You might be on to something with the Japanese-specific versions of the OS, I'm sure DOSBox has a way to run in Japanese language mode if such a thing exists. As for Windows XP, I did try to run in Japanese locale but it didn't work. But to be fair, a LOT of things I"ve been trying to Windows XP lately haven't worked for one reason or another.  I might need a fresh install one of these days, but that's never fun. I also get the impression that some of the files in UNITBASE rely on other programs, one of them alluding to a PC98 porting kit?

Thanks, I've got the dev kit for 3.9, and since it can run all versions from 3.5 to 3.9, that's all I really need except for historical curiosity. From what I've read on a Japanese site, I don't believe Alicesoft ever releaed earlier (Sys1-3) SDKs or manuals, which is too bad, but thanks to Takeda Toshiya's ports, I understand them to a point. I've got some stuf in the works on this front, I've just got to find the time to work on them.

I might like to check out those fan-games, do you know what releases they were attached to?
