I really dont have any trouble finding H game torrents , but i cant get ANY of them to work. Ive never played an H game, but ive always been interested.Ive downloaded a few(Sakura season, dicipline,target pheromone) but i cant figure out how the hell to work the files. I know i need some type of program to do it, but i have no idea how to set up the games.can someone reccomend a good game and give me a short walkthrough on how to get it to work?any help is much

What formats have You got? Daemon Tools can mount various files like iso, cue, ccd etc.

[Satch]

I have windows XP professional, daemon tools wont work on professional.The one im interested in is in MDF format, wich ive never heard of.snow sakura has a BIN and a CUE file, the BIN file being the largest.Any ideas on how to work these?Ill post more file types from different games e i unzip them.thanks-

[Satch]

oh, ones in MDF and MDS format

[DDv]

Ude Alcohol 120% or Power ISO then.

MDF is the same as other image files. You should be able to mount anything with these two programs. Power ISO can handle split image files too, but I still prefer Alcohol 120%.
I used a lot of MDF images with that.

[Satch]

I dld, alchohol 120% and everything is running smoothly(well kinda).Ive sucessfully installed 2 games, and im playing snow sakura right now.....I can only get games with a .cue file to work, but im glad that i got something to work!Thanks a bunch for yourr help! Oh ,and if anyone knows anything about mounting MDF files sucessfully, id like to know how.TYVM-

I've never had a problem running Daemon Tools under XP Pro. What version are you trying to install?

[DDv]

Alcohol should be able to mount MDFs...

[Satch]

nevermind, im getting the hang of this pretty quickly,alchohol 120% is a very good and easy program, so im not having too much more trouble now. can anyone reccomend a very very good H game though???? Snow sakura kinda sucks IMO, brave soul seems like an RPG style H game(reminds me of Zelda in a stange way.).are there any realy good ones out there with awesome story lines and a good variety of graphics???Thanks very much for your elp guys, not only can i play H games now,now i know how to run and install other types of games too!-Peace-Rye

Yume Miru Kusuri ("A Drug the Makes You Dream") is my favorite good story good characters good soundtrack good artwork... just generally a really great game imo

Kana: Little Sister, Seasons of Sakura, Figures of Happiness, and Crecendo are also great ones if your more into story and such rather then lots of random H-scenes, if your into lots of H-scenes get Bible Black which is awesome

[DDv]

Kana Little Sister is the perfect choice if You like drama, but it has very few H-scenes.

If You want a really good H-game play School Days. ;)

[Rnanaka]

Uh... Sorry to interupt but you can get winrar and just unzip it, then just double click the setup or exe file. It always works for me. :D

Sakura Strasse FTW!@!

[DDv]

Yes, if it's an iso. But if it isn't...
