Sharin no Kuni, Himawari no Shoujo

Just so you know, the Fandisk for this (Sharin no Kuni, Yuukyuu no Shounenshoujo) has also been partially translated. The Translation patch includes Houzuki's Route but removes the other girl's epilogues (seems there are no plans to translate those).

does't work on Windows 7; pop up some strange signs and window and nothing happens

Yeah, thnx so much. AppLocale installed without a problem but now it shows me this error "Please make the application specific is valid"

Sorry this problem is fixed now, but unfortunately I have another error : with the strange signs again and location of the file. Sorry for all trouble to You but this cost me too much nerves so i will resign of this game. Thanx for help

I think you need to install this game with JP locale, not only start it.

thnx so much, you were right, now everthing its ok :]

I have a problem here. i can play the game and already download the English patch but why its not translated ?

hey i have a problem here, after i download it why i can't extract it? it always error

i just can't extract it, and when i try to open the part 1 and part 2 its says need the cd. but when i try to extract the part 3 it says error. please help me admin T.T

Okay guys from heeros difficulties and my own experience here is what you must do when installing on vista:

You must set your system locale (Found under region and language options in control panel) to Japanese BEFORE installing and leave it that way while you play.

Can someone please post a step-by-step tutorial on how to run this. I don't know how to work this properly. I'm using Vista.

Thanks in advacance

You mount the iso, you install the game, you put the content of the patch in the new created file. You play using the 'sharin.exe' application. But you have to set the locale of window to japanese beforehand.



Positively absolutely wonderful game, I loved it! Do you think you could upload the fandisck too?

may i ask something? when i tried to play it, a blue screen appeared with lots of program language in it and it won't play? and i still confused with this japanese locale

i tried what was told but i still cant patch the game or even play the game

1. set locale to japanese*
2. mount iso
3. install game
4. copy the content of the patch folder into the main folder of the game
5. start sharin.exe

*
1.Start button --> Control Panel --> Clock, Language, and Region --> Regional and Language Options.
2.Administrative tab --> Language for non-Unicode programs (System Locale) --> Change system locale.
3.Select the language --> restart pc

Ah never mind, I found a way to work around it. Thanks!

I followed the instructions outlined by several kind people here and am still unable to get the game to work. Everytime I try to run the sharin.exe file that I moved to the mainfolder I get an error mostly comprised of japanese with 'krdevui.dll' being the only thing I can make out. Anyone have a solution?

Awesome game best Visual Novel I've read in a while ty admin

my heart almost stoped from the sachi route when u go cave exploring lol

This is an awesome game...like all akabeisoft2 games...too bad only 2 full game and 1 fan disc have been translated to english =(

Is there any plans to get the fandisc for sharin no kuni himawari no shoujo uploaded on this site? The english patch for that game is done and available from TLwiki, same guys who published the english patch for this game. It would be awesome if the fandisc was also available since I've read it is an epilogue for this game

I've got a problem with this one, i'm on Vista , i mount the Iso on Daemon but it said that my device is not ready but i did the same with other Vn, and i've never encouter this problem, got an idea ?


Anyway , great site you have here, keep up the good work

I also have a problem.
I even re-downloaded from somewhere else ....
I mount the iso with Daemon Tools and then, nothing happens,just my computers which lags a lot.
I'm on vista.

It's a Very good game,i can say it's the better Vn i played.

I had the problem of the slow instalation,the daemon tool take some time to open the setup,but in 10 mins the setup run.


Now i will try the g senjou no maou,let's see if is good as Sharin :P

i click on the game and all these weird languages come up error syntax error

Very well translated, thanks as always.

It's not, but you can find it through Google. The English patch is 100% complete I think.

I know it's been said here and there already, but for anyone who has trouble installing this game and is new to all this... I too just started and will give you some steps towards getting this game to work (without mocking you!)

1. Download the 3 parts and the english patch, linked above.
2. Download WinRAR and Daemon Tools (both are free and will cause your computer no problem; they are your friend)
3. "Extract" both the english patch and part 1 of the game (will automatically work for all parts).
4. (this step is more unique to this particular game) Go to control panel, clock/region/language, change country/region, and under "administravtice" you'll be able to change the 'locale' of your computer. Change it to japanese... this will allow the japanese text to appear as, well, japanese and not nonsense. (this restarts the computer)
5. Open daemon tools. Click to add an SCSI drive and then find/add the file "syarin.ISO" to it. Now you can go to your "computer" and find an imaginary CD drive on your computer that opens up the game install. (be patient.. its slow to start up AND all in japanese, but you can figure out what to click to install it.)
6. Find the file "patch.xp3" that you extracted from the english patch. Copy. Now find the location of your newly installed game, wherever you chose to save it, and paste the patch.xp3 right into the list of other program files found in the game's main folder. NOW you're set and ready. Enjoy!!

(note, your computer MUST be set to Japanese 'locale' in order for the game to work. No, this doesn't turn your whole computer into japanese and leave you lost with a foreign computer. Just allows japanese text to appear properly, plus you can always change it back if you'd like.

The installer Setup doesn't seem to run. I have mounted the ISO with Daemon Tools and attempt to run the setup. It asked me if I want to allow it to run and I say yes, but nothing happens after that. I'm using Windows 7, and yes I have it set to Japanese unicode setting. Not really sure what the problem is.

Wow.....what a finale, amazing stuff.

so is the patch in the links section at 100%??? i cant play something incomplete it will make me go crazy :(

I just think it's hilarious that the MC in this game smokes weed.

@Admin, do you thing you could give me a VN suggestion like this?
P.S Ive already played G-Senjou-No-Maou(loved it) any VN would be fine
