It was orginally released by ASCII in Japan, an English translation has never previously been avaialable in the US/UK. Our group, KanjiHack, has been working on this project for some months and has come up with this translation of the program to be made freely avaialable to the public. This translation is not perfect, there are a LOT of abbreviations, but we hope to improve on this over time. (The latest versions of our translation is available at our web-page, see bottom of the document) Unlike most translations this his been a one person job, it could have been done as a group but we decided for various reasons it would be a lot quicker of one person did the work. But, although I have done this translation, I cannot take all the credit. It would not have been possible without the efforts of many others. (See credits section) --- TNomad [[[[[[[[[[ INSTALLATION ]]]]]]]]]]]]]]]]]]]]]]]]]]]]]]]]]]]]]]]]]]]]]]]]]]]]] To run correctly the program MUST be installed to the directory \RPG95 on your MAIN hard-drive which is almost always C:, this is because the CD crack always looks at the first hard-drive it finds. (This shouldn't be a problem for most of you) The self-extracting archives the program is stored in automatically create the directory \RPG95 so when it asks where to install it just install it to C:\ NOT C:\RP95. [[[[[[[[[[ MAKING GAMEDISKS ]]]]]]]]]]]]]]]]]]]]]]]]]]]]]]]]]]]]]]]]]]]]]]]]] There is a slight problem with RPG Maker 95 when compiling your games in Gamedisks. This is a wierd problem, I have no idea why but to make a gamedisk you must do the following: 1) Decide where you want your gamedisk to be located and make a directory/ folder called GAMEDISK. (E.G. If you have a game called Test you might want to make the folder/directory C:\RPG95\Test\GAMEDISK) 2) Load up your game in RPG Maker 95 and select the [File] menu and click on [Make Game Disk...] 3) [Browse] or type in the location of the gamedisk folder. (E.G. following the previous example that would be C:\RPG95\Test *NOT* C:\RPG\Test\GAMEDISK) 4) Select [Start] and in a few minutes your gamedisk will be automatically made and put into the GAMEDISK folder/directory.

[[[[[[[[[[ WIERD DASHES ALL OVER THE PLACE ]]]]]]]]]]]]]]]]]]]]]]]]]]]]]]]]]] When using this program you will probably notice - marks after text. The reason for this is part of the translation, the dashes represent spare text space. These are there for reference when I start messing with the text pointers to lengthen abbreviations. Because I will need to know where the extra space is. [[[[[[[[[[ ABOUT OUR GROUP ]]]]]]]]]]]]]]]]]]]]]]]]]]]]]]]]]]]]]]]]]]]]]]]]]] KanjiHack is an Internet translation group established August '97. Although it is unintentional, we seem to specialise in translating Japanese RPG Makers. Our past projects are "RPG Maker: Super Dante" and "RPG Maker 2" neither of these projects are fully complete at the moment since most of our recent work has been on "RPG Maker 95". What we actually do is find a game where and English version was never made available in the US/UK and we translate a "patch" for that game so that people can apply the patch to the game/program to turn it into an Englishv version. (WE CANNOT SUPPLY THE ACTUAL GAMES SINCE THAT IS PIRACY, WE CAN ONLY SUPPLY A PATCH, however we can point in the right direction to get the game since there are other people out there who don't mind distributing the games) [[[[[[[[[[ CREDITS ]]]]]]]]]]]]]]]]]]]]]]]]]]]]]]]]]]]]]]]]]]]]]]]]]]]]]]]]] THESE ARE NOT GROUP CREDITS, THESE ARE RPG MAKER 95 RELATED CREDITS Ch33s3 (dante@anime.demon.co.uk) Founded and leads KanjiHack translations Managed to get ahold of the Japanese RPG Maker 95 TNomad (TNomad@anime.demon.co.uk) Translator/Cracker/Hacker/etc... for RPG Maker 95 Aspetra Helped out with webpage and message board [[[[[[[[[[ LINKS ]]]]]]]]]]]]]]]]]]]]]]]]]]]]]]]]]]]]]]]]]]]]]]]]]]]]]]]]]]] KanjiHack Translations - http://www.barraton.demon.co.uk Our homepage where to find out latest translations.
