Words Worth RPG h-game with english patch, patch was done by funtranslation.com which is now dead but the site is archived here: http://web.archive.org/web/20060515013146/http://www.funtranslation.com/patches.html (http://web.archive.org/web/20060515013146/http://www.funtranslation.com/patches.html)
As you can see, aside from Words Worth they had english patches for 4 other games too: Metal Princess, Brutish Mine, Nineteen and Fortuna.
Maybe someone has patches for them, now they could be fixed to work on every computer ;) (They have sort of copy protection)
Make sure to run W98 version of ww_english.exe in Windows98 mode or else it will crash, worked fine on 32bit XP.
Make sure you overwrite all the old files with the ones from ww98patch.rar ! (On XP version don't replace WWBASE.EXE)
Thanks for molitar pointing out the XP version, there is no sound problems with that version ;D

Ask me if you have trouble getting it to work
Gotta say the translation is rather terrible, but it's better than nothing I suppose. Thanks for sharing.
Here's a walkthrough: http://www.sun-inet.or.jp/~s-kudo/L_A_M/wa/words.html (http://www.sun-inet.or.jp/~s-kudo/L_A_M/wa/words.html)
After overwriting all files, the game always clashes even when I change compatibility mode. Do I need to config something?
EDIT: It works on another PC. But there is a problem with voice playback so I have to turn it off.
Does anybody have walkthrough (can't find one)?
Really frustrated and desperate: just stuck in the very end - can't open the door on the last floor (and the sole button it seems doesn't open anything)
Oh my bad, I didn't read you message properly.
You have to go back to the '2nd floor' and the door to that 'emergency exit' will be open now.
Er.. Thanks.
But I have 2 problems:
- doesn't have the silver key (all my list of equipment full of pieces of table except ring)
- there is no keyhole to lock the door (at least I didn't find one)
Ok tip.. I installed the XP version.. than copied all the files from the ww folder from the XP release.. copied patch over and I have sound that works good for the game.

If that doesn't help then:

Directx is upto date.
Directly downloading the .dll and placing it into system32 didn't fix the error.
I think I'll just leave this game be for now. If someone else got this working on a 64bit system please let me know.
Thanks for trying to help.
worked fine on my xp 64-bit. did you set your unicode settings to japanese? If not that should fix it, but if you did it's a vista problem perhaps...

It's set to japanese, I thought that could be the problem but if it works for you then it's not.
either Vista problem or Video Card problem. I have ATI agp card.
I had a similar error at first, but then I just downloaded the 'missing' .dll and dumped it in my C:\Windows\System32 folder and hey presto it worked. You could try the same, but I can't guarantee it will work.
Game crashes when I enter the room Sharon is in. Used both XP and 98 version.
EDIT: Fixed it, disabled that video card option.
Hello. I've been a ghost more or less for a while now but, a lot of people seem to have that dll error on this one.
I did too but got past it so I thought I'd try to help. Note that I'm running a 64 bit vista and xp game though.
1. Install game and make sure it works just as original game(set compatibility for whatever OS game was made for. Probably should have unicode setting to japanese.
2. If you get .dll error down load .dll and put it in C:\Windows\system32
3. If error persists place a copy of .dll in the folder where files are at after install.(eg. C:\programfiles\wwxp for xp game users). This step got past .dll error for me.
4. Copy over all files in patch .rar except wwbase. Set ww_english compatibility to OS like you did for original game and run ww_english. This should let the game work.
I also had blakraven66's problem and his solution worked for me as well.
Thanks for uploading this, I'm stuck on the 1st underground level (5th level you play) at that girl at the end who does that "mistral widow" attack that blows you away. I've gotten the tablet from the door you had to take down with the crowbar but am unsure what else I need to do to get past her?
hmm ive got a few problems ... How do you get in sharons room without crashing, ive tried all the choices under compatability but none work.

In the config menu of the game there is an option that has a picture of a graphics card. Disable that option and you should be fine after that.
I have a totally different problem; the test isn't shown. I.e. the text boxes are empty, so I have absolutely no clue what to do; has anybody else encountered the problem?
Thanks in advance.

When starting your game did you follow the instructions on the naming screen? It should say to click bottom right button. If you change anything on that screen it messes up the translation and it won't show any text.
Yeah, I did follow the instructions. However, the problem arises even on the start screen, where you get four options, whatever they may be; I'm guessing the first is new game. Even there, I have four empty containers to click on.
I think I could be missing a language file - that the game uses an asian font I haven't installed. Or something.
What version of WW are you using 98 or xp? What kind of choices did you make on installation full/partial? Did you have any trouble making it start? If you did, what did you do to get it started? It's a bit of a standard step but, do you have your computer set to japanese locale? I've tried all kinds of things but, I can't reproduce your problem. ???
Install: XP; Installation... uhhh... I *think* full. Little trouble with starting - problem solved by installing DLL in Windows folder. Locale has been tried with English, German and Japanese. Also tried my luck using AppLocale. No changes.
Well, thanks for the help; if I ever find out what's the solution is, I'll post here; but apparently the problem is a combination between the game and my PC. Thanks a lot, again.
How do you install the patch?
Problem: Something Jap about a VOICE.EWV file.
Tried googling and I came up with practically nothing.
I ended up just renaming the voice file as such.
Now I have that problem above: text boxes are blank. BAH. THIS GAME WILL NOT DEFEAT ME.
i keep getting the game only works in xp or 2000
i have vista 32 bit
i updated my direct x and
Never got this game to work, not even on XP, so I gave up on it.
Bull was epic.
use compatibility mode?

Bull was epic.
I have to agree. Never got the patch to work ever on XP either.
I feel like an oddball hearing all these problems. I did the full install, dropped in the patch, and it started right up. Not even using compatibility settings. Only thing I didn't do was replace the wwbase.exe. I'm also running it on XP Pro sp3. Think I'll have to play it a bit to see if it goes down on me, but so far so good.
I'll put up the patch I used but I don't think it's any different than the w98 one.
The same for me, i have installed it with the instructions here and i have never have a problem with it.
i have xp pro too.
I have XP Ultimate =\. Although it shouldn't be too much different, since I've been able to run all games on applocale. Just couldn't install Japanese.
XP only came in Pro and Home flavors
Somebody's homebrew.
Smells like Vista, tastes like XP.

Smells like Vista, tastes like XP.
But it's still XP Pro.
Probably. There are enough differences.
Homebrew ehh, enjoy your botnets...
I always use original MSDN ISOs when loading a system onto a computer.
What?
I managed to get this game to work but could never get far because I couldn't figure out what to do. Is there an english walkthrough for this game (or could someone make one? I kept getting stuck on the level with the locked door on the third(?) floor where the sound is coming from.
Translate the Jap walkthrough given in earlier posts using Google translate. Its pretty much understandable.
I've almost given up trying to get this to work.
I have a couple of tests left, though.
For anyone who got this to work, what did your "translations.txt" file look like? Did it look comprehensible or just a huge mess?
Also, what is the size of your translator.dll? And the PersonalID listed in the gtconfig.ini file?
Sorry, uninstalled it. =\
But if you find out a solution please do post back. Sorry I'm no help.
My translation.txt looked like total gibberish.
Gtconfig file had PersonalID=9227b099be01d1f891f437e4713c5694
Translator.dll was 64.0kb
Took me a little time messing around with the installer menu, but here's how I got the XP version working. I did it on an XP machine, regional settings for Japanese unicode. I can't guarantee this will work for everyone. I'm also attaching the patch I used.
at installer menu:
click WordsWorth logo
click second choice on menu
chose 1.17gb
click bottom right button (next)
chose indeovideo
bottom right button (next)
left defaults and next again
yes at the popup
install (second from bottom)
let full install run then click bottom button (finish)
exit installer (bottom choice, above elf logo)
extract patch files into WWXP folder
run from ww_english.exe (I put a shortcut on the desktop)
start game and watch intro movie
at the screen for hero's name DO NOT change it, do as it says and click the button to the right (do the same later when it comes up in the middle of the game)
watch the cut scene with clouds and start playing
If you read the translations_demo file from the patch it will give you some info about game play.
Good luck, if this doesn't work then I hope it at least gets you in the right direction.
Okay, it is now working.
Apparently, I was installing it wrong. I never realized that the Words Worth title graphic was the actual button to press to install Words Worth - I just thought it was the first available button near the top.
When Words Worth installed correctly, it created a WWXP folder. The other option that I kept clicking on created a WWSP folder, and that doesn't work with the translation patch.
Installed on Windows 7, 64-bit, I didn't need to run it in any compatability for it to work. Didn't have to install it to the default path. Installed and played using Japanese locale, but other options (AppLocale during install and running with or without AppLocale) might work as well.
Minor issues that popped up: d3drm.dll, and the opening video.
It wanted the d3drm.dll, but it couldn't find it, despite it being downloaded and placed in the System32 folder. Simply placing a copy of the dll in the Words Worth folder will solve this issue.
Opening video: this video was long, unskippable, and was actually not playing any video at all, but only the sound. I'm suspecting it's a codec issue, but renaming the WWOPIRS.avi file is enough to make that minor annoyance just disappear.
Fun things to note while playing: You can pretty much do everything (well, everything important) on the numpad. Attack, move, item menu, map button, all in one hand. Enter is the attack button, 0 is the item menu, 5 is the map, the arrow buttons are obvious, but for some reason the strafe buttons are 1 and 3. It's a bit of an inconvenience.
And in other notes, the bow is just fucking cheap. It's pretty easy to cheese a lot of the bosses, it seems, with the bow. Also, it's rather embarrassing that this thing that was giving me such a huge headache was such an easy fix.
Congrats on getting it running.
Near as I can tell, that other install (WWSP) is a cut down, prologue kinda game, but I could be wrong.
Possible suggestions about those minor issues:
d3drm.dll is a leftover from earlier directx days, on windows 7 I hear it works if you put it in the system folder, not system32...tho I can't confirm it myself. Putting a copy in the folder like you did does make a quick fix.
For the opening movie, could easily be a codec problem. The machine I installed it on is using the K-lite package, and it plays just fine.
You're right about the bow, and later on there's a couple times I found where it was a nescessity if you're not strong enough for the monsters. Something else to note is that once you reach a high enough exp level, the monsters disappear from the dungeons, so it might be worth running around killing everything you can find.
A little fun aside, I found an old program (dos days, early windows old) that can edit the savegames to change your level and give you loads of gold (great for getting those healing items and better gear).
Anyway, don't be too embaressed. Things happen, stuff goes wrong, and I know for a fact you're not the first to go through 9 kinds of hell to get a game running, just to find a simple solution.
I'm getting near the end, but there's an event or two I've missed. Does anyone have a 100% finished save, so I can just go through and look at the events after I've beaten it? I don't want to have to go through the entire game (and the grinding it requires) just to see what I've missed.
Also, hot damn leveling is just broken in this game. Well, not broken, just very much different than a lot of RPGs. I'm still on the fence as to whether or not I like how the numbers progress when you level.

Finally set aside the time to finish the last floor. That save worked great, thanks for the link laplacian.
I really enjoyed this game. I hope others did too. I just wish that Astro wasn't so clueless. It gets annoying after the Nth eroge featuring a terminally clueless protagonist.
can anyone upload me the english patch?
I can't access the patch on funtranslation (>,<)
You can find a new link on the first post.
EDIT: Did you even read the first post? The patch is right there and on a working link.
I hope it's ok to revive this thread. Is this game in Japanese language with English text/subtitle?
I'm using windows vista, will it work perfectly in Vista? Also, is this the same version as the one from Nihonomaru?
http://forum.nihonomaru.com/eroge.285/thread/words-worth.292838/
Yes, it should be. More-so that it's a fan translation and that 'english' voice-overs in the professional scene is practically non-existent for VNs (as far as I know).
No idea if it'll work on Vista, but it ran just fine on Windows 7 in my case.
Should be the same game. There is only one VN named 'Words Worth'. I could be wrong, I didn't download it from here, but since the description and everything matches...
I manage to install the game from Nihonomaru but the program crash after the opening cutscene. Also, although there's English patch for some reason, the text is in Japanese instead of English. Anyone with Vista experience the same problem?
i played it with vista and it worked fine for me
How did you install it? I install according to the instructions below from Nihonomaru. Do I need to install any addition program? Is your installation method same as the one from Nihonomaru? Also, when I try to move the English patch to WW folder, it says 'There is not enough space on WWXP. You need an additional 758 KB to copy these files.'
Install XP:
The XP version threw me for loops until I realized what was going on, it also crashed much less than the 98 version (which sometimes if I were to minimize it wouldn't let me back in, or close it this one didn't do that to me)
1.Extract
2.Mount Image
3.Ignore the autorun menu, close it and view the files on the image (windows explorer)
4.Open the WW directory and run the install from there
5.1.17gb install then next (bottom right button)
6.Indeovideo then next(same button)
7.I'd stay with default settings for this (default Directory should be WWXP, NOT WWSP that would be the wrong installer and the patch will have everything be textless), NEXT
8. The finish button is the top button in the middle (still at lower half of screen) Actually http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=u34EzeUPgrk sums up all the steps so far.
9.Extract the English patch, and replace all files Except WWBASE *DO NOT OVERWRITE WWBASE.EXE*
10. I would recommend running in windows xp compatibility mode, you may not have to, and w98 should work too (Though I had trouble closing the game with w98 mode). Without XP mode I couldn't view the intro movie, it was just a black screen.
11.You may want to run wwbase first, before I got the xp version working, I got w98 version working, so I had run the wwbase file first anyways. (If the video is black and sound plays *after the "and then..."* then you probably have to install indeovideo drivers or do step 10.)
12. IF the background of the main menu doesn't say words worth (and is a silhouette of a guy smoking, you installed the wrong version). (which means the game will be textless if you try to play).
In Game fixes (both versions): You will probably crash if you try to use your bow or trigger certain events, to fix this, go the the config menu and click the video card with the X over it (or click right below it you should be able to tell how the option is chosen) It will probably cause some of the game to be a bit jerky (especially the last boss for for me, I didn't try seeing if I could fight him with it enabled though).
If you need a DLL file (d3drm): http://www.dlldump.com/download-dll-.../download.html (Where I got it from at least)
Extract the .dll-file to a location on your computer. We recommend you to unzip the file to the directory of the program that is requesting the file. If that doesn't work, you will have to extract the file to your system directory. By default, this is C:\Windows\System (Windows 95/98/Me), C:\WINNT\System32 (Windows NT/2000), or C:\Windows\System32 (Windows XP, Vista, 7).

There is an edit button for some reason.
To install this on vista:
download win7 with removeWAT or monies.
install win7
use XP compatibility
