Then try to understand... This is not about RPGmaker, and this is not about 2024. This is about Copyright. This game is fanmade but it's NOT under a free and open source license, which means that you are not allowed to patch your translation, locale settings, and pack it, and publish your own executable file on your own website. People who are not Japanese are extremely restricted to contribute to this game, because you have to find a Japanese maintainer as your "proxy". This means that your easy-to-install package will never be included in the main package, never ever. If you speak Japanese, and your computer is in Japanese locale settings, all you need to do is to download official package and run it, it's not complicated at all.
You're a fricken lifesaver... I finished 2kki like YEARS ago and now I wanted to play the new version and was so confused by the 2kki Fandom wiki... thank you, king
For anybody else looking for the ASCII folder, I found mine by clicking on "This PC" to the left, opening "Local Disk" with a smiley face (C:), then "Program Files (x86)" should be listed (not just "Program Files") and from there it should be the first folder listed inside. Hope this helps!
I created the Lenguaje folder but it never appears on the menu, I followed this tutorial and the installation page on the wiki but it doesn't work. Edit: Ok, I'm dumb, the folder was named "Languaje" instead of "Lenguage". My first languaGe is spanish and that last G is a J, thanks for the tutoral!
At 6:25 i see you have two differently-named instances of the yume 2kki .zip, do i need them too to patch it or do i just open the same zip folder twice and copy the files of one to the other? Also do i only need to do this if a version needs to be patched? Props for still answering these comments btw
the first one is the patch, the second one is the base game. so you'd extract the base game, then set it up, then grab the files from the patch and place them in to the corresponding folder (each window should have a "2" folder and some files like changelog, start.exe and other .txt files), replacing all/overwriting when prompted. And yes, this is only for when you need to apply patches, patches tend to bring new content so it's worth learning how to patch the game. it's really just a matter of dragging and dropping. There can be times when the current version is just the letter version, and no patches are available yet.
Every time I try to install RTP it says "The system cannot find the path specified" and then shows a bunch of question marks Does anybody know how to fix this? I cannot figure it out Edit: Figured it out. For some reason the exe has to be on the computers desktop to work, I have no idea why but at least I figured it out. (Also I accidently misclicked and set my computer to somewhere that wasnt Japan lol)
Pretty much, I also played .flow with this setup. All I did was download the latest version (.194 I believe), placed those files in a folder where my EasyRPG is, and then did the step for language. It worked without any issues
i cant run the RTP exe file, neither the game exe file, it shows an error in japanese, even after i changed my system locale to Japanese, is there something i did wrong?
I've not tried it, but I would think that if you have the game up and running on your PC working 100%, then taking all of the files and placing them on your phone (except you'd use the Android version of EasyRPG instead) should work...?
Hi! I was wondering what parts of this process requires your system locale to be in japanese. For example, do i need to set it to japanese every time I want to play Yume 2kki, etc. Would love an explanation for this!
I just keep it on japanese. I'm not exactly sure if you'd need to ever change it to anything else, but if you can, keep it on. doesn't really affect anything.
Launching Easy RPG doesn't work that way for me. I have to put the player in the game files, rather than putting the game files in the Easy RPG folder.
@@vintage8704 not sure why, maybe try to follow along more closely to see where the files installed? And the game shouldn't be on steam, only Yume Nikki is on steam which is a different game.
another thing i downloaded the 0.122 ver and i noticed i don’t have the initial purple icon plus the .exe in “start” and everything else, but the game works is it a problem?
@@volvulusx5043 thanks for the replyyy but in the end I did everything again for safety. one last thing now when I click "Player" and run Easy RPG, in the "Games" section in addition to the yno translations and the game version the "RTP" folder has been added, is this a problem?
@@cincinnatixdxd5055 I'm not really certain what's happening, just worked for me. Watch the video again to make sure you didn't miss anything. If you can get the program that installs the RTP running then you probably just need to select the installation path, it can go anywhere
@volvulusx5043 I've already extracted it into the file shown, but the bandizip doesn't show the same files as before so I was just confused on how to deal with it, since it worked with the patches
Ive followed every step in the video (twice) and the language option is not appearing in easyrpg. any idea what is causing that? EDIT: turns out I had an old version of EasyRPG. Version 7.0 doesnt work, needs to be 8.0
what is the purpose of downloading the assets from the RTP? im worried that its making the game to big and is causing it to lag (im using easyrpg on my 3ds) is the RTP really necessary?
the RTP is around 15 mb. the game is 3 GIGABYTES. I think you can spare 15 more mb. Assets from the RTP are used in various places, so those assets will not display properly unless you have it.
If you followed the steps in the video perfectly then it should work, make sure you're not skipping any steps at all. Join the discord if you're still having issues
Patches should be easy, simply drag and drop the contents over to the game's folder and replace all files when prompted. Image reference: i.ibb.co/YXNqv6C/image.png
help!!!!!!!!!!! yall I dont think I need to download bandizip bc I already have this thing that helps to extract stuff, or do i have to download bandizip anyways? it gets confusion I mean, when he opens the original game, it haves a different design than when I open those sort of filles. . :C
After years of wanting to play this game, I've finally learned how to download it! Thank you!
Thanks for the guide. I don't really understand why it has to be THIS complicated to play with an RPGmaker game in 2024...

Weird - either way I believe it displays where it will store the files, so just follow that.
Holy shit, dude. You are a godsend after like 4 hours of pointless troubleshooting. Thank you.
God bless you man, it was so frustrating to launch this game, and then i found your guide.
Thank you so much! This was so straightforward and easy to follow!
Thank you SO MUCH for this video. Thanks to you I finally downloaded the game without any issues :)
finally i was able to update my version lol, thank you!!

@@volvulusx5043 last question for now, does the current latest version need to be patched?
@@byron6145 if there are any patches you should apply them. As of writing, 0.123 just released, there are no patches

Does this same formula work for other Yume Nikki games, specifically .flow?

Thanks a million
works!

Maybe you need to get the japanese language as well? I'm not sure.
Hello! Is there a way to have the game start up in English every time instead of having to select English on each start-up?
I've not heard of anything like that, no
@@volvulusx5043 I see, thank you for the swift reply!
I wonder if this will work on an Android phone, last time i tried it worked but some maps had the backgrounds missing and other buggy stuff

You can turn it off but you'll need to turn it back on if you want to patch the game or else the japanese text won't work
Launching Easy RPG doesn't work that way for me. I have to put the player in the game files, rather than putting the game files in the Easy RPG folder.
Odd, I still have it set up like this and it works. Maybe it's something to do with the continuous version?

@@vintage8704 not sure why, maybe try to follow along more closely to see where the files installed? And the game shouldn't be on steam, only Yume Nikki is on steam which is a different game.
i didn’t replace the files at 5:56 i just skipped them but the game initially works with no problems. is it ok or do i need to restart all over?
another thing i downloaded the 0.122 ver and i noticed i don’t have the initial purple icon plus the .exe in “start” and everything else, but the game works is it a problem?

@@janis6039 that's fine, it's just showing any folders that are there
Is obligatory change the locale to japan? or is it optional?
It's obligatory. Is there an issue with having it set to Japan? Because I don't observe any issue.

It shouldn't be all that much of a difference. Just need to download/extract the game along with the other stuff.
