Warning, this tutorial is deprecated. AppLocale is no longer downloadable on the Microsoft site. Please refer to Locale Emulation thread.[ Introduction ]It seems due to increasing newcomers in the world of Danmakufu, we seem to have the same questions being asked over and over: "Help I cannot run Dnh". So it is time for a tutorial again to kind of prevent this from happening "too much". The AppLocale link is inside the FAQ thread, but I'll be nice to add it here one more time:
http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/details.aspx?FamilyID=16712f0b-a935-4140-9163-1514c89f6ddd&displaylang=enAdditionally, there is also a video tutorial
right here. Watch the first half of it for AppLocale configuring.
[ Step 1 - Install AppLocale (concentrate your mind) ]XP users can simply run the msi installer. Windows 7 users can run the regular install method as well ( confirmed by: 'AweStriker Nova' ). Vista users will quickly bump into an error saying: "An error occurred, please contact bla bla bla". Go to
THIS link and read how to work around the problem. It is extremely easy, just follow the steps.
Generally the problem is the 'UAC' control in Vista. Turning this off and running the msi as administrator fixes the problem.
[ Step 2 -WinXP only. Checking language packs ( mutter the spell tenderly ) ]Windows XP users might need to install additional language packs to follow this guide properly. Go to Start > Configuration screen > Region and Language. Also make sure you have your XP CD ready, because the system will ask for it when installing.

[ Step 3 - Applocale magic (aim at someone you don't like) ]Run apploc.exe and select "Launch an application" and press the browse button.

- Browse for the th_dnh.exe where you unpacked danmakufu.
- Hit "open" and press next. In the next screen drop down the menu and select the most bottom (Japanese)
日本語 If you're an XP user, and don't see the Japanese language you probably made a mistake in step 2.
- Hit "next" again and choose to create a shortcut for your configuration. Makes it easier to access it for the next time. The shortcut is made in the start menu, programs, applocale location.
