Hoshizora no Memoria -Wish upon a Shooting Star-

Hoshizora no Memoria

The story begins with the protagonist, Kogasaka You, moving back to his hometown, which he left behind several years ago. Upon arriving, he stumbles into an abandoned, sealed observatory, whereupon he encounters a mysterious girl who looks exactly like his childhood friend did years ago. She introduces herself as Mare, a shinigami who reaps nightmares.

Meanwhile, back at school, You ends up joining the astronomy club, which is desperate need of new members. At night, he continues to visit Mare at the observatory, all the while trying to remember a certain someone’s name…

  1. Am i the only one who gets dolphins instead of naked Mare picture on “The girl from the lookout” route?

    1. Delete the graph_vis folder in the main directory of the game, for example: C/Program Files(86x)/CROSSNET/Memoria.

  2. Help please. Can’t seem to get it in English after english patch already changed the font to staircase subs. 😛

          1. If I deleted that folder and I play the game using my save data (before deleted the folder), it still works to remove the dolphins right?

          2. i been using my old data meibe thats the problem because i even reinstaled the game and deleted the freking dolphins but they are still there i cant see mare whyy god whyyyyyyyy

    1. Awesome, little late for me getting Asuho on my own though but thanks alot for putting an English Walkthrough up, you cant find one anywhere lol =)

      *Thumbs Up*

    1. It’s inside Feb2006_d3dx9_29_x86.cab file located in the directx folder on the game disc. Unrar it to the game’s folder.
      Though it will likely complain about another DLL, so just download DirectX web installer from Microsoft and it will download the needed files itself.

  4. Rapidshare is seriously the gayest shit. Without a user account its 30 fucking kbit/s

    So all that fucking uploading was for nothing. I’ve always hated rapidshit. I always will.

  5. Can someone post a video that shows step-by-step instructions on how to install the game, the update, and the english patch? I have tried to follow what everyone has written, but nothing has worked. A video would help make everything much clearer on how this should be done.

  6. uhhh im having a problem when i run the patched english version of the game and go into the options menu when i click on page 3, i get an error message and the game closes. Also idk why but my game says its only 1.0 how do i get 1.1?

  7. Thx for the upload again , nice game ^^

    Anyone know where i can find “Soukai no Oujotachi”? i wanted to play it :\

  8. Can something be done about the line breaks?

    Sometimes a single word would be in the second line, effectively obscuring a portion of the text by pushing it under the border.

    1. Nevermind, Install the game, apply patch 1.1 and then install the translation patch.

      Select Staircase Custom as font.

  9. ya. Not that it bothers me THAT much but the OP wont show up on my comp. I found out that the player wasn’t compatible and fixed it to using vlc but it still doesn’t show up. Any suggestions?

  10. Can someone tell me how to change the Skip settings inside the game?
    Currently I skip everything when I still haven’t played through it, it will make later gameplay much more frustrating when I don’t know what I have read and what I have not, so can someone please tell me?

    1. Just dont skip everything? Common Route is about 10 hours (maybe more) and there s a lot of Character and Story Development u dont wanna miss.

      1. I said I haven’t even played it, I can skip everything from the get-go, but only with the English .exe
        The japanese is working fine, there I can’t skip anything

        I also have my option to to just skip read text

        1. Me too. Even though its on skip read, it skips everything so I dont know what to do since it will be a problem to those that dont want to re-read the 10 hour common route.

  11. this is the first time i really want to punch an imouto chara in the face,now i’m in a dilemma between want to clear the mare route, coz i have to do chinami’s first

    1. yume is the most annoying..
      damn these onee-san heroines,
      only ririko of sharin no kuni is the good onee-san heroine

      1. i tot thats the cute side of Yume..
        especially she keeps talking bout their childhood and blush to deny ‘You’ again~

  12. I have 8 characters unlocked (not including the main character) in the “Character Settings” section, all of which have I can adjust the volume of the voices and only two of which actually have voices. Is this correct? Neither Chinami, Isuzu, Kosame, nor Shino have voices even though there’s a volume adjust and test option, which the main character doesn’t have. I couldn’t find anything when I searched it on Google so it’s neither not an actual issue or not a common one. Thanks for you time in advance.

    1. Something solved my problem, no idea what. I have the original CD and it corrupted a few times in a row while installing or something, but it’s working now.

  13. What is one supposed to do after the opening sequence plays (in another window) and the game won’t continue?

  14. Trying to install this but I get some error about 01.mpg. The file is there where it says it is supposed to be, anyone know what the problem is? I only get Retry or Cancel options, there’s no Ignore.

    1. Solved my own problem – extract iso file, rename msi file to English filename, edit setup.ini to include this filename and voila, it installs fine.

  15. onece i get to the scence of some girls saying she woke up late right at the begining o f the game it stop working and i get a error of etc/038 with japanese words behind it

    1. i got the same problem at some point afther reintalling the game some times i fixed it whit the patch 1.1 that comes whit the game i hope it works for you good luck

  16. Grapic still have many troble erorr plzz fixx it thxxx English patch grapic error game Jp grapic error thx thx

  17. Just finished the whole game, Mare’s route felt like a filler. IMO, she deserved a more decent route :\
    And as Alucard said, Chinami is not that bad in her route.
    Also, the True End is amazing :D, a great read indeed.

    1. While the Main-game itself doesn t have a nice story for Mare, there s a fandisc out which is bout 20 hours long, only for Mare and Yume. I hope it get s translated someday, i also hope we ve not gone back to the stars until then….

      1. Well, like i said, there s a fandisc out. Hope somebody is going to translate it, but w/o the troll cgs.

  18. I d rate it like this: You should play Asuho and Aoi first, not that bad but only filler-storys. After that, Komomo and Kosame. They share close to the same Story, but also their storys are important for the true ending. Chinami felt also like a part of the whole thing, but was a little too short in my opinion. The true ending was really well-made, although a little bit confusing at first. And Mare was really only a “Take it or shut up” route 🙁 Took me longer to get the H-scenes for her than actually playing the route(had to delete the graph_vis folder in the VirtualStore thingy).

  19. For some reason when I attempt to install the game the installer won’t actually start. I just get an error message and it quits the installation. Anyone help?

  20. I’m not sure how to install this…
    I just downloaded all the parts. Than I extracted all of them.
    I’m not sure what to do after or to apply the patch…

    Is there a step by step FAQs how to install this?
    I know you need DAEMON-tools too. Sorry noob here <_<

  21. Can someone tell me what Komomo said in the end of her route? The one with no text and just voice where the backgroud was white with ~Fin~. Thanks..

    1. I barely understand japanese, but for what i can say, it means sth similar to: I ll stay by ur side….forever.

  22. If you still see dolphins after you delete the visual_vis, just start with a new game and you won’t see it anymore

  23. Are there any similar games to this 1? Not totally overboard like MGQ, but also with a little fantasy (like this 1) and with a good story. Dont like bad endings btw.

  24. Can anyone tell me why the hell do i get this error? [C:\users\user\Documents\favorite\???????\save\s901.bin and freaking some dono what type of language following? Any solution? First is the missing d3dx9_29.dll now this WHY?!

  25. ‘C:\Users\***\Documents/FAVORITE/???????????/save/s901.bin’, then a bunch of gibberish. I get that every time I try to start up. I am in Japanese locale and I think I did the patches right. What did I fuck up? 🙁

    1. Did you install it while u had Jap locale? If not, it would explain why u got ? instead of japanese latters as save-folder.

      1. Wow I actually totally failed and installed it in english local then did the rest in jap… thanks dude you are my new hero xD

  26. During a large number of conversations, characters are only appearing partially on screen or completely off screen. For example when talking with the Tenkuru about constructing a planetarium the club president is center screen Asuho is roughly 1/3 off screen and Kosame isn’t even visible even when she has lines, anyone else having this happen or have a fix?

    1. Tried reinstalling it? Also it might be a problem with ur screenresolution, try changing it to sth smaller.

      1. I’m using a widescreen monitor that only support wide screen resolutions so adjusting that didn’t make a difference and I’ve tried running it in windowed, full screen and the second fullscreen with no difference, suppose I can try reinstalling it too.

        1. Reinstalling changed nothing, heres a picture of what it looks like exactly, also I stumbled across some way that zoomed the current CG in and out, only once and haven’t figured out how to do it since, anyone know how?

          http://i.imgur.com/8i8FR.png

          1. It really seems like a resolution problem, the zooming occurs if u scroll with ur mouse while hiding the text-bar.

  27. Just finished the game and got rid of the Trollphins as well lol.

    Game was amazing, Final route and Mare’s were really quite special to me =)

    I’d recommend this game to anyone who likes a good eroge!!

    Thanks Admin and thanks to all who helped with niggling errors that stopped play when I first started it.

    1. It s too good. Needed the whole day to recover, cause: Game is over, Fandisc “Eternal Hearts” is not being translated(yet) and i cant use the translating-machines(bug or sth like). Screw it, gonna laugh my ass off while playing “My Girlfriend is the President”.

  28. Whenever I try to install it I get a string of gibberish symbols and what I think is an error marked 1155. Then the installation stops. Should I be adding the English patch before installing? What order is all this done in? A step-by-step would be really helpful here…

    1. First you set ur locale to Japanese, afterwards u install Hoshizora, the patch 1.1 and afterwards the english patch, everything while ur locale is set to Japanese.

  29. What is one supposed to do after the opening sequence plays (in another window) and the game won’t continue?

    1. Actually, u close the opening scene and some secs afterwards it should continue. Just be patient or reinstall the game, step-by-step 😉

  30. anyone else having problems with the word wrapping? one word might be broken up and the second half would be placed on the bottom line, its not a huge issue but it can be annoying is there any fix to it?

  31. anyone have complete save game?… just finished hisakaki sister route.. i want to go straight to the 2 route after the 5 if anyone have a complete save game pls share it

    7. it appears again ihave enough i’ve do this already 4 times
    cant erased the DOLPHIN shit TROLL.
    8. plss anyone that maybe can help and understand my problem help me uwaaaahh…

    1. so weird…
      all i do is install the main game..
      update patch v1.1…
      install english patch..
      delete the folder graph_vis that contain marex??
      and the game works fine…

    2. well i did this

      1.) Installed the game

      2.) applied 1.1 update patch

      3.) installed English patch

      4.) deleted the folder called graph_vis

      5.) played for several days until i finished it all = no dolphins

    3. I had to delete the graph_vis folder in: C:User/Name/AppData/Local/VirtualStore/ProgrammFiles(x86)/
      Crossnet/Memoria, dunno why but it worked for me after that.

      1. i just delete graph_vis folder from my installation folder….
        just finished hisakaki sister route and havn’t ecountered any dolpin yet

        1. Until i got to Mare´s H-scene i also didn t see any trollphins, however, even if somebody else encounters that problem there s a solution for it.

  33. I Want to ask. when the mare slice you it said that GRAPH_menu.bin has encountered a problem and needs to close.. so how do i get the game past this problem. please answer it and does this game REALLY REALLY need Direct X

    1. Right after Mare used her Scythe? That s the Videopart, delete the folder “movie” (first make a copy anywhere) and try again.

  34. Ok new problem, why is it when more then one person is on screen at once only 1/3 of the other people are visible?

    1. nevermind i was able to solve this problem, incase people have questions about this in the future, the sprites getting cut is NOT normal the translation notes provided the answer.

      You have a corrupted saved file from a v1.0 installation of the game. Delete your entire save folder in C:\Users\your_username\Documents\FAVORITE\星空のメモリア (and make sure the v1.1 bugfix patch from Favorite is installed).
