Cross†Channel [FlyingShine]

July 1, 2024F95

Gunjo Academy is a facility designed to gather and isolate those students who got a high score on an adaptation exam (scoring high on this exam indicates that the student is less likely to be able to be adapted to the society) mandated by the government. After a failed summer vacation with other members of the school’s broadcasting club, Kurosu Taichi and some of the other club members return to the city, only to find that the world had completely changed.

On Cross Channel & New English Translation Released

This is the release of my monograph on Cross Channel.

A patch that optionally allows reading this translation in the game is also released.

This patch is dependent on the hacks for the Amaterasu version of the 2003 original release, and is released withOUT permission or authorization of Amaterasu translation.

This patch replaces 100% of the Amaterasu translation, text and video and graphics.

Please read the VN before the book, and the book before the script commentary.

From the readme file:

You need Python v2.7.x installed.

THIS WILL NOT WORK WITH PYTHON v3.x

You need the files:– Included

crosschannel-extract3.py

crosschannel-repack1.py

insani.py

Install Cross Channel, Amaterasu Translation – This is the version posted on F95

Patch can be found on the OP but not needed!

Use either the Videos or the No Videos release, all videos will be replaced.

Choose Ero or not during installation, the choice will be overridden.

Existing installations should work.

Nothing of the Amaterasu translation remains after patching except the base text hacks.

Unpack the archive in the installation directory.

PLEASE NOTE THAT THE PATCH FILES ARE UNARCHIVED, AND THE GRAPHICS CONTAIN MASSIVE SPOILERS.

Run _RUNME_.BAT to patch the files.

This will move away any existing savegames (they’re incompatible), several files of the Amaterasu translation (they no longer apply), and patch nearly every file in the directory.

Nothing remains of the original translation but those backup files, which can be safely deleted.

Run CC-ENG.EXE

If the game crashes soon after pressing ‘Begin’, the patch did not install correctly.

If the first scene is not of full screen text, the patch did not install correctly.

Install the Inconsolata font (it’s in the game directory) as first fix attempt.

Stuff:

It is recommended to set Text Decoration to Border, game speed to Fast, and text speed to Very Fast.

SOME SCENES WILL BE DIFFICULT TO READ IF TEXT DECORATION IS DEACTIVATED.

Please be careful as THE GAME WILL CRASH IF THE BACKLOG USED AROUND SCENES OF FULL-SCREEN TEXT.

If the text window doesn’t appear, do not use the backlog.

Do not use the backlog right afterwards either.

Save often and read carefully.

The readme also contains a complete walkthrough and a few more tips.

There are three extra scenarios included, playable after completing the main story (simply start a new game afterwards).
