Just finished a playthrough of Fate.
The following bugs are present :

'Tohsaka looked at me with a weird look.' "
AnoNL, do you have any plans to port UBW? It would be awesome if you could somehow do that as well.

It's included with vndsx 1.4.9:
http://weeaboo.nl/index.php?aid=31
Ok, so I managed to unpack it and I now have a folder with a bunch of stuff in it instead of a .novel file. What do I do with this?
Thank you for your help. I finally managed to get this working on the DS.
It seems like Narcissu's novel + sound doesn't even appear among my vnds' loading list. The one without sound loads just fine, although the other novels I've tried works with sound no problem. I'm tempted to try it unzipped, but I'm running all of this on Windows, so you know, with the upper-case/lower-case prob ...
Which leads me to my FSN question.
I've got the same problem from this thread -
http://digital-haze.net/ch/vnds/kareha.pl/1244431636/l50
And the solution to that is barred by my upper-case/lower-case roadblock again.
So... Upper-case/lower-case prob.
Am I up a certain creek without a paddle?
I'm confused about how to uncompress a .novel. Do I just load it with winzip?
>>14
You just rename the .novel into .zip and unpack it whith WinRAR, WinZip, 7z or whatever you use
i'm getting an error called cannot open script/main.scr or something like that...
and this error is from after what number 2 says
oh... so how do you "store" i'm using xp and i don't see this so called "store" is it add to archive?
oh ew... i just realized well i'll help anyone one who needs help with this post : right click, click add to archive look at compressing method... select store
sigh.. the script/main.scr is still broken though..
I've had to uncompress everyone of the VN's I've downloaded so far. I'm thinking there could be other factors at work that the dev team hasn't considered, such as hardware differences betweenst the various flashcart devices.
I've both of Datel's products. Datel Max Media Dock (CF) and the Datel Game'n Music (Micro SD). For both, I have had to unzip the files in order for the VNDS program to be able to see them.
Well, I decided to look some stuff up on the guy spamming the wiki. Apparently, its supposedly some script some jerk off made that is spamming tons of random sites.
(Source:http://www.highdots.com/forums/alt-html/www-ripe-net-spamming-world-257905.html)
I'm guessing that its the same person that is spamming the messageboard, but I'm not sure (haven't checked). There is a record of the same thing posting NSFW pictures on a different website as well.
http://www.simplemachines.org/community/index.php?topic=283433.0
In the same thread provided (simplemachines.org), there is a proposed solution, project honeypot (http://www.projecthoneypot.org/index.php) along with various other regular anti-spam techniques (captcha, etc.). Perhaps someone can take a look into the project honeypot thing?
i'll try but i'm not going to be very fast on this,i cant try to find something until saturday
oh well,i did it anyway
it's a website that give you the ip of the computers who followed a hidden link
All you have to do is see them on your account and ban them.
Seems pretty useful if they dont use a proxy
Well, those are all good and all, but if we even at least had somebody who checked the forums often enough who had the power to delete them, that would help a lot. It seems like those with power don't check these very often....
I wasn't checking the board for quite some time, when I dropped by just now, I was kinda shocked by all the spam. Why would anyone bother spamming this board anyway? Not like he's gunna piss of alot of people here.

It does seem like those with power don't check super often, but then again, there aren't really many people with power in the first place, so unless this was like an actual job, 24/7 coverage is just a fantasy xD.
>>5
That is what I first thought, but then if the spam is just coming from an automated source, then our messageboard just happened to be extremely unlucky.
Considering you're getting spammed with picks of naked women, without links to a site or any sort of message acompanying them I'd fare a guess that you have a human spammer.
Also, did you consider setting your message board to require registration before posting?
Hello guys,
I was able to get my Fate/Stay Night working today, but as I progressed through the Visual Novel,I noticed I could not find an option to save.
So my question is quite 'Noobish', but "How do you save"?
Thank you so much for the help,
Regards,
Kame
There is a bar at the bottom of the touch screen and there is a button with an arrow pointing down and an arrow pointing up. I believe that the arrow pointing down is the save (can't remember anymore). There also was a way to do that using a button combination I think, but I can't remember what the combination was. The manual included in the download should tell most if not all of the functions.
R+X brings up the save screen.
L+X Brings up the load screen.
I kept getting these confused and accidently wrote over my saves a few times already. Easy enough to back up the save files to computer though thankfully.
And man, that prologues is long. Took me a good four hours to read through that. Highly recommend you play through the Prologue before jumping into the game though. Prologue has no choices to make, it literally is a VN, whereas the game is a VN with occasional choices to make.
By any chance would you be able to port this? There's an English patch already done.
The encryption is a simple xoring.
The game's scripts use 00h instead of a linebreak so replace those with 0Dh to turn them into standard text files.
int key[0x0C] = { 0x82, 0xED, 0x82, 0xF1, 0x82, 0xB1, 0x88, 0xC3, 0x8D, 0x86, 0x89, 0xBB };
for(i=0; i<fsize; i++,x++)
{
if(x>0x0B)
x=0;
buffer[i]^=key[x];
if(buffer[i]==0x00)
buffer[i]=0x0D; // optional, fixes linebreaksDouble post. Here's a tool specifically for the mg_data files, it will not work on the others.
http://www.mediafire.com/?mjkzomdxyey
Usage: mbl.exe (file)
Example: mbl.exe mg_data2.mbl
This will output all of the files into a folder with the same name as the input file. All files should display properly in most good text editors but some might not display the new lines.
Good luck, have fun.
Wow, thanks so much. I'm not very good with encryption, so your information really helps a lot. I have currently extracted the english script, and am starting to implement vnds functions. I'll have a beta out soon, as soon as I extract the backgrounds and characters.
I'm waiting,thou i never played this, i really wanted to try it,keep it guys,ganbatte!
Just one question:
Would you guys complain if the day indicator would be missing in the DS version?
By the way, how do you think about ending/cg viewers or music players in DS ports?
day indicator means the date?
maybe, of course put it at the first convertation of that day..
maybe
12 may 2xxx....
or maybe,
[name of character] 12 may 2xxx
and the ending / CG viewers, i really loved to see that...
not difficult to integrate ending or CG viewers, take a look at the code for Saya No Uta and Ballad of an Evening butterfly. You could even just copy the code and replace the file directories.
So how's the project?
there is no beta test?
i really wanted to try this one..
When extracting the F/S N novel file earlier I noted that on about twenty occasions 7-zip encountered ".aac" files with identical names to files it had already extracted, which required me to decide which one to keep. In every instance the files were of different sizes, implying they were not truly identical save for their names.
Is there a reason why these other files were/are present? AAC files are only audio correct? So I shouldn't have to worry about any major issues during game play because of this aside from incorrect audio somewhere right?
Do NOT extract sound.zip, just put it in the folder with the rest of the files.
So VNDS should be capable of reading the files even though they're contained within a zipped volume?
If that is correct will I need to switch out the version of VNDS I'm using from version 1.4.9 to one of the 1.5 versions in order for it to read that?
I noted that versions 1.4.9 doesn't recognize the ".novel" file format. But works fine with said VN's if I extract them into the novel folder.
Picking this one up as well. It should be a lot easier than Kanon. The thing I'm worried about most with this one is screen effects. It's going to require some testing but I think I might release a full episode 1 for people to test after I get up to a certain point. Let's say the first twilight since that should be enough to test a bit of the commands. Otherwise it'd take a while for me to release something major since I'm a pretty slow reader.
This small demo is the opening of episode 1 and goes up until where the OP movie plays. I am not affiliated with Witch Hunt in any way but I will deal with misc errors like typos if people report them here. I know the script is littered with them so you'll not only be helping out the DS port by reporting errors but also the PC translation.

Hi anon , i have successfully converted umineko ep1-4 (with the latest patcher) , but i don't know what to do with the various files that i got now , should i include them in the vnds directory or do they work independently ?
I'm going to reinstall again then. I'll post the results again. Thank you for all of your help so far by the way.
I'm going to reinstall again then. I'll post the results again. Thank you for all of your help so far by the way.
I'm about ready to give up, I did another fresh reinstall from my disk, same error appears, I don't know what I'm doing wrong. I guess all I can really do is wait and hope someone posts a pre-converted batch of ep1-4, since nothing I've done seemed to fix the problem. If anyone would be kind enough to do that it would be greatly appreciated ._.
A valid Umineko-Chiru install should look like this
293 files, 1.91GB
Mines has all of that. Also, I played through episodes 1-5 flawlessly on my PC, leading me to believe that there is nothing wrong with my install :s. I replay specific parts daily, so I know currently that banquet-end of the golden witch function properly. So I'm really at a loss at this point :(
Okay, I finally sucessfully converted episodes 1-4 (yay me). Now on to Chiru lol.
there are problems with butterflies in ep 1 and 3 and ep3 crashes fairly often
also some problems with red text
i'll give more detailed informations when i get the time
(i have the exact lines where it crashes)+screeshots
Could someone upload just the converted scripts for EP1-4 and EP5 somewhere? Everything else converts just fine, but for some reason it won't convert the scripts won't, even though everything is in the correct directories.
Well, the weekend was wasted on porting these two since I just felt like it and also the "hallucinate" can be a slight demonstration for the animation idea (and i think it looks really nice). Somehow i can't seem to convert the songs to working mp3 for vnds but luckily enough, it works just as well as sounds. If there is anything wrong (stupid errors and stuff) please help me patch it all up, thanks!

G'day y'all
I'm here today to announce the opening of the First VNDS Community Collaboration Project.
This is for anyone who wishes to try their hands at creating a Visual Novel for the DS. Whether you are a passionate story teller, amateur artist, or just enjoy creating something new, you are all welcome to try your hand. The guidelines are:
So if you're interested, here what you need to do:
Well, if it helps, I'm still semi-working on mine (though I have no idea when its going to be done, xD I'm putting it off for other things most of the time).
That's fine. At least somebody responded. All the others who were here in the beginning haven't shown up in a long time. Kinda sucks. I was hoping that with the fairly low entry-point Hogan set up it would work even with the usual internet disappearances.
Anyway, glad to hear it. Can't wait to read it whenever you finish!
xD its not quite the usual visual novel and it may very likely be a failed attempt (I don't vouch for my creative writing skills xD). Hopefully, it will all make sense (I think it is sort of scatterbrained when I read it) in the end.
You can pretty much tell I gave up. The only reason I wanted to do the project was because I was bored, and was expecting to be bored the whole break.
Buuut something came up and it's been one hell of a break, sorry guys XD.
Yeah I'm nowhere near finished but in my defense not only did I quite recently start up some correspondence stuff I also got a PS3 around christmas time. >.> So I have no time for anything anymore. :p
Hey, it's just nice to have some responses. I don't hold it against anybody if they lost interest of stuff came up. I just wanted to know... I guess just so I'd know what was going on.
Hogan, you here anymore?
So, any progress with anybody who is still messing around?
I guess I'll ask once more since it's now February. CXBlackCatXD, you still working? And how are you doing Anonymoose, if you're still here?
Hello. I'm french so sorry for my english :s
I downloaded this homebrew with Narcissu (sound too) and I had a problem : after Chapter 2, the homebrew let me choice between Prologue, Chapter 1 and Chapter 2 so it was impossible for me to go on :s.
I resolved the problem by modifying choice.src file (in \vnds\Novels\Narcissu\script\). I think that after the chapter 2, unlock value in my global save or save is always at 2 so the homebrew doesn't let to go on with chapter 3. So I think the problem is from the Narcissu Novel and not from the homebrew.
N.B. : This homebrew is a really good idea. I like Visual Novels a lot and now I can read them in my bed before sleeping ^^. Go job ;)
Oh i forgot to describe exactly how I modify choice.src file :s
I thought that unlock value was blocked at 2 even if I finished the second chapter so I invert unlock value for Chapter 2 and Chapter 3. I think it's not a good solution because the problem will happen at the end of the Chapter 3. I tried to see if the problems was from files in \vnds\Novels\Narcissu\script\ but I found nothing wrong :s
I know it's an old thread, but whatever. I didn't want to make a new one. For whichever reason, the voice samples of this game sound slowed down in VNDS (they sound okay when I listened on my computer). I tested in VNDS versions 1.4.1, 1.4.7, 1.5.0, 1.5.1 and they all sound like so. Did this ever happen for anyone else?
hey, it is doing that.
Ill solve it eventually since my quick 5 minute attempt didnt work.
Do you have solve the voice samples problem? If you already have how?
Encountered this same issue earlier. Running VNDS version 1.4.9.
I'm just curios,
so let me know which novel would you like to see ported the most.
My choice is "Phantom of Inferno", because I haven't played it yet and the DVD port must have been an awful mess.
Other than that: ITT propose a novel for me to port :)
(And no, phantom is out...)
Higurashi No Naku Koro Ni (Kai and Rei included of course), since the first four are being "officially" released sometime the end of this month.
Ah, as mentioned in previous posts, a translation of the Higurashi DS games would be fine too.
how about school days or Wanko to Kurasou
wanted somehow...
I do believe there's a Wanko to Kurasou thread here somewhere but I can't say anything as to progress on it. i just recall seeing it is all. ;p
There is: http://www.digital-haze.net/ch/vnds/kareha.pl/1237086512/l50
That one. . .
Is a dropped project . . .
I think. . .
Because it has no news nor updates over 2 month. . . .
I'm so excited. .
But now totaly disapointed by it. . . .
I would like to play something from G-collections on vnds, like Snow sakura or The Sagara Family, i would port it myself but i dont know how to convert .ISF files to .txt.
Yay for more G-collection titles for DS!
>>107
Well, personally I'd vote for Sagara Family, since I haven't played that one yet. But I I failed on the first attempt to extract the script.
As for Snow Sakura (btw one of the eroges that everybody should have played: http://zepy.momotato.com/2009/09/01/eroge-that-everybody-should-have-played/ ):
Download and install crass (http://galcrass.blog124.fc2.com/ )
Unzip the archive, in my example to F:\crass\
Open a command line window and navigate to the new crass directory.
Run the command: crage.exe -d "D:\Program Files\G-Collections\Snow Sakura" -o F:\crass\snowsakura
Be careful to replace the first path with your Snow Sakura installation directory and the second path with your crass folder\snowsakura, this is where the resources will be extracted to.
>>109
Thank you very much, if i can obtain the scrips i am going to port Snow Sakura, but i am a begginer so i think porting it will take a long time.
Probably a nigh impossibility, but I'd love to see Katawa-Shoujo get ported.
Since my university blocks all torrent access that's a no go but the DDL rapidshare link I keep seeing for FSN DS is dead, anyone got a good one?
You could try the vnds wiki. It seems to be direct download, but it is in .novel format, so you should unzip it first if anything. I can't vouch for any of it though, never downloaded the .novel version (I got the one before that xD).
Just downloaded both the soundless and full versions yesterday. Can vouch that both seem to work, though you will want to install 7-zip so you can extract the files properly.
I was playing this game once again and tried to extract the contents of it, but I can't seem to do it. I was planning on porting it to VNDS, so I was wandering if anyone was able to extract it or knew how to...
Are you the same one who posted here a few months ago?
If not, the two of you should get together.
I highly appreciate the idea of porting Nocturnal Illusion.NI is a very good and classic eroge. It's 'almost-an-adventure-game'-system would also set new standards about what is possible in VNDS.
no, it wasn't me and I can't seem to find the older post... But anyone who wants to help is welcome, I just need to figure out how to extract the data... Like scripts and images... Crass isn't working on this one.
older NI port discussion: http://digital-haze.net/ch/vnds/kareha.pl/1206399826/
There even was a discussion about whether to use the graphics from the PC-98, MSDOS, or Windows 98 version, about gradiant shading and stuff like that. Even the American fan novel got mentioned. I can't find that thread though, but here is one that at least shows that somebody was working on it at one time:
http://digital-haze.net/ch/vnds/kareha.pl/1239589984/l50
This post (17) is especially interesting:
>Do you need help with the graphic? I have I think all of the
>bg ripped, a few event pic, and a few script extracted and decoded.
>Also... The by the script files you refer to the .bts files right?
>I have a lot of free time this week so if you wish I can extract/decode them to you.
I hope at least one of these two persons is still lurking here, and good luck to all of you!
>>4 Ah yes, thank you very much. That was the more interesting one which I could not find.
And now?
I have VNDSx 1.4.9. And I downloaded FSN from here~ http://digital-haze.net/vnds.php
Questions.
1.) The sound link is for just the sound or its the whole package (novel + sound)?
2.) How do I use the FSN Converter?
3.) Uncensored patch. I have it. And I know I'm supposed to replace the images in the background folder. But where exactly is that?
>>1
I really have no idea why anyone would use the uncensored patch all that much xD. Primarily because its a great visual novel as it is without the uncensoring, but also because the difference between the two is something that actually takes a couple of seconds to notice xD.
Thank you. Also I'm having the problem where it's just a black screen after loading. I'm trying to follow the steps given here~
http://www.digital-haze.net/ch/vnds/kareha.pl/1206655586/53
but one link is dead. This problem is for 1.5.3 from Digital Haze.
When using VNDSx 1.4.9, it cannot detect a novel present.
>>4
VNDSx 1.4.9 can't detect a novel as present because Jake took out .novel support since it wasn't doing much good and may have been what was breaking other parts.
Ahh ok. So I'll stick to that 1.5.3 ver. then.
Any ideas on how to get FSN working on that?
xD actually it should be the other way around. You should stick with version 1.4.9 (there is less broken stuff since the .novel format was removed). The FSN version I have is before the .novel format (so its kind of strange and uses the .jar file to set it up).
lol what should I do then if I want to play that game?
Well, if you haven't tried it yet, try extracting the .novel file that they have on the main page. (use winrar or something similar)
Sorry about the multiple replies. The thread didn't update when I did them so I thought there might have been a server error.
I have the .novel [sound] file from Digi-Haze's site. Tried that with 1.5.3 and 1.4.9 and both have problems as explained above.
Weeboo.nl has expired download links for the game.
Hello! I just searched that there is a 2nd series of Fate/Stay Night and it is called Fate/Hollow Ataraxia. Since I am not really good at programming and grammar. I was wondering if someone who knows can do such a thing. I love reading Fate/Stay Night and just hopping if someone can really make the 2nd series. Here is my Research Link:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Caren_Ortensia
I also noticed there is a Prequel to Fate/Stay Night and it is called Fate/Zero. I was hoping if someone could make that too.
Here is my Research Link:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fate/zero
I would give my 100% respect to someone how would really make my wished come true! :D
>Fate/Hollow Ataraxia
wait for the damn thing to be translated first.
>Fate/Zero
you suck at researching this isnt a VN.
Fate Zero is a light novel that is already translated by Baka-Tsuki. Try researching a BIT harder.
>>3
Small correction fate/zero isn't completly translated yet they've only done the first two books as of yesterday
http://www.baka-tsuki.org/project/index.php?title=Fate/Zero
So much fail in one thread...
fail at how he only used wikipedia..
On Beast's Lair someone made a pdf of fate/zero. Just the first two volumes so far I think. But you can convert pdf to image, then view image with comicbook ds.
OR... you can make the lightnovel into a visual novel without choices..
err, light novels doesn't come with sprites, bgms, sfx, voices, or enough images to create a VN, kinetic or not...Sounds like a far fetched idea...
As for the pdf, i might still have vol 2 images from when I compiled them into the pdf on Beast Lair. I'll have to look around though...
I like Red Shift. I was hoping for a sequel. D:
Me too.
dd bb good
I'm very sorry for creating a new thread but,
can anyone explain to me how to save in vnds? i couldnt find sav2xml.py in vnds\tool and the other way to fix it is to upload it on the mainpage, but I think 80 MB is a little bit to much to upload, esspecialy with my shitty connection.
Thanks, and sorry for my bad english.
lol.. its the down arrow thing and the up arrow is to save
OR....
Press the right shoulder button and X to save, and the left shoulder and X to load.
I'm trying to install vnds on my R4 which has Moonshell on it and i was wondering if I just follow the normal instructions or do something different. I also would like to apologize if there is already a thread like this, I couldn't find one.
do it the normal way. just stick the vnds folder in and thats it.
I am reading through Fate/Stay Night, and I was wandering if you have to play through Fate first before getting Unlimited Blade Works on the DS.
When going through, I did not get the option to stop Saber, so I was wandering.
vnds: 1.4.7 and 1.5.3 tried.
probably yes, since it's the same in the original novel: you have to beat Fate first, then you'll get the choice to stop or not saber.
weird, i finished heaven's feel on my first run through a fresh install of 1.5.1 (then later migrated back down to 1.4.7) and fate ds
I'm having a Guru Meditation Error right after a line in the sixth act on the sound version of True Remembrance.
I'll get the details at a later point but is anyone else having this problem?
