to keep everything simple: change your
language for non-unicode programs to japanese. there are cases when applocale doesn't work.
also, the way to operate applocale (in case anyone is wondering) is extremely simple. just pick the .exe to run and choose the 'language environment' to run the .exe in, in this case: 日本語
in fact, most of the things you need to do to get games working are listed in the 'FAQs and Tutorials for Game Uploads'<-stickied on this section (Visual Novels, Doujin Soft, and Eroge) of the forum
very convenient
Guess what. I've been there. And convenient isn't really the right word here...
I can't change the
language for non-unicode programs to japanese. I'm yet to install it... Although I could get the necessary software to install the japanese Unicode, Megaupload is being a bitch and won't let me DL it... yet.
If you could give an idiot like me a simple step-by-step method on how to get this done after I've gotten the necessary software, that would be appreciated.
and although I can believe you that AppLocale may not always work, I didn't even understand your explanation of how to use it. Like I said, a step-by-step explanation would be nice...
Oh, And I'm running with XP.
Edit: For reference, this is the File I'm DLing (MU finally decided to let me DL it) as well as the instructions found in
this thread.

i found a Japanese locale files pack!!
Instructions(since original are Italian):
1. Download the "Japanese-Pack-XP.rar" from here www.megaupload.com/es/?d=5CN4SYU8
2. Extract "Japanese-Pack-XP.rar" to a folder of your choosing (preferably desktop)
3. Go to Control Panel-->Regional and Language Options
4. Under the "Languages" tab tic the "Install files for East Asian Languages"
5. Click Apply, on the insert cd message click ok and the it'll give you the same error BUT with the option to choose where to load the files from
6. go to .../Japanese-Pack-XP/i386/Lang and load the only file that appears (only one appears because it asks for a specific file)
7. sit back and watch it install
8. it doesn't matter as long as you eventually restart, not log off/standby/hibernate.
i was tired of people crying that it dosen't work for them so i hope that at least those who care enaugh will find this post and make good use of it
