Holy cow, I've visited this site a few times like a million years ago. And now I come back, make an account, and there's an Utena dating sim!? I'm late to the party, but I need this in my life!!!

I played this YEARS ago to just look at the art, I'm so happy it's been translated!
You guys ROCK.

It's almost hard to believe it's really here. And I can't get it to run ;_; The translator batch file doesn't generate the English iso files.

Ah, thanks. I didn't even think of running it directly from the command line. That did it. Thanks again for all your hard work on this.

Why I always have the perfect ending! Even when I go down well only with Miki and Utena?? xD

Well, darn. The mediafire links for the ISOs aren't working for me! When I click the links, the pages have two steps, the first one saying  "complete this step" and the second one "Authorize Download." But underneath the first step it always says "an error has occurred, please reload the page" after a few seconds, and whenever I try clicking "Authorize Download" nothing happens! Anyone know if I can fix this?

Thank you @Dallbun, I used a different browser and things went smoothly!! But I still have a problem, oops. (This is my first time emulating a game, so I knew I was bound to mess up anyway, haha.)
So, I managed to complete every step up until run translate.bat. Whenever I click translate.bat, it says:
"Translating Disc 1
'utena' is not recognized as an internal or external command, operable program or batch file.
Press ENTER to continue..."
Any idea where I messed up? (And sorry if I'm asking dumb questions!)

How do I get all this stuff to work if I'm on a Mac? I've never emulated anything more powerful than SNES, Mega Drive etc., and have no experience with 32-bit emulation.

In terms of what emulator to use, some quick Googling leads me here. I don't know anything about it first-hand, though.

As for the translation itself, I have no idea whether you can patch the .isos on a Mac. If you can't, maybe we can patch it for you and send it to you somehow.

If just running the .bat isn't working, I recommend patching your .isos from the command line ("Command Prompt" on Windows 10), according to the instructions in the "Advanced Usage" text file. I seem to remember that working for someone in a similar situation. If that doesn't work, keep asking back and we'll figure it out.

Well, I restarted my process of getting this game, and I found out where I messed up. Firstly, I wasn't actually extracting files from the .zip files! And second, I had no idea how to use SSF. But now I know, and I fixed my mistakes. I basically am all set, and have everything I need downloaded- but I don't know how to use Virtual CloneDrive! I don't know how to mount my .isos and, well, I'm confused.

And now SSF has an error when I start it up!

Quick Question: I was able to (finally) download everything and get the game running, but the whole scene where the main protagonist is talking to her parents is blacked out? Plus the character introductions black out whenever you get to the character's face...just wondering if it's an issue with the ISO or if I'm just having computer issues.

Also: is there a way to manually set which keys on my computer I want to use for the controls? This is my first time using emulators so Idk how to access all of those options, if they're even available

Which emulator are you using? The first issue you are describing sounds like an issue with the emulator configuration.

I'm using SSF, and I actually got it to work. Apparently when I first started it up I pressed a bunch of number keys and turned off certain parts of the visuals, but I was able to rectify it.

Lol, I actually just got done with my first run through of the game. I got a bad ending, Juri lost to Miki while Utena was still battling Sanjouin (aka MC died, I guess)

Hey Dallbun, that translation patch you had on Sendspace, can you throw it my way? If it's not like 274526328mb I'll just host it on EM.

I'm gonna have some 'free' 'time' coming up here, planning on spending it wisely.

Auau... I followed the set-up instructions and I can hear the opening song but the window shows no visual! What did I do wrong, and how do I fix it? The SSF tutorial says to try to set-up the BIOS but the opening of this post says I don't need one?

Also it looks like someone on a previous page had the same problem but didn't get noticed.
