=== Running the game ===

*'''Q: I get an error when running the game: "Config file is not found (Data)" or "Could not read the settings" or similar. What can I do?''' A: You have this problem because you installed the game to the default or an invalid location. Read how to install the game properly under [[Illusion Games How to install| Installing the game]]. Alternatively you can use the Registry Fixer to fix the install location and registry. Read more about how to use the Registry Fixer and where to get it [[Illusion Games How to use Registry Fixer | here]]. Alternatively, you can run the game with Japanese locale (AppLocale).

A: Eject the DVD/unmount the image and it will work[[File:Imthehero_removedvd.jpg|thumb|Unmount the image]].

*'''Q: The game freezes on the now loading black screen when I start it. How can I fix this?''' A: Update your graphics drivers.

*'''Q: I get an error about d3dx9_*.dll. Help?''' A: Install the latest DirectX 9.c [http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/details.aspx?FamilyID=2da43d38-db71-4c1b-bc6a-9b6652cd92a3&displaylang=en from here]. If you have trouble running the web installer (cabinet cannot be trusted error, etc), try the "redistributable" (aka end-user runtime) package [http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/details.aspx?displaylang=en&FamilyID=3b170b25-abab-4bc3-ae91-50ceb6d8fa8d from here] .

=Installing the game=
A Japanese game is not meant to run on non-Japanese Windows. To get it to work you have to do some tricks: '''[[Illusion Games How to install| Click here to learn how to install and run the game]]'''.
==Quick step-by-step guide==
[[File:Imthehero_startup.png|thumb|Click top button to install DirectX, click the second button to start the setup]]
[[File:Imthehero_changedestination.png|thumb|Change install folder]]
#Open the archive and extract the <tt>ore.iso</tt> file to an English named folder, e.g. <tt>C:\Downloads\Hero</tt> ('''do not''' the extract the .mds file).
#Mount <tt>C:\Downloads\Hero\ore.iso</tt> with [http://www.disk-tools.com/download/daemon Daemontools Lite] (other mounting software has been known to fail with Japanese games, so please use Daemontools Lite! - it's completely free)
#DO NOT autorun, but explore the mounted dvd and right-click <tt>Startup.exe</tt> and select ''Run with Japanese locale as administrator'' (you need [http://www.hongfire.com/forum/showthread.php/328830 HF pApploc] for the right-click options).
#IMPORTANT: Click the topmost button to install DirectX 9.0c (if you can't click the top button you are already up to date and you can just skip this step).
#Click the second button to start the setup.
#Wait until the setup wizard is displayed and click the button with (N) a few times until you reach the screen shown on the right (Change install folder).
#'''IMPORTANT: '''You MUST change the default install folder to an English named one, like e.g. <tt>C:\illusion\Hero</tt>. Click the button on the upper right to browse and specify the folder. This step is '''ESSENTIAL''' to be able to play/patch the game, so don't be careless about it!
#Click (N) again a few times and wait while the game is installed.
#To run the game you need to right-click <tt>C:\illusion\Hero\俺が主人公.exe</tt> and select ''Run with Japanese locale''.

==Manual Copy==
NOT RECOMMENDED: If you cannot get the above to work, you can install the game by doing a [[Illusion Games How to install#Alternatives| manual copy]]. Files should be copied from dvddrive:\setup\WinRoot\illusion\. Note: The Registry Fixer currently doesn't support this game, so until it has been updated you have to do this to set the registry:

#Make a new text file.
#Copy the below to the file.
#Edit the INSTALLDIR values to match where you copied the game and the maker (make sure to use double '\').
#Save the file as <tt>hero.reg</tt>.
#Double-click <tt>hero.reg</tt> and click Yes to enter information into the registry.
