I just tried changing my system locale, didn't work. My game looks like this, you can see the strange letters and dots in the dialogue
Your facing two Problems, not one:
1. Most of those games use chinese/japanese characters in filepaths, which then leads to
00ジェルル.png
instead of
00ジェルル.png
and tho the file can't be found -> game broken.
2. WolfRPG provides an japanese and an english version, and these
c
,
u
,
v
are commands that fancify the text when read in. I dunno the exact reasons but sometimes translators
(tools) break those
(maybe theres a version difference for escaping commands...).
Solve Problem 1:
You don't change your system locales, use the following emulation software to do this just for specific executables:
You must be registered to see the links
(just put it in C:\Program Files (x86)\Locale.Emulator.2.5.0.1\
, run LEInstaller and restart your PC)
Solve Problem 2:
falafelswoop notes that the translation works with the english version of the engine, so here is the english executable:
View attachment GameENG.zip
(just put the GameENG.exe into the game, next to Game.exe)
I'm not sure but i think you still have to use japanese locale, so right-click on
GameENG.exe -> Locale Emulator -> Run in Japanese
to start the game.
I hope this helps all those who have trouble get it running.
