Good to hear about the progress of the translation. Unfortunately, my knowledge of Japanese isn't really good enough to help, but I wish you the best of luck with wrapping this thing up!

Well, as some of you have already heard, Ryuukishi has announced that a booklet called "Our Confession" will be released at the next Comiket (Dec. 31), containing answers to at least some of the puzzles and mysteries.
Which means I can now guarantee that we'll have the EP8 translation released before Comiket. With another editor or two, we might have it ready by the first week of December, assuming nothing major comes up.

That's great! I look forward to reading the translation.

Although I'm guessing someone will translate it anyway, regardless.

Our exams are starting now, so I don't mind you not completing the patch before 15th december.. Or I might fail this year. :P
Must admit that Our Confession sounds interesting. Will you translate that too? EDIT: I just remember that I can play the PS3 version simultainiously with ep the PC version, meaniong my first experience with it will be with voice acting ... Any new information released regarding that limited edition of nocturne gives? Last edited by Witch of Uncertainty; 2011-11-17 at 17:50. |

IIRC, Witch-Hunt got a letter from Ryu basically saying that he was pretty much 100% ok with the translation project, and thanked them for it. He also put the name of the project in the game.
So unless there was some weird legal thing (it's a booklet, so I wouldn't think there would), it should be fine. |

I believe it's similar to what Rei was to Higurashi, but apart from that I'm not sure.
For episodes 1-4, download Windows patch from here and run. For episodes 5-8, download Windows patch from here and run. Thank you Yirba, but I already downloaded the patch through for episodes 5-8. I think I may have gotten to the crux of the problem. When I tried to run the japanese version (unicode enabled), it came with an error message that looked like this define 099.txt line:2 | | > There is Japanese kanji before and after "define". Would anyone know what this error means because I believe is showed up during the patch installation. |

Please re-download the patch from the official site, like Yirba suggested. http://witch-hunt.com/stage8d.html |

Only problem I see with the 'Our Confession' booklet is that, unlike the game, a translation of it wont be able to incorporate a way to ensure they have a copy of the original version. Unless 'booklet' just means its short or something and not physical paper
Great news on early December! Looking forward to finally being caught up with all the japanese who already finished with Umineko. Gotta get my inspiration pumped up to get me off my ass and finish painting Eva-Beatrice, Beato is getting lonely all alone

And to be honest, I don't think a code is really necessary. I don't think readers exactly need to be 'locked away' from spoilers for fear they'd read them. If they don't want to read spoilers, they should just not read it, simple.

Okay I'm at the part of the installer where it says "Japanese game files required". So I try to put the location of my installer file and I see this message:
"The specified file does not exist. Please insert the DVD or enter the download installer location, and try again." The only way I could continue the process and click "next" is if I put the file location as: C:\Users\Name\Documents\UMINEKO8_DL\UMINEKO8_DL\Um ineko8\うみねこのなく頃に散.exe So, is the .exe file (うみねこのなく頃に散.exe) the only thing I have to put on the installer location? Then, it takes me to the "Ready to Install" part and when I click "Install", the Japanese version starts to run. Is this suppose to happen? Next, the screen says, "extracting downloaded archive Please wait..." (this is the small screen witht the Beatrice thumbnail) and it's taking forever. When I say taking forever I mean the "extracting files from download bar" bar makes no progress. |

Hmm, interesting. It's not supposed to accept a random exe file. I will look into this for the next release. Can I PM or email you with more specific questions, if I encounter any problems?
To answer your question, you should point it at the exe file you downloaded from Hobibox, so the 'installer' that created your UMINEKO8_DL directory. |
