Some help with 学園退魔！ ホーリー×モーリー and AlphaROMdiE please?

[Dominy990784]

I just installed both frill's 学園退魔！ ホーリー×モーリー and I was told that it needs AlphaROMdiE to crack and run.
Its not the first time I used AlphaROMdiE and it worked just fine last time I used it on a game called 催眠術 Re.
But this time when I did the exact same thing on 学園退魔 just like what I did on 催眠術 Re, it just didn't work.

I draged the exe in to the game folder, opened the exe and draged the siglus engine into the opened window.
It tells me if I want to open the game right now and I clicked yes. The exe window faded away but the game didn't start.
A shortcut is created in the game folder and I clicked on it, the loading blue circle appeared for seconds and disappeared, while the game still don't start.
I opened task manager to see what's going on but I don't see any trace of the game nor the AlphaROMdiE.

In short, nothing happened.

Can anyone help me with this problem please? I saw another thread here with is similar to my issue but no, they are not the same problem(at lease I think they aren't)
Or is there any other ways to get through Siglus Engine?

P.S. I did try to run AlphaROMdiE in administor mode but it still doesn't work.

Frill games usually have a one-time DVD check on top on AlphaROM, so make sure you keep the image mounted at least the first time you run the application.
Sometimes the newer version of AlphaROMDie (20140214) doesn't work and the old one (20121001) does, so try that too.
Did you try ticking the last checkbox in AlphaROMDIE before dragging siglusengine.exe in the open window? Sometimes that helps even with SiglusEngine engines.

For keeping the image mounted and ticking the last checkbox, I reckon I've tried out both.
But I still haven't tried using the older version of AlphaROMDIE yet, could you tell me where to get it please?
The original site only has the newest version.

You can find it relatively easily on this website, for example here : http://www.anime-sharing.com/forum/...ost-cd-getchu-cd-scans-alpharom-patch-467011/

Thank you, I tried it out but it still didn't work.
I guess it put the exe into the game file and drag the game into the pop-up window just like how the new version works?
I did it that way except it needed me to choose the siglusEngine exe from my game file.
I clicked entre then this popped up https://**********/a/lISiM9S
And I think its telling me to check if the exe is already occupied or something like that?
A bat. file is also created in the game file but I doubt it works...

The old version is a patcher, so you only need to drag siglusengine.exe onto the window it opens (ticking the last of the three boxes, or not), and it will overwrite the game's executable with the patched version (the original is backed up). You should just get something like this, no bat file or anything :

And you can run the game as normal.

Unfortunately I can't see your last attachment so I have no idea what message you're getting.
If it's asking you for additional input then maybe you're not actually choosing the right .exe ? Sometimes siglusengine executable are split in multiple folders

I tried putting installing the game in my other directory and surprisingly, it half-ly worked...
Just like how you said, I dragged the exe into the window and something popped up, though its different from yours, they basically means the same https://**********/a/68939yQ
However, same as the new version, I clicked the supposedly patched game exe and still nothing happened... Just like how the new version didn't work...

Btw I replaced the attachment that you're not able to see, I posted it on imgur. Hope you can help me... Please... Thank you...

Ironically, Imgur is banned on this forum (I forgot the reason), so I still can't see the attachment.
Still, if you're not getting an error message when starting the game ("Japan only" and the like) then maybe AlphaROMDie did its work fine. I noticed there's a patch for WIN7 and up on frill's site for the game, have you applied it?

 

[Dominy990784]

For imgur, you can just type in imgur dot com and then add the the letters behind the link(e.g. /a/lISiM9S) behind, and you'll be able to see it. Sorry for making things harder...
I hate to admit it but I actually do know some chinese so no, its not about the Japanese only thingy...(plus I'm already using a jap system)
Also, I'm using win10 so will the patch for win7 work?

Oh shit! It really did work!?!? The win7 patch really did work!!! I don't know how it works and I was half way through typing this reply????
Gosh,,, It took me, and you my friend, a whole night solving this thing... Thank you very much, kzel! You really saved my day!
And yeah,,, sorry for not checking all the patches frill has released... I'll check carefully next time.
Anyway, thank you very much!

Glad you got it to work! Don't worry about it, sometimes it can be hard to tell if a game doesn't work because of copy protection or if it's something else. In this case it seems the base program had some issues with recent windows versions, the patch is not just for WIN7 but for 7/8/10 so you should be fine.
