Side-by-side from what I know often relates to the Visual C++ runtimes redistributables. Keeping those up to date can be cumbersome since there's so many versions now and for a 64-bit OS you need both the 32 and 64 bit runtimes for 32 and 64 bit programs respectively. One of the forums I frequent has a repacked version which first uninstalls all found versions and then installs the latest thus simplifying the process - > http://db.tt/Rh0wVGXU (It can be extracted with Winrar or similar, then just run x64.bat and press Y to confirm, you can open bat files in notepad if you want to c

Got a e-mail saying this was ready for download so I guess the full game is released now. EDIT: Patch for the disc version, adds subtitles to the epilogue (100% completion.) movie, it's not needed for the download version which is already up to date. http://jastusa.com/blog/2013/08/30/yumina-update-patch-available/

One of the more expensive MangaGamer titles although file size was 3.1 GB so I assume it's also a rather lengthy game but other than what I've read on the Mangagamer blog (Which is mostly the various characters personal backgrounds.) I don't know much about the game, I like the art though. Unsure about copy protection and such matters but it's probably the same as the other recent MG releases so it might take a few extra days before it's removed but I wouldn't know the details on how that works, I do however prefer to have the game DRM free although the online activation so far has worked

Download Microsoft AppLocale Utility from Official Microsoft Download Centre Download it, install and start it and then drag the game exe on top of that first window where it asks about a file, in the second window where you choose a locale choose the most bottom one if it's not already detect and pre-selected. Then create a shortcut to the exe and in the future start the game via that shortcut. Depending on the game it might either require Japanese locale either via this program or set from the control panel as per above or it might work but there's usually some text display issues

There's a torrent up on Nyaa as well, can be merged together since it's the same files thus giving better speeds. As for translation quality it seems a number of patches are planned already and a second translation might also be made but I'm not too bothered personally since I've played trough most of the initial MangaGamer releases so I'm used to it. (Not much could be worse than the "translation" of those games such as Sandwiched Between My Wife and Her Sister, ha ha.) (Shame not all the games got the updated translation treatment but I guess the probably rather few sales wouldn't ha

I assume you can once again merge the games together into a larger single "quest", I got pretty far into the previous two titles but it gets a bit repetitive to first lose every fight and then replay and win since I'm trying to complete these game to 100% which means acquiring all CG images and such. (Those AliceSoft dungeon titles were even worse though, gathering all those items and going through hundreds of fights, somehow I managed to complete it.)

I don't remember Chain as being censored? I know Jast has previously had some titles modified such as XChange 3 (One of the endings featured a small girl which was altered.) and Family Project (Which after the discussion that sparked they were more open with what alterations had been done to the games.) but I don't think this game had any cuts or at least I don't remember any, Eve Burst Error had the sex scenes removed but from what I've read the story wasn't affected much at all by that decision. (Compared to the cuts Hirameki did for their AnimePlay series were entire routes were removed

The patch is a full replacement of data.xp3 which contains most of the game, thus the file size. As for the game I finished everything that seems to be translated for now unless I missed some specific combination of choices leading to some special scenes. (There were a few small variations in some of them - one even got the main guy killed in a bad-end like way, though avoiding death seems difficult so far.) That teacher seems like the most normal of these three so far, but I'd imagine she too gets pretty messed up (Even more than how it was towards the end of the translated routes.) j
