Issues Running Hadaka Shitsuji (Naked Bulter)

Back in January I decided to download Naked Butler and I followed the instructions to a T, and I was having some issues running the game but I eventually got it to work. Was so happy and enjoying my game when one day it just doesn't want to run any more. Now I've successfully downloaded Dramatical Murder, Re:Connect, Lamento, and Togainu no Chi without any issues. So uninstalled it and deleted all of the files related to it and thought that I'll just try another day. Well I though today would be that day but sadly it is still not working and I get an error message that pops up reading 'Loader Error 00401707 WrongExacutable.' Any help as to what I might be doing wrong or something that I need to do because I really want to play this game.

Just to start, please include a screenshot of the installation folder of Hakada Shitsuji, as well as the screenshot of particular error.

Also add the ff details: Operating system, whether system locale is at JP, where you download the installer and if you've used a guide to install it what particular guide you have followed.

Sorry for the late reply, life has been busy but here are the screenshots.

I'm using Windows 10 and my system location is set to Japan as well. I downloaded it from one of the links in the game download thread here on aarinfantasy, but I cannot remember which guide that I followed since it's been a while.

Hmm...

Your "Hadaka.exe" (Not the hadaka_en nor the icon file) is the wrong size. It should be 1MB (1,000 KB) in size, and yours is about 100kb short.

I noticed it's also been changed recently... Did you maybe overwrite the file?

Load up the ISO for Hadaka Shitsuji, Explore/open the ISO and go into the folder called "Setupdata". copy the "hadaka.exe" file from there, and paste it into the folder where you installed (downloaded) the game.

Overwrite the existing one in the folder, then try running the game again.


If that doesn't work, can you take a screenshot of the "Data" folder where you installed (downloaded) the game? ^^ Thanks!

That's weird because I re-extracted the .rar file for the game and it still came up short in the file size. What exactly is the ISO?

Erm? Isn't the ISO and ISO? o.o;;

My hadaka.iso is 1,543,596 KB. Admittedly, I downloaded it elsewhere.


Let's try something else... What are you using to mount your ISO? Daemon Tools? Virtual Clone Drive? Windows Image thingy?

It's possible that the ISO isn't playing nice with your mounting program, so try a different one. (I've had to do that on a few occasions. Just recently Angel's Feather was giving me grief.)

I've been using Daemon Tools for forever.

Also, I'm not sure if this helps or not but I got the 7 separate .rar files from the forum on here the one from 4shared since it was the only one that "worked". That's when I put them all together and extracted the game file from there. The screenshot that I previously posted is what it looks like when I'm not extracting it. So there is probably a problem with the original files, or something along those lines.

Daemon Tools, okay! ^^

I end up needing to use a combination of that and VirtualClone Drive. Some games work with one, and some only work with the other.

Just in case you're interested for other stuff. Sucks that you sometimes need both, but it's handy when troubleshooting strange ISO issues.



----
Also... This is going to sound really dumb, but try running the game directly off the ISO.

Mount it, then explore the ISO. Goto the folder called "setupdata", and try running the EXE in there.

Does it even start up at all?

The folder "Setupdata" should only have 3 files and one folder. (hadaka.env, hadaka.exe, hadaka.ico, and the folder is called "data"). Actually, how big is the EXE on the ISO, anyways? o.o Mine's also 1,000 KB. Maybe the EXE is borked?



And, you used the 4Shared links. Okay, instead of redownloading the whole thing, how about trying my version of the EXE?

https://www.dropbox.com/s/7ehajynxbf...adaka.rar?dl=0

It's a Rar, so extract it to your folder. It should also be 1,000kb. Give that a go. o.o

I don't know if I am being a complete idiot and skipping steps to installing this stupid game or something because it's still not working. And it's not mounting *shrugs*, and I really want to play this stupid game and laugh at how ridiculous everything is.

It finally works!!! :dance:

I was able to figure out stuff because apparently I didn't even have an ISO file to begin with so there is the root of the problem. However, now I'm having an issue of saving the game. XD So one problem leads to another. Here are the screenshots of the program files.

Also, this font is impossible to read but the _en version of the game has better font but I've heard things about it not being able to run the game after a certain point of time. So I'm a little worried about my progress being disturbed if I play the game with the font that doesn't destroy my eyes and cause me to have a migraine.

Hey look my game crashed...again.

Attachment 171812

This is the reason why I stopped playing the game a while ago. *sigh* I don't know why I keep having so many problems with this game it makes no sense.

Whoa. @_@

Lots of posts!

OK, first things first... Glad you got the ISO to work!

1) You won't be able to save BECAUSE you used the default location to install the game. ^^ You need to select a different folder.

Like, for example, C:\Games\裸執事\ (If it doesn't exist, create it). Windows has tough control over files in the C:\Program Files (x86)\ to try and prevent viruses and malware from destroying stuff, so whenever you're installing visual novels, it's generally a good idea NOT to choose the default location. Especially if you want to patch the game into English.


2) Just running "hadaka.exe" won't work, as you can tell, because of the font spacing issue. That's what "hadaka_en.exe" was created for. Running the "EN" version does NOT increase the chances of the game crashing; that's the game's own fault.

3) The crashing is due to a memory error from the original "hadaka.exe", not the EN. If you have the game running too long, this happens. It's generally a good idea to save often, make plenty of saves, and try not to save while you're making a selection on where to go.


Lastly, you installed the English text patch, but have you also installed the English UI patch? ^^

Thank you for all of the help, I think that I will just save a lot then. Also, why does the game keep crashing that makes no sense why it would do that. It's also going to be really really really annoying to have to deal with.

Also, I do not think that I installed the English UI patch. :?

Yeah, it's actually a memory leak that is the issue. When the game runs for too long, it ends up using too much memory, forgets where things are, and then explodes. It's inevitable, but it was just how the original game worked.


And there is an English UI patch that imbatman worked on. ^^

It includes Menus, Options, and some CG Scenes (I don't think all of the ending names were ever done, though. No biggie).

http://aarinfantasy.com/forum/f16/t1...glish-gui.html

Look for the text that says: "Download v0.5 from GitHub" and click on the word "Github".

Save the EXE in the same folder as Hadaka Shitsuji, then run it. It patches the existing game's Japanese graphics into English, also allowing you to save backups just in case. But it actually is fine.

Thank you for the patch :oops:

So I'm able to run the game, the font is fine, and I can "save".
What I mean is that when I click on hadaka_en that was part of the patch+game that I got I can save the game. However, it does not save my CGs permanently. Here is what the folder looks like and it's located just in my downloads.

However, if I click on the hadaka_en that's been place into my program files it runs, looks pretty, but it does not keep the safe files. Here is the screenshot for that one.

This game has too many glitches T_T I guess because it's not the most popular games out there and that's why the game folder is the way it is. I'm going to try copying the 'Saved Data' folder that was part of the downloaded game and see what happens because that's the only thing that I can think of doing right now. Unless there is something else that I need to download. :-s

- - - Updated - - -

Well.........it kind of did something.......I can access my save files from the downloads version but I still cannot save to the program files one.

I'm happy that I can play the game but I want access to all of the extras/CGs when ever instead of having to go back and play through the game again and again.

IT FINALLY WORKS!!!!! I found a only post about CG issues and I am running the game with administrator and it's finally working.

:wahaha::wahaha::wahaha::wahaha::wahaha:

Yup. ^^ That's one way.

The other is to not install the game in the default location, but use an alternate install folder. Using an alternate install folder (Somewhere NOT inside C:\Program Files (x86)\ ) is generally the better option, as you can English patch and save games without the Administrator hassle. Sometimes the "Run as Administrator" doesn't always work.

Anywho, have fun!

I have the same files with the same sizes with the images above but it still displays the error 666-System something...
Attachment 173444
I have restarted my PC, make sure it is not installed on the default directory, have installed the original directX file included in the ISO and even checked my registry but still the same error message (the message reads: Failed to load the setting file.)

I really wanted to play this game.

Hello rhonluiz1000! ^_^

This game is super-duper picky about running. The 666 error you're seeing says that the game can't read the "Settings File".

First things first, an option to try is to Right-Click on hadaka.exe (not hadaka_en.exe, and hot hadaka.ico) and select "Properties". In the "Compatibility" tab, select "Run this program as an administrator", then hit "Apply" and then "OK."

Repeat this process for hadaka_en.exe.

Now, try deleting the "SaveData" folder and running the game again.

If that doesn't work, could you take a screenshot of your "Data" folder? Thanks! ^^

I can't save for some reason. Pressing the Q.save buttom does nothing, I can't save in the menu... Has anyone else had this problem?

I only had this problem when the game was installed into the default location at C:\Program Files (x86)\ . When I installed the game somewhere else, like in C:\Games\ it saved. ^^

The game makes saves in the same folder where it was installed. You could try the above, or maybe try running it as an Administrator?
