savi0r Posted March 18, 2015 Share Posted March 18, 2015 Hi guys, I am new to this community. I downloaded StarTRain (many years ago actually, and I still own it) while back when I had Windows Vista. The game worked fine in Vista, but it does not even response on Windows 8. No error message or any thing. I played a few VN previously so I tried everything that I knew: applocale, NTLEA, changing to Japanese Locale. My other VN runs without problem. (Daitoshokan no Hitsujikai series, DRACU-RIOT!, Akatsuki no Goei, etc.) Is there a way to run StarTRain on Windows 8? Any input will be greatly appreciated. Thanks!

Ryechu Posted March 18, 2015 Share Posted March 18, 2015 ............................ http://detail.chiebukuro.yahoo.co.jp/qa/question_detail/q14106308209 The TL;DR version is: Try running everything in Compatibility Mode using Windows XP SP2. If that doesn't work, then you're out of luck. Or make a partition and install Windows XP on it. Google how to do that. savi0r 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Deep Blue Posted March 18, 2015 Share Posted March 18, 2015 Is running fine on win 7 but like with many others vn is not working on 8.. the compatibility mode is not there on win 8 anymore(there is but it doesnt do anything really), i will try with virtual machine and tell you if it works.

savi0r Posted March 21, 2015 Author Share Posted March 21, 2015 Thank you very much for all your help guys! Sadly I don't think I can "buy" Windows XP. Guess I will have to pass StarTRain... I am, though, enjoying its great musics that came with. Again, I thank all of you guys. I really appreciate it and I am so grateful that I found such a friendly and helpful community. I was at a Korean forum before I came here and I got couple of "idk's" for answers. Not that they were unfriendly or anything but to see so much help and input to go out of your way to research and stuff is really touching(?). Guess I'll have to move on to next vn on my list... CloverDays, LittleBusters, or Grisaia series Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Deep Blue Posted March 21, 2015 Share Posted March 21, 2015 We are like a big family here on fuwa, that's why Yeah doing all that just to play a vn is a pain but at least there is a way Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
