[SOLVED]Need Shift-JIS to wine a Japanese game (or not)

The game in question is Little Busters.
I have heard at animesuki forums that the game runs fine with winelocale. Thing is, winelocale is for ubuntu. I used to use ubuntu, and I could probbably go back to it, but I know I'd complain about something and distro hopping isn't a good habit.
So I want to try to get this game working on Arch.
I think the first step I need is to get Shift-JIS locales in Arch. It is not in the /etc/locale.gen file and I tried adding it with similar syntax and that just gave me an error.
EDIT: Got a working crack. Thanks Procyon.

I think it comes down to uncommenting ja_JP.UTF-8 in /etc/locale.gen, running locale-gen, and then LANG=ja_JP.UTF-8 wine program_name.exe
At least, this has worked for me for a PC98 emulator, and some Japanese shmups.
Not using LANG=ja_JP.UTF-8 makes me see only blocks.
EDIT:
And fonts maybe... I don't know where I got it all, but my Windows/fonts is 100MB.
Wow that seemed to work. I didn't even need Shift-JIS or winelocale. Before I tested with just "LANG=ja_JP wine exe" and that worked with some programs but not this one for some reason.
Thanks.
I'm pretty sure winelocale doesn't work on Archlinux. The guy said it probbably doesn't work on debian even. Though the guy said that to use it you need to install Shift-JIS which is available on ubuntu, and said something about lang= not working well with Shift-JIS because it wasn't ASCII compatible or something. That's why I thought I had to get that locale.
Yes, I know Japanese. Its a bit of a pain sometimes since there are all sorts of problems Linux has with Japanese. Though I have even more problems since I need Chinese as well. (I've got the whole mess somehow sorted out now, but before I had problems with Japanese fonts breaking Chinese fonts and all.)
Slightly offtopic but what PC98 emulator did you get working with Linux? Anex?
EDIT: Well the install worked fine, but the actual game gives me
err:aspi:SCSI_OpenDevice Failed to open device /dev/sg0: 許可がありません
That error many times until an error with gibberish comes up. The Japanese in the Failed to open device error means no permissions.

Creating File in Shift-JIS, Japanese Encoding for EFT

Hi,
We need to do EFT for the data which is present in Shift-JIS(JA16SJIS), Japanese characterset.
Our database is having
NLS_CHARACTERSET -- UTF8
NLS_NCHAR_CHARACTERSET -- AL16UTF16
File needs to be sent to the bank in the Shift-JIS format, I need to know how we can generate a file in this encoding?
Please help?
Thanks,
Priyanshu

Welcome to the Forum,
I assume you mean Electronic Funds Transfer under EFT because of mentioning a bank. (but please note wikipedia http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/EFT does not have this one but defines several others)
Okey so you would need to convert the character set.
And this may depends on the tool you use to generate the output files.
Lets see how I would do this in a linux env:
If you have a modern linux environment you most likely have utf8 characterset as environment character set. So to match this you would setup NLS_LANG to this utf8 accordingly.
see more here: The correct NLS_LANG setting in Unix Environments [ID 264157.1] https://support.oracle.com/CSP/main/article?cmd=show&id=264157.1&type=NOT
This way you can get UTF8 output files from the oracle client tools without any other change I think.
Finally you can convert this file with another tool. e.g. command line tool like "iconv" or "recode"
OR
You can try to get oracle client to do this conversion for you. It should do this automatically.
but you would need to setup both OS locale and NLS_LANG to your Japanese character set and see if it does work or not. You may feel that I'm not 100% sure here...
OR
You can try to use inbuilt CONVERT oracle function if you use an application server or other tool but not an standard client...

EUC to Shift JIS Migration

Would like to know the effort / impact and the possible pitfalls that need to be kept in mind for migrating application from EUC to shift JIS. The app is a PRO*C application. It also interfaces with Tuxedo and MQ. Any lead / help is appreciated.

(0) Would be slightly easier than migrating from Shift-JIS to EUC.
(1) Hankaku Katakana (Half Width Katakana) characters are encoded as
two-byte characters
in EUC, but are signle byte characters in Shift-JIS. Hence length
will be changed if
the original Japanese text contains Hankaku Katakanas.
(2) Shift-JIS encoding defined by JIS (X0208) and Microsoft are
slightly different.
Actually, a few (less than 10) non-Kanji characters have different
encodings in
Shift-JIS and MS Shift-JIS (or MS932). This might become a pitfall.
(3) JIS X212 (complementary Kanji characters, not widely used)
characters can be encoded in
EUC as 3 byte characters but not in Shift-JIS. (Unicode also
contains JIS X212.)
(4) Handling user defined characters (or gaiji characters) are
sometimes very difficult.
(5) "CJKV Information Processing" (Blowfish Book) by Ken Lunde,
O'Reilly will be a good
reference.

'Windows-1252', 'Shift-JIS', etc. code pages are not supported encoding names exception in Windows 8.1 Phone

Hi,
We have already released our product for WinRT desktop and tablet versions.

We are supporting 'Windows-1250', 'Windows-1251', 'Windows-1252', 'Windows-1253', 'Windows-1254', 'Shift-JIS', 'GB2312' and 'Big5' in both desktop and tablet versions which uses WinRT API's.
But in Windows 8.1 Phone version, i am getting 'ArgumentException' saying 'Windows-1252' is not a supported encoding name.
Please help me with a solution or workaround to support the above specified code pages for Encoding.

Encoding issue with Chinese and Japanese characters but not for Korean

Hi All,
I am dealing with the problem below and have tried a lot of options to correct this. Could anyone help me resolve the issue?
Some japanese text is returned to my jsp from SAP, the text looks like PTú÷»à .
When I manually set the encoding of my browser to Shift-JIS, the problem is resolved and the text is seen as １５日締当月末現金
However, I set my response.setContentType as Shift-JIS, the browser automatically selects the encoding as Shift-JIS, but my characters get displayed as ??????
I had a similar problem with Korean characters, and I used,
decodedString = new String(strToBeDecoded.getBytes("iso-8859-1"),"EUC-KR");
It worked and I did not have to use the setContentType method of servlet response. This code however does not work for either Japanese or Chinese characters.
Please let me know, if there is anyway of getting the characters right on the screen.
I am using Sun Java Application Server 8.1.
Thanks,
Priya

Get rid of legacy character encodings and just use UTF-8 all the way.

Flash appears to install on Win 7, IE 8but will not display

32 bit Windows 7
IE 8, 32 bit
FP 10.2.152.32
FP S/W installation windows indicate that FP installed (Download Manager also says so)
FP & Download Manager are both shown in Programs.
History: Few weeks ago system was severely corrupted even though had McAfee Viruscan and Webroot Spysweeper. It was indicated every time an attempt to look at a video was made wherepon the computer would shutdown a few seconds afterwards. Working w/ Dell Support they determined the system was too far corrupted to save (7000+ files corrupted!!). They suggested that it would be preferable to install W 7 to replace then current XP operating system. Had disk formatted and XP operating system re-installed but only sufficient to allow operation of email. When Windows 7 arrived fully installed along w/ new Word/Excel 2010 S/W. Retrieved backuped files successfully. Everything is operating OK except for FP. Every attempt to load (after repeated uninstalls) shows it to be "successful" but still won't allow videos to play.
Based on perusal of thread, opened register to check on "kill-bit", found no indication it was set.
What should I do next?

Hi, what a terrible experience to have to go thru! I hope you don't still have either one of those "Anti-Virus" programs on your system. If not, what Anti-Virus/Spyware program(s) do you have?
Yes it was terrible, but Dell (Solution Station, paid support) made this sickening experience bearable. Right now I have McAfee Total Protection 2011 for what it's worth (ya gotta have something) and I use Malwarebytes Anti-Malware (free version) twice a day to scan. The only thing it finds repeatedly is something in the registry defined as : HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\regfile\shell\open\command\...
So I can understand this, you now have Win7 on the computer? The backup files are from the XP that had the 7000 corrupted files?? When you reformatted XP, weren't those files lost? I guess what I need to know is how did those files get Installed onto the Win7 OS?
Here's the sequence of events: I back up periodically with a WD My Book Essentials external drive, assuring that the system is as clean as I can get it and otherwise operating normally. I don't do it continuously for fear that I could be backing up corrupted files right up to the point the disk crashes The back up that was used was about six weeks old. The 7000+ corrupted files were cleaned before reformatting but would have been lost regardless when the disk was reformatted. After it was reformatted and before installation of W7, the Dell reinstallation disk for XP was used. No backup files were loaded on this temporary XP system. When the W7 system was installed these backup files from the external drive were cleaned with Malwarebyes which found about 20 corrupted files. Since then only two have regularly appeared , they are in the registry defined as: HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\regfile\shell\open\command\def...
Also why wasn't the malware cleaned before reformatting?
As indicated above, it was cleaned but never used again since it was all lost with the reformatting. The reinstalled software came from a six week old backup which has worked well and shows none of the malware, except for the few Malwarebytes intially found.
One other thing, I revisited the "kill-bit" procedure. While I didn't find what you indicated, I did find these two entries with HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\ :
      Name                        Type                    Data
"icon w/ab in it"             REG SZ            (value not set)
"icon w/ab in it"             REG SZ            application/x-shockwave-flash
Also, I was looking at your procedure in post #26, in response to jfirko where a vs 9 of FP is installed/uninstalled followed by the current version of FP. For my situation is this a worthwile approach?
By the way, thanks for your interest in solving these problems. So many programs now use the flash player but there are so few sources to turn to when problems occur.

Embedfont = true; Japanese font is not working in Flash CC

Hi,
embedfont = true; was working in Flash CS6 (window XP, 32bit, Air SDK 15.0)
But I moved same project to new system. Then, it's not working. (Flash CC, window 7 pro, 64bit, SDK 17.0).
textfield shows nothing. But if I remove this code (embedfont = true;). Textfield shows texts applied default fonts.
Funny part is English and Korean(My language) Embedfont is working perfectly.
Only japanese font is not working.
I've tried several japanese font, but all of them were not working.
Any Idea would be appreciate.

Amy~ Yep the lasso tool was what I verified with another user. 'L' seems to be bound indefinitely to loop through different types of lasso tools and it was annoying them because they just wanted L to be the regular freehand lasso. I removed 'L' from being an option on the polygon lasso and even set it explicitly to SHIFT+L as well as set the lasso tool to a completely different keyboard combo. 'L' still cycled through lassos haha. It needs some fixes.
fertolg~ At least you have a workaround for now. I'd go nuts if I couldn't use keyboard text selection writing code, oy! You're welcome and if you're all set please mark correct so we can filter unanswered. Good luck!

HELP! My hp probook computer(win 7, 64 bit) will not communicate (wireless) with my photosmart c 6180 printer. I did have this problem about 6 months ago, and here it is again! I have uninstalled my printer driver,then reinstalled, turned off, and turned on all three , computer, printer, and router (verizon). I tried the link that uses scan doc to determine the problem, but that too cannot find my printer. Also reinstalled the WEP in my printer. Does anyone have any suggestions?

Hey there @kickbk00 , Welcome to the HP Community
I saw your post about the wireless communication issues your Photosmart C6180 is having when connecting to your computer. I understand you have tried recycling the network devices, and uninstalled and reinstalled the printer to no avail.
