Basic Information
Even though Yume 2kki can be an amazing gaming experience, installing it can be a real hassle. The main point of this page is to make installation easier. The operating system you're using determines how difficult it will be to make the game work.
Windows XP
Step 1 - Installing files for East Asian Languages
Go to Control Panel.
Go to Regional and Language Options.
Tick the "Install files for East Asian Languages" checkbox .
Press OK.
At this point, Windows will begin the install. It'll probably ask for a CD, so have one nearby.
Step 2 - Installing pApplocale and the Context Menu registry thing
Download pApplocale here.
Download this attachment Context Menu.zip here. Install pApplocale to its default location.
Extract Context Menu.zip and double click Install.reg.
To uninstall, double click on Uninstall.reg
(pApplocale is a modified version of applocale that skips the annoying step-by-step thing every time you want to start a program. The Install.reg is a registry file that adds the option to Run with pApplocale to the right-click menu on Windows).
Step 3 - Downloading and installing the Japanese RPG Maker 2000 RTP
Download the RPG maker 2000 RTP here.
When it finishes downloading, double-click it and it will extract somewhere. This is not the installation. After extracting, go to the folder you extracted it to and use pApplocale when running RPG2000RTP.exe (right-click -> Japanese locale).
Install it normally. If you did everything right, you'll see no errors. Most common errors are the installer freezing or stop working at some .wav files. If this happens, your applocale isn't installed correctly.
Step 4 - Downloading the most recent version of Yume 2kki
You can see all the Yume 2kki downloads here.
You'll see a ton of versions. You'll want to download the files that say
the most recent version of the game, as shown in the picture on the right.
These 5 files are the latest version. Click on the filenames to download them.
Patches and bugfixes are also there, they usually appear like this:
261 [132.zip] ゆめ2っき92bパッチ第2版 ※初期版の修正内容も含んでいます 0 Res 0.09MB 2010/08/19(Thu)17:54 ゆめ2っき_92bパッチ第2版.zip 編集 127 [131.zip] ゆめ2っき_92bパッチ.zip 0 Res 0.08MB 2010/08/19(Thu)15:53 ゆめ2っき_92bパッチ.zip 編集
By using Google Translator, you can see if it's a patch, too.
NOTE: As of version 0.096b, all filenames are in English therefore there is no need to translate. As you can see from the picture on the right, it is clearly stated that the file is a 'patch'.
After downloading all these files, run the .exe using pApplocale (in this case, 'ゆめ2っき_Ver0.096b.part01.exe'). It'll extract all the files to a folder.
Step 5 - Playing the game
Go to the folder where you extracted the game.
Check to see if there's a file called RPG_RT.exe. If there's not, you can use any RPG_RT.exe from any game. You can also get it from here.
Right-click RPG_RT.exe and open it using the Japanese Locale.
If you don't want to do this every time you run the game, go to the Start Menu then All Programs. In the 'Microsoft AppLocale' folder, open AppLocale. Click 'Next'. Click on 'Browse...' and find the 'RPG_RT.exe' file. Click 'Open' then 'Next'. Find 日本語 in the drop-down box (it should be the last option) and click on it. Click 'Next' and tick 'Create a shortcut to always run this application with AppLocale'. The 'Link Description' can be whatever you want it to be. Click 'Finish' and the game should start. There should also be a shortcut to the game in the 'Microsoft AppLocale' folder in the Start Menu.
Whenever you want to start the game, just click on that shortcut.
Windows Vista
Installation on Windows Vista computers is similar to installation on Windows XP models, but requires a few extra steps.
-FOLLOW EVERY INSTRUCTION FROM THE XP GUIDE UNTIL YOU GET TO pAPPLOCALE INSTALLATION-
Step 1 - Change some settings
Unlike XP, there are certain settings you need to change to get the game working. You will either have to do one of two things to get pApplocale running correctly.
1. Turn off User Account Control's security measure. This can be done by going to Start > Control Panel > User Accounts and Family Safety > User Accounts > Change User Account Control Settings. Make sure you set it to Never.
2. Run an elevated command prompt by right clicking on Command Prompt on Start Menu and then select “Run as Administrator”. Click on Continue when User Account Control dialog prompt comes out. Change directory to the folder where you put the apploc.msi Windows Installer Package (C:\Users\[Your username here]\Downloads\papploc.msi). From there pApplocale should install successfully.
From there just follow steps 4-5 from the XP installation guide
Windows 7 Starter, Home Basic and Home Premium
If you are as unfortunate as ending up using Windows 7 Starter. Home Basic or Home Premium, I'm sorry to say that this has to be the most frustrating installation process by far due to the fact that they don't have the ability to Change Languages, as well as having to go through the UAC/cmd measures taken by Windows Vista models.
Step 1 - Use Vistalizator to add Japanese languages to your computer
Vistalizator is a great software that allows you to change language features on computers that don't have the ability to change them themselves. Download Vistalizator and the Japanese language packs from here
If you're using Service Pack 1, there are a few extra steps to this installation. Right-click on Vistalizator.exe, go to Properties, then go to the Compatibility tab. Tick 'Run this program in compatibility mode for:' and choose 'Windows 7' from the drop-down box. Click OK and continue with the process.
From there you should open Vistalizator, click on "Add Languages" and then locate the directory the Japanese language pack is (the file name should look like a bunch of random letters and numbers). Then select the Japanese bar, and click "Add Language" (Installing the language pack could take up to 20 minutes).
If you're using Service Pack 1, you'll have to install using the 'Express' method instead of the 'Internal' method.
Continue with step 2 of the Windows XP installation guide while keeping in mind that to install pApplocale, do one of the following:
1. Turn off UAC, as specified by the Vista Installation
2. Run an elevated command prompt by right clicking on the Start Menu and then searcing "cmd.exe". Right click it and select “Run as Administrator”. Click on Continue when User Account Control dialog prompt comes out. Change directory to the folder where you put the apploc.msi Windows Installer Package. (C:\Users\[Your username here]\Downloads\papploc.msi). From there pApplocale should install successfully.
From there just follow steps 4-5 from the XP installation guide
Windows 7 Home Ultimate or Windows 7 Enterprise
Installing Yume 2kki on a Windows 7 Home Ultimate or Home Enterprise computer is similar to installing it on a Vista, so just use that as a reference
For all operating systems: You need to have all of the extra files from the Japanese RTP of RPG Maker 2000/2003 imported into their respective folders in your Yume 2kki folder, or else certain areas in the game (notably Space, Sky Kingdom, Wavy Up and Forest Carnival (Interior)) will crash.
