Visual novel reader???

[Flowerthief]

So, I downloaded visual novel reader (or vnr for short) but I have no idea how to download games to it? and how do I download otome games/visual novels for it? AND HOW do I put it in the springboard? I downloaded Diabolik lover, but maybe there is a certain file or website I should download games from for them to add to the springboard??? Please help, I really want to play games : )

ohhhhh, so I need to buy the otome/vns first? But if so, do I plug in my psvita and use the ppsspp emulator?

[Flowerthief]

So I need to buy them online? For PC? okay, do you have any recommendations? : )

[Flowerthief]

Thank you so much! Have a good day!

Okay : 3 should I just go for it and buy a japanese vn? xD? And try to plug it in with my ps vita, lol. It doesn't hurt to try, and even if it doesn't work I can probaly look up translations online.

Once you've got a game, there are guides on how to use VNR, specifically. This one is good, I believe:

She also has a tutorial on PSP text hooking,

If you have the PSP version of Diabolic Lovers you can use that +the emulator. The Vita version isn't very possible, I think.

Ah, darn. I better get myself a psp! Thank you guys so much! Now I can finally become my inner otome gamer

There are a few otome games that are already translated, OZMAFIA! for example, search for it in mangagamer page. Hakuoki is also a great otome.

Nah, you need PPSSPP, which is an emulator... Otherwise, I'd recommend trying something originally for the PC if you're overwhelmed, like UnlimitedMoeWorks suggested. Decent PC otome games currently in Japanese:

-Starry Sky if you like the English In Spring, the JP should be pretty simple. I just find them kinda boring.. moe guys, though!

- Watashi no Real wa Juujitsu Shisugiteiru -> super cute, funny, easy to read, and FREE. It's great.

-Gakuen Tokkyuu Hotokenser - I think this one seemed pretty easy to read? Was pretty funny, too! Didn't get that far before I retired my laptop, though.

- Double Score - Was easy to read, if you like older guys, you can give this one a shot. There's a pretty heavy amount of drama, though, but the moe is there.

Should be a decent list, at least. I'd recommend starting with the second one, cause it takes no effort to acquire.

(And Renrekt's accurate in saying that there are some good ones in English. Just assumed you'd played all of those).

I've played them both : ) it's just that I have been longing to play like, Diabolik lovers, Brother's conflict, Binary star and much more! Too bad that they aren't localized to the west.... YET XD thank you anyways~

I do have the ppsspp emulator, but how does it even work? lol, I can't translate the text. Maybe I need a psp or a psvita for the game to actually translate?

Read the tutorials I linked. That's why I linked them, after all. Should answer your questions. And seriously, if you find PSP text hooking to be too confusing, just use a PC game like the ones I suggested above and the basic VNR tutorial.

I used the psp version of diabolik lovers but this keeps happening? SO that's why I was wondering if I was supposed to 

 

pst, I dunno if you can see it from the link xD I have no idea how to post photos
