Finally!
The solution to all your Japanese fangames troubles are in this very thread! Links provided.
Implying you read it carefully and do stuff consequtively. Otherwise, it's your problem.
Still post here if something doesn't work.
There we go:
1) Make sure you have Japanese language installed on your system - what the hell are you doing in /fg/ without that anyway?..
In case you're still here w/out it:
http://www.microsoft.com/download/en/details.aspx?displaylang=EN&id=8289 But you most probably have it already.
2) Install Applocale - it works both for XP and Win7.
http://alcahest.perso.sfr.fr/perso/apploc/applocale.html There is also a patch and some register keys on the same page, install'em all. Well, when you read that page, it's all pretty obvious.
3) Install Japanese RTP with Applocale - if you've installed all the stuff for AppLoc from the step above, you have to just right-click the RTP installer and click "Locale Japanese". DO NOT LAUNCH IT WITHOUT APPLOCALE.
http://www.famitsu.com/freegame/rtp/2000_rtp.html4) Install 7-Zip
http://www.7-zip.org/download.html This is critical to success! WinRar won't do, it messes up Japanese chars regardless of locale. Most of the time.
5) Run 7-Zip with Applocale - right-click on 7zFM.exe, choose "Locale Japanese". YOU HAVE TO MAKE IT JAPANESE LOCALED EVERY TIME YOU LAUNCH 7-ZIP!
See second post for further instructions.

YN games have baby tier japanese, all you need to know is kana plus the most common game words in japanese (get, start, continue, quit), and some basic vocabulary. Really, it's not really that much.
Polite sage for off-topic.

I downloaded the applocale from a different link, wouldn't run on Windows 7. Got an error half way through installing it. The link for the Japanese language didn't work, not available anymore. What do?
No.12128
>>12127the guide is worthless
all you ACTUALLY need to do is just set your system locale to Japanese (read: system locale, not download app locale for windows xp) and download the japanese RPG 2000 RTP if your playing 2kki.
that's literally all
you don't need to set language to Japanese lol

I want to run .flow on Android using an app called EasyRPG, it runs RPG Maker 2000 games, and works very well with Yume Nikki. However, I cannot figure out how to get .flow to work on my phone, as it has the same locale problems as always, and there don't seem to be any extractors on Android that could remedy this. Please help!

>>13954AppLocale is kind of a meme, change your system locale out right and extract the RTP with 7zip. Make sure you get it from here

No.13961
>>13957Apologies, details slipped my mind. I'm running Windows 7 Home Premium x64, trying to install the Japanese RTP for some untranslated RM2k games.
>>13958I'm using Locale Emulator and 7-zip under an admin account to unpack the files. I've used Japanese locale to download, unpack, and install the files as well, and got the installer straight from the website.
I've also tried using compatibility mode, but so far none of the options I've tried have worked either. Frankly, I'm stumped.
No.13962
>>13961That's a win7 error, I don't remember if disabling the firewall or reinstalling the 20xx C++ redistributable fixed it. I'd try the first method and if it doesn't work then bother to check which C++ was the one that fixes it.
No.13963
>>13962Tried disabling my firewall as well as my antivirus and redownloaded, unpacked, and installed. Still got the same error.
I've tried searching for info on the specific C++ distributable used, but haven't dug up anything. Are you able to give more details on it?

>>13963Welp, I tried installing all available C++ distributables. RTP setup still refuses to run. I have no idea what it wants anymore.
No.13968
>>13957From fresh installs of Windows (XP/7/10) RTP installed just fine as long as I changed my locale from the Windows settings (no isolated container meme programs) and extracted it from 7zip.
I never had to disable firewall or install C++ libraries or other hi-jinks
No.13970
>>13968See, that's the thing, I already tried extracting and installing the RTP before doing all of these tricks, and that completely failed. I'm getting the error no matter what I try, and the error message is infuriatingly vague on what I need to do to fix it.
Hm…I wonder if there's something else on my computer that might be preventing one of the apparently agreements from being met? Some sort of other program or file. Could you provide more details on your systems? How about >>13962; do you remember anything else that may have helped the RTP get working on your end?
…I'm also wondering if maybe someone with the RTP could just upload the installed files for me to manually set up in the program files, without having to bother with the installer. Though I think I may need to fiddle with the registry as well, to make sure the games know it's there? Not sure how to go about that.
Ugh. It's so annoying to think about how all this hassle could've been prevented if only the creators had bothered to include the required RTP files with their games…

So were the problem, I tried to change the locale to Japanese to play games with that problem of Japanese locale, but it not only didnt work to play those, that I couldnt play other RPG maker games that could work under not a Japanese locale, and actually worked before doing that (it said that the files were corrupted or that important couldnt be found) so I put the locale how it was originally and those games started working again, and yet those games that needed japanese locale continue not working. I also install locale emulator (because I have windows 10 and applocale isnt compatible with windows 10) and that thing is useless, I also dont know how to use it. So I have zero clue on what to do, I need help. Help is appreaciated, thanks.
No.14326
OK I've fixed my own problem (sorry). The problem I was having (for anyone else who may be unable to get their game working despite doing everything I mentioned) was that my PC was not JP localed (via control panel) when I downloaded the game, so all the files in the game with Japanese characters in their names got mojibaked, and thus the game couldn't recognise those filenames. To anyone having the same problem as me, or who simply can't get a japanese fangame working despite doing everything in here, try deleting and reinstalling the game while your PC is JP localed, to prevent japanese-named filenames from becoming mojibake. Worked for me.
No.14327
so tl;dr:
Make sure to set your PC to JP locale BEFORE downloading japanese fangames.
No.14328
>>14326>>14327Yeah, pretty much.
The error says "Can't open file Role_ゲームの流れ", which is more than likely a picture from the system, chipset, picture or character folder. As you pointed out, it's because your files had mojibake in the filenames and RPGmaker couldn't find that file, hence it was reporting that.

I can't get the Japanese 2k RTP to install for some reason. I've been running it in admin, Japanese locale, with various different compatibility settings, but nothing works. All I get is a "one or more arguments are not correct" error.
