FIX94

in case anyone wonders, that is exactly what it is and all you have to do to reset the button configuration is to delete the config.dat from the game folder, after that you can play the game normally.

Not sure about the random death, however the glitchy text is in fact a bug with the english translation, made this account just to explain how to fix it, spent about 2 hours today just diving into the games code to see what was going on, turns out the location for the bgm track title of yuki and mai were read from the wrong location, so it showed garbage text instead. So, to fix this issue, open up the .hdi in your favorite hex editor (or get HxD if you dont have one, its free) and search for the following hex-value: BA C4 50 C7 once you found it in the file, replace it with: BA C4 EC 1D that will fix the text of yuki's bgm. For mai's bgm, simply search for the hex-value: BA C4 71 C7 and replace it with: BA C4 0A 1E After that, just save the .hdi and now there should be no more glitching text once the stage 4 boss fight transitions over into the 2nd phase. I hope somebody that searches for this bug will find this information useful someday. edit: well wow, actually call me stupid for even spending 2 hours on this, I just now realized whoever made these files originally created a corrupted hard drive image! In the original english patch, there IS data that responds to those "garbage" locations! It basically is the same data I redirected the game to with the hex-values above, not sure why those 2 names in particular are at the end of the executable again. The main game has no other parts corrupted to it, but I think the other files may do... So really, how did I not consider that before spending that time on it... And that folks is why you should never trust pre-patched files, who knows what other bugs this file may hold with that discovery, really you should make a installation yourself using the provided floppy drive images and then apply the english patch to it, probably will be less buggy that way, who knows what other issues are hiding in this .hdi that we did not even realize yet...
