I have the same black screen at start as others. Question is :
- the first post tell me to use "Local emulator" but it doesn't show in my right click's list
- it seems that Local emulator work with 32 bits only ... ok ? I suppose that mean the version shared in the first post is 64 bits, i guess ? ... and ? How am I suppose to make this game works ?
- it seems Local emulator doesn't work with Steam version or what ever ... ok ? then why is a Steam version here instead of a working version ?
I had the same problem (black screen, no LE in the context menu, I hopelessly tried different game versions, fan translates) but I wanted to try out this game so badly, I put some time and effort into the solution. Now it's working... After all, everything is possible. The impossible just takes longer.
As it was said, basically you need to create another local account in windows.
You must be registered to see the links
Log in.
Set the region to Japan in time and language settings
Set timezone to "UTC+9 Osaka, Tokyo"
Add the Japanese at preferred languages option, wait until the windows downloads it
Then log in again
Profit.
So simple... right? It took me 10 mins. The only tiny problem is now I have 2 accounts: my own and a Japanese one which I don't understand. At least, I don't need LE in the future...
