I faced the same problem before. The good news it's that is pretty easy to fix even if you don't know what you're doing.
For the text problem:
First download a hex editor (I recommend using Hex Editor Neo). After you're done installing that, open the program, select the game's .exe file (checkin) using the open function and take a look at the following site:
http://www.geocities.com/aiharasama/bishoujo-fix.html
The site tells you what values to change to make the text readable. For the first value, go to row 000159d0, column 0c and change the left number (08) to the one on the right (00). Rinse and repeat for the rest of the values.
To fix the slow down problem, insert the second CD (or mount it), load the game, go to preferences and change the
choose music option to CD-DA.
I really hope that helps. I know I really suck when it comes to explaining stuff so don't be afraid to ask me anything If I confused you.
The site you linked doesn't exist anymore. Anywhere else where I could learn/understand what to so I fix the text?
Oh boy, I can't believe that awesome site doesn't exist anymore. Thank god for the Wayback Machine:

Here are the precious instructions just in case they're almost lost again:
Tokimeki Check-in! (Crowd / Peach Princess)
Executable name: CHECKIN.EXE
Executable size: 188,416 bytes
Executable MD5 checksum: ae4cda3d66c85683ffbd134b67c349d5
The way you encounter women in this game resembles chaos theory.
Font stretching fix
If you've tried the game "Tokimeki Check-in!", you may have gotten interesting text like this:
This is caused by the game requesting the font Fixedsys with the Japanese character set, which typically causes other fonts to be chosen instead, and then stretched to meet a rather wide width request. To fix:
000159DC: 08 00
00015A09: 80 00
00015B74: F2 90
00015B75: AE 90
This patches a CreateFontIndirectA call to width=0 and charset=default, then defeats an intrinsic strlen() to turn off a psuedo-bold effect that makes the text hard to read.
Font name change
Optionally, change icky Fixedsys to Arial:
00020808: 46 41
00020809: 69 72
0002080A: 78 69
0002080B: 65 61
0002080C: 64 6C
0002080D: 53 00
Arial is narrower on average than Fixedsys, so this may result in some text being crunched to the left, but the increased readability is typically well worth it.
Enjoy. This was my first VN so it holds a special place in my black heart.
PS: Wow, I can believe it's been more than 3 years since I posted that. Time sure flies. This was my first contribution to this site.
