Quick step-by-step guide

Startup.exe: Click the second button to install the game

Click highlighted button to change the destination

1. Extract the three ISO files to an English named folder, e.g. C:\Downloads\ppd
2. Mount C:\Downloads\ppd\DISK1.iso with Daemontools Lite (other mounting software has been known to fail with Japanese games, so please use Daemontools Lite! - it's completely free)
3. 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).
4. Refer to Startup.exe picture on the right: If you can click the button it means you have to install DirectX 9.0c. Your game will not work if you ignore it!
5. Click the second button from the top (ref. Startup.exe picture) to start the setup.
6. Click the button with (N) twice.
7. IMPORTANT: Change the destination to e.g. C:\illusion\PPD if you want to be able to play the game! (see picture on the right)
8. Click N again a few times, and lastly (I), and wait while the game installs.
9. About third of the way the setup will ask for DISK2: Mount DISK2.iso with Daemontools Lite, wait a few seconds and then click OK.
10. About two thirds of the way the setup will ask for DISK3: Mount DISK3.iso with Daemontools Lite, wait a few seconds and then click OK.
11. Wait while the game finishes the installation.
12. To run the game you need to mount DISK1.iso again and right-click C:\illusion\PPD\AAPlay.exe and select Run with Japanese locale.
