Visual Novels

[chuckiechieh]

any one knows how the visual novel works.

I have played every ONscripter visual novel available in english EXCEPT gin'iro (because I can't find it for sale anywhere). So yes, I do know how they work. Now, what do you want to know about them? Your initial question didn't say so i'm just left guessing..... If you want to run them on your gp2x just download them from THE GP2X ARCHIVE (click on visual novels) and put them on your SD card. You can put any of the visual novels anywhere on the card, but you can't have more than one in the same folder (because they have files that are named the same thing).

yea i wanted to kno how to play/read/ those visual novels, on my gp2x i went to the games menu and it was there, so i ran it but nothin happened am i misssin a file or somethin?

 

[deadlychicken22]

all of the files should be included in the download. Make sure you keep all of the files in the same folder.

 

[chuckiechieh]

all the files are in the same folder but it's still just a blank screen

 

[deadlychicken22]

which one are you trying? Please explain this blank screen.... is it just black? Does it return to the main menu? Do you get anything to show up? Have you tried waiting a little bit (the visual novel may be loading).

EDIT: Forgot to mention, i think you need to install NK's SDL libraries if you haven't done so already. That would explain the black screen.

 

[chuckiechieh]

the visual novel is Narcissu (gp2x enhanced), and i get a black screen, and the sdl library just flashes black then return to the main menu but no effect

 

[deadlychicken22]

When you run the SDL libs file the screen should turn black for a couple seconds and then return to the menu, so it sounds like you did it correctly. How long have you waited after getting the black screen? I see a black screen for a couple of seconds while it's loading. Also, just to check if you have all of the files, about how big is all of the narcissu files you have?

ive waited at least 5 min when i run the onscripter, but nothin. as for the sdl files, shouldnt it show on the nand mem that it is installed on the gp2x?
and narcissu file ive got 119MB on my sd card, thats two .DAT (kidoku and nscript) files, onscripter4kr.gpe file, arc.nsa file and a couple of readme text files. i'll try lettin it load for maybe 10 to 20 min and see if it plays.

i have exactly the same problem

 

[deadlychicken22]

hmmmm..... well, i'm not sure whats going wrong.... it worked for me perfectly without any file manipulation at all. I will try to get back to you on this

 

[chuckiechieh]

i recently found out that it the prob might be because of the skin i have installed on my gp2x, and i tried to remove the skin but it wouldnt move. i also tried reinstalling the defult skin but no dice.

 

[vossy]

i have the standard skin. ill try removing it and installing it again in a minute.

​

This may be because you ran a new patch that was released that locked the NAND memory (so that you can only read it, you can't write to it). The patch was released with a uninstaller in case something like this happened, get the patch (which i'm assuming includes the uninstaller) HERE.

 

[vossy]

i tried removing it and starting again but no luck.oh well, no narcissu for me

 

[deadlychicken22]

don't give up on it forever! Narcissu is great, you don't want to miss it. Just take a break and get yourself used to other programs, then come back to ONscripter (and narcissu) once you are comfortable with the gp2x and i'm sure you'll get it working fine.
