you don’t have it google it and download it, I personally recommend “Daemon Tools Lite”)
-Run setup exe
-enter serial 000-702-000-114
-Install normally, don’t launch game yet
-Put English patch english translation RC2 in game folder and run it.
-A CMD window will pop up.When prompted to press any key to continue DON’T DO ANYTHING, instead open the newly created “patch” folder and erase the “crass” folder
-Remember the fixed patch that i told you to hold onto? well, extract its contents then copy the newly extracted folder called “crass-1.0.0.14.0″ to “patch” folder and rename it to “crass”
-return to CMD menu and press any key, then wait for the
patch to be applied. Press any key when prompted
-Replace the exe with the cracked version (it’s the exe that’s inside the “Crack” folder)
-Launch the game
if the game’s not in english:
a)you screwed up during the CMD installation. REMEMBER TO follow the instructions and BE PATIENT don’t close the damn window!
b)your language locale is not japanese, make sure it does and leave it like that.
-FOR WINDOWS 7 USERS ONLY! (do this if you have trouble launching the game(NO game screen/window visible upon opening the exe)
-run the game “as admin” and under compatibility mode for “Windows vista”"

P.S.

Thanks for helping the other players out like I wanted to Helvetica Standard .. If you see this post then know that you have my extreme gratitude and that I would like to add you in my FB account ..

Hey there is a problem with part 6 ? I can't download it :(

Hey...
It seems I can't load my save game at chapter 7...
It always crash and so on...
Did that happen to you all??

Hey guys have Windows 8 64bit and a little problem here. Could install the game and get it to work with english text, BUT i cant get the Videos to work, which is a major problem. Cause alone in the beginning Scene i cant read half of the text, it just skipps this whole scene, then it skips right to chapter 1, so at least 1/3 of the initial scene is missing. Pls help im desperate to play this

So, I downloaded all the parts and have done everything up to the part where I need to replace the crass-folder. However, the link in the install-guide no longer works, as mediafire claims that the archive is damaged. Thus, I can't get my hand on the updated version which I need.

Any help? Like someone who still has the file might be able to upload it anew? Iunno... I really wanted to try this game, since I was so disappointed with the anime-adaption. ;<

I've done everyrthing according to the guides posted above and it actually works (it starts and the main menu is on english and stuff). But when I click on 'Start', the screen shortly becomes black as if it would start but then goes back to the main menu ... any help? :/

hello, i have done everything as the last guide says...the game ok a can see the intro and the opening of the vn but after tha opening there is a little intro (i dont know) that says whose eyes... after that when he is sit and look up..in that moment the game down and appear a window "CHAOS;HEAD stop working" and it doesnt run anymore :S
someone who can help me please. i wanna read this vn and im trying since 3 days ago to play it T.T

wtf, how to download this? it sucks when i click the link and choose regular download wont start -_-
any other download link ?

そのめだれのめ

Uhh, the sprites won't show. I think it has something to do with me not having the LCS patch (btw, this happens regardless of whether I turn on LCS or not). The mediafire links provided before are dead.. can someone reupload please? thanks

Is this for the 15+ one? I want to make sure before advancing through the game without knowing that there is mild content somewhere along the way. Violence is okay, but I'd prefer not to have the mild content and would like to consider this a work-safe game. Seeing all those recommendations just urges me to play it.

I just get error 1522 every time. I've reinstalled it several times, and am using Japanese locale. Any help?

Game doesn't work for me. At all. If I run the installer, it pops up in the task manager for a few seconds, and then shuts down immediately. I downloaded several preinstalled games from other websites, and have the same issues running the EXE. Help?

Was just wondering if anyone who had it working has had issues with seemingly random long pauses in between dialogue. Majority of the game works with no issues, so this has left me drawing a blank. Only happened early on with conversation with his sister but then happened later a few other times and right now it's seemingly non stop later in the story with Rimi and the two detectives.

This issue is pretty much gamebreaking as I don't enjoy reading 2-3 lines and then having to wait 1-2 minutes to see the next repeatedly for hours.

Haven't really had problems with any VNs or other software so I'm drawing a blank here. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated, this has been one of my favorite reads and would be really bummed to drop it because of this.

As always, I apologize for the long post.

Same case like Akawani
I followed all the instructions above and the game ran.But when I click on ‘Start’the screen went black and then returned to the main menu...

Is it just me or is the opening video supposed be only using 1/3 of the screen when in full screen?

I can't get mine to go full screen

Figured out Full screen. I did everything, the game plays great. But the only part in english so far was the conversation when she was stabbing him on the ground did I do something wrong?

Why is everyone so fucking dumb?
this is easy to install and run compared to other shit.

yea! it happened to me too!!! >:(
you fuo d out the solution yet?

Can anyone help?

I was able to install it but when I run the game, it crashes shortly after starting the first chapter. I can't seem to figure out what happened. Any assistance would be much appreciated. Thanks.

I followed all the instructions properly and got the game running. But as some of the others have already said, I don't see the sprites (I can't believe I realized this after 5 chapters in) and there are random pauses between some lines.

Any help is appreciated.

Can someone help me?d after a certain point in the game, whenever i save in a game, when i try to load it, theres en error.

okay so i got this working on my XPS-M1530 Running Vista OS
And it seemed to be working fine until the murder scene
towards the beginning when it started the pausing/lagging
then this became continuous during the scene where takumi's sister was introduced, so i took all of the necessary files and moved them to a crappy win7 laptop and the lag went away
but the sound(voices and music) stopped working,so again i moved it to an older laptop with XP and it solved the lagging/Pausing but it refused to render part of the opening
and the opening movie.

I wonder if there is an alternative suitable ending to this game other than Takumi getting killed by Rimi in the end.

To those who are getting the black screen with music after starting Caos Head, what you need to do is take the cg.npa file out of the npa backup folder and put it in the game folder. When you start the game you will get the warning in japanese and all the stuff will be in japanese till you press start. The text should be english from there on. Unfortunatly all the cgs will probably be in japanese but the cg folder from the patch will have all the translated ones so reference it. The controls will be in japanese but again, reference the cg folder from the patch. Also part 7 is bugged and you will need to play through the entire chapter thing in one sitting. This is just a cruddy work around but it satisfies me.

I've downloaded this game on this same computer and it worked fantastically. Unfortunately, I took the computer to a specialist to get it checked for a virus and then man checked it, confirmed the virus, and proceeded to wipe my laptop. My files were encrypted and he couldn't recover them. So now, I've downloaded the game again, but I got the black screen problem this time where the background music plays and I can't close the program without restarting the laptop. I followed what squiddy said and it's working now, but it's a little frustrating knowing that the CGs will be in Jap. Is there any way I can get the game working like it had been in the beginning? Could I be missing something?

Hi guys, the links for the Underwear patch are all dead, could someone re-upload them please?... thanks!

Can anyone upload the "crass-1.0.0.14.0"

Okay... well... I'll try to get this running... but not today, and not in the near future. I need a day when I have lots of positive feelings, energy drinks and time. Also a lot of patience, or my keyboard might suffer... I don't want that.
Finally I may need some weed to keep calm enough... at least after reading all those comments I'm sure that I'll need it... ._.

Whose eyes are those eyes.

~ El Psy Congroo ~

i finished installed the translator for chaos;head and well in the game after do start the game it appear a black screen and im again in the menu what should i do for start the game without problems ? and if someone know how to put fullscreen the option mode doesn't work :( thanks for the link and for who respond at my question and sorry if my english is bad XD

i tried installing the patch many times but it failed due to no cmd spawning while istalling the patch. i freaked out till i found out that the patch file was just 40MB so i tried downloading it again and the n i found out that the link is kinda broken every download stops at c.a. 40MB admin pls help i can't wait to play this game >.<

Having issues with the translation. Only part of the game seems to be translated. I installed everything as directed and it runs fine, but the opening scene is in Japanese, then it switches to Engligh. Then once chapter 1 begins it goes back to Japanese. Help please.

I have same problem with that translation, maybe the cause is connected with that Jast and nitro+ had asked to stop translating the game in order to publish it in the NA market?

There appears the disclaimer and black screen afterwords with sound...

How to solve this err?

Idiot

The game isn't in English. Can anyone help? I have followed the instructions.

Can someone upload crack, I accidentally deleted

I've followed all instructions exactly, at first I was missing one of the parts. But after I downloaded the other one and reinstalled everything still have the same problem.

For those who got BLACK SCREENS / GAME DIDN'T WORK / PATCH DIDN'T WORK. DO NOT I REPEAT, DO NOT EXTRACT THE ENGLISH TRANSLATION FOLDER! INSTEAD RUN IT LIKE USUAL ( double click left mouse ) AND IT'LL DO THE MIRACLE.


I learned it the hard way ):

What+is+the+code+for+the+CHSetup.exe?

Hello! a human from 2017 here (probably no one’s gonna see this comment.. but if you see this and know any solutions pls help T_T)

soo… it was running fine .. but after around chapter 7 it crashes and when i try to load theres this error ”セ一ブデ一夕をロード中燃こェラ一ヵゞ雜しました-
グ一ムを終了します” or something like that .. then the game closes .. any solutions?

I Restored my OS and lost all exe from my novels folder, if anyone can pass me the exe of this, I would appreciate it.

what's this LCS thing? I only got the game, cracked it and then installed the RC2 thing. Do I need this LCS patch or what?

"Chaos;Head" isn't a game, it's a survival guide for the modern world. Chaos;Head is a lesson that it's better to be a hikikomori than to not be one. The world is a dangerous place and we must force are asses to the seats, hiding in our rooms and playing EROGE, watching harem anime, and doing other such productive things.

Make sure to stock up your man-cave with beverages and food.

where is the chaos;child game admin?

Hello, admin. If Committee of Seven manage to completely translate Chaos;Head Noah in the future, will you upload it?

Hello.
I recently downloaded Chaos;Head. I launched it and it goes fine and it reached the title screen. When I press start, the game crashes. Is there a fix to this problem?
