Haha Sorry for the long message. ^^"
Yeah, I also tried to mount the game and tried to run it, but it didn't work either.
Hmm ... x.x; I don't want to attribute it to Windows 8, just yet. Or even the latest Windows update that borks older games...
Eh, I'll blast it all out anyway... I don't know if you have the Windows 8.1 patch on your Windows 8, but it's been out for a while so I think I can safely assume you have it.
----
However, there was a recent Windows Update that actually killed games running SecurROM and SafeDisc for anti-piracy checks by disabling the driver that does the checks. Basically, older games that check to make sure the CD is in the drive before starting. I don't know if the SilverChaos fandisk falls into this area or not, so to make sure, if you have Togainu no Chi, try running that. If you get an error in Japanese that starts with the text string: "Administrator", then you have this Windows Update.
You can re-enable the driver by opening up a CMD prompt, using Administrator mode, and type in:
Then try running TnC. If you don't have that "Administrator" error, then try running Silver Chaos Fanbox again to see if that works.sc start secdrv
----
Maybe try a different mounting program? I don't know what you're running, but sometimes switching programs works. I used to use Virtual Clone Drive religiously, but then I couldn't get TnC to work, so I switched to Daemon Tools Lite and it just miraculously started working. Sometimes I still have to switch around to get a game to work. Try switching?
----
Lastly, would you mind taking a screenshot of the folder you installed the Fanbox to? ^^ I want to check the filesizes and files in the folder... Maybe we can shed some light. x.x;;;
@Kojichan
So I tried to run the Togainu no Chi game and I did get that "Administrator" error. I tried run the cmd, but I'm not sure how I should enter it, so I pretty much just copy and paste the way you told me to enter it in the cmd then press enter but it said Start Service Fail 1058.
Can you tell me how I should enter the letters in the cmd?
Idk if I should added any under score or such to get it to work correctly.

Sorry about that, I guess the one command wasn't enough.
And yes, just copy and pasting works fine. ^^ They should be exactly what is here, no underscores. So, do this instead:
(Open a CMD window in Administration mode)
(hit enter, thenCode:sc config secdrv start=auto
And for safety measure, restart your computer and try again.Code:sc start secdrv
@Kojichan
I tried the code you gave me, and it says that it was a success. I restarted my laptop then I tried to run the TNC gave, it showed the game banner but then a pop up showed up something bout a game disc error then it has Japanese words after that, I already have the game ISO mounted so Idk why it showed that error. I then tried to run the Silver Chaos Fantasia game, but it still had the mainsystem.exe error.
Erm, I seemed to have missed what you said you use for an ISO mounting program. ^^;;; What do you use, again?
If Togainu no Chi is saying the game disc isn't "inserted" when it's clearly mounted on your computer, then maybe your mounting program won't work with these games? Have you tried other mounting programs?
There's Daemon Tools Lite, and Virtual Clone Drive. I use one or the either, depending on which game complains. Give the other one a try!
@Kojichan
I use Daemon Tools Lite, but it was the latest version of it though. I read through some posts and it says to install the older version of Daemon, so I uninstalled the latest version and re installed the older version (4.40.2 I think).
After doing so, I was able to get the TNC game to run perfectly, but the Silver Chaos Fantasia still didn't work though.
Gosh... x.x; What a stubborn game...
At least Togainu no Chi works for you now... Haha! Erm, yeah. Sorry....
You mind taking a screenshot of the folder where you installed SCFB to? The PACK folder more specifically. Like these:

I know you mentioned you tried a lot of things mentioned around the forum, but was what this person suggested for Windows 8 also on the list of things you've tried?
( http://aarinfantasy.com/forum/f49/t1...ml#post4266581 )
@Kojichan
Here's the screen shot.
I also tried the method of replacing the Grphic file from the Pack folder but that didn't work either. I also added the screenshot for that method too.
Attachment 169587Attachment 169588Attachment 169590
Hmm, those screenshots aren't working.
And, oh poopie... You tried copying the graphic.cmp file from the mounted ISO and pasted it into the folder on your computer, and it still didn't work?
x_x;; Argh, I'm really not sure. I'm really sorry....
