Perfect Cherry Blossom Instalation issue
Perfect Cherry Blossom Instalation issue
Hi i was wondering if anyone could help me. I bought a copy of Perfect Cherry Blossom for the PC and for the life of me i can't seem to instal it.
I'm using windows XP and i don't have any other language packs instaled on to my pc, so when any Japanese writing appear it just comes out as jibberish and symbols on my monitor.
I run the CD and i think it asks me if it's ok to instal the game into my C drive. I click on yes and then it starts to instal. I think. It then says something about not finding a folder and then stops. It's driving me batty! I have the demo on my computer and i can play that with no problems at all.
Can someone help me as i'm very eager to do have some "curtain shooting" action.
Thanks.

If your computer is like mine, what you have to do is find your installer disc for XP, and use that to install the Asian language pack (not the exact name, but it's something like that). To do it, I think you have to go onto Control Panel and then to Regional and Language Options, I think there's a link to activate the disc there...once the pack's installed, go back to the same place in R+L Options and turn Japanese on in the "non-unicode" language settings menu...then you'll hafta restart the comp. I think it's something like that...I might've messed something up though, maybe someone else could confirm whether I got it right...
Fact is, what most certainly happened was that the installation programme failed to install the sound. Try going to the folder you stated, and the game will probably be there, and will probably work. But the WAVs won't work, though.
Exactly this happened on my sister's computer when I tried Cherry Blossom there. I don't know why it happened there. To make the game fully work (with WAV-music), do as BulletMagnet says and get the japanese language installed.

That's what happened to me back when I had the demos (and before I'd installed the language pack), they would work fine except that it had Midi music...specifically, PCB and IN would work, but for some reason EoSD wouldn't...in any case, "Cherry" should be fine if what zim says is true, the midi music's still fine IMHO. To some extent I can almost say I prefer it, it sounds "happier" to me...zimeon wrote:Fact is, what most certainly happened was that the installation programme failed to install the sound.

I installed support for Asian languages on my XP pro laptop and I did not need the disc. Maybe this is a difference between the home edition and the pro edition? Not sure if you tried to install it or figured you needed the disc.Kiel wrote:I'm having the same problem but I dont have my winxp disc so I cant install the Japanese languge option.

The demos don't have WAV music to begin with.BulletMagnet wrote:That's what happened to me back when I had the demos (and before I'd installed the language pack), they would work fine except that it had Midi music...
Scarlet Devil uses japanese file names, so it's absolutely necessary to install japanese language pack to install or run the game, whereas Cherry Blossom and Imperishable Night only needs the japanese pack when installing (and only sometimes... beats me when!).BulletMagnet wrote:PCB and IN would work, but for some reason EoSD wouldn't...
However, there is a way to fix the Scarlet Devil problem, if you go into the install files and change all filenames it uses. Someone posted a fix for that on www.shrinemaiden.com (under "Problems"), so chek there if you're desperate for some grazing action.
This is a difference between laptops and non-laptops. Laptops come with Windows mounted, so basically the whole install CD is copied onto the harddisk to begin with, but it's being zipped in the background. Therefore you don't need the install CD from a laptop. Desktops, though, usually come with the CD, so...the2bears wrote:I installed support for Asian languages on my XP pro laptop and I did not need the disc.

That's too bad. I imagine the machine I have (a Compaq) must have put that stuff on the HD when Windows was installed. Can you get a disc from work or something? It's worth doing as the Japanese and Chinese websites look a lot better, no "squares" and such.Kiel wrote:It prompted me to insert the disc. XP pro...
Good luck,

YEAAA!!! I found the XP pro disk and i've installed the language pack! Shrine Maidens Bullet paterns sure are pretty.
