Click highlighted button to change the destination

1. Extract the ImmoralWard.iso file to an English named folder, e.g. C:\Downloads\IW
2. Mount C:\Downloads\IW\ImmoralWard.iso with Daemontools Lite (other mounting software has been known to fail with Japanese games, so please use Daemontools Lite! - it's completely free)

4. Refer to Startup.exe picture on the right: If you can click the top button it means you have to install DirectX 9.0c. Your game will not work if you ignore it!
