      1. No the restoration patch you have to download it separately and install it! btw! this is the Under-Age version so there won’t be hentai scence!

  1. I have also tried running as admin and changing compatibility settings, as well as updating my directX. Nothing has worked.

  2. Never mind guys, it turns out for some reason it was taking FOREVER for the security popup from windows to actually come up, so it never got my consent to start the installation. I opened my task manager and found several ‘consent.exe’ processes. I restarted the machine and just waiting for one to come through and it looks like it will install now. Sorry guys, its 4:30 am, I’m not as smart as I am during the day.

    Thanks again, hope this helps if anyone else has this issue!

  3. I would also like to mention, one of the components needed for installation (D3D9EX, this is the directX component) is actually one of the things I had to turn off to get the game to work in the end, with it on, my computer only showed a black screen when I tried to start the story but the menu still worked (barely) without the D3D option checked the game runs normally. Given the immense amount of trouble this game has given me, I hope this might help anyone else who runs into this issue.

  4. i want to clear things up first 1. yes the install takes a while to start up but the game works 2. the game won’t work in the program path so i would recommend the the desktop for the location 3. this is not the 18+ ver u need to install the patch 4.the patch works fine it takes a while but the game works so over all enjoy.

    My opinion of the game
    well my thoughts of If My Heart Had Wings i have to say it the best virtual novels i ever played the story was amazing in my opinion the characters were really likeable a lot of character development. The virtual novel is very very long but the its worth the play. If u want to know the True Ending of the game in my opinion its Kotori route she is consider the main heroin and for good reason. I consider Kotori one of my favorite heroin of all time. I strongly recommend the game its so worth the wait of the download but its fun

    1. I didn’t like Kotori, she was childish and selfish and plain obnoxious.

      Her story was not very believable either: SPOILER ALERT SPOILER ALERT SPOILER ALERT

      If her parents were worried, how about let her stay in the club but don’t fly, just to finish the project with her best friends? The school advisors could have enforced it easily.

      When Kotori first joined the school, she was an introverted sulk who skipped classes, and after joining the club, she made friends, she was happier, she changed. What parent would risk her going back into her old ways by forcibly removing a patient who is recovering from trauma?

      On the other hand, I loved the Himegi route; I am happy I played the game thanks to her route.

      Final gripe, the MoeNovel ‘butchered’ version nearly ruined the whole experience. I have no problems with games which are designed to be under 18 but I have a huge problem with how MoeNovel basically changed the essence of the game; their version was actually boring.

      They understandably want the game to reach a larger audience by moving it to U18, but how about sell both versions and let consumers decide? Plenty of games do and it’s a shame, as it stands, this game was already amazing, but it could have been one of the best ever.

  5. i forgot to mention but there will be some characters mention and u will be confused but that is fix my playing Kotori route fist u will unlock the other route amane route and u will know the story of why the teacher is a ass

  6. Even after going through everything I did to get this game to work, The Video driver crashes constantly (this in itself isn’t much of a problem, it usually recovers), and worse, the game keeps causing my entire machine to crash. I cannot even get Cntr-Alt-Del to work, forcing me to hard restart. This is extremely frustrating because usually when this happens I haven’t saved in a while, and the game can’t remember where I was, so the skip option is out, leaving me to auto skip everything, which eventually causes the game to crash my entire machine all over again. As far as I can tell from my own research, freezing usually only occurs when SL is not set to Japanese, but because I use this computer exclusively for VN’s, SL is always set to Japanese. Is anyone else having similar problems? It really is a shame, I have gotten completely hooked on the plotline so far!

  7. I already posted this message on the \Uncensored Patch section\
    Just for good measure I’ll post it here again too.

    To the Admin:
    I have completed the game, but it seems like my CGs are misplaced and some are even missing, granted though, I have played this game way way back, so for clarification, was there a new version of the patch that was posted here that would fix this bug?

    1. It’s a full patch that adds in the H-scenes that were removed before. Naughty bits between the legs are still censored though.

      1. Are the “naughty bits” the only thing censored in this version?
        The dialog is not censored or anything?

  8. the game is only half when i enter after he has flown after a year it goes back to the title screen.if somebody knows what,s wrong please tell me.

  9. The translation is very weird… sometimes it doesn’t match with what they are saying, so I can’t say it’s the best out there, but it has to do, I guess.

  10. First i Want say sorry.
    Can you tell me instruction for install this.
    i forgot how to set the settings.
    my laptop just reinstalled.

  11. Guys , i recently downloaded this and after 5minutes reading after he got the paper plane , the wind blew the paper plande , after that the game forces close by itself with this message “ADV Player HD Has Stopped Working” any fix?

    1. Sounds like you may be having a video playback issue, as that’s exactly where the video cuts in. I would recommend installing the Combined Community Codec pack. (Just google CCCP) Install that, and It will probably fix your crashing issue.

  12. I tried playing the game but the sound doesn’t work and it goes black screen after the first scene. Someone please help me how to fix it if you know how.

  13. PLLEAASEEE! someone help me!!!
    while i try to install the game i get an error message and it says: Error 1935.An error occurred during the installation of assembly ‘Microsoft.VC80.CRT,publicKeyToken=”1fc8b3b9a1e18e3b”,type=”win32″,version=”8.0.50727.762″,processorArchitecture=”86″‘

  14. Hey Admin and others!
    I have a serious question. Can someone please tell me where does this game store it’s save files? I plan to make a backup just in case. I’m almost at the end of Kotori’s route and I have no intentions of doing the whole thing again if my save file gets corrupted for some reason.
    I know where the steam version stores it’s save files but this is not the steam version. I would really appreciate the help.
    Thanks in advance, w1n.

  19. Hey guys,
    im sorta troubled here –

    i downloaded both, the game and the patch and installed them correctly but the only thing that appears to drive me crazy is that my computer shuts down after playing like 5min? am i the only one here? D;

    ps.: sorry for my bad english, it sorta became rusty over the last years…

    thanks and cheers
    Funcsen

  20. Hey guys i want to find out if anyone else is having a problem playing the game in widow size I’ve tried to in start up menu and in the game but just stays in full screen mode everything else works anybody can i help me with this

  21. Well when i first came to this sit i thought it was a ripoff but i got Nekopara and it works perfactly so why not try this one owo

  22. Is there any chance the sequel of if my heart had wings gonna be here?? you know like snow present and diary chance of flight.

  23. Soo, I’m just asking this here since it would probably be easier than search through my whole computer. Does any of you know what was name of the default location of the install software? Since I kind of derp’d and while installing game just pressed continue without looking where it installed itself.

  24. So I get to the part where you decide on whose swimsuit looks best then later start seeing errors pop up and start noticing that the characters stop showing up when they start talking ? is this a known issue orr?

    1. I met the same problem before. The only way I know to solve it is reinstalling (you may put your save files elsewhere first). If not, then you will get black screen for the let of the game. I don’t know if this is helpful, just hope it is.

  25. Hello..im new to this site…and i tried to install this game…it worked however when i play the game…the character doesnt show in the screen or is this game originally like that?

    sry for my bad english

  26. This VN is graphically intensive for some reason. I couldn’t even get through one route because my laptop kept overheating. Only VN I’ve ever had problems with.

  27. This translation is kinda weird? I know some Japanese and i know for sure that oppai doesn’t mean eyes lol. Is there going to be a fix for this? Also is sweet love going to be done for this game as well?

  28. Installed the thing and applied the patch but none of the character sprites were popping up. They were talking as usual but there were no sprites. Also got a window for some kinda error that just kept popping up everytime I advanced for another dialogue. The error was classified as ‘legacy’ (wtf?) and the description was a bunch of Japanese. Anyone know what this is?

    1. Patch (unlike base game) requires Japanese locale to install and run – without it, game is unable to load sprites and other assets, resulting in symptoms as you described. Reinstall the game and patch with Japanese locale (see FAQ for instructions) and it will run fine.

      1. Had the same problem. But I tried running the game through applocale without reinstalling, and so far, the sprites are showing up just fine.

  29. guys i’m playing the limited edition of if my heart had wings and after i finished the first flight route. to see the ending i have to buy the other routes. i really want to finish this.

    can you help me unlock all the routes for free?
    can you share a hacked all routes version?

    thank you for the help 🙂

  30. Does anyone know if Flight Diary or Snow Presents is being translated (close to being finished)? Looked around on the internet but it doesn’t seem like it or unless they are being translated but just in secret…
    Played the main game(18+ version) and it is literally one of the best, if not best VN/Eroge that I’ve ever played. I wanna play the other 2 so bad. Lol
    Would be nice to know the progress of either Flight Diary or Snow Presents

    Thanks!

  31. This is turning out to be one of the best VN/eroges I’ve played. But the horrible translations are ruining the experience. I barely understand Japanese, but even I can tell that the translations are inaccurate a lot of times. It get’s especially bad once the individual arcs of the girls start. The translations are either rough paraphrases that don’t capture the tone of the original dialogue, and sometimes they come off as disjointed gibberish. Not to mention, the complete disregard for honorifics. As a result, at one point in Kotori’s arc, when the characters in the group were having a discussion about how to address each other (first name/last name, with/without honorifics), the translators did the dumbest thing you could possibly do. They completely fucking changed the dialogues, and instead made it look as if they were talking about Kotori’s wheelchair.

    Long story short, I wish there was a patch for this game with a different translation.

    1. MoeNovel is currently working on a retranslation/restoration project for this title due to massive demand for a “new” release.

  32. I have finished playing this on my PC a long time ago… I am now planning to download the Limited Edition on my phone, and here are some questions:

    1.) Is there a restoration patch for the Limited Edition?

    2.) For some reason, the game needs an internet connection. If I buy the character routes, will I be able to play the game without internet connection?

  33. I just want to ask if this is updated?
    I mean the translations not being MoeNovel but the ReTranslation one?


    Second question is about the “If My Heart Had Wings restoration/uncensor patch” — is it a separate needed patch that needed to be downloaded too or is it already included in the files here?

    — Hoping for answers! Thank you!

    1. Man, the uncensored patch is a separate one. You will need to download it from that specific website, which I forgot the name of.

      Also, this version’s translation is already pretty good. You wouldn’t be able to get a ReTranslation’ version of it, unless you’ll pay for it.

      Anyways, I replied a year late. Hope it helps though. If My Heart Had Wings is an excellent visual novel, don’t you think so too?
