If that "japanese text" is short sentence in yellow letters, then you're starting the game with wrong .exe file - use "mka-1.exe" to run the game, instead of "まじこいＡ－１.exe". Also, it requires Japanese locale and DirectX, but those are pretty standard, so I'm assuming you have those covered.

I think he may mean this screen, though it's probably the same one mentioned. I'm having a similar problem even though running using mka-1.exe and have everything needed for the VN to run. I already run two other VNs just fine, but for some reason it's just this one that doesn't work.

yeah, me too

Wait so A-2 until A-5 english patch will also come out later !?

Can you show me a screenshot of your "Movie" folder? Given how the characters are displayed (garbled text both in window name and message itself), it looks like some locale problem.

Running Windows 7 I got the same results just running mka-1.exe running it using Applocale got me a blank black window with audio hang. Ran StartUpTool.exe in applocale as admin with Japanese locale gave me a setup (in Japanese) clicked the first button, After doing that again ran mka-1.exe using applocale, Japanese as admin and it ran fine. Might work for you folks having trouble.

Additional note, (rechecked to make sure I gave the right info, and find I left out StartUpTool.exe has various options to select, on my system selecting the items as in this image fixed problems with the in-game graphics, after you click 1st button on left with (e) following the Japanese characters runs a setup 2nd image, after that as I wrote above, game works fine for me using applocale.
