⋮ No. 24524 >>24513 Strange, my friend sent me a YM version, and it doesn't seem to have those problems...
Maybe because it's an old version? But it's updated to th13, so...
I have no idea.
⋮ No. 24539 FFS, I can't figure this shit out, after finding a second variant that has the same problem with no stat rising during training I'm starting to think I'm lacking something. Do you guys know if I'm supposed to have some base program on which to unpack the eratohoYM pack or something silly like that?
A link to the file I'm using:
http://eratoho.dyndns.dk/cgi/upload.php?id=0003498 Care anyone test it to see if it's working for you? Maybe it's a system level problem for me.
>>24538 Ah, that screenshot was yours, yeah, it seems to be mk3 rev 6.
⋮ No. 24671 >>24655 there's two ways to go about it:
1. komachi
2. just eat the third mark of rebellion. you can grind it off, it just takes a long time.
⋮ No. 27132 >>27131 >But, any way to change it into English? Yes.
Make an English patch.
No touhou porn games of any kind have been translated yet. This is also probably extremely unlikely to be translated ever since there's no pretty pictures to look at, and pure text games can be absolute bitches to deal with.
⋮ No. 27134 >>27130 Reverse, and yes.

The files tagged with "本体" are the base packages for the games. It's all japanese though, be prepared.
>>27132 Moreover, the system, I doubt it would work very well with the character limits being what they are. Trying to find words that fit in the confines of the reserved text areas is going to be a MAJOR pain in the ass.
⋮ No. 32863 >>32862 The different versions of EraToho are actually very different games.
YM is the current main EraToho game that just focuses on the original slave training stuff.
The pregnant koa thing is just some sort of weird thing where you hit a buttan and koakuma gets pregnant. It's weird.
⋮ No. 32864 >>32863 here, forgot to say something.
Though my favorite Era game is probably the Reverse one(s).
Both EraTohoR and EraSQR.
It's just quite a bit more interesting than the slave training games. To me anyway.
And yeah i do at least try basically every Era game i find, unless they force me to play as a dude.
⋮ No. 32867 
>>32866 To add to this, i made this translation(based on machine translations) to help with the character creation that EraTohoR, and a few other era games, use.
Decided to post this here in case it helps anyone else.
Do note that to access this in EraTohoR you have to play in Extra or Sandbox mode(These modes also allow you to play as any Touhou).
In Normal mode you have to go through a semi-random "quiz" of sorts to create your character.
⋮ No. 32869 >>32868 Yeah i've tried them.
Once you reach a high enough favorability with someone you can sex them but nothing else to really do as far as i can tell.
Doesn't help that they don't really have alot of those prologue(口上 or KOJO) files which contain all of the actual dialogue.
⋮ No. 32880 >>32875 You should give it a shot, even if you don't know japanese.
Due to the clipboard function in emuera(Ctrl+C is the shortcut for it), it's possible, albeit kinda annoying, to play era games with machine translations.
Also if you try out Reverse, Daiyousei and Alice have by far the most dialogue.

Neat.
Though do note that Hina's text file specifically only works if you play as a male. (Not sure why)
⋮ No. 32892 >>32891 If you also downloaded the new version of a character prologue(like, say, Alice) then that might also be your problem.
Generally speaking when updating the prologue folders you should delete the old folder before installing the new one.
(I got an error too, and deleting the Alice folder before reinstalling it fixed that)
⋮ No. 35633 Continuing from
>>35632 Did some testing, I checked the error-referenced file and changed the line from:
PRINTBUTTON (ARG > 9 ? TOSTR(ARG) # TOFULL(TOSTR(ARG))),ARG
to:
PRINTBUTTON (ARG > 9 ? TOSTR(ARG) # TOSTR(ARG)),ARG
And now at least it does not crash. No idea if it fucks up things elsewhere or if there are other similar problems around.
⋮ No. 35635 >>35634 Since you didn't mention which of the variants you're using, I'll assume you meant eratoho YM. (Or YM AE, which is basically the same thing, with the exception that it's actually updated.)
Pick easy touhoes to make money off of. Don't even bother trying the special endings, you need good chunks of cash, skills and equipment for those. Generation play makes things more difficult, but continuing the same game over and over again can be boring. Pick your poison. Oh, and be very careful with who you buy. Basically Eiki and Yorihime are extremely slow and difficult to train without having their counterparts to act as assistants. There were several other difficult cases but I can't remember them off-hand. Oh, and don't bother with hina. Bitch is impossible. (Ok, not impossible, just extremely annoying, basically you have to grind one of her statuses off or she'll go depressioo~n'd as fuck. None of the standard tricks will work. Only service actions have any decent effect.)
Easy starter ones are just about all the generic fairies (after all the "real" characters in the listings), Cirno, Daiyousei, rumia etc. Also Marisa is pretty easy since she's got that neat 快楽に素直 or whatever trait. Same with Suika, IIRC. Also, check the settings, I know it'll be a PITA to go through those the first time, but it'll pay off.
When starting off, you want to avoid those damn resistance (反発) seals. They make training very difficult and grinding them off, especially the level 3 ones is really annoying. Also keep an eye for any girls with the rebellious (反抗的) trait. They get those resistance seals VERY fast.
⋮ No. 35716 >>35715 I'd agree with the first half of the statement, but the second half is once again, preachy garbage from someone not content to be personally disgusted with something, but trying to shame the very idea of someone gratifying base impulses. I see nothing particularly wrong with acknowledging some darker impulse, in a completely safe and harmless environment, which could be said to be the goal of these games. I mainly don't buy that argument, because that argument can be used as an indictment of any game where you do anything bad, or have to option to do anything bad. For all the preachers out there, i'd suggest that if you have a magic laser cannon that turns everyone in the world into angels who have no base, crass, ugly, or selfish desires, then fuckin' go for it, otherwise you can just shut your mouth about the ways other people might want to satisfy them, unless they
actually start harming people.
⋮ No. 35767 >>35764 Not sure how many characters would be available, but here is my quick 2-character test for translated training stats in op's pic:
Pleasure C/V/A/B -> C/V/A/B
Lubrication/Wetness -> Lb
Learning -> Lr
Allegiance -> Al
Lust -> Lu
Submission -> Sb
Shame -> Sh
Pain -> Pn
Fear -> Fr
Drugs/Addiction -> Ad
Violation -> Vl
Lead -> Ld
Rejection/Denial/Revolt -> Dn
Displeasure -> Di
Depression -> Dp
So yeah, either we get more characters to work with or we would need a chart to explain those abbreviations.
⋮ No. 36001 So, this is of uncertain relevance to most people, but you Linux anons may benefit.
I managed to get eratohoYM3.701 (via eraT0003498.zip release) running via Emuera running through wine. Here's how.
- Unzip the file in a way that doesn't mangle the filenames:
$ unzip -O cp932 eraT0000xxxx.zip
- Install .NET with winetricks. I'm not sure which .NET exactly you'll need, since I already had them all installed, but just try installing the ones between 3.0 and 4.5. Google for instructions.
- You need the ja_JP.sjis locale. You'll probably need to manually generate it since it's not available by default in many distros.
$ localedef -i ja_JP -c -f SHIFT_JIS /usr/lib/locale/ja_JP.sjis
If you run a distro that keeps locales elsewhere (are there even any?) I'll assume that you know what you're doing.
- Trying to run at this point will cause Emuera to crash with an error about "Encoding name 'SHIFT-JIS' not supported". You need to binary edit the Emuera executable (Emuera1807+v3.1.exe or similar) to change "SHIFT-JIS" to "SHIFT_JIS". Use your favorite binary editor. If you don't have one, vim will open binaries.
You're looking for:
S^@h^@i^@f^@t^@-^@J^@I^@S^@
Only one occurrence in the file. Change the dash to an underscore.
I am just as baffled as you as to why this is necessary when the program works on Windows. Something Linux-specific about the implementation of .NET's GetEncoding(), I guess.
- You may need fonts for basic display. Figure it out, that's pretty distro-dependent. Your wine may already have MS Gothic, but you can probably find something less shitty. Emuera will probably not run with fixed-width characters; this isn't much of an issue with Japanese wchars since they're all the same width already but your numbers will be less wide and this will cause the interface to be misaligned in a lot of situations. It's not a big deal, since it's just slowing down your reading a bit, but there is a (nonworking) dropdown menu to change the font in the options, fourth tab. If you know the name of your monospace font within wine's environment you may be able to make Emuera use it. I haven't bothered trying.
- Emuera will now crash because the directory names under ERB/ are garbled in Emuera despite displaying correctly on your filesystem. It probably has something to do with locale clashes between wine, your filesystem, and Emuera. It turns out the actual names of the directories don't matter, so rename the directories under ERB/ to something else. Make a backup if you want. I used digits 1-6, but it doesn't matter what you call them as long as they're ASCII, probably.
- Run like so:
$ LANG=ja_JP.sjis wine Emuera1807+v3.1.exe
It's somewhat unstable. You may get occasional crashes when highlighting things (Ctrl-C to bring up a copyable plaintext display) or when scrolling. The game autosaves every in-game day so you're not losing much.
As for actually playing, well, figure it out.
⋮ No. 38436 I didn't even know we had an Era thread here, but since this is ancient I think I'll post updated information.
Currently, there is a translation effort going on in 8/hgg/ (
https://8ch.net/hgg/index.html)
in the Era Games General thread.
The main games that are getting worked on are EratohoK, EratohoTW and EraMegaten, which has a touhou mod in it and is therefore relavent.
EratohoK is a rance-style strategy game set in Gensokyo where you can play as your favorite 2hu (or as an OC) and conquer the land while enslaving/dicking any touhou that crosses your eye.
It is the most frequently updated, and has the most complete dialogue translation, and has the best sex system.
EratohoTW is a dating sim with timestop powers. It has a fair bit of character dialogue, but a majority of it is untranslated.
EraMegaten is a SMT game with sex, essentially. There are characters present in it from pretty much every SMT and Persona game to my knowledge, and is based off of the Devil Summoner series in terms of gameplay. There is a mod added to it that puts Touhou characters in as summonable 'demons'
Dialogue is very easy to add into K and TW, so if there are any interested parties, please stop in and ask somebody about a template file so we can have more waifu interactions, please and thank you. You can download all the era games currently being worked on (of which there are 20+) at
https://gitgud.io/eragames which requires an account (user:era Pass: eraeraera)
