Where Am I Now?

Posted by Sakamoto on October 12, 2017

I haven’t been posting much around here, and I don’t plan to anytime soon. Mainly because all my tutorials will now be posted on my YouTube channel. So do check out and subscribe if you want to see more visual novel-related tutorials. It’ll be easier for me since I use YouTube more often and I have one less thing to keep track.

So see you guys there! In the meantime, I’ll be posting my old tutorials in my channel before moving forward with new ones.

calc84maniac has ported Steins;Gate 8-bit to the original Gameboy and the TI-84+CSE Calculator. 0.40 covers the first 4 scenarios of the game (out of 7); but he plans to finish the rest of the game. He’s done a very good job porting them faithfully; so do take a look at his works and try them out!

How to Run Kirikiroid2 for Android

Posted by Sakamoto on July 14, 2014

Last month I posted about Kirikiroid2, the KiriKiri2 emulator for Android devices:

https://visuallyneko.wordpress.com/2014/06/22/kirikiroid2-for-android/

Crysis99 from Fuwanovel shed some light on how to make it run properly. Credits to him:


Finally, we have a somewhat decent KiriKiri 2 engine for Android. I was browsing through Sakamoto's website, and came across one of his posts about it. I won't be talking much about it, but instead on how you can play the free version. The site has two different sites link for downloading, the Google play site and the Baidu site. At first, I didn't know, but there are two different versions, but after reading in the forums (It's mostly in Chinese), I found out why the baidu download didn't work. The two versions, the paid one in the Play Store, and the Ad-driven Chinese version. Chances are, (unless your phone is in Chinese), the app will crash if you try to launch the free version. That's because the developers intended it for the Play-Store-less China users. If you haven't guessed already, all you have to do to bypass this is simply change your language to 中文(简体） [Simplified Chinese]， and perhaps also your region to China time (GMT+8:00, 中国标准时间）.

So there you have it. I’ll be updating the previous post to reflect the changes; but in the meantime, enjoy running high-quality visual novels on your Android device.

Chiitrans Lite Tutorial

Posted by Sakamoto on July 10, 2014

A good lightweight alternative to Visual Novel Reader. Recommended if you are impatient and want to read Japanese untranslated visual novels immediately. Well, I’ll be trying this out on Eiyuu*Senki, haha.

Adumbrate & Resilient Love

Chiitrans and Chiitrans2 development has been abandoned and Chiitrans Lite was born. Unlike its predecessors there are no script replacements used except for names and it doesn’t support other languages except English. Nonetheless, it’s quite light and easy to use. It’s developed by alexbft and uses a modified VNR engine.

Visual Novel Oddities: Rose Blood ~Chi no Kawaki~

Posted by Sakamoto on July 6, 2014

With the Japanese version released in 1996 by Aaru for the PC-98 and a year later for Windows, one of the biggest mysteries about Rose Blood ~Chi no Kawaki~ the release of the English version. Some sources state that it received a separate release, while others believe it was included in a dual-language release alongside the Japanese version. Whatever it is, an English version does in fact, exist.
