The words in some jrpg are broken

[thevoltronminh]

im playing the game " the lewd quest of breeding soldier sera" and the japanese characters are broken and unable to translate, what should i do (i used locate emulator)

Sometimes you need to set to Japanese codepage before unzipping the download.

I use bandizip for that (I read that winrar also has that function) - open the bandizip interface, then open the zip file, and then click the globe, choose Japanese, and only then unzip.
Then for playing I would still use emulated locale.

In the screenshot the globe is greyed out because the zip file is in Unicode.

I did everything you said and I still have the same problem. /:

At first, I had squares with crosses, and now, by doing what you said, I have the same image as in the first comment. Can I get some help?

err, the only other thing that comes to mind is maybe you need to have the supplementary fonts installed.

I am in windows11 (German) and it goes like this (English by me) :

Windows settings -> system -> add optional feature : Show features -> scroll down a lot until you see "additional fonts for Japanese", install those.
I do not remember if it was necessary but a hard reboot won't hurt.
