Hakuouki: Demon of the Fleeting Blossom (PSP) on Emulator

74 comments
This tutorial would be about playing a PSP platform copy of Hakuou Shinsengumi Kitan (which has been officially licensed by Aksys Games) on PC. I bought the game and played it on my PSP but nothing beats playing otome games in PC for me. Of course, one of my main reasons why I did this was to see a bigger Saito Hajime and Hijikata Toshizou on screen. I don't want to restrain myself on the small screen of PSP. . (Btw, I don't really like Okita Souji 'cuz he's such a yandere. That's just psychotic.)

We're all upset that Kazuki Yone (artist/goddess behind the Shinsengumi bishies) is not with Idea Factory (IF) anymore. For those who don't know the story, a long time ago, it seems like (we got nothing but rumors and it's the most reliable one I got. Anyone got a more realistic background, please share it with me, ne?)Yone asked for a pay raise since she's not an amateur artist. Heck, she raised two games (Hakuouki and Hiiro no Kakera) into anime world. Idea Factory is like, "No, gtfo.". As a result, we got bombarded with fake copies of her artwork. As if we, her loyal fans, would not notice. IF thinks that they can trick fans with making that "anonymous" artist do that copy-cat work. It's been so long since that and even now, they can't stop milking this series. IF can't be more shameful than that.

*One scenario in the world wide net worth ranting about*
Kazuki Yone: I drew something new and posted it in my blog! Please support Hakuouki!
Idea Factory: STFU. You're no longer part of this company. We're suing you for drawing characters under copyright issues and for posting it without our permission.

Total bs. As if she needs permission to draw what she designed and to post it on her blog. It's not like she's selling anything so why the paranoia, IF?  
Well, it happened a long time ago and she's working on a new game now so rant's over. Here's the tutorial. Click the image for a bigger view. Just a tip: right click on the image + view link in another tab = undisturbed tutorial-viewing.

LET'S START WITH DOWNLOADING THE NEEDED FILES: 
●  Get your copy of PSP Emulator. JPCSP is the most famous and sanest emulator out there. (Not that I can speak since I don't really know psp emulators) Here's the web link and just click the version that's appropriate for your computer. Usually, you get the latest one. Here:

http://buildbot.orphis.net/jpcsp/

●  If you want a fully voiced game, here's the voice plugin:

mono_ATRAC3PLUS_Autoplay_assistant_tool v1.9.28


●  You need Sound Forge and Sonic Stage. Well, that's not for free. Actually, nothing in this world is really free. There are cracks and everything and it's easy to Google so you can do that yourself. 

●  Naturally, the most important file: the game itself. Due to complaints about piracy, I removed the link.  Whatever.   


PROCEEDING TO THE INSTALLATION AND THAT TROUBLESOME STUFF...

Sound Forge:
My copy is this one: Sony Sound Forge Pro v10.0c491_Keygen DI - by saoman

●  Install Sound Forge first. You don't have to do any "installing" stuff with JPCSP but it's more troublesome with the configuration. 


Win 7 ver tutorial. Somebody requested for an updated OS. 
What? I really hate the recent OS. They make my life complicated.


And the biggest lie ever...



●  Don't run it yet. Run Keygen > select Sound Forge 10 series > Patch. Be sure to copy the serial and activation code. 
I hate that annoying bgm. You wait and hear. -__-


●  Run Sound Forge 10 bugfix.reg


This should appear. That's it.

●  Run Sound Forge > enter the serial > choose register from another computer > save the license anywhere and you can also delete it after > enter the activation code.


Sonic Stage:
●  Just install this since you need it for your game to have sounds in jpcsp. There should be no problems here.


Well, I did mention that I don't really like Okita Souji but he's my wallpaper. 
What can I do? He's hot. (>w<)b~
 
JPCSP (PSP Emulator):

●  After extracting the file, you should get a folder with a name like jpcsp-windows... Inside that folder is another folder named umdimages. Copy the ISO file of Hakuouki. 





Yes, 1.11 GB. Prepare for that. 

●  Go back to the original folder. You should see a Windows Batch File like start-windows-x86. At least that's what mine says. Double-click that and a new window should appear. 



And another window which should serve as your "PSP".

Example of a "You're screwed" moments. If this appeared, there's something wrong and 
I can never tell you what that is. I have limited jpcsp knowledge. 


●  Before you can play, we still have to set the configuration settings. Go to Options > Configuration or just click F12. This is a really complicated part since the settings will differ for everybody since we all have different computers. Despite the game not having high spec demands, jpcsp does. I screenshot my computer specs and the setting I have so you can confirm it for yourself. You have to experiment and I won't be able to answer problems regarding this thing since I don't know much
Soooo sorry for my low-tech pc.











●  Go to File > Load UMD > Click Hakuouki > Run. The game should run fine. The video may lag a bit  (though mine didn't) but don't worry since that's an accepted fact. 









Game should work just fine with sound effects and bgm but no voices. If you're fine with that, then it's okay not to do the voice tool. 


mono_ATRAC3PLUS_Autoplay_assistant_tool v1.9.28: 

If you want to hear the seiyuus' hot voices...

●  Extract the file. You should see an application file there. Seen it? Okay, good. 



●  Open this file. Click Start and it should turn into Virtual Desktop. Just minimize that while playing Hakuouki.


OKAY, WE'RE DONE! 
It's a tall order but it's worth it. Well, if you hate the hassle, just buy the game or download the ISO file and put it in your psp. For people like me who don't mind a little work for the sake of slightly bigger screen, this is recommended.

  1. I cant get the voice plugin to download. It keeps asking me to pay to make an account. D:

    1. Don't click the Priority Download. That's for Premium users. Of course, they would ask you to pay. Click the "Download" beside the "Share with friends" and "Add to my account" buttons. After that, click the "Free Download" button and there will be a 20 seconds waiting time before you can download the file.

  2. Hi Hakuouki worked perfectly for me several months back and I completed the whole game :) However, today I went back to it, and the game plays perfectly, but the voices don't work anymore :o I (stupidly) put in another psp game iso in the umd folder. I deleted it, but now I can't hear voices on hakuouki!

    Every time I click launch sony sound forge, it says, "Warning an error occurred while opening one or more files. The item was not found." I click more details, and then it says, "The file C:\Users\MYUSER\Desktop\Hakuoki\jpcsp-windows-x86\tmp\ULUS10577\Atrac\Atrac-00017558-09C20AC8.oma.AddHeader could not be opened."

    Then I click start on the mono thing, and then it says, Please open [JPCSP Main Dir]/tmp/gameID/Atrac/

    Please help me, I don't know what to do! :(

  7. Hi,
    I am so glad and thankful for this post! I am dying to play this game and I have been searching for it for months.
    Just after I got the first 2 files. I have problem with finding Sound Forge and Sonic Stage. Can you please kindly advise and help?

    It is so close and yet so far!! T.T

    Thank you so much! Q.Q

    1. In situations like this, Google is your best friend. If you're broke and don't have the money to buy an official copy for Sonic Stage, look for it with a crack included. I already placed the name of the copy I used for Sound Forge. Copy that name and Google it again.
      C'mon, please don't be lazy and only ask me things that you think the answer won't be found easily.

  8. I've tried to run the game, but I get the message
    "This game has been encrypted by the software publisher...yada yeada."

    1. Decrypt your copy of game. JPCSP is only an emulator and does not have a custom firmware to fix things for you. Find a psp game decrypter.

  9. so while i'm doing the sound forge step then i press keygen, and i change the product name as sound forge 10.0 series and when i try patching it says an error has occurred while patching the file(s)! please help i'm dying to play ;____;

    1. No. I meant the computer itself. Go to Control Panel > regional and Language settings ( or something similar) and change the settings to Japan's. You can leave the keyboard settings. This is for Windows users only though. If you're using Apple, use AppLocale.

  14. Hello! Which version of Sonic Stage are you using? My computer (with Win 7 and all) can't help the program to connect to its database and it accuses my internet connection of being too weak. It's perfectly fine and strong tough. I googled some other experiences and found out it's quite common for Sonic Stage not to work on a computer with Win 7, so I wanted to ask if it is just me with this kind of a problem. :/

    ReplyDelete
    Replies
    1. I used version 4.3. As far as I know, it should work with Win 7. Unless your antivirus deletes some of its files because it was classified as virus.

    1. Re-download the Mono Atrac. You can't lose that since that's practically the most important part.

  21. Hi there,
    I think I've gotten everything working except for those voices >_<
    I always get this same error with the Mono_ATRAC3PLUS. First I launch the Sony Sound Forge Pro 10 with the mono tool, and that seems to come up fine (it's just an empty gray window, right?). But the problem is when I click START in the mono tool, I get an error saying "JPSCP is not running,the tool stops working" even though the program is clearly running fine. I'd really like to get the voices working. Do you know how to fix this?

    1. Hi~
      Run JPCSP and make sure that the game is running properly. Look at your FPS and see if it runs along just fine. If you get very low FPS, then JPCSP is too high for your computer.

  22. Hello, do you know if the voice tool only works with Sound Forge 10.0, or will it work with something like Sound Forge Pro 10.0.507?

  23. i really thank you for your replies, but i couldn't make it work, the folder does not appear,even if i re-donwloaded the mono atrac. i really dont know what else to do..

    1. But of course, the female protagonist doesn't have a voice. It's an otome game after all.

  27. Ah.. I didn't know that.

    I have only played one otome game to this day, it was this game called Second Reproduction. The female lead and some characters have voice there, though it wasn't full-voiced.
