Hey everyone just wanted to ask a question about the pocket Sakura. From my understanding it communicates with the Gameboy color through IR to interact with Sakura Wars GBC game. I’ve always wanted to give this series a try and have a thing for small handheld games. Now my question is would this be able to communicate with the game after it is English patched?

Also I’d be trying it out on an analogue pocket

I can’t find the game on steam, are there any official PC versions of Sakura Wars around that you guys know of?

Hello!! I want to buy Sakura wars OST but i don't know if in the Sakura wars Limited edition (The 6 CD with the game and artbook), this is just OST or Vocal song. Like, is it a great collection of song? Thanks in advance:)

Hey guys! Yesterday i finished my first playthrough of Sakura Wars (PS4) and it was honestly a masterpiece. What can i do now? Is there any sort of post game content, NG+ or anything i need to know about?

I still have Koi Koi battles and virtual training battles to complete, but aside from that and collecting all the the chromes/photo cards, is there anything to look foward to on a new playthrough aside from getting different ending/routes?

Thanks in advance!

Any game recommendations similar to the series, particularly the first game? I really like the mix of visual novel and TRPG elements

After playing (and absolutely loving) the English patch of the first game, my main goal in learning Japanese is to be able to play the second. But if I had a digital version of the script, and was able to copy/paste and use tools like Yomi-chan, I’m fairly confident I’d be able to have a go at is as I am, and probably learn a lot more Japanese that way. I’ve tried to find one on the internet, but sadly haven’t had any luck. Does anyone know if something like that exists? It would be a massive help to me and probably many others.

I don't know whether it's the old art style but this is my first time playing any Sakura wars game but it just felt nostalgic.

I do enjoy it tho , there's a lot of things I can be nitpicky about the game but overall a really good experience for me.

I play this game with a guide to not miss out on anything and man , there's a lot of things you can miss , like in the first day, I think I miss a lot of things that then and I realised,I quickly load back and repeat the day cycle, while nowadays is easy with guide, I realized that I should give a huge respect to people who play this game during the early days, This game is hard!, i mean not the mecha fight,but the mini game is HARD, if anyone got till the end in sakura mini games, that person probably playing mario kaizo rn XD.

The story is nothing new , but man the song, the seiyu ,just the overall atmosphere just felt really great. Kudos to every single Seiyuu, I like Sakura,Kanna,Maria,Satan seiyuu, this people just screams and Sakura screams is something I haven't hear many other seiyuu does, Satan laugh is just brilliant too. Kanna is Luffy....so yeah very great VA as you expect.

Now I think I gonna try the anime and see what would happen, Thanks for reading my rant !

Hey all hope you are doing fine I recently finished sakura (2019) and I grew to love the game and reading posts here i was kinda hoping for news on it possibly getting a sequel so has there been any updates on that or anything really I want to get in to the series thanks. ( I also chose Anastasia for the romance she really stuck with me )

Has anyone here got a list of the possible ways to get a game over in the game? So far the only one i was able to get is if i get too competitive with kanna in an eating contest.

There's already guides for install that involve using secdrv and putting that in your System32 drivers folder and then disabling "driver signature enforcement" which is annoying and opens you up to security vulnerabilities. There's a good reason why Microsoft depreciated and deleted that off of Windows.

But you don't have to do that anymore since SafeDiscShim is now a thing. Just install that and it bypasses the need for secdrv. I've verified all four games work on my machine using this install method.

What you still need to do is follow most of the install, NoDVD, and compatibility instructions from the old Powerpoints (linked below). Just ignore anything related to secdrv.

Some of the disc download links are broken in the Powerpoint but you can just get them from Nyaa instead by searching for "Sakura Taisen" and filtering by software. What you're looking for are the torrents "Sakura Taisen 1-4 (PC) (JP)" and the NoDVD cracks. The hashes you're looking for are:

and

#Specific fix for 1, you need to delete 'drvmgt.dll'. 1 wouldn't launch while the file was there, 2-4 are fine though.

#Specific fix for 2, you need to download 'd3drm.dll' (from somewhere reputable) and put that in the same folder as SAKURA2_2003.exe.

Also if anyone has gotten any of the Sakura Wars PC versions to work with DxWnd so you can play them in windowed mode, let me know. I'm having a hard time trying to get them to work nice with the program.

I recently got the GBC game/Pocket Sakura and I'm obsessed! I did a deep dive into the games and I'm wondering what's the best/easiest way to play the series. Are their PC versions of all the games or will I have to buy the OG consoles and games?

Also what order do you recommend I play them in? Not sure if this is a chronological game or if it's like the Star Wars movies and there are alternate orders to play them in lol.

I wonder if anyone is working on the dreamcast versions of the series. Even though the 1st game is has been translated into English while the 2nd game is getting translated with the Saturn versions. Kinda makes me wonder about the dreamcast versions and as well as 3&4. With the whole love triangle thing the 4 had going

She was a true legend...an iconic one. Thank you for making people's hearts and souls happy with the remarkable characters that she played. May she rest in peace.

From what I understood in the last chapter of SW5 a sacrifice of a life would happen, but I wanted to know what happened so that no sacrifice happened? What exactly changed?

New to the franchise.

Getting points with all the girls, is there some way I'm supposed to specifically get into s romance with one and not the others? Do I get a choice or is it predetermined by total points or something?

And if so, am I supposed to purposefully not get points with some girls? Isn't that how they get more power though?

I'd just like to make sure I can ensure my choice.
