VNR did not work properly for me. Chiitrans however worked great, especially since i use two monitors, i can have Chiitrans on one screen and Majikoi fullscreened on the other XD.
I managed to beat Yoshitsune's route in A5, plus the accompanying options, thanks to all my previous knowledge from the series, some degree of understanding Japanese from the dialogue and the hints provided by chiitrans allowed me to get through it without breaking much of a sweet. I originally started this just because i wanted desperately to go through Yoshitsune's route, but it went so smooth that i also started Lin's route in A4, playing through it now and loving it, I'll probably just go through both A4 and A5 like this.
