Got the game downloaded and installed successfully, but having no luck at all with the English Patch. Have downloaded it twice thinking it was a bad download the first time and still getting this message when attempting to lauch the file.: ""This application has failed to start because the application configuration is incorrect. Reinstalling the application may fix this problem.""

And yes, I am running it as the administrator with the system set for JP local. My OS is Windows XP Home. Just finding it odd that the game gave me no problem installing (and yes, it runs), but the English patch won't work for me. Any suggestions?

Problem with English patch too.
This is the error box:
The application has failed to start because its side-by-side configuration is incorrect. Please see the application event log or use the command-line sxstrace.exe tool for more detail.

Can anyone pitch me in? I don't know what to do.

Are you supposed to download and extract all 10 .rar files? I've downloaded them all, but can't extract any of them.

For anyone having trouble with the side-by-side error while running the english patcher on Windows 7. It seems the patch installer needs vc 2008 you can get it here https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/download/details.aspx?id=29 (yes the x86 version even if you are using Windows 7 64bit).

Thanks a lot, it worked for me now...
starrellyReply
what the fuck thank you so much!! all of your steps worked :D
for anyone who's discouraged here..

i stumbled a little because i didn't do the part after you install directx and had to click the top button, haha didn't read it for some reason

i also made sure to download vc2008

when i downloaded all 10 parts, i was pleasantly surprised that extracting one will connect all 10 parts together into one katehane and then you mount that file you get.

make sure you install the patch before the english patch... i think that should fix the problem? idk..

thank you again!

First of all, thank all of you for your help and of course I thank all the people who spend so much time to translate this for us, that is just amazing.

But unfortunately I've had so many problems with the installation of this and I tried everything that I read here but nothing really helped me.
I managed so install the game and even start the japanese version of it, but the hard part came after that...
So for those of you, who still can't run the update, here's my solution:
In my case I just wasn't able to run the update because wahtever I tried, some errors kept poping up, making it impossible to run it. Running the english patch without successfully running the update was impossible as well, since you need some files that the update will install, to run the patch.
And here comes what I did. Since the patch says you need scneario1.arc and update.arc to run it, I simply copyied the scenario.arc from the folder in which the game is installed and renamed it. So simply make two copies of a \.arc\ file and rename them into the needed scenario1.arc and update.arc.
Now copy them into the game folder and run the english patch.
I know this sounds so stupid and random, but I simply didn't know what to do anymore to get this game to work, so I tried this and to my surprise, it worked!
You can now run the patch, install the english version and play the game.
It's still surprising to me, why I didn't even need the actual update.arc and scenario1.arc for the game to work in the first place, because getting these was the biggest problem for me from the beginning...
Well I hope that I could help some people out with this and I hope you were able to follow me and understand all the steps, since my english is not that good

My game works perfectly except for the fact that none of the characters have voices. I re-installed the game, have the voice.arc and everything, so anyone can help?
AnonymousReply
When I install the game, everything works fine. But when I install the English Patch, the character voices disappear.

Does anyone know where I might be able to buy this visual novel? I've found that the company that made it has disappeared (most likely gone out of the game of making VN)

I can't run the game in full screen mode. As soon as I change press f4, double klick the window or just klick on maximize the game freezes..
If I run the game without japanese locale and without english patch I can switch to full screen but it will crash as soon as I start. If I run the game without Jap locale and with english patch it freezes as soon as I klick on fullscreen...
If I run the game without eng patch but with jap loc. it says something japanese... pretty long message with a H D D. No idea what it means. any ideas?
guesttttReply
do i need to download all 10part together with the update and translation?
btw ur 1.9gb link broken, file not found.
Red PlayerReply
admin, where is the japanese update 1.10?
ArikoReply
You can find it by going to the erogegames forum and finding katahane's listing there. For whatever reason the update patch is linked there but not here.
