Getting Soukan Yuugi to run

[Fredo the Guide Writer]

I've downloaded from here (a reliable uploader) and a few other spots the game Soukn Yuugi, by Black Rainbow. every version seems to have the same issue, after the Disc is mounted, when I try to turn the game on, the computer hesitates for a moment, then nothing. Even with Task Manager open, there's no hint of activity. behind the scenes

Only when I try using Locale Emulator, the windows & icons zoom in briefly, then a file such as "soukan.1DCE71D78201DA6.crash.dmp" appears in the game folder

Trying to use Compatibility Mode Windows XP SP 2 does nothing either

So, i want to know, using a window 10, do I need a proper install of the game? Install in the Right Folder? If i messed up the Install, must I find way to Uninstall out of C: Games. Or worst, do I need a VM for Windows XP SP2? (the Overflow Radish Games apparently need VM mode too)

Or has someone made a crack so the game is playable? Once the Game works, I can start its translation

I tried the one from this thread https://www.anime-sharing.com/threads/相姦遊戯.891701/ where a user specifically asked for the version with "w8+ compatibility". The gdrive link is still up.

Apparently there was newer release that runs on more modern versions of Windows somewhere around 2016. Here is the VNDB link to the release
https://vndb.org/r43689

I tested it on Windows 10 x64 and found it working both with Japanese locale and with with Locale Emulator.

Didn't have to install it, I just copied the contents from "program files" inside the drive (the BLACKRAINBOW folder) to the desktop and ran the exe. Doesn't look like a crack is necessary.

Maybe you can try this version and see if it works for you.

Thx. That Poster hasn't been seen for a couple years & only has about 50 likes in 100 posts.

I'll trust if if you do.

Before I try it, can i just delete the contents of the Soukan Yuugi Folder in the Games Folder in C:? or use the earlier disc to run uninstall?

I would uninstall first, but it shouldn't really matter. The installer just copies over the files from what I can tell.

You can never be 100% sure, but I would say this is as close as it gets:
Respectable account, multiple people came back to like the comment, unchanged upload from 2019 (you can see that in gdrive), disc image and not just files, time stamps from the files in the disc image also match the release date.

If you want more than that I recommend setting up a virtual machine to play VNs.
