Gahhhh. The game won't load the first baseball mini-game properly (early in the beginning) and only shows a blank field without characters. I can't progress past it or do anything >.< Maaaaybe re-installing everything will fix it, since i took a roundabout approach to loading this game.
koruboReply
Ah, got the mini game to load and work properly. Seems its best to follow the installation instructions perfectly, or the game file doesn't properly load it up. Guess it's to do with the file locations having been separate for me, which wasn't a problem before.

What do you do if you have deleted REALLIVE.exe and cant undo it?
I keep getting the reallive 1503 error.
noobReply
dude, you just need to download the cracked version of reallive.exe (search it up), and put it into the game folder.
JasonReply
What do you mean by "Move file “REALLIVE.exe” from “Crack” folder to game directory"?

What is the game directory? because I keep getting a black screen every time I try to start the game and the font has not change.
KairosReply
I have the same problem that Jason.
Please help...

In the first Little Buster part 1 there is a crack file, move this to the game directory. The game directory (assuming you haven't changed any file settings)is KEY and will be found like this

My Computer > C DRIVE > KEY > リトルバスターズ!

From there move the crack from the first part and drop it into リトルバスターズ. It should work after.

Hey, thanks for the help. It was very clear! For those having the same prob, follow this!
Manga-kunReply

Please help me. I've been trying to figure this out but I can't.

how can i extract the files when my winrar trial has ran out and i have no money to buy it with?
kyoushuuReply
Try using other software like 7zip
Jta_0358Reply
Good guy winrar. Doesn't charge you for free trials. Just keep using it. Mine has expired long time ago but I can still continue to use it.
FrannyReply
I get a "process was illegal - please restart your computer!" message whenever I start up the game. How do I fix this?
MichaelReply
If you didn't already figure it out than here the solution. When you install little buster or change your system setting your unicode/locale was not in japan. You need Unicode/locale in japan before you install little buster. You have to uninstall little buster than have it Unicode/locale in japan than reinstall little buster. If you mess up the order your laptop become confuse and won't work properly.

That error popped up for me when I closed the VN abruptly (clicked on the red 'x', exist/close sign while in window-mode) -- and managed to successfully relaunch the game after simply launching it with admin's authority. That is: "run as administrator".
BrentReply
Can someone put up the EX patch? I installed the original version.
CXuReply
Does anyone have a cracked version for REALLIVE.EXE version 1.6.5.8? I have the PE version of LB, but I can't play it because it's japanese windows restricted.
bakemonomonsterReply
what do i do with this:Little_Busters_ExEx_1.0.rar – 79.4 MB...is that for ecstasy,or do i apply it to the original LB to get the ecstasy with the h scenes+3 heroines?
LynxReply
I'm confused too. Should I extract that ExEx patch as well or just leave it as it is?
NinjaReply
I have no idea how to do this. Half the downloads, when downloaded come out at 10kb, no idea what to download, what tools i need, what to extract etc. So bascially i could use a a full start-finish guide that i may be to understand. plz help. thank you
ShinsetsunohitoReply
aside from the guide, the programs you need:
to extract downloaded files: winrar or winzip
to mount the extracted image: daemon tools, magic iso etc.
game directory is where is your game installed. if you have problems finding it just right-click game shortcut and choose 'open file location'. then you copy whatever files in the crack folder to the game directory.
*and just learn how to use a computer. everybody asks same questions just google your prolems, spend few hour and learn whatever you need to know. if you still can't find anything, come here and ask. before posting a comment just be sure to check previous comments. it is most likely that you will find what you are looking for...
vejtornadoReply

Step 1: Download litle busters game.
*Downloads all links within
DA-1CLICK: Game Download
DA-free: Game Download
Da:English Patch Download*

Result: Opens folder with downloaded files in them
The name was called "Littles busters.part (01-17)
File Type: RAR File
Size: 10KB each

step 2: Extracts all files. Nothing was extracted.
Repeats process 4 times before coming to ask for aid.
So I want to ask, do I need a software for this error or are the links fucked up?
MegalanserReply
Guys, i got this problem when i tried installing the English patch, an error popup saying "Invalid file handle 32". So what do i do? Please Help!
puregoldReply
I got an error message in japanese when I tried to install it. It says something with CGKD31c.g00 in it. Anyone knows how to fix it? Help is very much appreciated.
puregoldReply
Nevermind this. I am such a fool for mistaking the file to be mounted. The guide said LB.mds when actually it should be LB.iso
KenjiruReply
What the meaning of error 1503, and guide number 17 ?
geraldReply
guys can you help me? i cant open the Lb.mds file , i had no program to open this , can you help me to solve my problem? please
geraldReply
is alcohol 120% can do with my problem? about how to open LB.MDS file?
LynxReply
I have been wondering, which file in the game folder contains all progression/achievement so far (not save file)? save999?

Eg: if I need to re-install the game, I want to keep it therefore things I've unlocked so far won't get lost.
Baka TenshiReply
Those people who didn't completely follow the guide... How to help you? Try to restart from the first step, unless all the downloads are fine, then make sure the system locale is Japanese, then start from step 3 (it's written as 2 not 3... Someone please fix it?). If not, change it (see the links for the Windows version you have--you'll need a guide to see how to do it on Windows 8 in case you're running 8, I'll try to write it here*)

Anyway, my comment now: After finishing all 18 steps, are you sure changing the system locale back from Japanese is fine?

*Now the guide to change the system locale in Windows 8
1. Move the mouse all the way to the bottom left corner
2. Right-click it, click Control Panel
3. Click Region
4. The rest is in the Windows 7 version of the guide, starting from step 4

Okay dumb question what do i do with the .Iso file? I mean this says mount mds file but it doesn´t tell what to do with the .iso file
-M-Reply
Just leave it. If you already have Daemon Tools Lite (DTL) installed, only .mds file have DTL's logo (as instructed by admin to mount only .mds file)
AzianBrooReply
I don't know how to extract. I looked at the picture but when i right click it doesn't have the extract at all. Please help, my first game. I have downloaded everything part 1-17 with the other two patches. rar file for all except \ib-english-6.0\(application). I don't know what to do and i have a window 7. Already went to japanese locale.
-M-Reply
In order to extract, you must have programs called WinRAR. Once you have it, the extract command will definitely appear when you right click the .rar file.
-M-Reply
I've forgotten to say something. >.< Thanks admin. :)
Sir FailsalotReply
Well now, I got quite a peculiar problem. The game works fine, and bgm works and can be adjusted normally. But all the character voices are weaker than a whisper even though it's maxed in the sound settings.

Any idea of possible reason and/or fix for the issue?
Sir FailsalotReply
The problem fixed itself. Dunno when or why, but it's gone nevertheless.
