Additional Comments
But if you build a patched version, rating is clearly GOLD, and you need to set "Windows ME" in winecfg, or else it will not behave well.
In order to run RapeLay almost flawlessly you will need to build a custom version of wine. In a terminal with Ubuntu first step is:
sudo apt-get build-dep wine
Note:
if you need help doing that in other distribution or extra aid please
ask in your distribution forums/chat as I will no have the time to
answer how is done.
And
you are ready rigth now to build the custom version of wine, building
can last from 15 to 40 minutes so better enjoy a coffee after you write
this and press enter:
make
If build suceeds last line of your terminal will be: Wine build complete.
If it wasn't seek for aid in your distro or wine help channel.
Last step of building will be installing the custom wine version
sudo make install
From this you can run your RapeLay game via
~/wine-vertexfixed/bin/wine 'RapeLay English.exe'
or if you installed in a different prefix, do like the following example
ENSURE THAT YOU ARE RUNNING RAPELAY INSIDE OF RL FOLDER OR ELSE THE GAME WILL LIKELY FAIL TO START.
Set emulation to "Windows ME" or else the game will not run correctly, to do this write:
wine winecfg
HOWTO: Display Japanese characters
Japanese applications in general have certain Japanese words that
will not display properly out of the box with Wine. In order to be able
to view the Japanese characters that don't work, you must have Wine
call out the Japanese locales on your computer. Go to a terminal and
type in "LC_ALL=ja_JP wine" and then the path to your program. That is
usually all it takes to make the Japanese characters work properly.
However,
even
with this method, the program may not still display the words
correctly. That means that your computer probably does not have the
proper locales enabled, so the result will be the same. Here are
instructions on how to fix that.
In Ubuntu / Ubuntu-based Distribution:
Go to a
terminal and type in "sudo nano (or your preferred text editor)
/var/lib/locales/supported.d/ja". It should be a new file since there
isn't a file called "ja" yet. Type in the following entries:
ja_JP.UTF-8 UTF-8
ja_JP.EUC-JP EUC-JP
Please make sure to press the Enter key after typing this in to start a new line. Thanks to Jordan M. for pointing this out.
Save the file, and type in this command:
sudo dpkg-reconfigure locales
In Arch Linux:
Go to your perferred terminal and login as root:
su - (enter your password when it tells you to)
Use your text editor to edit the following file:
nano (or your preferred text editor) /etc/locale.gen
Look for these two entries and uncomment them:
ja_JP.UTF-8 UTF-8
ja_JP.EUC-JP EUC-JP
Save the text file, exit the editor, and then type in locale-gen in the terminal.
Try
using the "LC_ALL=ja_JP wine" method. It should work this time. If it
still doesn't work, you may not have the fonts that Wine needs to
correctly display the Japanese characters.
Please note that this HOWTO is designed for Ubuntu, Ubuntu-based distributions, and Arch Linux. Other distribution may have slightly different methods.
HOWTO: Display Japanese characters (cont.)
NOTE - For new versions of Wine, all that you need to do to get the other Japanese characters to work is to store the Japanese fonts in your ~/.wine/drive_c/windows/Fonts directory. Use the "LC_ALL=ja_JP wine" command to run Japanese games or applications.
This HOWTO is still here for those who still can't get the characters to display properly.
If you've followed the first part of the HOWTO, you are already set to use Japanese programs that display the words properly. However, there are some applications that still have problems displaying them properly. These usually occur in a right-click menu, or when certain messages pop-up in a window. The reason for this is because some fonts need to be replaced with vaild japanese fonts in order for situations like this to work.
Here is how to fix this problem:
First, open up a text editor and save it as "ja_JP.reg". We will be creating a registry that Wine can use to determine which fonts to use when Japanese words do not work.
As you can see from the entry, MS Gothic, MS UI Gothic, and MS Mincho are used. Make sure that these fonts are placed in your ~/.wine/drive_c/windows/Fonts directory. If you don't have these fonts, you can use different Japanese fonts in place of these and put them in your /windows/fonts directory.
Save the file, and enter this command in the terminal:
regedit ~/ja_JP.reg
This will put all the entries in the Wine registry. Use the "LC_ALL=ja_JP wine" command to run the Japanese program in question. I have a provided a screenshot of Planetarian that has the right-click menu displayed properly. You can view it in the screenshot gallery.

Installing the patch
by Johnny on Wednesday December 19th 2012, 3:15
Hello, I have a problem with the game. The installing procedure goes well, but when I must apply the rl_update_103 patch for uncensoring and translation, it goes wrong.
When I open the .exe patch, the program seems to be opening, and then, it disappears. Nothing more happens. I tried several times, and encoutered the same problem every time.
Can anybody help me please ?
