To use it, create a directory on your machine and copy the following files to it from the Episode 4 disc (running the installer is not necessary) :

* from fullsrc, arc.nsa, arc1.nsa, and arc2.nsa
* the entire ME directory
* the entire SE directory
* the entire sys_se directory
* the entire movie directory
* the entire BGM directory

Then, download a copy of the patch, extract the archive, and place its folder inside the directory you created above. (The patch directory needs to be a subdirectory of the game directory, or you will overwrite the original arc.nsa, which you need!) Then, copy the onscripter-en file from the link I gave above to the patch directory.

You should now be able to open a terminal, cd to the patch directory, and run ./onsripter-en to play. Enjoy!

Let me know if something doesn't work...

This seems to have worked. Thank you very much!!

Hi, I noticed that your site didn't have the instructions for changing the locale in Vista. So, I've made some idiot-proof instruction pics on how to change the locale to Japanese. Use it if you want. :P

Spoiler for Instructions for Windows XP:

Note: Your computer will still be in English.
This does not change your computer's main language to Japanese. This only allows Japanese programs, like Umineko, to run.

Spoiler for Instructions for Windows Vista:

Note: Your computer will still be in English.
This does not change your computer's main language to Japanese. This only allows Japanese programs, like Umineko, to run.

Spoiler for Instructions for Windows 7:

Note: Your computer will still be in English.
This does not change your computer's main language to Japanese. This only allows Japanese programs, like Umineko, to run.

Feel free to post a question in this very topic if anybody have problems and still needs help.

I think I actually got fairly lucky, hah. All of my saves were about four screens of text behind where they loaded, so it was actually pretty easy to get back to where they were and re-save. :3

I've recently download the Translation for Alliance Of The Golden Witch, and in the read me or something like that it said that translated versions of the Openings can be put in. Does anyone know where I can download this versions?

In looking at the TIPs for Episode 4, I noticed an odd bug.

Spoiler for Screenshot, Ange's 1998 TIPs:

This is what it looks like when I go to Ange's TIPs for the 1998 characters, and click "change" to change her sprite to the one of her in her school uniform:



As you can tell, this is on my Mac. Don't know if it makes a difference or not. I did use the auto-installer from your website for Macs. (Which is awesome, BTW, kudos to whoever designed that!)

Edit: Also, found a typo on Amakusa's TIP, figured I'd put it here since it'd require more work than just changing the script, I imagine. I apologize if it's already been noticed and just not fixed yet:

Spoiler for Amakusa's TIP:

At one point, he did work as a guard for Ange, but after repeatedly breaking Eva's strict order not to talk her...

Thanks for pointing this out. Actually, a similar bug pops up with a couple of the other alternate outfits in the right-click menu. This is from the conversion of picture files over to png and effects both the Mac and Windows versions.

We'll have a fix out for this soon.

ange's bug I also noticed it in my windows xp and it happened in eva-beatrice's ep3 tip too that her uniform sprite doesn't appear

There's a few editing things I've noticed, like this sentence in Episode 1.

Spoiler for Close to the opening.:

"Whose has his face" is a bit of an awkward and incorrect phrasing. I'd imagine "whose face was set in a resigned expression" or "who had his face set in a resigned expression" would be more appropriate. Just thought I'd note it for further revisions, since even minor fixes of grammar would be nice along with the major fixes.

Considering the rest of the text is in present those alternatives brings the issue of continuity...

[Klashikari]

Thanks for the notifications. As we fixed the tips tati-e bug, we took this opportunity to add the grammar fix.

The links have been updated (the Mac version will be available later on). Unless there is a major critical change (another glitch of this kind etc), we will carry out the typo/grammar fix for the next full patch update.

[Roto]

The Mac version is now updated as well.

This is true, but the current phrasing is still far more awkward to read through than a minor continuity bit. "Whose face is set in a resigned expression" would work, too. Anyhow, just notifying someone allows them to change it to however they feel would best fit the context. :>

And thanks for the fixes~.

[UnknownBeast]

Hm... Windows 7 is coming out, and I've already seen some people asking if Umineko works on it...

And I can't really answer... >_<

So, I'm hoping W-H can do some tests to clear this up...? ^_^;;

[k//eternal]

I'm going to be getting W7 when it's out, so no worries, we'll have it figured out.

We know our grammar rules and such, and we do know an error when we see it; things just pass through sometimes. Letting us know is good enough (and greatly appreciated).

We do want the end product to be as polished as possible and put in lots of work to make it so.

[Vegitto-kun]

To be honest, I have played some VNs that got done by professionals and most of the times you guys curbstomp the pros

[Mercurius]

I've been running Windows 7 for the past couple months, and I can say that Umineko + WH Patch works just fine for me on both the RC and RTM versions without any issues. Just need to set system locale to Japanese for installation. I've gone through all 4 Episodes + TIPS + the music box a couple times and haven't had any crashes so far. Have not tried the v4.2 patch yet, will try it out sometime this week.

Now, setting up MinGW in order to try to build OnScripter on Windows 7... that's another story.

The current patch works perfectly for me.

For some reason, Umineko doesn't have any sound anymore when I try to play it. It was working fine for the last three months since I installed EP4 with the 4.1 patch, but then all of a sudden, the sound stopped working last night. The rest of my programs have normal sound, so it isn't a hardware issue, and I'm definitely running it in Japanese mode, but the sound just won't play. It's like the whole program got muted. I checked the BGM files to make sure they were all there, and they were, so it shouldn't be an issue of the game not seeing the audio files...

Then I thought to myself "I'm going to uninstall the 4.1 patch and replace it with the new 4.2 patch", and for some reason the sound started working normally again after I started playing with the 4.2 patch, until I turned my computer off overnight. Now, this evening, it refuses to play sound even with the 4.2 patch in place, so I'm not sure why that had any effect last night.

Has anyone ever experienced any issues like this, and is there anything I can do short of uninstalling and reinstalling the game? If it matters, I'm running it on Vista, though I'm not sure if Vista itself has anything to do with the issue.

Make sure you didn't turn down the sound for vista.
Ya know the mixer.
I run vista fine with the game auidio actually gets on my nerves sometimes.
try repairing the client?

[Littledgn]

Um, is it just me or does Umineko Ver B (2nd OP) not work from the music box in the latest patch? Works just fine from the folder although they are the subbed versions from the Witch Hunt website.
