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.
No.230
6) Unpack your fangame with your Applocaled 7-Zip.
You might also need to rename your fangame folder to some English or numeric name if your fangame folder name is in Japanese/scrambled symbols. And for God's sake, make the path to your fangame short, e.g. D:/fg/flow
7) In case there's no executable file in the freshly unpacked fangame folder, download RPG_RT.exe
http://www.mediafire.com/?mmk32nn2jtm) and put it into fangame directory
9) Run RPG_RT.exe with Applocale
9a) If you still got shit and errors, go to CharSet folder inside your fangame folder, copy and paste ANY .png you find there and rename the copy into 乗り物.

Thing is is that nobody has ever said that. I've checked all the threads on this board as well as the help threads on the old board. It's either an answer to that certain picture solution or a "fuck you go find it yourself" which doesn't help anything. Whereas you actually provided an answer. I don't read Japanese and the pop-up box doesn't allow me to copy its text for translation. I didn't know those characters had to do with a name error. I'd just figured they had to do with that missing vehicle file because it always seemed that way.
Anyway my error was posted before this was stickied so I'll be re-posting it. I take it something is corrupted? What am I suppose to do?
This is with Sickmind. I already have the vehicle files in there (both English and Japanese) and made sure to unzip with 7-zip.

I don't wanna incur the OP's wrath here. I've followed the top guide to the letter, and read the whole thread. Even so, I can't solve the problem I'm having. ._.;
I'm trying to play sickmind. It loads the title screen just fine but I keep getting the represented error whenever I hit the 'new game' button. The error reads,
"sick mind ver.0.00
–––––––––
Can not open file room"
I've tried to follow everything perfectly. Japanese is installed on my computer, Applocale is installed and was used with 7zip to unzip the game in the first place as well as to run the game, I have the Japanese RTP installed via Applocale as well, the Charset folder already has a 乗り物.png… So, everything's correct. Yet…error. One that I don't really understand either.
I saw elsewhere here that somebody had trouble with a 'room' file error and figured out that they forgot to use an Applocale'd 7zip to unzip their game, which solved their problem. I'm doing this, yet I still get the error…
What I've been doing is right-clicking on 7zFM.exe, choosing Locale Japanese, then opening the game's zip via a double-click from the resulting 7zip window that pops up, before extracting all the game files out.
Or maybe (likely?) I've made some mistake along this. Thanks for any help, and sorry for noobishness.
No.6656
Ignore my previous post,
>>6655 . I eventually came to the astounding conclusion that I should perhaps examine the sickmind thread for possible tips. :V
Solved the trouble with the 'room' file, which seemed to be asking for a 部屋.png file in the ChipSet folder; I figured out what png that was exactly supposed to be and added it.
Unfortunately, while this fixed my first problem, I could only move one screen in. Upon pressing any keys when the little (help?) menu appears after starting the game, the game will crash again, this time giving the error "ファイル システム2 は開けません", or "2 file system can not be opened".
Seeing the word system in there, and the fact it happened when I pressed a key, I'd assume there's some problem involving the files in the System folder…something UI-based. Saw earlier that
>>4883 was having a similar issue, so I went ahead and logic'd that out, simply put, and I got the game to agree to the fix I did (adding newly-named system2.png files in).
Then I get yet another error next time I turn the game on. Which is what you see on the screenshot. "Door will not open files and chairs" it says.
I'm pretty sure I must've done something completely wrong to get this many file errors in a row, but I don't know what. Any clue?
Again, apologies for my being apparently kind of dumb. :s

Whenever i try to go to the 3rd or 4th ending of Debris i get this message.
"The file c cannot be opened"
Please help.
I should mention that I am using the english translated version without applocale.
It has worked well untill the ending, which really sucks.
I have tried opening it with applocale but going to the ending then results in:
"the file … cannot be opened"
No.8378
>>8374I had a similar problem.
What you have to do is run applocale.msi as administrator.
Sadly you do not have a right click option for that.
so what you do is you open start, type cmd, then right click the
command prompt and open it as administrator.
after that type in the complete directory of where applocale is.
so C:/crawling/in/my/skin/applocale.msi
I hope this works, as it did for me

I tried it with a controller and now she only moves WEST (left). It's even HARDER to move her in any other direction

No.11583
>>11582>super moonrunesIt's called mojibake.
You don't just have to run the game with applocale, but also the file extractor and everything else.
And yes, if possible, change your locale, it doesn't really affect much things actually in your system actually.
No.11584
>>11583Oh, I didn't even know it HAD a name. Thanks, mang.
Well, alright I guess I'll do that. Do I have to keep it in the Japanese locale every time I want to run it if this works?
No.11586
>>11584Depends. Do you understand japanese? If you don't then there's no real any difference between reading mojibake and japanese. However, if you actually want to see moonrunes instead of garbage, then yes; if applocale fails, you will have to set the system language to japanese and test if it works.
Again, it doesn't really affect much on windogs since the main language of the system will still be the one it came with from installation. Some special characters (Accented vowels: á, à,é, è, ô, ü, ö, etc) will be rendered as kanji or kana or other oriental symbols, but if your mother language doesn't use those then you will find almost 0 problems. Setting it permanently to japanese may be a wise choice if you run many programs with that encoding.
No.11587

Hey, was having trouble getting the RTV zip to extract on Windows 8 but no matter what I did it kept coming out as mojibake- even with jp system locale and running 7zip/winrar in Applocale. Anyway, this guy helped me out and explained that it was somehow being caused by it being a .zip, so he re-packed the RTV as a .7z and gave it to me. Fixed the mojibake, so I'd recommend it to anyone having trouble extracting the official .zip RTV (not sure what the best place to upload this would be, but I can mirror it somewhere else if anybody wants):

…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.

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.

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.
