Steins;Gate 8-bit on a Gameboy & a Calculator

calc84maniac has ported Steins;Gate 8-bit to the original Gameboy and the TI-84+CSE Calculator. 0.40 covers the first 4 scenarios of the game (out of 7); but he plans to finish the rest of the game. He’s done a very good job porting them faithfully; so do take a look at his works and try them out!

How to Run Kirikiroid2 for Android

Last month I posted about Kirikiroid2, the KiriKiri2 emulator for Android devices:

https://visuallyneko.wordpress.com/2014/06/22/kirikiroid2-for-android/

Crysis99 from Fuwanovel shed some light on how to make it run properly. Credits to him:

Finally, we have a somewhat decent KiriKiri 2 engine for Android. I was browsing through Sakamoto's website, and came across one of his posts about it. I won't be talking much about it, but instead on how you can play the free version. The site has two different sites link for downloading, the Google play site and the Baidu site. At first, I didn't know, but there are two different versions, but after reading in the forums (It's mostly in Chinese), I found out why the baidu download didn't work. The two versions, the paid one in the Play Store, and the Ad-driven Chinese version. Chances are, (unless your phone is in Chinese), the app will crash if you try to launch the free version. That's because the developers intended it for the Play-Store-less China users. If you haven't guessed already, all you have to do to bypass this is simply change your language to 中文(简体) [Simplified Chinese], and perhaps also your region to China time (GMT+8:00, 中国标准时间).

So there you have it. I’ll be updating the previous post to reflect the changes; but in the meantime, enjoy running high-quality visual novels on your Android device.

Chiitrans Lite Tutorial

Sakamoto:

A good lightweight alternative to Visual Novel Reader. Recommended if you are impatient and want to read Japanese untranslated visual novels immediately. Well, I’ll be trying this out on Eiyuu*Senki, haha.

Originally posted on Adumbrate & Resilient Love:

Chiitrans and Chiitrans2 development has been abandoned and Chiitrans Lite was born. Unlike its predecessors there are no script replacements used except for names and it doesn’t support other languages except English.  Nonetheless, it’s quite light and easy to use. It’s developed by alexbft and uses a modified VNR engine.

Visual Novel Oddities: Rose Blood ~Chi no Kawaki~

With the Japanese version released in 1996 by Aaru for the PC-98 and a year later for Windows, one of the biggest mysteries about Rose Blood ~Chi no Kawaki~ the release of the English version. Some sources state that it received a separate release, while others believe it was included in a dual-language release alongside the Japanese version. Whatever it is, an English version does in fact, exist.

 

 

If you have any info on the mysterious English release, do post in the comments below. Check out Rose Blood ~Chi no Kawaki~ on VNDB.

Pretty much a boring day for me, but otherwise I’ve uploaded a few more visual novels on my blog (Japanese language ONLY):
