It's like MS Office, except... it's free.

No, I know what it is. I was suggesting it, but if I had better reading comprehension, I would have realized Auria had mentioned it right in the post before mine, lol! Durrr, I'm pretty dumb today. In my defense I had just woken up when I posted that. XD

Neither Wordpad nor Notepad are able to access .doc files. At least here on my Windows 7 machine.
I know about OpenOffice, that's what I used to open the readmes, had 0 problems. I'm just saying a random person is more likely to have a pdf viewer than an office suite, and it looks more neat, no margins, no spellcheck red underlines, etc...
It's no big deal, people only open the readme once or twice, if at all. I just noticed it and though it'd be nice to drop a suggestion *shrug*

GyroidFanatic · 2010-01-10, 21:58

Microsoft has a free .doc viewer on their website, and my Windows 7 Wordpad says it supports .docx

Jan-Poo · 2010-01-10, 23:42

Well there are many other options. If that's about program availability then a readme in html format is even better. Who doesn't have a browser? You can't even download the patch if you don't.

An alternative to doc files is also "rtf", those can be read by wordpad.

Ah, my mistake... I thought you were one of the Windows Vista/7 users running without Japanese locale.

But since you're the one with underscores at the end of some BGM filenames, I'm not sure what to suggest. Maybe it's a later repressing of Episode 5? What is the title of the DVD?

Hey guys
I have received some requests from the chinese side, who wished to say hi
I've now got the consent from Klashi, and later I will post out the letters
that's all for now~

Nadeor

Nadeor · 2010-01-14, 20:22

Letters from across the Ocean:

Hello everyone
For those who don't know me, my name's Nadeor, nice to meet you
Today I am here as the 'Messenger' of the SOSG forum Umineko/Higurashi/Ookamikakushi board, bringing to you greetings from the Chinese side

Ever since the release of WH EP1 Patch, the guys were really eager to say hi to you
They've requested something like this to be done for a long period of time
and just recently thanks to our beloved mod Klashikari, I have gained the permission to post this here

Below in the spoiler tag are the letters from the Chinese Umineko fans (All in English, some were translated by me, and some were originally written in English; So please spare the Grammar-Naziing XD)
Thanks for your time, and if you are interested in writing a reply

Please feel free to PM me with your response. Don't worry about the translations

Spoiler for Letters with Spoilers up to EP5:

lesengirz · 2010-01-16, 09:29

nice to meet you Nadeor, and thanks for comming to say hi

TsundereCake · 2010-01-16, 14:47

Just to clarify (instead of going through 9999999 different posts about it.) Is there anything extra/different that you have to do in order to install Umineko on Windows 7? Because my friend has had some trouble installing it on her new laptop. She says that when the installer (the little window that loads all the files) gets to a certain point, it freezes and doesn't continue (even after leaving it running all night.) I'm going over to her house today to help her and watch Gurren Lagann and I want to have a little info about what the problem might be beforehand. Thank you^^

That happened to me when I installed my game on Vista.

I just explored the CD and copied all files over to the install folder, downloaded the WH patch to the same folder and then, it worked fine.

My friend claims she tried that as well, and it still didn't work. I'm thinking that maybe even if she thinks she changed the locale, she actually did something else

The manual installation method (i.e. copying files from the DVD to hard drive):
"fullsrc" -> "" (i.e. the root of the folder you are copying to. All the other folders should be copied directly)
"BGM" -> "BGM"
"BGM0" -> "BGM0" (Episode 6 only)
"BGM2" -> "BGM2" (Episode 6 only)
"movie" -> "movie"
"ME" -> "ME"
"screenshot" -> "screenshot"
"SE" -> "SE"
"sys_se" -> "sys_se"
This should guarantee that all files from the DVD remain intact before you copy the WH patch over.
Also, in Windows 7, you can try running onscripter-en.exe in Windows XP SP3 Compatibility Mode to make it work.

TsundereCake · 2010-01-16, 23:53

Thanks, but I found out that she just had not changed the locale properly^^;; Now she has Umineko installed and running smoothly!

Claude~ · 2010-01-17, 17:41

I am happy to report that, on my new Windows 7 computer, Umineko 1-4 with the Witch Hunt patch runs fine in U.S. locale with XP compatibility! Thanks so much to everyone who tried to help me before. I guess that other computer was just weird.

armandoh · 2010-01-17, 18:16

hey i read back in some pages, and saw about a port of umineko for psp. i tried porting it following the instructions but it doesn´t work. can someone that have it working well send it to me complete? it looks interesting. thx in advance ^_^

maximilianjenus · 2010-01-18, 23:52

if the installer freezes, you need to cahgne the locale to japanese.

Sir Andy Richter · 2010-01-21, 09:30

Aww, the Chinese fanbase is really nice, aren't they? A pleasure to meet them.

In other news, here's an EP4 "typo" that you guys probably already know about

Spoiler for ep4:

Well, correct way of spelling it, but not the way you guys usually translate it, right?

Digi-Dragon · 2010-01-24, 04:59

Is there any news on when the EP5 patch compatible with EP6 will come out? I don't mean to nag -- because I know you all have lives and a lot of work to do with the system changes -- but I was just checking in because I'm close to finishing EP4 and there's been no news for two weeks or so.

Don't worry about the translations Spoiler for Letters with Spoilers up to EP5: <rp-1> Fellow Umineko fans of AS: Hey there, how're you guys doing? BeaBato FTW!!! <olkandzdf> Nice to meet you all I'm kinda interested in how you guys speculate Does anyone here think that Beato is innocent? I am suspicious about George and Gumasawa, has anyone thought about their "Whydoneit"? <baichididi1> Hello to all AS Umi fans An old chinese proverb says: "Meeting with friends from afar is definitely a joyous occasion" I think that Umineko is a pretty good work let us think of how will the last EP turn out~The conclusion will definitely be awesome! <Bunlion> Hello, this is Bunlion I've just finished EP5, and felt like R07 was saying to me: "Baka!! Go back and read the question arcs again! Battler is beating you!" ...I don't think it's just me, so I guess this is how it is. Does anyone feel the same way I do? I hope we can all support Ms.Furudo. After all, she came through great notion...(Well...I guess you can say that she's in a way, a pervert)... But let us pray for a happy end for her <asddsaybl> Hey AS, How're you guys doing How'd you find Bern's tail? I personally thought of that as the cuttest thing ever~ <神羽梦见> Hello to all Western Umineko Fans My faovrite characters in Umineko are Ange, Erika and Dlanor. Since Bern has connections with Rika so I will continue to support her no matter what What's the most popular theory regarding on EP5 over there? Ours is Spoiler: that the first twilight's deaths were all faked, and that the second twilight's death is uncertain I wonder what kind of interesting explainations do you guys have over there. To me, no matter how slim the chance is for it to be the correct answer, as long as it's plausible, I'm willing to give it a shot <Cheshire> Hello!Dear friends As we are all umineko fans, it's nice to meet you and hope we will discuss it deeper. My favourite character in the up to EP4 is Rosa. She's a single mother with a strong will, and her character is unique. If you have already read ep5, I shall say that I was fully caught by Erica, the detective. I like the atmosphere of the entire series, because it is decorated gloriously and has a mix of fantasy but as the story develop the sadness strikes in. I also liked the background music; it was fabulous. Which character do you like the most, and what do you think is the truth behind Umineko? I wish we can share our views and enjoy the story together. Best wishes cheshire <Zionfate/Julybreeze> Spoiler: After watching EP5,i just want to say that battler is really useless and Bernkanstel is now acting more "beautifully". I somewhat pity Erika.R07 has done a good job.I was touched when I saw Beatrice's death. The BGMs are also very good, especially 約束 and the ending. Most of us believe that EP5's about everyone against Natsuhi. What do you think? <Hulu> Nice to meet you！I am hulu. So what do you guys think about Umineko? I am really caught in it, and my favourite character is the Ange. Don't you think Battler is fortunate to have a loveable younger sister like her? What do you think about the truth and the new character？Please tell us. Best wishes <右代宫玉姬> Who wants to play with tape? <darklv10> We should meet, guys Preferrably somewhere on an isolated island (jk) <Bless> How’s it going, mates~ My name's Bless. Nice to meet you~ Well, thanks to the guy we love...we finally got a pretty wonderful opportunity to communicate with umineko fan-groups from different parts of the world… Have you guys read EP6? I personally find EP6 to be the most interesting one so far...But waiting for the translation takes a long time... It would be nice if we can have a multicultural society here, so that we can get some Japanese classmates to translate it for us while we're reading (lol) Anyways, that will be all for now Kind Regards <Dark Butterfly> Greetings from across the pacific ocean How're you guys doing? My favorite characters are Ange, Beatrice, and Belphegore, what about you? For EP5, my speculations are that Spoiler: Besides Erika, Natsuhi, Krauss, Gohda, and Kinzo who's already dead, everyone else is acting together into cornering Natsuhi and forcing her to tell the truth of Kinzo's death. Since only then can they gain their shares of the fortune, and forcing Natsuhi to tell the truth is the only option. What do you guys think? <qiwen> Hi,folks it really surprised me that you guys are also interested in "When They Cry", actually I think maybe the way author thinks is closer to us easterners, but I am still very glad that we can share our views on this work Or maybe it's impossible for us to reach the truth simply from our perspective alone <三途小萌神> Hi guys, nice to meet you all My favorite character in Umineko is Ange, what about you? Hope we can all meet some day on Rokkenjima~(lol) <伊藤千佳> There're actually a bunch of theoretical solutions to the epitaph is some of the Game threads, so if anyone wants some more info they can take a look there. Of course those threads are chockfull of spoilers so read at your own risk. (Nadeor: He wrote this in English, and I have no idea what he's referring to here...) As for me, I've neglected to try and answer it myself even after finishing the game since I still have a nagging feeling there still isn't enough information to even begin to realistically try and decipher it, so I'm holding off on that for the meantime <zwq4869conan> TO ALL DEAR FRIENDS: I bet the truth behind Umineko will be really exciting I hope that we can all enjoy this work, and share the joy of reaching the ultimate truth PS: I have visited a few English forums before, and found that you guys are all really polite in the conversations (Nadeor: Someone hasn't met the trolls...) If possible I want to make some friends, please write soon~ <ssfound> Dear friends: It's great to meet with other Umineko fans, how great! Upon first seeing Umineko, I was immediately attracted by its gorgeous setting. Did the same happen to you? Although we are in different countries, we share the same interests. I'm stuck on the truth and still a little confused. What about you? <sonofseed> Friends of AS: Nice to meet you~ I'm really glad to be able to discuss Umineko with all of you So who here thinks Jessica may be the real culprit? EP5's difficulty was...not easy at all, lol, I find it to be really hard Also, I believe that the role of Beatrice may be acted out by multiple people So to hell with all the Kinzo crap My favorite character in EP5 is Dlanor, what about you guys?
