Ys I & II Complete / RE: Ys 1&2 Complete Installation
« on: Feb. 09, 2006, 01:06:14 AM »
If you're on Win9X/ME, you will need to install manually like mjmmx says since there's no support for switching to Japanese mode. Here's how:
Quote
Make a folder tree named \FALCOM\YS12_CMP\YS1_WIN somewhere on your hard
drive - C:\FALCOM\YS12_CMP\YS1_WIN for example. Next, go to your Ys COMPLETE
CD or DVD and copy everything to your new local folder from YS1_WIN (for the
LE version) or YS1_CMP (if you've got the XP or PE version), but MINUS the
'save' subfolder! The trick is to exclude that 'save' subfolder because it
contains a text file whose name is encoded with Japanese S-JIS characters.
Any attempt at copying this file by the Setup program or even manually by
using Explorer will result in failure. So, that explains why you can't
install it normally (unless you're booted in Japanese mode, something you
can't do in Windows® 98/ME). Anyway, now on your hard drive you should have
a file/folder tree looking like this:
C:\FALCOM\YS12_CMP\YS1_WIN\*.*
C:\FALCOM\YS12_CMP\YS1_WIN\YS1_WIN.EXE
C:\FALCOM\YS12_CMP\YS1_WIN\DATA\*.*
C:\FALCOM\YS12_CMP\YS1_WIN\MIDI\*.*
C:\FALCOM\YS12_CMP\YS1_WIN\WAVE\*.*
C:\FALCOM\YS12_CMP\YS1_WIN\WAVE\WAVE_44\*.*
Etc. Got it? Good. About the 'wave' folder: If you have the 2
CD Limited Edition set, you'll also have to get the 2nd CD and
continue copying from that. Otherwise, in order to have wave
playback in the game, you'll always have to have the 2nd (Game)
CD inserted or mounted. You're basically doing a FULL install
by copying all the waves to disk. By doing this, you can also
take advantage of the alternate soundtrack that's recently been
released by Psycho DeuceBag, FYI. Anyhow, that should do it. Just run
my patcher after that and you're all set, ya heathen...
