Kaetemi> will you post the translation patch or something like that soon

I'm really eager to try this out,but I dont know any japanese.
As for running it on windows xp, you have to go to control panel>regional and language options>
on regional options tab:
set it to japanese, location can be anything,
on advance tab:
again- set it to japanese.
If it wants a windows xp cd, tell it to use whats on the computer, after that it will prompt you to restart. After a restart you will have a japanese windows xp..
you can also run the installer through applocate instead,but not sure if it will work then.
Also,when installing make sure that there is no kanji or any other weird encoding in the directory names (rename any j-characters to english fonts)
