Title: PCB WAV music setting won't work.
Post by: Major Havoc on June 04, 2011, 11:36:26 PM: For some reason, in Perfect Cherry Blossom, the option to set the background music from MIDI to WAV won't work.
Whenever I try to change the setting to WAV the game goes silent for about 10 seconds and locks up, and I have
no idea what to do. All I really want to know is if there is any files I'm Missing, or if it's anything I have to download.

As an additional detail, I have Windows 7.

Is there anything else like DirectX that could help? Or is there anything else I should try?

Post by: Major Havoc on June 07, 2011, 02:41:42 AM: Sorry to say it but, running the game in compatibility mode didn't work.
And it was a little confusing, but as far as i can tell, the sound card drivers are up to date.

Also, I'm sorry this is so much trouble.

Post by: Major Havoc on June 07, 2011, 10:26:08 PM: I'll try reinstalling it but, I have a dumb question first, how do I uninstall the game? everything's in Japanese, and well, I can't read it.

After you do that click find target. When the Folder opens, go to the folder named BGM, if there is nothing in there, then try to reinstall the game in a compatibility mode and as Administrator and see what happens.

And in the same directory you find the uninstaller.

That is only in newer games, older ones (Like PCB) used a BGM Folder

Yes. =/

Anyway, just delete the game folder to uninstall, and then reinstall the game. Make sure you run in the installation in compatibility mode and as administrator.

Post by: Major Havoc on June 10, 2011, 12:50:31 AM: I did like you said and deleted the game folder and reinstalled the game, and when I was going to set compatibility mode, I noticed that the program was already set to run in compatibility mode, and couldn't be changed to not run in that mode. I also ran as the administrator and when the game was installing, a message popped up that said: "The program cannot find the file specified" and then a file directory made up of a jumble of characters. I checked and the game had installed, but, nothing changed and the game still won't play the .wav files. Also, I ran the newly installed game in compatibility mode, and the game still plays,
but nothings changed.

Post by: Momiji on June 10, 2011, 12:53:29 AM: Uhmm.... can you possibly get a screenshot of the error? Also, are you installing with the locale set to Japanese?

Thanks for helping so much.

And I haven't been installing with the locale on Japanese, but I'll try it.
Title: Re: PCB WAV music setting won't work.
Post by: Major Havoc on June 10, 2011, 02:36:16 AM: Actually that worked, which is kind of surprising considering that I did run in Japanese locale before and nothing good happened, so I don't know what was different this time.

But anyway, THANKS! I probably never would have figured that out on my own, so I wanted to thank you.
