[Supergrunch]

Just in case anybody doesn't already know, here are some keys that can be used for ONScripter-based games (such as the English patched version of Higurashi):

Text Speed:
1: slow
2: normal
3: fast
0: toggle slow/normal/fast

Scrolling:
H/left: move up one option
L/right: move down one option
K/up: go back one page
J/down: go forward one page

Misc:
F: toggle full screen / windowed mode
O: toggle: normal / display each page of text instantly
S: fast forward toggle
CTRL: fast forward while held down
ESC/right-click: display in-game menu

obviously left-click/space/return/enter to advance the text (or to select a highlighted option)

If there are any I missed, let me know.

I guess by now more than a few are aware that http://makenaidesuwayo.com/ is now gone and a reply on the Hinamizawa Club forum seems to say "and everything else is going to." Nobody's really acknowledged what this means for the Minagoroshi translation, though the question has been asked lots of times via blog comments and a time or two on the HC forum.

So my question is does anybody involved with the project or not know whether it's continuing or not? cpl_crud of WinD mentioned something about creating a forum on their forum for the project but I'm not really sure if that means it's continuing or not.

I'm not looking at this as "somebody owes me something" just because I bought the game or whatever. That's on me. I just think if you're gonna drop such a huge project like that or if you're going to leave the net or whatever, giving those who were interested in the project a head's up on what's going to happen to it might have been a decent thing to do.

I'm not involved with the project, but everything points to it continuing. Ayyo stopped working on the project after the release of the first chapter "due to personal work, life, and issues" and it's continued without him from thereon. The only thing that'll be affected is the webspace the project is currently on, which is why crud said he'd make a forum on the WinD site to discuss it. There's been no sign that the rest of the team currently working on translating Minagoroshi have any sign of stopping, so for now you needn't worry.

[Freakman]

Well, the translation's been on a hiatus for a while because of me, but yeah, the project's still alive and kicking.

Chapter 6 and 7 is released by the Hinamizawa Club in a double release.

Mirrors

http://www.mediafire.com/?45w3im3mmmy - Masturibayashi version

Chapter 6 is my personal favourite up until the current translation

[Supergrunch]

This is brilliant- you've got a good way into minagoroshi now.

[Klashikari]

This is insane... Moe 3,4-tan has the traits to beat Rena's Omochi Kaeri MODE O.o

[reptar300]

Whats the differenc betwen Minagoroshi version and Matsuribayashi version?

[harukamae]

EDIT - Sorry, I just scrolled up and realized you may be talking about the patch releases - if you buy Matsuribayashi, it includes all chapters that came before it, so you can play Minagoroshi without buying separately, but I guess the HC have to do a different patch for each version...

Ok, it might be a long shot to post in an old sticky for information, but it seems like the most relevant place to ask.

I can't get the installer to work on the games. I don't have east asian languages (or whatever it is that I need) so all the text is gibberish and question marks, and when I fumble through that, the game starts to load, but no progress is ever made. I guess I need those east asian languages after all. The problem is, they're not on my computer already, and when I try to install them, it says I need a windows CD. I don't have this CD, I never had it to begin with.

My copy of windows is authenticated, according to Microsoft, but none of their downloads on their page work for me, they all show up as broken links. Even then, I don't exactly what the file that I need is specifically called. This also prevents me from Googling it. I could sort through countless unrelated information for days before I found what I needed, downloading random crap that i don't even need or know what it is.

It's all been quite frustrating. Long story short though: Does anyone of a place where I can download Japanese language for use with AppLocale or the regular installer?

[Supergrunch]

Well, ultimately you do need the east asian languages installed, as you have found out. However, I'm not sure what you're supposed to do if you can't install them...

[Namingway]

Well, I asked in another forum, and I got a link to a torrent. Unfortunately the speed is less than 1kb/s and there are no seeds. At this rate, I'll have it in 35 hours or so.

So.. If anyone knows of a link to a direct download, that would save me a lot of time, but other than that, I'm covered. Unless the peer disconnects... or runs out of progress, or any number of other things go wrong. Heh.

Slowest way


Install the asian fonts on control panel

it will ask for some files

You won't have it of course

google the file and download it one by one

it will take some good hour or 2 but it willl work

(I did it)

[Shion's Sanity]

Just download Microsoft's Japanese language support, and the game should work just fine.
