Last night, I happened across a nice little doujin game in this thread (http://www.anonib.com/_nyou2/index.php?t=496) over on another board. It involves a fireworks festival that provides your character opportunities to take pictures of desperate girls.
Copied from the game maker's site (http://mywiki.jp/arabes/ShikkinADV/Shikkin128) (via google translation (http://translate.google.com/translate?hl=en&sl=ja&u=http://mywiki.jp/arabes/ShikkinADV/Shikkin128&ei=mVOOSePqMJqWsAODhon3CA&sa=X&oi=translate&resnum=1&ct=result&prev=/search%3Fq%3Dhttp://mywiki.jp/arabes/ShikkinADV/Shikkin128/%26hl%3Den%26safe%3Doff%26client%3Dfirefox-a%26rls%3Dorg.mozilla:en-US:official%26hs%3DWl0)):
The purpose of this game, and the scenes to settle a wee girl, pictures of the scene had to pay to a careless mistake. In the sale of photos, take better photos and get a new camera and accumulating money, you have a goal of the game.
The game itself is on rapidshare (http://rapidshare.com/files/155883397/128r1_0.zip.html) (it was on megaupload too, but got deleted). It's a non-unicode text format, so XP users need applocale, and vista users can set the system language to Japanese. The patch.xp3 file on the second page of that thread translates a few of the options in the store. Also, the .zip file has a password (it's 'Shikkin128'), which apparently caused vista to break it during extraction, so I extracted with winrar instead.
And finally, there appears to be a utility that can decode the contents of the data.xp3 file itself, which someone with the time and ability could use to translate the whole game.
Enjoy!
I was going to work on the translations, the only issue I have is that I can't get the decoded source showing up in Japanese. It just shows up in gibberish. Aside from that, I can modify the source without a problem.
For example, I made this change to the source (patch.xps):
http://www.megaupload.com/?d=GCA4Q0K6
Gives you 999999 money. :)
What are you opening it in? If you could upload the decoded source (or even just the script segment, if it's separated somehow) we could probably figure it out easier.
I've tried opening it in PSPad and Crimson Editor.
I can view Japanese on websites fine, just not sure why I can't view it in editors.
[EDIT] Got it. I use JWPce and it edits fine. If anyone has any translations, let me know and I'll edit the code. I'm working on some translations now using Translation Aggregator.
[EDIT 2] Translation patch (rev 0.1) up for download:
http://www.animegirldesp.com/index.php?ind=downloads&op=entry_view&iden=115
Simply put the file in the same directory as the exe file for the game.
When is it crashing? I run the game in Windows 7 without crashes.
I think I saw support for multiple patches in the code. Try uh naming one as ... patch2.xp3
useArchiveIfExists("patch.xp3");
// 'ljÁ,̃pƒbƒ`—pƒA[ƒJƒCƒu,ÌŒŸõ
for(var i = 2; ; i++)
{
// ƒpƒbƒ`—pƒA[ƒJƒCƒu patch2.xp3, patch3.xp3 ... ,ª, ,éê‡,Í,»,¿,ç,ð
// —Dæ,µ,Ä"Ç,Ýž,Þ,æ,¤,É
if(Storages.isExistentStorage(System.exePath + "patch" + i + ".xp3"))
Storages.addAutoPath(System.exePath + "patch" + i + ".xp3>");
else
break;
}
Was working on character names last. One is named "Moe" though lol, so I don't know if I should leave that or not. It just sounds wrong in English (unless you know the slang moe).
Are you around girls? If you turn the camera on near the bathroom, it should have girls there. If not, something is wrong.
Can you screenshot what the camera is showing when you turn it on next to a bathroom?
It freezes your laptop or something?
Here's my workstation when I'm editing the code:

Made a website for the translation: http://shikkin128en.googlepages.com/
Wow, thread has been unusually active.
Vista advice:
Go to control panel -> Regional and Language Options -> Administrative -> Change System Locale
Pick Japanese (duh). Reboot.
After that, it'll either work or the error message will be displaying in kana/kanji instead of '?'s. If the error message mentions startup.tjs, try opening the zip file in winrar instead of double clicking it. My guess is that Vista's explorer is having a problem with applying the password and it's corrupting the data.xp3 file.
On exiting: If you exit the game from the menu while sound is playing (or possibly just during gameplay) it'll start to consume infinite cpu cycles. Closing it during the ending credits sometimes does that and sometimes not. You can try to deal with it by keeping task manager open and just end tasking the exe after closing it.
Oh, and you could mention something about all this on the googlepages site if you want, to cut down on the questions.
I would suggest keeping Moe. I think enough of us in the relevant community know the slang, and I for one didn't even notice it sounds like another name in English. Also, I think it can be spelled Yuuna just as easily as Yuna. Maybe one is under a different transliteration system than the other, or based on different kanji.
I'd link to this thread, but guests can't even view it (and I think they need posts to view it too if they register). I did link to this site though at the bottom.
I'll keep Moe then. Oh and I think it was "yuuna" in the source, but technically should be Yūna I think.
1) Yes, I extracted all the images but they are .tlg format and I don't know what would open that.
2) If you buy the best (secret) camera, it should be a full view.
It'd be great if you wanted to help translate. Not sure how we would handle it together, what if I just post what I need help with? Like starting with:
ふ～、ようやく着いた。
今日は川沿いで花火大会があるから、きっといい我慢シーンが撮れるぞ。
[EDIT] Or maybe it would be better to handle this translation stuff in a shared Google Doc. I may have another translator willing to help.
[EDIT 2] Yeah, Google Docs is better to use. I've created a spreadsheet. If you're up for helping out, PM me an email you have and I'll share the Doc with that email.

Yes, with multiple ways to transliterate things, so it's best to just pick one and stick with it (you do see the former style more often on the internet though, what with the added difficulty of producing non-ascii characters on a keyboard).
As best I can tell, the final camera becomes available after selling 99 different pictures.
I've got a character page up now too:
http://shikkin128en.googlepages.com/characters
Glad to see people are working on this. Can't wait to read all the text in English.

Your megaupload link doesn't work.
The Rapidshare link on the game homepage should work.
I edited the OP too. Thanks for pointing it out.
Is there an ETA for the next update for the translation of this game?
Haven't gotten any word from 2 translators who may or may not help out.
Was working on labeling the girls (character page up, but want to get sprites). I did some more translations (girls saying line is too long, etc) but not enough to warrant a new release.
New translation patch up on the site.
I found a new character name Yuri/Lily, strange. I've only see her mentioned once with the vending machine.
I haven't even gotten everything done in the game, so testing it is hard. Any idea how to activate other events? I've only gotten to grab the one girls hand and hold her until she yet herself.
From what I can tell every distinct sprite in the game has its own name, even the ones that never do anything. Did Yuri/Lily have a unique line or was it one of the generic lines?
I have everything in the game done, so I could post a walkthrough or something if you'd like. Or even just some general hints (since it's always more fun figuring things out for yourself).
edit: and I'm currently writing a general progression guide in the Nyou forum thread. I'll probably put a more detailed walkthrough here eventually if someone asks.
I would like a detailed walkthrough. Mainly because I've figured out all I can and only have around 4 progression chart pcitures to go - but I also just want to get every photo that can be taken.
Well I can't really give instructions for every picture, but you can usually tell which ones you're missing based on its position on the 'album' screen. The first ones are usually easiest to get, the last require advanced tools or upgraded hidden cameras. Also, every girl other than Ami has at least one hidden camera picture, and they often come in sets of 3 or 4. I'll get to work on the walkthrough.
I finally finished the walkthrough so here it is, stretched across multiple posts to avoid a wall-o-text.
This will assume you already know the basic controls and game mechanics, and you recognize each of the nine girls by name. It will focus on getting the pictures required for progression as quickly as possible. In addition to those specifically mentioned, go ahead and take all the pictures you have time for in order to get the best camera sooner, or just because it's fun.
Day one:
Your goal for the first run is to buy the FX-10 camera and use it for the pictures of Haruka and Moe wetting (none of the cell phones take a good enough picture to get the reward, and the other two large cameras are too expensive to be worth bothering with). The most convenient target for this initial money is Haruka, when she runs past the video store on her way to the train station. So start out by just wandering around, exploring the map or getting used to the path the girls take when they arrive. Then at around 60:00 get to the northeast corner of the riverbank, where Haruka sits. Wait until 68:00, and see her stand up with her desperation icon already yellow. That's always a promising sign. She immediately checks the nearest bathroom, but it's far too crowded. Follow her south from there to the convenience store, and keep her on screen as she heads west. When she stops and asks you where the restroom is, pick the first option to tell her about the bathroom at the train station. Take as many pictures as you want before she gets there, then stop at the video store to sell them and get more film. 50 or so should be enough. Standing outside the video store, you should be able to take pictures worth 360 each with the starting camera while she checks the station bathroom and turns around. Get 5000 money and buy the third camera (high-end cell phone). With that the pictures are worth up to 1080. When you get to 25000, buy the FX-10 and plenty of film, then follow Haruka north. She gets to the park entrance and wets herself right outside. Take your pictures but be sure not to use up all the film. After a few seconds, Moe shows up. She tries the park bathroom, but there's someone already there, so she has to go around behind it to relieve herself instead. Stand directly behind her until she notices you, causing her to pull her pants back up and start to walk away, only to wet herself after the first step. Take pictures of that and whatever else you want before going back to the video store and selling all the pictures you have. Selling the two accident pictures should give you a special message, which means you just got a remote camera. From now on, you should be able to easily get as much money as you need, so buy plenty of film and everything under 'buy other', then just wait until 128 and sit through the credits.
Once you're back at the title screen, click Hint/Chart to take a look at the progression chart. The two pictures you took should be there, and the text to their right means that you got the remote camera rewards for selling them. From now on, go ahead and check this screen after every run to make sure you got the pictures you need to progress.
Day two:
Today, you'll be getting the other four accident pictures you need for the first hidden camera upgrade. Start by placing your initial, semi-useless remote cameras (press 'i' while standing on a bathroom door tile. I suggest starting with the ones in the southeast and northeast). Notice that now you can see the line at that bathroom as long as the door is on screen. Check the store to make sure you bought the lost cell phone, then go to the riverbank to wait for a call at 49:00. The voice on the phone is asking "Iwao-kun" if he's coming to see the fireworks with her, so pick the first option twice. That tells Ayumi to wait a little longer for you/him to get there. This causes her to wait until 63:00, and by then her desperation icon is yellow. So she gets up and runs to the northeast bathroom, but once again the line is too long, so she keeps going south just like Haruka did. It's tempting to follow her, but right now you have something else to do. Cross the street and turn west to find Nozomi, who also just saw the line at the northeast bathrooms. then follow Nozomi. Follow her until she reaches a store of some sort (I think it's a karaoke bar) west of the parking lot, and goes inside to wait in line. After a few seconds she decides she can't wait anymore and leaves, heading south. Follow her down to the little grassy area by the train tracks, and stand right behind her until she sees you and runs away. Now for this next part you need to hurry. Run all the way back to the crosswalk, go all the way south, then west until you see Ayumi. Unlike the two from yesterday, you don't need to take a picture of her accident for your reward, just her wet pants afterwards. So get your pictures and run back to the crosswalk again, then turn west to see Nozomi approaching. She makes it to the crosswalk before wetting herself, and you get 'accident' picture #4. After that, go south and wait at the convenience store. Yuna and Minori arrive and stand in line together (you probably saw them on the way there too). First Minori decides she can't wait any more and leaves, then Yuna does the same. Follow them both to the parking lot to the north and wait until Minori starts to relieve herself. You can get a picture of her from the side, but the one you need is from behind, with Yuna watching her. Getting enough value on this one with the FX-10 is a little tricky, so take a lot of pictures. From what I can tell you need to have most of both girls in the frame. After that, follow Yuna when she walks away. She gets all the way to the grass at the northeast corner of the map and wets before she can get her pants down. You seem to need to be standing one tile behind her to get the picture. After that, time is almost up, so wait for 128 and sit through the credits again.
Day three:
First, sell the pictures you got yesterday, or at least the four special ones. The Minori+Yuna shot needs to sell for at least 4000. After selling the last one, the option "buy wireless camera" should appear on the store menu. Buy seven "Enhanced wireless camera kit"s (called "Kit1" in your little inventory window), then run around the map placing your four new remote cameras and upgrading them all. After upgrading a camera to level 2, you can set its timer by pressing 'i' while standing on the door. Set the one in the convenience store for 75 and the one in the park for 85. From now on I'll refer to all the bathrooms by their number, according to the order their timers appear in the little window. Buy more film if you want, then go to the riverbank and wait. Go ahead and take pictures of all the girls sitting down (most have multiple positions) to unlock the best camera sooner. When Ayumi calls, pick the first option twice again (from now on I'll call this saying yes). Now you can spend the rest of the run doing whatever you want, because all you need from this run is the two hidden camera pictures I said to set earlier. If Haruka asks for directions, select the second option (which makes her do the same thing as if she hadn't talked to you). Other than that, you can watch Nozomi relieve herself at the train tracks, or follow Yuki, Ami or Moe as they look for a bathroom to use. The other hidden cameras can be set to catch a few interesting pictures too, including room 1 at 89, room 5 at 8, and room 6 at 53, but they won't be saved for the Bonus/Album screen and don't count towards your total for the best camera. At 128 the credits roll, so enjoy the little slide show.
The next part is technically optional. It gives three pictures that appear on the chart but don't unlock new rewards, and therefore aren't required for progression. They are, however, needed for the ending movie, which requires every other picture on the chart. So feel free to come back to it later.
Day four:
As soon as you walk into the video store today, you should get some text mentioning Haruka and Ayumi, and when you leave, "Ask for paper(?)" should be at the end of your commands list. That's your new reward. It's an "out-of-order" sign, and what you have to do is give it to a girl and pay her to hang it on the door of the next bathroom she uses. However, there are only three girls in the game who will actually do it. Go up to the riverbank and find where Ai sits near the east side. One tile up and one tile right from her should be a girl with blue hair and a blue checkered skirt (she arrives around 20:00). Stand on her and press 'd' to give her the sign. Her text should mention the number 5000, which is how much money you pay her for this little favor. When Ayumi calls, tell her yes once again, and follow her or Yuki to check room 5, where they find it overcrowded as usual. They both go south to use room 2 instead, but this time your little helper (her name...) has just used her sign to close the bathroom for the next 10 minutes. Yuki sees this and turns around, heading to room 3. Don't follow her, though, because Ayumi keeps going, trying to make it to room 1, and she doesn't get very far before she wets herself and gives you one of today's optional accident pictures. Afterwards, go right until you see Haruka making her usual desperate trip. She should be checking the convenience store bathroom right on schedule, and finding it closed clearly isn't any more helpful than finding a line outside. Wait in the usual place for her to ask you for directions, and this time pick the third option. She stands there for several minutes, says something else, stands there for a few more minutes, and finally tries to go. If you have both of the maps and the sunglasses, you'll have the option to grab her hand, which locks you both in place. She says something else, than wets herself right in front of you. Doing this part doesn't actually require you to close room 2, but it's the first convenient time to get the picture. After that, hurry back to the crosswalk and turn west, where you should see Yuki, now with a red icon. She waited in line at room 3, but gave up and went down to the tracks. When she found Nozomi in the middle of relieving herself there, she turned around and came back this way. Follow her all the way up to the tall grass near the vending machine, where she finally wets herself. Then she goes to room 5 to clean up, and if you set the timer right you can get a picture of it.
Day five:
Not nearly as much to do this time, you just need to use the sign to close the park bathroom. For that, give the sign to the little girl with green hair who sits right next to Moe near the west end of the riverbank, next to the train tracks. She arrives at about 40:00, and charges 8000 money for her assistance. Give her the sign and set the timer on room 4 for 85, then do whatever until Haruka gets moving. She gets to the park bathroom just in time to see that it's closed before she wets herself outside the door, and when you watch the credits it should be a different scene from the one on day 2.
Day six:
Enter the store, read the text, and and buy the handcuffs. There are two more chart pictures to be had with these, and either one is enough for progression. I'll do Nozomi's today, but first check for "enhanced wireless camera kit 2", which should be available now. You only need one, because apparently there's a bug when upgrading from level 2 to level 3. I'm not exactly sure what's going on, but it consumes kit1 instead of kit2. Anyway, a level 3 camera takes 4 different pictures at once if it catches an accident in a stall, but only 1 when a girl is just cleaning up. So set the timers, answer Ayumi's call or ignore it, and be at the tracks when Nozomi gets there at 79:00. As soon as she steps onto your tile, hit 'f' to apply the handcuffs, and follow her back to room 3. She can't seem to open the bathroom door with her hands cuffed, so after a little struggling with it and some talking, she wets herself right at the door. That's all for today, so go do whatever until 128.
Day seven:
The store should now have diuretic for sale under 'buy other'. There's still another chart picture for the handcuffs column, but it's similar to the one I'm going to describe here, so you should be able to figure it out. First, buy at least two diuretics and go up to the riverbank. Walk into the red vending machine directly west of room 5, pick the first option and wait. At 20:00, Ai walks up and falls victim to your little trap. Immediately set another one, which Minori gets when she uses the vending machine at 36:00. Meanwhile, Ai is surprised by how badly she has to go, and by the time she gets up her desperation icon is yellow. It turns red halfway to the bathroom, and even though the line there is short, she has an accident as soon as she gets inside. Set your timer if you haven't already (anything between 46 and 53 should work), then go back to Minori. Her icon is already red when she stands up, and as usual there's a line at room 5. So she keeps going, and wets herself at the crosswalk. Next you need to close room 2, so go ahead and give the sign to that blue-haired girl now. Then just get to the train tracks area before Nozomi. Stand there to make her leave, then wait for Yuki to arrive. Use the handcuffs on Yuki and take a few pictures before Ami appears. As you may have seen by now, Ami usually uses room 6 after seeing the line at room 5. Today, however, Ai was still cleaning up after her accident, so Ami waited a little while(?) before giving up and checking room 3, then coming to the train tracks just like Nozomi and Yuki. If Ai doesn't take the diuretic, you can still handcuff Yuki, which results in that second picture from the handcuff column that we skipped earlier. Right now, however, walk south a few tiles to get the first picture, which involves being near Ami while she's approaching. When she reaches Yuki, you'll automatically handcuff the two of them together, so take your pictures and enjoy the show. There's a total of 10 right here, and if you don't have the 'BIG camera' yet, go back to the store afterwards to unlock it for tomorrow.
Day eight:
There's planty more to do with the diuretic, but the Ami + Yuki set unlocked something new, so I'll cover that before going back for the rest. You don't get any more tools just yet, but if you walk onto the train platform entrance, you'll see that there are now six departure times available instead of three. That's where the next tool is unlocked, but first there's some preparation to do. Go close room 2 again using the blue-haired girl, and after Yuki gets there at about 70:00, go back to the train station and pick 90:00. Yuki is there as soon as you get on, so just watch and wait.
Day nine and beyond:
Yuki's train accident unlocks the final reward, the glue, which means that from now on every picture in the game is accessable if you know what to do. To use it, stand on one of the nine girls and press 'a', although there are only a few places it will actually work. From now on, instead of giving instructions I'm just going to list the remaining chart pictures and the necessary steps to reach them.
diuretic column-
first picture: Ai drinks the diuretic, wets herself inside room 6 and takes a while cleaning up which sends some of the girls trying to use it to room 3 instead. Then handcuff Nozomi so she goes back there, finds a line, and has her accident while one of the other girls there to get the handcuffs off.
second picture: Yuki + Ami, covered in day seven.
third picture: Ai in room 6, covered in day seven.
fourth picture: Minori at the crosswalk, covered in day seven.
fifth picture: Ai drinks the diuretic, sending Ami to room 3. When she gets to the train tracks and doesn't find Yuki there, handcuff her by herself.
sixth picture: Moe drinks the diuretic but Ai doesn't. Put it in the vending machine between 36:00 and 45:00, then set the timer on room 6 to go off while Moe is inside.
train column-
first picture: Haruka wetting herself on the 76:00 train. Just pick 76:00 and watch the doorR area.
second picture: Yuki on the train, covered in day eight.
glue column-
first picture: Nozomi sees you at the train tracks and walks away, when she's all the way back up to the street and walking slowly, use the glue to make her fall down and wet herself.
second picture: Yuki finds room 2 closed and ends up at the train tracks. Use the glue on her when she's almost there. She won't be able to unzip her shorts, and wets herself with them still on.
third picture: Moe drinks the diuretic but Ai doesn't(?). This way when Ami gets to room 6, ... and she ends up walking down to the grassy area between room 5 and the vending machine. Use the glue on her when she gets there to make her fall down and wet herself.
fourth picture: Ayumi waits for Iwao-kun, and when he doesn't arrive she runs down to room 2 to find it closed. Use the glue on her as she's walking away to make her fall down and wet herself a little earlier than she would otherwise.
fifth picture: Room 2 was closed earlier, either by the usual blue-haired girl or a white-haired one who closes it at about 25:00. As a result, the line is a little shorter than usual when Yuna gets there later. Use the glue on her while she's in line (unlike all the other girls, she apparently doesn't notice what you're doing), so that when she gets into the bathroom she can't unzip her tights and wets herself with them still on.
sixth picture: Minori either wet herself at the crosswalk earlier or was able to use room 5 (because Ayume didn't try to wait for Iwao-kun), so she doesn't end up relieving herself in the parking lot. While Yuna is standing in line at room 2, use the glue on her. When she decides the line is too long, she goes to the parking lot, but can't unzip her tights and wets herself with them still on.
So now I'm gonna necrobump the thread to ask if reseph is still working on that translation. Otherwise I might just try it myself.
That's one thing Vista makes slightly easier at least.
And in case anyone was wondering, "dechauyo" is apparently impossible to machine translate. Google and ATLAS are useless, and Babelfish can't even figure out it's a word.
(From B.u.S.: Please don't double post!)
I'm reaching a point where machine translation is near useless. Don't know any Japanese, so I'd need a real translator before I can continue. I will release as many patches as I can until I get to the point where machine translations don't help.
Between machine translation, my own experience (namely watching a lot of subbed anime), and a little guesswork, I've translated about half of the text. Still working on the handcuff, diuretic and glue scenarios, and some of the formatting. Also, I'm not going to try to translate the names of every girl, just the main 9.
Anyway, patch attached.
I like this game soo much! So much thanks for game creators. Also if they need extra help for new versions i can help as a programmer or maybe they want port this game for new platform (maybe java, c++ or web(php)) also i can help this.
Sorry for bad english.
I can't speak very well yet.
Ok, I think it's finished now. All the game text should be translated, and I might get around to the hints sometime soon. I'll post it on nyou forums and /d/ tomorrow. Enjoy!
Quote from: B.u.S. on March 17, 2009, 09:20:03 AM
I'll have to do this game again sometime ;)
Depends if I can be bothered to re-download...
Is there any way we can hack the game so that you get a full-screen cam all the time?
One more thing - can the guide be given in a format with images of the map, such as in Powerpoint please?
I don't remember the download being particularly large. Anyway, making the final camera initially available would be really easy, but I have neither the means to make anything in powerpoint nor any idea how to go about it if I did. And I may be just speaking for myself here, but sometimes figuring things out is part of the fun.
There, camera cheat is attatched. It's a quick and dirty hack that simply replaces the default camera, so starting over with no save file gives you the fullscreen camera from the start. And best of all, it'll combine with the translation patch simply by putting them both in the game directory, as long as the cheat is named patch2.xp3.
I wouldn't be surprised if the money patch is breaking something in the English patch, because I've never looked at it, and the trick I used to translate the names is pretty delicate. Fortunately, however, the money patch is also completely unnecessary, because with the camera patch you can literally get all the money you'll ever need in five minutes. Decent fullscreen pictures are worth like 5000-10000 each, so just sell 10 copies and forget about money for the rest of the game. English must be patch.xp3 and camera must be patch2.xp3 (otherwise the file with the camera hack gets overwritten). If something is going wrong with just those two, it either means I made a mistake somewhere or there's something else wrong.
Yes, you can combine patches. See my site:
http://shikkin128en.googlepages.com/
QuoteIf you have multiple patches to use (like the cheat), you can name other patch files patch2.xp3, patch3.xp3, etc.
He said he already tried that and it broke something. Because we're using the same files, whichever patch is applied last can undo part of what's done in the others. And if that's causing a problem, the only way to combine them is to open up the patches and edit the overlapping file to make them agree.
BuS: you're right. You are lazy. Fortunately though, you should be able to start the game once with the money patch, wait for time to run out, exit, replace it with the other patches, and keep all the money in your save file. It would take a really innovative money hack to make that break something.
Would you mind if I put your patch up on the Googlepage site? Gonna remove any credits about myself (don't really care) and if you want to be credited let me know.
Been busy lately so I can't remember what your patch had done, but did you ever find the code for the train text? I don't remember being able to find that.

diuretic column-
sixth picture: Moe drinks the diuretic but Ai doesn't. Put it in the vending machine between 36:00 and 45:00, then set the timer on room 6 to go off while Moe is inside.
timer is 69
66 67 can't take all picture [i haven't try 68 yet]
i set time from hint time +3
Does anything special have to be done to get this to run in Windows 2000? I can not install AppLocale as it says it is only for Windows XP and Server 2003.
Think all you have to do is Change the Regional and Language options in your Control Panel then.
I went ahead and changed both location and Standards and Formats .

Go right ahead. I actually forgot all about the train text, but it looks like a lot of it is in train.ks (which was included in your original patch, when you translated the prompts and stuff).
And yes, Windows other than XP don't need applocale, you just change the native language settings.
Can someone (pretty please) translate Shikkin Adventure, at least with the translator?

Do it yourself. It's not like you need any special skills or knowledge of Japanese or anything. All I used was agth, ATLAS, translate.google.com, notepad and something called xp3tools to extract and repackage the .xp3 files. All the programs besides xp3tools should be linked in this thread or the other one about windows games. It might help if you can pronounce katakana and watch subbed anime sometimes (machine translation doesn't recognize idioms, after all), but I'm guessing that's not exactly rare around here.
lrnj.com is nice for learning to read katakana/hiragana if anyone's interested.
i´ve gotten every pic in the hint chart expect glue number 3 with ami...when I use the glue on her as she makes her way to squat, I only get the generic "pushes you away" text. can somebody help me out?:)
So whats the chances of getting a virus from this site?
>_> i just got my computer repaired from Vundo trojan, not fun at all.

so nobody managed that yet?
I tried to dl this but zipeg wont extract "data.xp3"
That gave me problems too, I'm guessing because of the password. Use winrar.
Unless I'm mistaken, you have to use the glue on Ami when she gets to the grassy area after she tries waiting in line at the upper left corner. Her only glue picture is obtained there, in the grass behind room 5 (upper right area).

Forced into Necromancy...the horror. I can't get this exact same picture. I basically spam the a button when she's in the general area, but she basically ignores me and squats, saying there's no one around. Do I need to do something other than have Moe use the diuretic perhaps, like close a bathroom or something? Maybe someone can translate this picture's hint?
Again, sorry for the necromancy...
Well, it looks like my instructions for that picture were incorrect. There are two ways for Ami to reach the grassy area: if she does so immediately after leaving bathroom 6, you can get one picture, while if she goes to the train tracks, sees Yuki there and then goes to the grassy area, you can get two others, including the one that's in the hints screen and therefore required to unlock the ending video.
The actual procedure is: use diuretic in the vending machine before Ai reaches it. Then give the sign to the blue-haired girl near the right side of the riverbank, between Ai and Haruka. Ai will occupy bathroom 6, preventing Ami from using it; the sign will close bathroom 2, preventing Yuki from using it. Then you meet Nozomi at the train tracks, causing her to run away. Use glue on Yuki shortly before she reaches the tracks, so she's still there when Ami arrives. All of this causes Ami to approach the grassy area from the south, which allows you to use the glue on her for that last 'special' picture.
I'm sorry for the confusion, although on the plus side it did cause me to revisit this enjoyable game.
Success! Thanks EnragedFilia for your walkthrough as well as your response, it was a great help!
Having a bit of a problem trying to run this... I have Windows 7, and apparently it doesn't like Applocale. But even so, to start the game I need to be clicking the "krkr" file, with the fish symbol, right?
Yes, use krkr.exe, with the fish icon. I never had to use applocale, I simply set my (Vista) language settings to Japanese and restarted. The last time we tried to troubleshoot this was before Windows 7 release, but go ahead and compare the failure mode you're getting to the earlier parts of the thread.
I'm using XP here. It should be working, but I keep getting "syntax error, unnexpected 'T' symbol". How can I fix this?
That means you haven't switched your OS language to Japanese (or if you have, it didn't work). I use Vista, but there should be some instructions near the beginning of the thread. It should be in control panel > language and region or something to that effect. Switch language, reboot and see if it works.
just a heads up, those not using professional edition of windows 7 will not be able to switch thier os's language. Whelp.
