I know several have PMed me for having a place to put up announcements of their translation projects for the parts that the anime will not cover. If you have them, feel free to utilize this thread for your notices and the like.

HOWEVER, PLEASE REFRAIN FROM ANY ACTIVITY THAT HINDERS PEOPLE FROM BUYING THE ORIGINAL GAME! Seeing such comments such as "I don't feel like playing the game because I'm too lazy" or "Can someone post the game on a torrent, I don't wanna buy it," etc. etc were the main reason why I had my doubts why I should even bother giving out details for the final two chapters.

Regards,

Useful info from this thread so people can avoid flipping through several pages of text and asking redundant questions (which I believe there still we be since some people just jump right into asking questions without reading the first post):

1. Make sure your system is Japanese enabled.
You can find step-by-step instructions how to enable Japanese read/write capability for English language based Windows XP here.

2. Download the trial version of Higurashi no Naku Koro Ni game
You can do so at the official site to check and see if the game will actually run on your system or not. This is only the trial version of the actual game itself, so it will only allow you to play Onikakushi-hen (albeit in Japanese, of course).

3. BUY THE GAME
There are a two places that I know of where you can buy this game online outside of Japan. These include paletweb and HimeyaShop. If you find others, let me know so I can post them here.

These are the two that you only need to buy:

Higurashi no Naku Koroni Himatsubushi-hen
Comike 66 (2004.08.13)
Included chapters:
Chapter 1: Onikakushi-hen
Chapter 2: Watanagashi-hen
Chapter 3: Tatarigoroshi-hen
Chapter 4: Himatsubushi-hen
paletweb link: http://www.paletweb.com/selectpage.asp?code=9900000423
HimeyaShop link: http://www.himeyashop.com/product_in...oducts_id/2237

Higurashi no Naku Koroni Kai Matsuribayashi-hen
Comike 70 (2006.08.13)
Included chapters:
Chapter 5: Meakashi-hen
Chapter 6: Tsumihorobishi-hen
Chapter 7: Minagoroshi-hen
Chapter 8: Matsuribayashi-hen
paletweb link: http://www.paletweb.com/selectpage.asp?code=00572
HimyaShop link: http://www.himeyashop.com/product_in...oducts_id/4952

4. Get the English patch
You can obtain the patch from zettai.makenaidesuwayo.com. Instructions are clearly listed there, so read them carefully. I have no idea whether they are going to list the patches on the same page or not (it would be better if they did to avoid confusion as it comes out), but the currently available patch is for the Minagoroshi-hen prologue only. Any subsequent patches (if any) will be posted here as an update.

Unfortunately (as I have predicted it would happen), the group who was trying to translate the other chapters seemed to have dropped out. So if you want to play the four chapters from the Question arc and the first two chapters in the Answer arc in order to see what you missed from the anime...the only way to do it is to play it with a Japanese dictionary at hand. However, I have seen people who have sweated and toiled through one chapter, who end up being surprised at how much their level of Japanese proficiency has increased by the next chapter. Perhaps it is time for you to undergo that challenge...so that you won't bug me with incessant questions like "Is [sic] their an English patch lol" everytime a game-based anime comes around.
