Silvz Posted July 10, 2015 Share Posted July 10, 2015 I've recently bough a new notebook, and apparently I can't install windows 7. I recall seeing a list of VN's that work\don't work on Windows 8, but I can't seem to find it. Does anyone have a list like this, or know where the thread is? And would you recommend anything to play VNs better in windows 8? No "change your OS", please. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Eclipsed Posted July 10, 2015 Share Posted July 10, 2015 Are u having trouble playing VNs on Win 8 or u just preemptively asking? Ill look for the thread later but outside of a few quirks like Muv Luv or Ever 17 everything should run fine** **if not, get a new OS Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Funyarinpa Posted July 10, 2015 Share Posted July 10, 2015 Ever17 has a fix Muv-Luv is just the game trying to preserve your love of VNs and sanity by not letting you play it properly Besides those two, I don't know any other cases, however I've gotten most VNs I've tried to work and for the ones that didn't work I don't know if it was because of W8.1. The compatibility issues in general are WAY overplayed and I actually do not mind Metro UI all that much. If worse comes to worst, you can install an XP Virtual Machine on your computer and that should get rid of compatibility issues you might have with older VNs. Besides that, there is not much you need to do anyway. ^^ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Yuuko Posted July 10, 2015 Share Posted July 10, 2015 Original Magus Tale doesn't work on W8 (it didn't work on W7 either ) but it's not even translated so does it matter. It also has newer version which fixes this : D Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Silvz Posted July 10, 2015 Author Share Posted July 10, 2015 I still didn't have any problems with it, but since some complained over time about Windows 8, I figured that it would be better to know beforehand about possible issues Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Eclipsed Posted July 10, 2015 Share Posted July 10, 2015 Ye u should be fine. Here's another thread with other testimonies. I personally have about 20 ~ 25 VNs on my Win 8.1 lappy and they all ran fine no errors Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Deep Blue Posted July 10, 2015 Share Posted July 10, 2015 I couldn't run a bunch of old vn, most of them untranslated ones I made a guide for this problem if you have the time and patience it works perfectly with any vn. http://forums.fuwanovel.net/topic/9234-how-to-run-vns-on-win-8/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Snowtsuku Posted July 11, 2015 Share Posted July 11, 2015 Most of them run fine. If it comes to worst you can always use a virtual machine. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
