General Anime/Manga/Otaku Thread

YAY! I've finally found a way to play Japanese games that require a Japanese locale on my old computer which is Windows XP. (The issues are that I can't change my locale, or use applocale [a program by microsoft used to run programs with a certain locale instead of your default] to emulate a Japanese locale without having the Japanese language pack installed, and I don't have the CD for my operating system anymore to put it on my computer.) So now I can finally stop being restricted as to what visual novels I can read on this computer due to this issue. Also that was a problem because I only have access to one of my computers at a time, so if I was reading a visual novel that requires a Japanese locale, (which I am currently) I'd have to read it on my better computer that can use applocale, when I have to use this crappy computer I couldn't continue reading even if I really wanted to continue reading, but now I can.

Well disregard all of that happiness and joy from earlier, it didn't work and I'm now resorting to drastic measures to get this crap to work, wish me luck. (by drastic measures I mean a complete re-installation of Windows, kinda needed to happen anyway, as I have some corrupted OS files on this computer.)
