Visual Novels / Tomoyo After ME Region Locking
« on: May 14, 2014, 12:54:37 am »
Hello, I wasn't sure whether to put this in here or in the help section, so sorry if it's in the wrong area.
I bought a legit DVD disk of Tomoyo After ME and for the heck of it I wana see all the CGs and see how far I can get despite knowing no Japanese.
I installed the game, however there appears there be 2 different checks to make it so the game won't run on western PCs. I was able to get around the first lock by changing my timezone, however the second one appears to have to do with it not being a Japanese version of windows. I'll attach a picture for reference sake. (For the record my unicode settings and language are also both set to Japanese)
Now before I go booting up VMware and trying to track down a Japanese version of XP, is there any way I can get around it, maybe by spoofing the windows version somehow? If not I"ll try using a Japanese version of windows and see where that takes me. (I'm very bored as you can see)
