'''There are two main ways to enable your computer to view Japanese characters: the first and most preferable is to use the Microsoft application Applocale; the second is to change your regional settings for non-Unicode characters to Japanese.'''
+
# Download the Enhanced English Patch [http://www.romhacking.net/translations/2041/ here].
 +
# Go to <code>{{p|game}}</code>.
 +
# Replace the {{file|eXceed.exe}} in the installation folder with the one from the archive that you downloaded.
  
−
1) Using Applocale
+
'''Notes'''
−
AppLocale is preferable to switching Windows regional settings to Japanese as it allows you to run an application with Japanese regional settings without having to reboot and avoids issues such as Windows erroneously displaying other non-English characters as Japanese or certain applications defaulting to Japanese language.
+
{{ii}} [https://steamcommunity.com/app/207370/discussions/0/792924412090333459/ Steam Community Discussion thread about the patch].
−
You can download Microsoft AppLocale here: http://www.microsoft.com/download/en/details.aspx?displaylang=en&id=13209
 
−
 
 
−
2) Changing Regional Settings
 
−
Go to Control Panel > Clock, Language, and Region > Regional and Language Options.
 
−
Then click the Administrative tab > Language for non-Unicode programs (System Locale) > Change system locale, select Japanese and then click OK.
 
−
You’ll be prompted to restart your computer.
 
−
More detailed instructions can be found here: http://windows.microsoft.com/en-US/windows-vista/Change-the-system-locale
 
−
Windows Vista/7 users also have the option of installing the language pack and switching regional settings. Windows 7 Ultimate users can switch regions altogether as well.

Warnings

This game is only playable in English with a fan translation (see Localizations for details and other supported languages).

Key points

Although the game was released overseas by Nyu Media, it was released only with Japanese audio and subtitles. An executable with English subtitles is available.
Runs poorly on modern Windows systems.[2][3] See this guide for a possible solution.

    Attempted to use some workarounds like Steam Input, Xinput Plus, and XOutput for this game and could not get this game to change the Left-analog stick with the D-pad.
