Chaos;head error 2100

Since no one was replying and the thread wouldn't be bumped anytime soon, I've decided to ask in this forum.

Did you set the setting for non-Unicode programs to Japanese?

Go in Regional and Language Settings
Click on the farthest right tab (if I am wrong, just try all of them)
Then check if the language setting for "Non-Unicode Programs" is set to Japanese.
If not, set it to Japanese.
Enjoy your game.

Warning: This makes some programs run in Japanese (like Apple update etc.)

If you have already done that, I don't know what could be causing that error.

EDIT: BTW I have had the same error due to that problem with Chaos Head.

Alright, I did that but still got the same error. I also used AppLocale.

It says (the text in Japanese that is) that you should put the right cd in and play it (I think), have you cracked the game properly?

Thanks for the translation of the error message.

Do you have the CD in or the image file mounted in DAEMON Tools (or alcohol)?

The game might require a CD crack, but I don't remember, it's been so long since I have installed it on my computer.

Just adding, I don't remember if it uses a crack, but since I got it myself and do Not mount the iso when I play it, a crack seems like a possibility.

You are probably right, it's been so long since I installed it, but I think I remember a patched .exe file or something with the patch.

This time I used daemon tools and I used the CD key while I installed it beforehand, when I started it again with DT, I got another error:

Btw, thanks for the fast replies.

Actually, I think the translation might be more like "legit", like in official, instead off "correct" CD, but that might not be of matter. But it would be a good reason for why there should be a crack.

The error translates the same. W8, I'm gonna check my own Chaos;Head iso folder and see if I got a crack, think I got it on my external >,<

EDIT: From what I can see (also what is said in the upload thread) there should be a NoDVD patch in a folder inside the .rar, together with the iso.

You've read and followed "How to install patch" instructions here?

Download this:

and put it in your Chaos Head folder. Backup the original .exe, and then replace it with this.

This should fix your problem. I completely forgot there was a crack.

EDIT: Link fixed

Yes, it works now. I just found out the problem and thanks guys. I'll be sure to give you cookies and reps next thing in the morning.
EDIT: I patched the game and now I got a black screen with audio. Fml. I think it might be something during the patching when there were two error boxes that said something was missing and the patch told me there shouldn't be. Not entirely sure through but I'm trying everything I can to get pass the second screen.

If its when you are in the first scene, then suddenly turns black with only audio, this is the fix.

No need to reinstall anything.

Nevermind, I re-installed everything instead and it works now(I checked this time). But if it crashes on me in any part of the game, that just means someone up there is trying to torture me. Anyway, thanks again guys.
