You're my god Admin. Thanks for upload.
Danilo AntunesReply
Nice one admin, thanks!
dedReply
any intructions on which one goes first? rar then version 1.1 update then translation? or some other orders?
adminReply
game>1.1update>english patch
I was still writing installation instructions when you asked.
Baka UshiReply
I'm having no luck with the install - tried both on XP and 7 - I get a message (can't read it) after the setup finishes and it looks like it copied all files except the actual exe - so I copied that myself and the game runs in Japanese, but then when I try to do the 1.1 patch, it gives more messages and doesn't do anything
Baka UshiReply
Did get it working on XP - now that it's done, I'll see if I can copy over to 7 and it'll keep working - that works a lot of the time.
unknownReply
how did you get it working? i'm having the same problem
tomReply
Yeah... messages are garbled up. I managed to get the base game running just by copying stuff from the ISO into the failed install dir, but the patch is beyond me. I have no idea what it's complaining about. Tried all kinds of compatibility options, etc.
CrazyguyReply
That was fast thanks a lot.

Complainer will probably be here soon :P
dedReply
hmm my bad. okay which is better literal or natural? anyone who tested it already??
adminReply
It's just a matter of preference, just like butter and margarine.
Anime fansub scene has debates about this for like 20 years already.
CrazyguyReply
If you like to have untranslated word like for example oniichan then go with literal if not go with natural.
RubickReply
Onii chan should forever be literal.. i mean cmonn , it's freaking MOE
dedReply
Okay thanks. sorry if i complained to much. haha XD
CrazyguyReply
lol they aren't here yet but i'm sure they will soon they were complaining like crazy when admin released hanabira 5 and now this make 2 yuri in a row and 3 in the last 4 VN released.
Well at least they can be happy no yuri eroge have been announced to be released anytime soon.
RubickReply
YES, THANK GOD..NO MORE xDDD. now i can look forward to Little Busterss and NO Yuriii
CrazyguyReply
i don't think we will see the full patch for Little buster before the end of this year.
I might be wrong, but at the speed they have gone until now i doubt it will be released before the start of next year if i had to guess i would say around feb or march 2012.
RubickReply
WHATTT, there's only 10% left ?? Will it really takes a few months to complete 10% of the patch??
CrazyguyReply
10% on a vn like Little busters isn't only 10%.
Little buster have more content in the game then Clannad and if you played Clannad then you will know how big this mean.
Also normally they don't release right after they reached 100%
they need to at least do a last SC and QC just that will probably take several weeks.

Anyway like i said i might be wrong that was just my opinion from how fast i saw them working on Little Buster until now.
NanashiReply
Just a question ... why do you invite (or her) on the games Fileserve? The idea is good that you have loaded on Filesonic, but why could not even have to Megupload Hotfile or reload? Because really, the modem speed of Fileserve is damn shit!
adminReply
Speeds and accessibility really vary, depending on country, ISP and even time of day. If you look around comments you will find many people asking for fileserve links for uploads where it's only filesonic for now.
SkyReply
actually, megaupload, fileserve and rapidshare are the biggest filesharing sites in the world and the ones most people use.

filesonic on the other hand is a curious thing since it has much much less users.

as long as admin gives me fileserve, i am 100% content!
adminReply
filesonic is more popular than rapidshare (at least according to alexa )
Anonymous PixieReply
Filesonic is useless for this unless you have a premium account with them. Their maximum download size for free users is 400MB, these rar files are in 500MB chunks.

Fileserve actually seems useless to me as well, with no download starting, but I can't see why.

Also, why is it that young males always want to tread on the smaller or less renowned players in a field? In open source software this does real harm, with almost all enthusiastic young programmers supporting the sometimes ridiculous "technologies" coming from corporations with a vested interest in limiting the freedoms of users and programmers alike, and taught in schools which are supported by these corporations. This rubbish has become a religion so all-pervasive it's followed devotedly by those who pride themselves on being irreligious.
adminReply
You don't need premium account to download from filesonic here.

You lost me on second part.
Anonymous PixieReply
Eh, ignore the 2nd part. I posted it, looked at your post again, and thought "oops, not quite relevant." Sorry.

Not sure what's up with FS. It says it only allows 400MB downloads, but maybe it allows bigger ones anyway. Neither site worked for me because I had javascript disabled at first, but now I've enabled it Fileserve is working well enough. Still, I think I'll get a premium account if I download more than a few of these.

wow, nice. we have to choose 1 of 3 kingdoms?
btw, i just want to remind something, Osananajimi wa Daitouryou ~My girlfriend is the President~ can't be played at my current windows 7, it said: can't read/open the fle. any suggestion?

any ideas?
mr.bakaReply
for .mdf files, use daemon tool to read it

it's ok, dude. im still learning too.
daemon tools, is that a program?
any links for download it, please?

Ok, there are some deatial that have yet to be mentioned. Your problem can be easily solved by going to the "TLwiki" homepage and clicking on the "Katahane" option. There you will find a link to the windows update that is likely to solve your issue (as it did for mine)

Tought it would be useful since it hasnt been uploaded here yet, and , as always, keep up the great work admin.

no need to install English patch, just copy paste it to game folder.

I'm having the same problem. I install the game, run the update. No problems up to this point. But when it comes to the English patch, it just wont run it. What am I doing wrong?

ZeroReply
You are getting that error because of Visual C++

I was trying to figure this same problem out and it turns out the 2005 and 2010 versions wont work (I tested them). You HAVE to have the 2008 32bit version (even if you are running a 64 bit OS). Here is the link to the copy you need.

http://www.microsoft.com/download/en/details.aspx?id=5582

Make sure to uninstall any other Visual C++ programs before you install it to avoid extra problems.

After you have it installed run the English patch from the game folder and it should work.

If the initial installer doesn't work, all you need to do is change your language for non-unicode programs. Go to Region and Language> Administrative> Change system locale and change to Japanese. I'm running windows 7 x64 home premium.

i have a problem with step 5:

MitsukiAdoredReply
Hello, just downloaded game today and having problems. I downloaded the game, literal patch and the update. I saw the instructions but it's not going that way for me.
I click on the update and it's all gibberish and it pops up that it needs something (like when you go to Browse for file) but I have no idea what it's asking for. The game isn't popping up. The game is an .iso file.
I tried skipping the update and went to the English patch to select the game and the game is still not popping up! What's going on? X_X It's been a LONG time since I have done this and totally clueless. Please anyone help me? :'(
unknownReply
first of all make sure your locale/language for non unicode programs is set to japan (to do this go to region and language in control panel and go to administrative tab.)

once your done, mount the iso image with a virtual drive (I use daemon tools) or burn it onto a DVD. open the disk and you should find the installer. after the game is installed, it should run in japanese.

to install the patch, locate the directory that the game is installed in.

after the patch is done install the english patch.
CelerySticksReply
Just finished this one the other day, pretty good if you ask me. Keep up the good work Admin, looking forward to any future adds. Now to finish Shikkoku no Sharnoth :]
RazielTepesReply
sigh, for some reason, the skip function doesn't work right I end up having to keep F7 pressed but then it even skips stuff i haven't read yet, so annoying... any idea how to fix this ?

off topic about this game

but suggestion
can we get some sort of way to tell if a game will require the applocal usage or changing the computer around to jap settings

so we do not waste a few hrs dling for no reason
adminReply
Yes, it's on my TODO list. Right now i'm uploading all games that were ever released in English, but are still missing on this site. Once I'm done i'll be making installation instructions for every title posted, with MD5 checksum for files ( to verify you downloaded them properly), required environment ( does it need japanese locale, does it run on windows 7/Vista etc.) and step-by-step instructions, with screencaps included.

atsutaneReply
I fond how to resolve the problem.
when you open the .ISO with daemon (or other software, it will just load the file in the virtual DVD. Then go to "my computer" and open the DVD which is Katahane and you'll have the install menu.
SomeoneReply
Noooooooooooooo Not this game. When I install it there are no exe file. I did it like other game that come from admin.Tell Me Whyyyyyyyyy

If when you install the game no exe file appears in game folder, then just copy exe file from /bin folder in mounted game folder/CD. I have tried and it works.

hey which would any1 here suggest? the literal or natural translation. btw i know a good amount of japanese if you dont count kanji :P
PaullReply
i'd suggest literal for most fans of japanese media. you'll be used to it if you watch a lot of fansubbed stuff. it's the difference between seeing a name, for example, as "sana-chan" instead of something like "little sana".

only time literal translations bugged me was in persona 3 when the english voice actors actually spoke it aloud and it sounded rediculous

So hey, I downloaded all the 5 parts, the update thing and translation patch. I tried to extract the 5 parts and I got errors about "unexpected end of archive" about the 5th part. And then it continued the extracting and at the end I got all kinds of other errors; CRC failed in Katahane KATAHANE.ISO. The file is corrupt.
Then I tried to first start the update thingy but only got some error thingy from that. I don't really understand any of this so I'd appreciate some help :D .
adminReply
One of parts (most likely 5th one) didn't download completely. Redownload it and try again.
SbReply
Thanks, no errors when extracting now. But still I've no idea what I should do next. I extracted the update thingy and tried to run it but doesn't work, then i extracted all stuff and tried to open all stuff. i was abe to install teh game and all but it wasn't translated. I'm so confused now !

How do I intall the 1.10 update thing? I extracted it and tried to open it but I get some japanese error thing. I think that's the only problem now. Some help please ! ~~

Tsubaki_14Reply
I installed the language and shifted to japanese locale still no luck :/ everytime I try to install any of these files it shows me an un-readable error -w-' can someone who installed it successfully help please? ;3; I'm really looking forward to playing this game
Tsubaki_14Reply
YESSS got it to work! Ok, I'm gonna post here the exact steps to take to make it work for anyone else that may end up having problems:

1. Download all the files
2. Change your default uni-code language to Japanese
- If you're on windows 7, follow these steps:
- Go to control panel -> clock, language and region
- Click on region and language
- click on administrative, there are two sections in it, the second one is titled language for non-unicode programs
- in there, click on change system locale button, then from the drop down choose japanese and restart
3. Mount the .ISO file of the game using any virtual disc mounter (I'm using magicISO which is a freeware) and run it
4. Click on the third button to install directX in case you don't have it, and then click on the top button and install in default directories
5. Go to where you saved the files and install katahane_update_v110.exe in the default directories as well
6. Do the same for the english patch
7. Now you're finally ready! Go to the folder where you installed it (if you followed default path, then it should be C:\Program Files\Tarte\カタハネ and run the katahane.exe (NOT the one titled in japanese, that one is original japanese text) and you're ready to play! you can substitute the shortcut icon on your desktop with this one for easy access.
8. While running it, as the admin have noted when it is in window mode (not full screen mode) you can see the tools bar, click on File on the far left then click on font config and from the drop down choose the one at the bottom which starts with S2GP

Hope this helped any lost souls :) now off to enjoying it!
MangaJooReply
Sorry to ask this kind of dumb question but I'm new to Eroges and hum... about ti non-Unicode thing, will this affect something on my PC except I will be able to install the game or will it change my pc's language or I won't be able to play my already installed games?

Thanks for the futur answer :)
Tsubaki_14Reply
It changes the language of non-unicode programs into Japanese. Well in most cases everything will still be in English it doesn't change your operating system's language, very few programs will be affected by this and those -other than these visual novels- you usually can change their language settings in the program itself.

Does anyone have the drama CD of this game? pls share it on the reply
MyoreReply
If enyone has a problem with instalation, there's another solution. I'm not english but hope you'll understand:

1. Mount .ISO but don't run Instalation!
2. OPEN virtual drive where the game was mounted (for example: "D:") and run SETUP with AppLocale ("D:/KATAHANE/setup")
2a. Everything in AppLocale switch for japanese (the last language on the list)
3. If something was not coppied to game's destination folder, just copy it from mounted game folder/CD (especially, when you installed the game and no .exe file appeared) ;]
4. Move katahane_update_v110.exe and english patch to game's destination folder (where the .exe file is).
5. Run with AppLocale katahane_update_v110.exe and Install. If error appears, just browse destination folder ("C:\Program Files\Tarte\カタハネ") and accept. It worked for me ;]
6. Now run run english patch with AppLocale, and same, browse destination folder ("C:\Program Files\Tarte\カタハネ") and accept. Instalation may take a while.
7. Now you can play, just run katahane.exe :) If there's an error, run katahane.exe with AppLocale as well. (You can create a shortcut, to allways open katahane.exe with AppLocale).

Hope I've helped. Enjoy! :)

So everytime I get to the part where Belle and Angelina are finishing the play and Angelina falls and then Belle catches her and says I love you from the bottom of my heart. I click the next txt and it always stops and brings me back to the Main Menu so I don't know how to get further in the game!

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

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.
