I recommend using the 'Frontier' launcher (included in the patcher) for the maker and the main game. After this step, you should be able to play with no problems! Just remember to have disk 1 mounted before you start playing and always right-click the icon and select 'run in jap as admin'. Run the HF *DLC* patcher first, then run the regular game patcher. (They are not included in HF's patcher because they cost money and HF doesn't want to promote 'borrowing' things, they're just there to help people be able to read and play the games they have 'borrowed'.)Īfter you've installed the Append Sets, now comes the easy part.

However this is the exact way to install the Append Sets I & II so follow the video's example and install the Append Sets now. Now you don't need to do that exactly because the patcher will install the dlcs for you. The video person will show you the strange way that DLCs are installed, by unzipping the zip/rars and running the exes, then dragging the contents of the data folder you extracted into the game's data folder. The game should open and play, that's a good sign. Following what they say exactly is fine too, just requires more work and we're all pretty lazy, right?Īnyways, after the game done installing all 3 disks, remount Disk 1 (if ytou have to, I didn't have to, it was still mounted for me) and right-click the AA2 Play icon that should have appeared on your desktop, then click 'Run as Jap locale in admin mode'. Using the HongFire patcher is much easier and will get you to playing the game much faster than what the video person wants you to do. This is a pretty good video showing how to install the AA2 Character Maker and main game:įollow what they say to do until after the main game has finished installing. You'll need these tools for the installation so you might as well get them ready now. Just to make your life easier, download and install Daemon Tools and the 'HF pAppLoc' first. (This will be your disk mounter for installing the virtual disks.) Now worries, after the mods/patches you'll be able to read it in English.) (This is necessary to download and install in order to be able to run the game in 'Japanese locale' without switching your whole computer to Japanese.
