was able to somehow get it working as someone who can't read Japanese, thanks for all your effort in TL!
Here is my steps if it helps anyone who else doesn't speak Japanese :
I had find a working copy of Altered Fable (on sukebei nyaa website it was "Altered Fable + Update V1.10" or something to that effect )
Mount the .iso file to E:\ for me
Run the setup.exe installer using Locale Emulator (in Japanese): https://github.com/xupefei/Locale-Emulator/releases, (In Japanese the 2nd button from the top is "install", it will install to a folder of your preference with folder name called "マブラヴオルタードフェイブル" )
---------------
Not sure if this part is needed but I did it anyway:
Downloaded the OG partial patch (I had to use Google search for "MLAF_Partial_Patch_3.1_Full.zip" it led me to some erogegames forum website to get a working link since vndb website link was broken)
Followed OG Patch instructions (to copy some patched files to "my documents" folder, the root game's folder and the plugins folder)
-------------------------------
Followed instructions on THIS forum page to install the Win 10 patch and THIS patch (to copy some patched files to the root game's folder and the plugins folder)
Run the game "マブラヴオルタードフェイブル.exe" using Locale Emulator
Once ingame, the first menu button ingame is for Altered Fable.
In Altered Fable game menu, first menu button is "Start", 2nd menu button is "Load"
Also found a 100% game save file that works:
file is here https://sagaoz.net/savedata/ma/31ma.htm , do a ctrl+f and look for "マブラヴ ALTERED FABLE 動作確認" the download link is on right hand side, put the gdb.uuc file in the Documents\age\マブラヴオルタードフェイブル\Vmreg folder
Looking forward to reading your TL!
