HaraKano -100% Translation Patch!

After hours and hours of innappropriate touching work, the HaraKano -100% translation patch is ready and released! If you have HaraKano installed on your pc, this translation patch is installed the same as any other: just download the patch.zip linked here and copy it into your HaraKano installation folder. This patch translates -100% of the HaraKano story into full english!

Download it here:

https://www.dropbox.com/s/c0jlltmrvh8wk11/patch.zip

If you do not have HaraKano installed, it is available from a number of places, including legal ones. Search and you may find.

I hope you enjoy reading it as much as I enjoyed writing it.

    1. Should work the same as every other patch, installation wise. You may want to try deleting everything in your savedata folder for HaraKano first (I recommend copying the folder contents somewhere else, first). Other than that, it should run as normal.

    2. it may be due to my crack, all i do is slap the ddl in which stops it asking you for a cd key

      Delete
    3. It will no longer ask for a CD key, but you might still need to have the harakano disc-image mounted in your virtual drive. Even with the demo.exe security bypass, HaraKano doesn't like to run without the .iso (or .mds) of the CD there.

    4. i found out the problem, when i extract the patch i get the patch folder and another rared file instead of an XP3. need to fin out how to change zip into XP3

      Delete
    5. Oh thank goodness you've posted; it looks like I made a mistake when putting together the patch. I put in the patch.zip into the .zip instead of teh correct .xp3 file; I'll fix it now. Thank you for posting!

      Delete
    6. If you redownload the patch, it should be the right files now.

    7. where can one get that crack? :( i can't seem to make this game to work eventhough i pasted the patch to the game folder... theres this protection system blocking me from playing q.q pls help

      Delete
    8. There is no crack. Just put get the Harakano demo .exe in the same folder as Harakano's real .exe, then run the demo .exe. to run the game.

      Don't have the demo downloaded? If you have the Harakano disc image (which you'll need to run the game anyway) you actually do; Swaneye includes the demo version of all their games on the game disc. So once again,

      Mount the Harakano disc image
      Open it from My Computer (or your OS's equivalent)
      Open the おまけデータ folder (it's the only folder on the disc)
      Open 孕ら☆カノ!!ダイジェスト版.zip (the only .zip file in that folder) Extract the contents somewhere to you hard drive
      What you extracted is the Harakano demo. Find where you extracted it, and move that Harakano.exe into Harakano's installed folder (rename it whatever you want).
      Use that .exe (and only that .exe) to run the game.
      It should bypass the security, but make sure you have the Harakano disc image mounted whenever you run it (there is no No-DVD patch).

      Delete
    9. okay so i tried re installing the game, copy the demo exe to the game folder and only used the demo exe to play it. The problem is that even by using the demo exe the protection system message still pops up... or should i overwrite the old exe with the demo exe?

      Delete
  3. Maybe I'm just remembering wrong... it's been a long time. You might need a different EDP4.dll after all. An anon recommended this-

    http://www.pregchan.com/preg/res/835.html#19992

    Download it, virus check it(?), put it into your Harakano folder and overwrite the EDP4.dll file already there, run game.

  4. wow it worked after that thanks a lot man, and ofc thanks a lot for all of your translations as well :3

  5. cant get it to work keeping getting the demo

    1. Do you have the game fully installed, and the demo.exe in the same folder as the game's installed file (also, name the demo to something other than Harakano.exe)?

  7. Uninstall everything.
    Delete everything.
    Reinstall the game.
    Put the demo into the main game folder under a different name (keep the regular .exe file as is)
    Run the demo (it should start the full game).
    Download the patch.
    Extract the contents of the patch onto your hard drive
    Move the contents (patch.xp3 and the patch folder with everything inside it) directly into the HaraKano folder, alongside harakano.exe and the demo .exe
    Delete EVERYTHING in the savedata folder.
    Run the demo .exe
    It should be translated, though noet the translation was an April Fool's joke.

    1. I can re-upload it to google docs if people really want, but again, it was a joke translation (which included what I have done so far of the real translation, but that is not much at all).

    3. Hi! Need help!
      I mounted the Harakano disk image. Opened the おまけデータ folder, and found another folder 孕ら☆カノ!!アクセサリ.
      Inside that folder is "HKAcseSetUp"
      孕ら☆カノ!!ダイジェスト版.zip is nowhere to be found. :/
      Where do I find or get it.
      Thanks! Help would be very much appreciated.

      Delete
    4. 孕ら☆カノ!!ダイジェスト版.zip should be in the おまけデータ folder alongside 孕ら☆カノ!!アクセサリ (not inside of it), if it's not there, then it's been cut from your disk image. That's not to say you're screwed, though, because you're not.

      What's inside the .zip file is the demo version of HaraKano. The same demo is available for download via various Japanese websites, though I'd recommend HolySeal: http://holyseal.net/cgi-bin/mlistview.cgi?prdcode=8014

      Go to that website, and see if any of the links for the 354 mb file still work. That's the .zip you're looking for, and once downloaded, you can use it just like you would the .zip on the original HaraKano disc.

      If none of those links work, you can try another of the eight demo download sites that Swan has listed here: http://www.swaneye.com/swaneye/harakano/dl.html

      The link to bring you to the download page will be the link on the right, the one that says 'ダウンロード' and you can navigate each download site much the same as the Holy Seal site.

      Delete
    5. Cool story: the HKAcceSetUp application is just a bonus program Swan made that will install a couple of .wav audio files on your computer that you can use to replace Operating System sounds. It's just HaraKano characters voicing different things, like Marina greeting you when you log on and etc

      Delete
    6. Thanks for the quick response Loe!
      So I downloaded the demo and put it into the same folder as where Harakano is installed. Disk is mounted, and the demo's .exe renamed to Lol.exe.
      The key requirement still pops up when starting the game, even when launching the game with the demo.exe file.
      I assume I will be needing a different EDP4.ddl file like you had told John in an earlier comment.
      The one link you provided him however doesn't seem to take me to the right place and isn't working.

      Delete
    7. Yeah, the EPD4.ddl is necessary, though I don't know where you can find it particularly easily. It should be available somewhere, but I cannot officially provide it here. :C

      Delete
    8. I guess I'm gonna have to search for one then lol but thanks for the help other wise!
      Always supporting your work!
      Just curious, everything done is by you alone right? That's quite the work load.

      Delete
    9. I get the scripts and the initial patches which make potential translations work from other users, but all the actual translation and etc. is done by me alone. One of the reasons why it all takes so long, and why I used to not bother much with editing or revising; I figured it'd take more time than people really cared about, considering the content material in question.

      Delete
  10. Just wondering if the patch is still there, and if so re-upload please and thanks

    1. The fake patch? It's available inside the real patch. I included a HaraKano Side Notes .txt files that explains it, alongside other neat stuff from HaraKano and its translation. This is from that text file:

      "It is actually still available to play though, by renamining the "scenario1 - April Fools 2014.ks" file to "scenario1.ks" in the Patch folder, after the English patch is downloaded and the game runs. Those that do this, be sure to rename the original scenario1.ks file before you do this, though, or else you will need to redo the English Patch to play the real game."

      So if you have the real patch downloaded, just do that to see my hastily done fake route story.

  11. I keep having problems running the game for some reason concerning something to do with the saved data.

    1. The game is probably detecting the difference between the script files. The joke patch uses different scripts than the real patch, and your save files with the real patch are probably conflicting with the joke patch, which makes the game not launch properly.

      Solution:

      When you use the joke patch (after you rename the appropriate files in the patch folder), move the Harakano savedata folder into a different directory or rename it, then launch the game. The game will make a new savedata folder automatically, which will be your save folder for the joke patch. Read the "story" and enjoy.

      When you want to go back to the real patch, move (or rename) the savedata folder for the joke patch, and then put the original savedata folder back in the Harakano folder. Rename the right files in the patch folder (so the real scenario1 file is named scenario1.ks again), and then relaunch the game. It should work properly, and your old save files should be intact.

      Delete
    2. This is only for using the joke patch and the real patch, though. If you're having trouble just using the real patch, you have a different problem entirely.

After you do that, when you run Harakano, it will create a new savedata folder specifically for the fake translation, which will contain all your save data for the April Fool's patch. Whenever you want to go back to the real translation, rename that new savedata folder to something else and change the name of the old savedata folder back to savedata, then rename the scenario1.ks files back to their original names and relaunch the game.

      If you don't do this, you might have to delete the savedata folder whenever you want to run either version of the script (real or fake), and you'll lose all your progress with the CGs, the animations, your quick load data, your saves, etc. :C

    2. Sorry, I mean the real patch for 100% translatioon.

      Delete
    3. There is no %100 translation patch at this time. I've been working on it for over a year now, and have 100% of Marina's route, 100% of Ayana's route, and about 30% of Ren's route translated, and you can download the most recent version of that from the Projects page on this blog, or any of the more recent posts about HaraKano updates.

      This (negative) %100 update was released for April Fool's in 2014.

  14. Hello Sir. Just need confirmation if u would.
    So i need to mount 4.5gb harakano.mdf after i installed 4.25gb(game data) for the game? It takes too much space isnt it or im doing it wrong.
    Is there a way i can play w/ot mount anything after i install+copy edp4.dll+patch?

    ReplyDelete
    Replies
    1. I had thought that the edp4.dll patch made it so you didn't need to mount anything to run the game?

      Alternatively, if you have harakano.mdf, you should also have Harakano.mds (a much smaller file). If you do, after you install Harakano with the .mdf file, I think you can just mount the .mds file and Harakano.exe will think that the .mds file is the proper disc, so you shouldn't need the .mdf anymore to launch the game.

      Not sure, though. Good luck.

  15. how do i put the patch in the game that i legitimately bought. i am trying and only getting it in japanese

    1. Install the game that you legitimately bought.
      Download the real patch (available at http://www.mediafire.com/download/muy1s6yvv29j00l/patch.zip)
      Open the patch.zip
      Extract all the contents of the .zip to your computer
      Move all the files you extracted directly into the folder where Harakano is installed (the one with the HaraKano.exe)
      Start the game.

      The buttons will be in Japanese, but the actual game text will be in English (you can use this imgur album as a guide for navigating the game: http://imgur.com/a/FBzuU). So far only 3 routes are translated (Marina's, Ayana's, and Ren's). More are in the works.

      Delete
    2. Ah got it. hope to get the rest and am willing to pay aswell for the translation of the rest and for HaraChuChu (on that. how many routes are there for HaraChuhu

      Delete
    3. Six routes in Harachuchu (excluding the Harem route), but I was planning on doing three of them for free after I catch up on all the other projects.

      Delete
    4. cool so about $600 or maybe $800 including harem route

      Delete
    5. I figured the harem route is so short, I'd also do it for free, once every other route got translated

    1. The negative 100 percent patch is included in the real patch, available from mediafire; you just have to rename two files.

      Before you start Harakano (but after you have the patch installed), go into the patch folder and rename 'scenario1.ks' to any other name.

      Once that's done, rename 'scenario1 - April Fools 2014.ks' to 'scenario1.ks'.

      Launch the game, and it should now play the joke that I threw together in a day instead of the actual game.

      To get the real game back, close Harakano, revert the files to their original names, and relaunch.

      You MIGHT want to also rename/move the savedata folder to something/somewhere else before starting the April Fool's joke route. If you do, you'll protect your savedata from the real game from conflicting with the joke route, and also let you save and revisit scenes from the joke route (the game will auto-create a new savedata folder, same as the old one). To get your savedata for the real game back, simply rename the joke route's savedata folder into something else and revert the original savedata folder (that you renamed or moved) back to the name 'savedata'/ back to its original location.

      For better(?) information on all this, check out the HaraKano Side Notes.txt file in the English patch's patch folder - I included directions about this somewhere in there.
