It's impossible trying to install this game. It seems an English patch won't work until the game is already installed, and the installer is impossible to figure out. It has three options, the first of which is greyed out, the second which is pre-highlighted, and the third of which closes the installer. When you choose the second option it asks you "Richedit???" and brings up some text editing program and a field of text that cannot be edited. The next button doesn't work, the only button that works is "exit." Since I can't read the text, and I can't patch it, I can't do the install.

If you can't figure out how to install basic japanese games you *really* shoudln't be messing with warez downloads, you don't have enough skills not to do something stupid to your computer.

Stick to english games.

Please, I work in tech support and have installed all sorts of warez, cracked and hacked games. This is the first thing I've come across that I can't install. Who are you to tell me what I should be downloading? Oh, that's right...no one.

If you can't figure out how to be a decent, respectful person when someone asks a question, you *really* shouldn't be attempting to answer.

Stick to being alone.

Well, I'm not into Otome so I didn't download this, however I will go over some basics.

-First off, you will need the Japanese language package installed on your computer, it will be on your Windows OS disc.
-Go to your Control Panel > Regional and Language Options > Advanced(tab) > From the drop-down menu select Japanese then restart your computer. Now it will be in Japanese Locale.
-If the Game is a CD/DVD, mount it on a virtual drive using Daemon Tools Lite, just search for it on the web.
-After you mount it, if it doesn't automatically run, go to My Computer > "The virtual drive with the cd/DVD", Right Click to auto-play or open it up and run the setup program.
-Everything will be in Japanese, just guess your way through by clicking "Next" and accept any agreements, just keep the installation path as the default it suggests. The game should now be installed but you'll need the english patch.
-The patch can come in couple forms, if it's a setup type, it will usually have a preset installation destination, you'll want to install the files where you installed the game(Generally it's in C:/Program Files/"whatever the folder name is"). If it's just a bunch of files, you can drag and drop them in there as well. Typically put it in the same folder as where the game .exe file is, or in corresponding folders. Sometimes, it wants you to replace the current .exe, go ahead and do that and create a brand new shortcut of it and put on your desktop. Delete any old shortcut that was automatically created prior, because those won't work.

Thank you for your kind and intelligent reply.

I really really wish there were more Otome games available in English.
JenniferReply
The game itself works fine for me, but I can't seem to unrar the English patch. Are these all the parts?
jimkricketReply
Try and re-download the patches. If that fails, try downloading 7zip, and use that to extract.

Hello :D

I need your help about the patch ... when I try to install it, it asks me to give a directory : I've tried all the possibilities but it doesn't work ! I've got messages like "invalid directory " and "This program cannot update the installed version of Starry Sky ~ In Spring ~ because the following reason :

The destination directory doesn't contain any files to update."

I've tried the directory of the game (in program files, asgard ...), the directory where is the patch ...

But there are some things in english when I launch the game ... but the text are not readable : not in japanese, not in english ^^'

Can you help me ?

Thanks a lot :D

I feel retarded for not seeing your post. I believe we have the same problem, so let's wait for some help.
toshiinaReply
i have the same pb TwT did u fix it ?
sunaruReply
Uhm, I think I also experienced that problem. Try checking if you have DirectX installed. If not, make sure that the version is compatible to the video card and OS. I'm not sure if it is needed but I also installed Java. It can't hurt. I'm not sure if that will solve your problems but I do hope. :)

Hello, i have a problem with the english patch. I have the game installed and it runs successfully (in japanese) and everytime i try to install the patch i can't save it in the game folder, this message, "Invalid directory", keeps appearing and i don't know what to do.
If someone knows what is the problem i would appreciate some help.
Thanks in advance
LumLumReply
I think I may have a solution to your problem I just figured it out myself however I discovered another problem after it.

To finish the English installation you need to go into your Asgard folder and rename Your Starry Sky folder to only have English characters, meaning you need to take out the TM and any other characters. I simply renamed mine "Starry Sky in Spring".

However upon starting up the game it does not seem to load it correctly and I'm still trying to figure out a solution to that.
sunaruReply
yeah, I think I know what the problem is. I also did it and it turned out to be one of my biggest regret in life. We only changed the folder that affected various files within it and because of that, Windows (or whatever your OS is) can't find it because it changed location. Adding another problem to that, WE WON'T BE ABLE TO UNINSTALL IT. The only solution to that is to reformat the computer. And when you do, be prepared to lose ANY files you have not stored properly.

Stupidly, I think we should have installed the Japanese language first and changed the settings in the Regional and Language settings to that of Japan's and then, proceed with the installation of the game so the Japanese characters would turn out correctly and not into meaningless symbols. After that, I think we can proceed to the English Patch.

I wrote "I think"s because I haven't tried it yet. I don't want to reformat my computer-----!
sunaruReply
I don't know how I did it but when I replaced the folder name back to its original name and patched it, it worked. The game is working but it's not completely in English. Yes, the translation of every dialogue is there but it's mixed with weird characters.

Can anybody tell me how to solve this?
sunaruReply
Never mind, I found the solution to my own problem.

Admin, thank you for the links :)
SnoopReply
Eto... Is this Otome Game?
sunaruReply
Yes. :)
LumLumReply
So I downloaded all the files including the English patch, the Japanese version runs just fine but when I use the Install Wizard to change it to English I get to the part where it asks me to find the Original Starry Sky in my Program files. I click on the correct directory and it says Invalid. Is there a way to fix this? I would really appreciate any help.
AiiReply
It says there isn't enough space for the english patch XD can someone please help me?
peterReply
i feel gay cause i'm a guy and im playing this
SukiReply
you shouldn't feel gay otome games are awsome
sunaruReply
I think it's a wonderful thing that you are guy yet with a mind broad enough to accept girly things. It actually makes you more manly! ♥
MinaReply
I'm either retarded, or I'm missing a step. I downloaded this on my old laptop that ran Vista, and it ran just fine without any hiccups. I got a new laptop which runs 7, and when I try to run the english patch, it tells me the directory is invalid, regardless of the fact that it -should- be the right directory. D: And I never got to finish it on my laptop, so I'm kind of obsessing over it. So, help would be ever-so loverly, please!
peterReply
look at the top comments
MinaReply
Aaaaactually, I tried that, and to no avail. I'll give it another shot, though. And by it, I mean renaming the file. D: ...actually, I think I renamed the folder, rather than the file itself. So it'll probably work if I do -that-, rather than what I did. Silly me. Don't mind me!
MinaReply
Haaah~, and upon re-reading their comment, it did say folder. ...regardless, I'll try again. D: Sorry, it's late and I was about to go to bed, but decided to check and see if anyone said anything about my problem, and am just confusing myself. :( So really, please don't mind me!
MinaReply
So my problem was, I believe, because I only deleted the foreign characters, rather than deleting it entirely and retyping in the entire thing. Silly me. It worked, and I humbly thank you and the person with the solution, and beg pardon for talking to myself and spamming comments. XD Aheh.

PJReply
Yay! I didn't realize the Starry Sky series was getting translated.

Hopefully you can start hosting some more Otome games on here. Don't get me wrong, I love games like Higurashi, Umineko and such, but sometimes nothing can beat a great Otome game. =3
ookamigirlReply
I was surprised to see Starry Sky was out, yay ^^
The only missing games are Hakuoki and Togainu no Chi... I'd love to play those too. Hope we'll see them here soon!
I also vote for more Otome games!!
peachReply
Hi! The english version of Hakuoki came out for the PSP in english on Feb 15th. It was localized by Aksys. :)
