Okay, finally...
I tested most of the files,
if there are any crashes please let me know,
the dialogue lines before the crash would be best.
Or if you spot any untranslated lines
Or if you see any text going off the screen
Please let me know.
Have fun,

I think some small errors I encountered branch from how I merged the files, so first I will detail the method and correct me if it was wrong. I am not an expert on this stuff. Double cheers to you for bringing this masterpiece. No crashes encountered btw.
Downloaded the rar and unzipped it. Inside there were 3 files and the ISO. Mounted the ISO.
< When I tried to rewrite the dat file there was an error because yeah you can't rewrite a CD.
So I copied the files from the ISO folder opened in the dvd drive, and pasted them in a new folder.
Renamed the dat file from your folder and merged it in the new folder.
Went into program files > erogos > "jp stuff" > Launched the game with AGS exe
And menu was not translated. Not a big problem,ifrst option in menu seems to be start story... click aaand it starts. Dialogues are translated, so far so good. Correct me if wrong, first scene should be the pool (but I doubt I opened a previous save, considering the next error I encountered). Shopping center, so far so good.
But when I go save from the menu in the bar up there (S for save, L for load) I encounter a pop-up in japanese. A save appears anyway in that scrolling menu, but when I go to load it there is another pop-up and a null pop-up. If I close the game, the save disappears.
In the first classroom scene (after I chose to stay with childhood girl) 2 short lines appear untranslated. Later on, after calling the MILF in corridor and triggering threesome competition, there was a 3 line speech untranslated. Another one in the handjob scene.
I went a bit further, until a BAD end, and found no other error. I tried to be honest and direct, but main character did not talk when the choice was literally "be honest and upfront ", later childhood rejected after another speech check...and so I got to the end. Skill issue. I returned to main title and in the gallery there were now 8 backgrounds and 2 scenes but I guess that they will get deleted when closing the game.
Last point, I can't find the button to close game (or the option/settings but maybe in 2004 there were none). Maybe missing saves are because I do not close properly? I tried by clicking on the X above (pop-up appeared, ok ok ok and it closed) and by closing the ags window from taskbar.
Or maybe the game is searching for a save folder. I could create it, or I could launch the raw game, save and then update??
Apart from this, it's really really wonderful. Very sexy retro style and beautiful characters. This is a good rabbit hole to jump in.
