Installing the Game

Quick step-by-step guide

Startup.exe: Click the second button to install HaremMate

1. Extract ハーレムめいと.mdf (DO NOT extract the .mds files!) to e.g. C:\Downloads\HaremMate
2. Rename ハーレムめいと.mdf to DISK1.mdf
3. Mount C:\Downloads\HaremMate\DISK1.mdf with Daemontools Lite (other mounting software has been known to fail with Japanese games, so please use Daemontools Lite - it's completely free)
4. DO NOT autorun, but explore the mounted dvd and right-click Startup.exe and select Run with Japanese locale as administrator (you need HF pApploc for the right-click options).
5. Click the second button from the top (ref. Startup.exe picture) to start the HaremMate setup.
6. Click (N) again a few times and wait while the setup finishes the installation.
7. To run the game you need to keep DISK1.mdf mounted and right-click C:\illusion\HaremMate\HaremMate.exe and select Run with Japanese locale.

Patches and extras installation

1. Patches come in extractable .exe files. Execute the .exe to extract them.
2. hmate_01_maket is the Character Maker. It is a stand alone program and does not need the main game installed to use. Do not copy it over your game installation.
3. hmate_02_plusstudio and other similar looking files are patches. Execute the FileCopy.exe in the folders. It will automatically find your game directory and copy the files over your current game installation.
