How can I run a game in local Japanese?

[Ninja Rygar]

Is it possible to have GameEx run an exe in local japanese using AppLocale? Some of my games don't work unless you do that.

Im not sure Ive heard of that before, specifiying a specific locale for a launched program. Is such a thing possible in Windows?

I've never heard of needing to do that (course, I've never looked for it either). But, as long as you can figure out a way to manually do something, it's definitely possible to do it with scripting too. The first step is figuring out a way to get things working outside of GameEx repeatably. If you can do that, then a script (wrapper) can be written to accomplish the steps and make things cleaner.

I have heard of that, I believe a game Fate Stay Night, or some other TYPE MOON game.

I believe the trick is to have a Japanese language pack installed. Depending on your build of windows you may just need to add it.

It may work after that.

If you have a link to the program maybe we can take a look.

Remember no Warez, but a demo would be ok.

The Applocale exe allows you to create a shortcut that will run the program in that language every time. Even found a patch that removes the annoying warning.

Well, then wouldn't it be easiest to load the game via the shortcut made with Applocale? EG setup as PC game, or an emulator using *.lnk as the file extension?

That's what I did and it works fine... only problem now is, I have countless games that give me this strange problem. This only happens with PC games.

If you load it up through GameEx, after about 1 second GameEx's jukebox will begin playing again. When you exit the emulator, all I see is my desktop, with GameEx playing it's jukebox from somewhere. I have to CTRL+ALT+Delete to GameEx at that point. I have a few games that do that.

A few games? Perhaps it is a resolution switching issue, try running the games in the same resolution you run your desktop, try running gameex at that res too. Maybe the problems will go away.
