2. Change locale to Japanese (XP Vista 7)

2. Right click on first part and choose “Extract”
Little Busters install 1

4. Once extracting process finishes, you’ll be presented with new folder, containing two files: LB.iso and LB.mds . Mount the LB.mds

5. Open your virtual drive and run “Autorun_rlsmm.exe”

err... i got a problem. the patch worked, but when I tried to load my data on rin's route, it stuck, the text won't come out. I also tried another save file before rin's route, but when the game go on Rin's route, it stuck again. There's no problem with refrain, works just fine... any fix, admin?

From translator webpage:
"Do the newer versions overwrite the old ones without problems?
-There can be various problems with your save files. Although generally your game state (e.g. CGs, route completion) is safe, this is not guaranteed."

So basically start playing from the beginning ;)
KamikuReply
... I regret I've played it earlier... just to play it another round.... oh well, it was a superb VN, so it didn't hurt that much. thanks anyway.

Which exactly is the game directory, is it game data because when i try to put the crack file there it says there isnt enough space? What should i do?
GC9000Reply
I have the same problem. Where is the game directory?
xamlsoraReply
It maybe just me but when I installed the English Patch, I did not see any Crack Folder in the game directory...Did I do something wrong?
YayoiReply
The same for me. Can someone upload the crack folder separately?
shiina-projectReply
What about the other parts? Don't you need to extract them? only part 1?
YayoiReply
Put all the parts in one directory and extract only part 1. Winrar will do the rest of the job.
shiina-projectReply
okay thanks!
shiina-projectReply
I really can't understand this
yusaReply
Makes sense until step 17.
I don't have a 'crack folder'.
himieReply
The crack folder is inside the .rars where you extracted the iso. You should have LB.iso, LB.mds and a crack folder after extracting.
himieReply
Sadly the crack keeps crashing at launch for me on Windows Server 2008 =/
JarmReply
I do not get the option to run as administrator when i left click the english patch it just says run as.... and if I click on the that all it asks is if i want to run as my current user, help please
himieReply
There's no "run as administrator" option in Windows XP
JarmReply
So then i can't play the game? I have installed and uninstalled it 4 times and there is always a font error after I click new game that quits the game
himieReply
The option isn't necessary because XP doesn't enforce admin controls, just make sure your account is an administrator and not a guest and select everything from the english installer, if possible con you post a picture of the error?
SeigaruReply
Hey, after I install the game, when I try to run it I get an error saying [1503] and then a bunch of Japanese characters. A few sources said this error was due to me not having Japanese locale enabled, but it is. Anyone know what's going on?
adminReply
You forgot to replace original game exe with cracked one (point 17. of installation instruction)
SeigaruReply
Thank you, this was it.
AdminReply
when I started the game its only black
himieReply
Make sure you are using Japanese locale.
EustiaReply

EustiaReply

himieReply
Move the crack to where you installed the game and run it from there
mikiReply
Okay so I clicked on it to run and it gives me this:

The application has failed to start because it's side by side is incorrect.
mikiReply
oops there's a configuration in there as well after the side-by-side...
himieReply
Try installing Visual C++ Redistributable package just google it and it should appear, also install the DirectX package.
UshioReply
so you mean you need Visual C++ Redistributable package to play this game?

is it really necessary for every OS? or anything?

Copy the crack to where you installed the game replacing the one there.

Can someone help? I can't extract part 4 and 6 (Filesonic mirror). It says "The archive is either in unknown format or damaged" and "Unexpected end of archive".
adminReply

Having Text Spacing issues. I ran the English patch as an administrator as asked and I have the VERA fonts and the OSAKAmono! fonts also installed. Not quite sure why I am having the issue. The text spacing issues are very similar to what I had with Koihime Musou before i installed the Vera fonts. Any ideas?
himieReply
You most probably don't have the font the game is using, go to settings and change the font to one you do have like osakamono.
MadReply
Sometimes, the font and spacing issues might cause of overwriting / adding fonts, usually they crashed resulting to disappearing text or changing its appearance ... Try to disable or remove the font that causes it...

for example the PingPong font is the only available font on the fonts options... I delete the PingPong font on my C:WINDOWS/Fonts folder and run the game, then I check the fonts option on the settings and all the fonts appeared also the osakamono font too... The bad thing is that you need to check it or retrack the fonts that you've added on the C:WINDOWS/Fonts folder
BobReply
Thanks admin, easy, good, and understandble guide. Give you 10 stars for effort :D Good way of doing it.
Kaname_KuranReply
Umm I stalled everything right but when i plau the game the dialouge i messed up how do I fix this?
MaxmakiReply
I just want to say that the crack works with Little buster Extasy too. If you dowload ot from somewhere else. But you may would like to wait until they complete the patch of that verción.
