[French Translation] Chaos;Head - Issue with accents encoding

[Zapiboss]

VNDB : Chaos;Head (not the Noah version)

Program used : nipa 

Hello,

I have some issue with displaying accents (again) on the Chaos;Head game.

when i extract, modify the first script, for example "ch00_001_インターミッション０１.nss" and put some french accents like "é", "è" and "ç" in it, encode it into UTF-8 (or UTF-16, tried both) and compile it again. Then, when i start the game, it'll bring me to the menu, but when i click on "start", it'll just display the content of the next file, the chapter 1, instead of the chapter 0, so i guess it skipped it because it can't read the file with the unicode encoding.

When i extract the same translated script, it still has the french accents in it.

Is it the (old) game engine that can't display french accents ? Or the issue lies somewhere else ?

I don't think that converting all the files inside nss.npa into utf-8 will work but i'll try it later if no solution is provided.

Link of the npa file if someone wants to try it :

All the scripts inside are encoded in SHIFT-JIS. (Original file from english version)

 

Thank you in advance.

I think you must change the font if you want that text shows in the text box

Unfortunately, didn't found the font when i extracted the game files.

Or even, where i can change it.

The system.npa just has a system.ini file but nothing related to font inside of it. Same for cg.npa and boot.nss files.

Try to find it into the .exe with a hex editor
