FAQ

Q: I installed the HF Patch and the body sometimes disappears. Help!?
A: The included uncensor has several issues and flickering/disappearing body is just one of them. Read more about the issues with the mod in the uncensor mod release post.
Q: The setup freezes. Help!?
A: Unmount the dvd, rename ハーレムめいと.mdf to disk.mdf, delete ハーレムめいと.mds and then try again.

Installing the Game

Startup.exe: Click the second button to install HaremMate

Extract ハーレムめいと.mdf (DO NOT extract the .mds files!) to e.g. C:\Downloads\HaremMate
Rename ハーレムめいと.mdf to DISK1.mdf
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)
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).
Click the second button from the top (ref. Startup.exe picture) to start the HaremMate setup.
Click (N) again a few times and wait while the setup finishes the installation.
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 come in extractable .exe files. Execute the .exe to extract them.
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.
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.
