Japanese locale

Many Japanese VNs show garbled text, or don't start at all, on a Windows that isn't set to Japanese. Play can start them through a locale tool for you.

The app supports the two common tools. Install the one you prefer first; the app doesn't include them.

Tool	Its program	How the game is started
Locale Emulator	`LEProc.exe`	With the game's own LE profile if you made one, else LE's default (Japanese).
NTLEA	`ntleas.exe`	With the Japanese locale and Shift-JIS code page.

Set it up

In Settings → General → Japanese locale, use Browse… to point to LEProc.exe or ntleas.exe. (If you skip this, the app asks for it the first time it's needed.)
In the Library, open the VN's page and set Launch with to Locale Emulator or NTLEA.
From now on, ▶ Play starts it through that tool, from the Library card or the VN's page.

A VN's page in the Library, with the Launch with choice — Launch with is under the status and rating.

This only changes how Play starts the game. If you launch it from a desktop shortcut or Steam, it starts the way it always did.
