plzzz
Thanks.
Just one question... Do I have to put my PC in Japanese, install the game and then patch it like Umineko? Just to be sure. I already Installed Umineko :).
Thanks.
I need help!!!!!
So:
1 - Download all parts of the sound novel's files and the English patch, and unzip them somewhere.
2 - Load Higanbana.mdf onto your virtual drive via Daemon Tools or whatever you're using.
3 - Turn your system locale to Japanese. You must do this or the installation will hang when trying to copy a text file with Japanese characters in its name.
4 - Install the game via the installer wherever you want.
5 - Put the entire HiganbanaEnglish folder from the ENPatch into the Higanbana1 folder you just installed via the installer.
6 - Have fun!
Just a heads up, I believe Higanbana's themes are a bit darker than Higurashi or Umineko, in terms of blatant content. Stay safe, y'all.
D's guide below worked up to a point for me, but I found another way of doing this. spiderlilytranslations.com also links to a CD-ROM installer, and if you download Higanbana.rar from here, mount it with Daemon Tools or whichever alternative, and run the CD-ROM installer from Spider Lily, it'll install the Japanese game and the English patch on top of it all at once without you having to fiddle around with changing your system language or fiddling around with the files inside.
Happy reading.
