I will answer my own topic after more than a whole year, hello me from the past this is you from the future  sadly right now you won't be able to read it but fear not!!!! you will be able some day and it's not even that good  but you will be able to read better ones! So keep it up 

Hey everyone! I just recently found out, that Suzumiya Haruhi no Gyakuten (The Turnabout of Haruhi Suzumiya) is a thing. According to TLWiki, only the first chapter has been translated. The scripts are in the Wiki (archived at archive.org). I'd love to play that first chapter though. So far I've managed to extract all resources (using CRASS/Crage) from the .dat file, but can't find a way to modify or repack the resources into a usable .dat file for the engine. I suspect that the game is using the Lambda visual novel engine.
Do you know a suitable repacker for said VN/engine?

One of us, one of us!

what's the big deal?is a freaking game nothing more nothing else, if you dont enjoy to see someone fucking a head inside the stomach of another girl then dont watch/read it(by the way the head is alive xD), I read this novel and didnt bother me at all now if I come across to something like this in real life I will call the police, and probably seek a psychiatrist for the PTSD of watching something like that, but then again I understand the difference between REALITY and FICTION.
You are not hurting anyone by reading things like this so why should anyone tell you that is wrong? if you are in a vn forum trying to appeal morality then this is the wrong place for that for sure, vns are based on taboo themes or what society in general consider wrong, one of the first novels if not the first one was based on this novel (https://vndb.org/v9545) for god's sake..

holy crap, of course fucking someone, whilst chopping his/her limbs off, is illegal, BUT this is considered fucking fiction & as long as i know its up to everyone himself if he gets off of pink romantic intercourse, or piss & shit, or titty-lacking lolis, or raping donkeys, or getting your waifu banged by a group of homeless ones, or in this case even cute chicks beeing forced to give autofelatio to their own innards. seriously you dont have to read stuff like that, neither try understanding its related fetish, but dont just demonise people doing so. please.

edit. in some countries such content may be forbidden, but so is often its (seemingly) harmless pendant.

Are you proposing masturbation should be illegal now?  
No really, the human mind is so fickle and our brain works in so many ways, that there's billion of subjects and objects that people masturbate to. And by the way you are responding, you seem to be someone who is still very young and hasn't explored his/her fetishes yet. As you grow older, you will be able to understand it more. You will be like, why the fuck is [insert ABSOLUTELY ANYTHING here] making me wet/giving me an erection?

You should not touch anything from NekoHen, not even the interface patches! This guy has no clue what he's doing, neither in Japanese nor in English. Even something as simple as an interface translation he completely screws up.
If you want to play an Eushully game without knowing enough Japanese to read everything without tools, the only good solution is to use ITH with a good H-Code which captures everything and then linking the important threads together.
Except for Arterial and Madou Koukaku. These two have great interface patches you can safely use. But don't use NekoHen, never ever.
I was kinda the same. I absolutely hated the storyline of making everyone your bitch (by raping, but that's perfectly fine because you are such an overpowered alpha male!), but the card battle system was great.
I didn't think the battle system was very grindy or easy to exploit though. I had a lot of fun making different elemental decks, because every element uses a slightly different strategic approach and building a good deck around this was pretty challenging and interesting. There were always some harder enemies to fight against to test your skills. Good balancing.
They reused the same system in Tou no Shita no Exercitus but completely broke the game mechanics by introducing game breaking overpowered cards thus ruining the whole game. It's a shame, because it had the potential to be a light hearted version of Verethragna.
I really can't stand Astronaut Sirius's approach to dark nukige. OP protagonist, a harem of retarded bitches, boring villains, uninteresting linear story. Dungeon of Regalias is exactly the same ... and I played it nonetheless because I'm a sucker for good gameplay and Astronaut Sirius delivers in this regard. ~.~

I'm actually a fan of revenge stories, one reason I like Korean cinema so much, and that is one of my main issues of Berseria; the reason for the vengeance doesn't make any sense. Especially because in the prologue
So essentially the reason for the vengeance is that the protagonist doesn't want to accept that somebody actually did exactly the one thing she believes in and fights for. Yeah, what? It doesn't make any sense. And how can you root for a character when the reasoning for her actions is so nonsensical?
This is especially infuriating because the story relies so much on principles and ideologies and instead of discussing them they are simply justified by a strong sense of passion you supposedly should have for them since your feelings can't be wrong, can they? But even if you try and not apply logic to it, the vengeance also falls flat on an emotional level.
Imagine somebody kills someone close to you and you want to get revenge. Of course, that is vigilante justice, but emotionally I'm on your side despite that. But then you carry out your revenge by killing innocent people ... wait, why are you doing that? It doesn't make any sense and I'm not emotionally attached to your cause anymore. And that is exactly what Berseria's revenge story consists of and why it doesn't work.
There is a trope in Japanese entertainment which got more popular in recent years: sacrificing humanity in order to save those close to you. It's mainly an edgy reaction to Japanese culture which deems the worth of the group higher than the worth of an individual. The trope isn't inherently bad and it can be used to tell great emotional stories. But recently, like with many initially good tropes, the stories surrounding this concept get dumber and dumber. The trope only works if the reader can emphasize with the characters and at least emotionally understand the reasoning for their actions, but nowadays it's used more in a.reactionary manner; the many are sacrificed not because there is an emotional reason, but mainly because the system isn't liked (for no other reason than being contrarian on principle) and the reader just wants to see the world burn.
I'm sorry, I already wrote too much. But after spending 150 hours with Berseria and really liking Tales of Zestiria and how it seriously discussed important themes and philosophies (I think Baba's vision was realized in this one the most), I'm really disappointed by how shallow Berseria is, how it's a disgrace for the vengeance-genre and how it looks down on its player by not even trying to make any sense at all, not even on an emotional level. That is, if you are not an edgy teenager who wants to see how badass characters (they are pretty emo) go against a supposedly evil system (it's not evil). I do not mean that as an insult*, we all were at least a little bit emo at some point in our life. But just because we were kinda stupid in this phase of our life doesn't mean that the entertainment that caters to this phase should be as stupid as we were. In fact, it should be intelligent, educate us and show us more than we wanted to see. That is what young adult fiction should be about and that was Baba's vision. And Tales of Berseria betrayed it. Hard.
*highlighted because I'm sure this rant appears very pretentious, but it's not meant to be that and instead really more a cry of a JRPG nerd who takes his hobby way too serious and wants to discuss it on the Internet

I assumed you would like it. Most people do. But just because you like something doesn't mean it's actually good. And your initial question was whether it's good or not.
It's ironic that Vesperia and now Berseria are considered the "best" Tales of games when they are conceptually pretty "anti-Tales of". They go against Baba's vision who wanted to tell meaningful stories discussing important topics and philosophies and instead consist of shallow and morally disgusting power fantasies which is probably exactly what edgy teenager or chuunibyous want to indulge in, and that is why these games are so popular.
But are they actually good? Do gameplay and story advance this long-standing franchise adequately while being true to the series' traditions? For Berseria, the answer must clearly be no. And that is probably also the reason why you or many other people will have a blast playing the game.

I'm over 18 and I think that this is perfectly acceptable behavior even in real life.
If you guys think otherwise you're probably feminists or something stupid like that. What's wrong with you, screaming "rape, rape, rape" over and over again? It's common knowledge that women like to be harshly taken by the man they like. Asking for "consent" is one of the dumbest things social justice warriors invented in the last few years (aside from the other stupid things). As if this is not a total mood breaker... when you have something interesting going on and suddenly you're like "oh, I hope this is ok for you. please say if I'm not gentle enough. I don't want to really hurt you." That's how you ruin the mood, lol.
You think you are some white knights, pointing out harmless situations which aren't 100% political correct, and you're thinking you're doing women a favor with this. Ridiculous. Not only are you denying grown-up people the right to decide for themselves how to engage with each other (for example, being fine with it when somebody takes your "no" as a "yes" because you actually like this), you're also generalizing hot kink with serious, criminal rape. That's disgusting.

Confession: Today, I broke up with my waifu. Not that something was wrong, it's just time to move on. Being single is still the best, yo!

Meetup works best in big cities like Tokyo, Osaka and Nagoya. There are many Meetup events, but in my experience it is the more low key ones that tend to be most fun and interesting (for unrelated reasons I was personal friends with a host for a smaller Meetup event and those were the most fun for me). Most of the bigger, more well known or established Meetup events are honestly just an excuse for foreigners interested in hooking up with Japanese, and Japanese interested in hooking up with foreigners to meet. In fact, I would say a good 70% of Meetup events at their very core are really just an excuse to try to meet someone for a sexual or romantic relationship. Which depending on your perspective could be great or not. 
Basically Meetup in Japan is like the irl version of the app HelloTalk. There is a pretense of "language exchange", but its really used for flirting. So if you want to meet a cute Japanese girl or guy, definitely try Meetup and HelloTalk. If you want to meet people who could become actual friends, then I would recommend attending Meetup events that do events that are most specific and hobby focused, and not just "language exchange".  
Its more that women on Tinder will say that as a precaution in case if they aren't actually attracted to the guy they meet up with on the first date. This way she can reject him more gently/indirectly by saying "No, I'm just looking for friends". Which if you think about Japanese culture, it makes a lot of sense why they would prefer to do that. But if she is attracted, well lets just say she won't have any problem accepting advances for something more sensual/romantic. 
 

Seems like it's common nowadays to combine parts of the Japanese title with an English subtitle so both fans and newcomers can easily identify it.  One of the most important aspects of a title is its SEO; if the title uses a common phrase, it becomes hard to find related content in search engines.  Throwing in some simple Japanese or abbreviation of Japanese helps to make it more unique and memorable.

Galaxy Angel(the vn)
I've pretty much been a one man band promoter of it since at least 2009(Before that I was a promoter of the anime)
Campus Notes: Forget Me Not
I'm pretty sure I'm the only one here who has actually read it
Despite the fact that it's really dope has some great dialogue and is set in a fucking college
Magical Eyes -Red is for anguish-
It's a pretty short vn and I thought it was very good and hopefully the sequel comes out at some point cuz I liked the characters
 

I'm sorry to say, but no such thing exists...
How about  https://vndb.org/v21552 , although it seems it will be localized soon.

create new one because i post wrong
use eng patch and this game is ver1.1
what should i do this game is crash

This is partly an issue of genre and partly an issue of medium.  The "harem" genre features a protagonist surrounded by girls competing for his attention/affection; this competition and the antics that result are often a thematic focus.  Resolving that competition essentially entails a genre shift, which risks losing your audience.  Visual novels resolve this issue by splitting games into a common route and several heroine routes (and sometimes a "harem" route).  Visual novels are relatively cheap to produce compared to the time spent consuming them and are sold up-front as a complete product, so forking the narrative into multiple parts, some of which may not be consumed by each user, is commercially viable.  Anime are more expensive to produce and typically represent linear, serialized experiences that have to fill broadcast time slots and sustain viewership over time.  If you air something that doesn't interest a viewer, you risk losing him permanently; the viewer can't just skip to the alternate "route" for the day.  As a result, harem anime are often compelled to appeal to the lowest common denominator.

I echo this statement.

Please don't say culture. That makes it sound like they are from a foreign land. It's just a country like any other.

Got it working actually

What's your OS? Also, do you have the correct patch?
https://www.dropbox.com/s/ctwxfx1497bxmck/Kikokugai - Reichin Rinrinshan - English Patch.rar?dl=0
The readme included reads as follows:
Japan as system locale and language for non-unicode programs are a given. You might want to reinstall the game if you weren't in JP locale when you installed it. And like Seraphim said, you'll most certainly want to install K-Lite Codec Pack, update .NET Framework, DirectX, etc.

Have you tried all the compatibility options or just one that was suggested? Forcing 640 x 480 resolution or disabling fullscreen optimization might help, if you haven't already tried those.
Make sure all your drivers, especially your graphics driver, is up to date, since some strange problems can occur if they're not. There could be some issue with the newest drivers too, though. If you're already running the latest version, you could try reverting to an older one and see if the problem persists.
You could also try disconnecting any secondary display you might be using. I've noticed that some VN's have trouble with a multiple monitor setup even if you only have a single one set as active in Windows, so you have to physically disconnect the other ones to bypass this issue.
Antivirus and other security software also have a tendency to clash with certain applications, so you could try turning those off.

Try setting your system locale to Japanese too, if you haven't already. Some VNs refuse to boot with any other setting. The Steam version of Hoshizora no Memoria wouldn't boot for me unless I used Japanese locale, despite the entire game being in English.

I'm too lazy to do things, but since I looked at the first tl'd line of the umiko something file out of boredom:
 
飛行機に乗って約２時間半 has 乗る in continuative form, so we expect 約２時間半 to be something that happens after it. The natural interpretation is that the plain trip took 2 hours 30 minutes, not that it's 2:30. The 約 also means that it's about 2:30, not precisely.
私は初めて来る沖縄にワクワクしながら\n　空港へと降り立ちました
It's possible that this is canon, but this sentence doesn't say anything about her being excited to fly for the first time; it only talks about being excited to be visiting Okinawa for the first time. The last part seems to be elided which is fine, but if you find it more convenient to keep it in then you can.
 
Five times hotter? That sounds suspicious. You know, we had a freelance J-SE translator do a speech once in high school. She talked about how you should always be suspicious when translating; look shit you might be wrong about up or you'll be sorry. Her specific example was a toy poodle, which some poor schmuck had translated as if it were actually a toy rather than diminutive in size. In this case, you got 5 times higher for 5 degrees higher: https://ejje.weblio.jp/content/degrees+higher
The "even though its still the same Japan" part is also a rather unsmooth translationism. Something like idk "I guess the south of Japan is pretty different, huh" or whatever might do. Or maybe even "We're still in Japan, but everything's so different!". Meh, have fun

...and I'm too lazy to look at more of this because I'll probably spot more errors and feel compelled to correct them, rip

The remake features high quality artwork in higher resolution, lots of effects and animations, and full voice-acting. The H-scenes are intact, the CGs were only slightly censored. It's also the same translation, made by THE Makoto, with very slight changes. In conclusion, you should play the remake (15+ version).
