Yume 2kki:Installation Instructions: Difference between revisions

Revision as of 03:10, 13 January 2015

Introduction

Even though Yume 2kki can be an amazing gaming experience, installing it can be tricky. This guide should be enough for most people to get the game working smoothly.

If you are having problems installing the game, feel free to leave a comment here or on the Troubleshooting page.

Preparation

On Windows XP, some additional setup is required for East-Asian languages.

Go to Control Panel.
Go to Regional and Language Options.
Click the "Install files for East-Asian Languages" checkbox.
Press OK. Windows will install East-Asian language support.

Installing AppLocale and the Japanese RPG Maker 2000 RTP (Automatic)

You can download a script here (located near the bottom of the page) which will automatically download and install AppLocale and both the English and Japanese RPG Maker 2000 and 2003 runtime packages. Simply download the file, extract the "Install RTPs.bat" script, and run it (Vista and later: right-click and select Run As Administrator).

Installing AppLocale and the Japanese RPG Maker 2000 RTP (Manual)

Download AppLocale from Microsoft's website here.

On Windows XP, open the "apploc.msi" file you downloaded earlier and follow the installation instructions.

On Windows Vista and later, the process is a bit more complicated.

Open the start menu, type "cmd" in the search box, then right click "cmd.exe" and select “Run as Administrator”.
Type the following command and press enter:

msiexec /i "C:\Users\...\Downloads\apploc.msi"

Make sure to replace the "C:\Users..." path with the full filename of apploc.msi. Also, the quotes are important!

AppLocale will be used to install the RTP and later to run Yume 2kki. To install the RTP using AppLocale:

Download the RTP here (Mirror)
If you downloaded a ZIP file, extract the contents. Otherwise, if you downloaded an EXE file, run it and allow it to extract. In the extracted files will be a file called RPG2000RTP.exe.
Open AppLocale, and when prompted, select RPG2000RTP.exe as the executable file to run.
Select Japanese (日本語) as the language, which is the very last option in the language dropdown menu.
Run the installer. The "next" button should be highlighted by default.

If you have attempted to install the RTP before and failed, or have difficulties installing the RTP, make sure other versions of the RTP have been uninstalled through Add or Remove Programs (Vista and later: Programs and Features) in the Control Panel and try again. If you still have issues installing, the Automatic installation above is recommended.

Installing Yume 2kki

Yume 2kki download links can be found here on the wiki. The official downloads will typically run with less issues than the mirrors; try downloading from the official source before trying the mirrors.

If downloading from the official links (on GetUploader), make sure to download all of the files in the series (e.g. ゆめ２っきver0.102b.part01.exe, ゆめ２っきver0.102b.part02.rar, etc). GetUploader only allows one download at a time, so be aware of this. If you cannot identify the download button, it has the text「ダウンロード」written on it.

If you want to apply any patches to the game, download those files too. Make sure the version numbers match before applying a patch!

Now, to extract the game, you will need to run the self-extracting EXE file with AppLocale:

Start AppLocale
When prompted, choose the "...part01.exe" file as the file to run.
Select Japanese (日本語; the very last option) in the language menu that follows.
Start the self-extractor. Keep in mind that all of the downloaded parts must be kept in the same folder for this step to work.

You will now have a new folder (typically named similarly to「ゆめ２っきver0.101」) in the same location as the archive EXE. Inside is another folder (typically「ゆめ2っき」or "data") which contains the actual game data. To apply patches, extract and copy the patch data into this folder and overwrite existing files. You can now place this game folder wherever you'd like.

The last step is to create a shortcut to play the game via AppLocale. The process is similar to before:

Start AppLocale
When prompted, choose "RPG_RT.exe" file as the file to run. If you don't want to play the game in fullscreen, inpuut "x x Window" (without quotes) for the program arguments.
Select Japanese (日本語; the very last option) in the language menu that follows.
Check "Create a shortcut to always run this application with AppLocale" and rename it to whatever you wish.
Start the game!

The shortcut that is created from the previous steps will be found under Programs->Microsoft AppLocale and can be safely moved to another location.

+== Installing Yume 2kki ==
+''Yume 2kki'' download links can be found [[Downloads|here]] on the wiki. The official downloads will typically run with less issues than the mirrors; try downloading from the official source before trying the mirrors.
-If using '''Windows 7 Starter''', '''Home Basic''' or '''Home Premium''', you will have to use Vistalizator to add Japanese languages to your computer, due to the fact these operating systems don't have the ability to change languages. [[Installation Instructions#Windows 7 Starter, Home Basic and Home Premium|More information on how to do this can be found below]]
+If downloading from the official links (on GetUploader), make sure to download ''all'' of the files in the series (e.g. ゆめ２っきver0.102b.part01.exe, ゆめ２っきver0.102b.part02.rar, etc).

+=== pAppLoc ===
+"pAppLoc" is a modified version of AppLocale which disables the nag screen that appears when starting AppLocale shortcuts. There also exists a registry modification which adds an option in the right-click menu to start executable files in Japanese using AppLocale.
-If using vista, windows 7 or later, applocale has to be run as an administrator to install. To do this you have to use windows command prompt to install it.
+You can find a guide on how to install and use pAppLoc [http://www.hongfire.com/forum/showthread.php/82164-Right-Click-Context-Menu-for-Applocalehere here].
-Open the start menu and search for "cmd", then right click it and select “Run as Administrator”.
+=== Uboachan Installation Thread[[Category:Guides]] ===
+If you're still having trouble getting the installation working, you might find some information in this [http://archive.uboachan.net/tkki/res/534.xhtml Uboachan thread].
-Once command prompt opens, type in the entire path to the .msi inside a pair of quotation marks (") and press enter.
-(example: "C:\Users\-Yourname-\Downloads\apploc.msi" )
-From there, Applocale should run and install successfully.
-You may also choose to use "pApplocale", a convenient edit of the original program that lets you launch programs in applocale from the right-click menu. information on this version can be found [[Installation Instructions#pApplocale|below]].
-==='''Download and install the Japanese RPG Maker 2000 RTP'''===
-You can download the Japanese RPGmaker 2000 RTP [http://tkool.jp/support/download/rpg2000/rtp here] - [https://s3-ap-northeast-1.amazonaws.com/rpg-tkool.24.01.13/files/2000rtp.zip Direct link] - [http://download.tkool-online.com/rtp/2000rtp.exe Mirror]
-When it finishes downloading, run it and it will extract to its own folder. This is NOT the installation.
-After extracting, open applocale and select RPG2000RTP.exe from the newly made folder, and run it in Japanese (日本語, last in the dropdown menu).
-Install it normally. If you did everything right, you'll see no errors.
-If you are getting errors on vista or win7, you can right click the RTP, go to properties, and set it to run in compatibility mode for windows xp, with "run as administrator" ticked, from the ''Compatibility'' tab.
-This ''should'' fix any possible problems.
-==='''Download the most recent version of Yume 2kki'''===
-Since the collapse of Loda.jp, yume 2kki is being uploaded [http://ux.getuploader.com/yume2kki06/search?q=%E3%82%86%E3%82%81%EF%BC%92%E3%81%A3%E3%81%8Dver0.101h%20%E5%88%86%E5%89%B2%E3%83%90%E3%83%BC%E3%82%B8%E3%83%A7%E3%83%B3 here] - [https://www.mediafire.com/?fqqy8y37byex555 Mediafire Mirror]
-Yume 2kki is split into a number of parts for each version [usually 2, sometimes more]. All download filenames are in english.
-You'll want to download '''all''' the parts of the latest version (with 0.100i in their name).
-Click on their filenames and then the Japanese download 「ダウンロード」 button below an ad to download them. (You may have to download the parts 1 at a time)
-There are also small patches and bugfixes available occasionally, but are optional and are not required to play the game.
-After downloading each part, run the .exe (part 1) through Applocale in Japanese (日本語, last in the dropdown menu). It will extract all the files to a folder.
-This is your yume 2kki game folder, and you can move it wherever you want.
-==='''Set up the game and Play :D'''===
-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 [http://www.4shared.com/file/_2bnpFMU/RPG_RT.html here].
-Open applocale and select your RPG_RT.exe and and run it in Japanese (日本語, last in the dropdown menu), making sure to tick ''"Create a shortcut to always run this application with AppLocale"'' before you click finish.
-This will create a shortcut to the game in the ''all programs'' section of the start menu, inside the ''microsoft applocale'' folder.
-This shortcut will automatically run the game in japanese, so you don't have to select it in applocale every time you want to play.
-copy this to wherever you would like it and rename it "Yume 2kki".
-=='''Troubleshooting for specific OS'''==
-*'''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.'''
-*For each new OS you ''may'' have to disable UAC to install things, this seemingly varies on a case-by-case basis.
-*you can turn off User Account Control's security measure if necessary by going to [Start > Control Panel > User Accounts and Family Safety > User Accounts > Change User Account Control Settings], and setting it to "never".
-===Windows Vista===
-Installation on Windows Vista computers is similar to installation on Windows XP models, but requires a few extra steps.
-====-Installing applocale on vista-====
-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 Applocale running correctly.
-Applocale has to be run as an administrator to install. To do this you have to use windows command prompt to install it.
-Open the start menu and search for "cmd", then right click it and select “Run as Administrator”.
-Once command prompt opens, type in the entire path to the .msi inside a pair of quotation marks (") and press enter.
-(example: "C:\Users\-Yourname-\Downloads\apploc.msi" )
-''From there just follow steps 3-5 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 administrator measures taken by Windows Vista models.
-====-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 [http://www.froggie.sk/ 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.
-====-Installing applocale on Win7 basic-====
-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 Applocale running correctly.
-Applocale has to be run as an administrator to install. To do this you have to use windows command prompt to install it.
-Open the start menu and search for "cmd", then right click it and select “Run as Administrator”.
-Once command prompt opens, type in the entire path to the .msi inside a pair of quotation marks (") and press enter.
-(example: "C:\Users\-Yourname-\Downloads\apploc.msi" )
-''From there just follow steps 3-5 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 Vista, so use that as a reference.
-==pApplocale==
-"pApplocale" is a modified version of applocale that skips the annoying step-by-step thing everytime you want to start a program, for the sake of convenience.
-You can download pApplocale [http://ntu.csie.org/~piaip/papploc.msi here].
-The contextmenu.reg is a registry file that adds the option to Run with pApplocale to the right-click menu on Windows.
-The ''Context Menu'' attachment can be found [http://www.hongfire.com/forum/attachment.php?attachmentid=86298&d=1208143928 here].
-Install pApplocale to its default location.
-Extract Context Menu.zip and double click Install.reg.
-To uninstall, double click on Uninstall.reg
