Installation

In order to play this you will need 4 things:

• A computer with settings for non-unicode applications set to Japanese: Start Button -> System Panel -> Regional and Language Options -> Advanced Tab on Windows XP/ Administrative Tab on Vista and Windows 7. Reboot.
• The Japanese RPG Maker 2000 RTP (which can be downloaded here).
• The game itself ([http://www.hongfire.com/forum/showthread.php?t=100606 search in last pages of this thread over at Hongfire for the most recent version).
• English diary pages (or here for a mirror) translated by SuperChill, based on KingAlaric's translation.

Now you have everything to run the game. First instal the RPG Maker RTP (after switching unicode table). Just keep on hitting the the Next Button (the left one) unless you want to install it in different folder othe than the default on C: . After the RTP is installed you can unzip the game itself to a folder of your choice (e.g. using 7-zip which is a free open-source file archiver). Now unzip the English diary mod and copy the files into VH's game directory. Overwrite files if asked. Now open the folder and double-click on "RPG_RT.exe" to start the game.

Portable Version for USB Sticks and Laptops

You can also deinstall the RTP and still be able to play the game. This is usefull if you want to save the game on a USB stick or the like and want to play it on different Computers. For this to work, copy the contents of the RTP installation directory into the VH Game directory (where all the files of the game are located). Do NOT override files if asked.

You now have a version of VH with the RTP incorporated.

Controls

• Use the arrow keys to walk, tab the arrow keys twice to run.
• Use Z to select, X to cancel/open the menu.
• Use Z to attack when in the overworld (Space key works later in the game too).

You can also a gamepad instead of the keyboard. The controls for gamepads vary with each pad so you will have to figure it out for yourself.

Translation

While there is no real translation of this game you can use AGTH and Translation Aggregator to translate the on-screen text into English. First you will need to download AGTH from its website. Install AGTH and download Translation Aggreator from Hongfire. Install this and now it's time to do some magic.

Create a new shortcut to AGTH. Right-click it hit preferences. Now you can modify the link to AGTH. Change the link into this:

Full path to agth.exe "full path to RPG_RT.exe"

Which will look something liek this depending on where you have installed it:

C:\program files\agth\agth.exe "C:\porn\VH\
or in my case:
D:\Programs\Porn\games\agth\agth.exe "D:\programs\porn\Games\VHゲーム０１_100203_LIGHT\RPG_RT.exe"

Now run the game from the shortcut you just created and press F4 to leave fullscreen mode. Go to the AGTH windows which was opened along with Violated Heroine en press 'Options'. Activate 'Auto copy to clipboard' and hit OK. Now open up Translation Aggregator and make sure to enable the auto translate from clipboard.

Congratulations, you can now actually understand what the text on the screen says.

In addition, if you are too lazy to use AGTH or don't care about dialoge, there is a status diary translation that should work with the latest version, located here.

Notes

• You can press F4 to get in or out of full-screen.
