older eroge not working at all

Recommended Posts

So, recently I've gotten my hands on two relatively obscure, older eroge Yatohime Zankikou (2005) and Kuro no Toshokan (2003). Thing is, both aren't working (Windows 10). What makes the matter even worse is that there's no error message or anything popping up, games just won't respond at all. I'm honestly at loss here, since I've installed a bunch of similarly old eroge and those are working just fine. And yes, I did set my System Locale to Japanese, I did install Locale Emulator, I did try compatibility mode, I did disable my antivirus and I did try AlphaRom... Are there other possibilities? Any suggestion as to how I could sort this problem out are much appreciated!

When you say not responding, do you mean the "stopped responding" crash or just stuck in the same screen?

I had a similar problem with older Nitroplus games and here's some things I did to fix then:

1) installing some windows packs that contains direct x 8 dlls

2) installing Visual Studio C++ around 2013 package for 32 or/and 64 bits

3) change the priority of the running process in the task manager 

4) go back to a previous windows build, I never managed to fix Togainu no Chi (2005) any other way

Yatohime Zankikou seems to have old version of alpharom that needs manual cracking and probably install modification and I have no idea how to do it for this title. However it runs on Windows 7 so if you can get virtual machine do that.

Kuro no Toshokan has newer version that adds Windows 7 support on sale on Dlsite and DMM so that might run on Windows 10 too.

When I click on the game's .exe, nothing happens. No error message, no getting stuck in the same screen. Just plain nothing. With Kuro no Toshokan, there's not even anything showing up in the Windows Event Viewer, which is just weird.

Anyways, many thanks for the suggestions so far, I'll try them out as soon as possible!
