Hello people. I’m frustrated by the whole thing and hope someone can help me.

So I was playing the English patch of Sakura Wars through Mednaffen. I did everything this post said to do: https://www.reddit.com/r/SakuraWars/s/jz2mBeRfb7

I made the m3u file, I set up everything, so on so forth. And the game played well for the first 7 chapters. Then I hit chapter 8 and it asked me to switch discs.

I’ve tried everything I could find on this subreddit and other places: I tried switching the disk through Mednaffen (with F8 and F6), I tried verifying I had made the m3u correctly, I tried renaming my save files so I could run it with only the disc 2 file, tried putting everything in its own dedicated directory. None of that worked, it still asks me to change the disc. The only thing I haven’t tried is something that was called a shared memory card, and that’s because I have no clue on where to start with that.

If it helps in giving me advice or pointing me to a place that has the answers I’m looking for, when I renamed the save files for Disc 2 and ran that file, I had access to the save file, that was not an issue. The issue is it still asked me to change the disc.

I just really want to play the last few stages of the game. If you have any idea on what I could do that I haven’t tried already, please share it in the comments.

Update: Decided to test something out. I played Disc 2 and started a new game, and it worked. Did the same with Disc 1. Also worked. Unless Disc 2 also lets you start a new game, I think that means that while the files themselves say they're Disc 1 and Disc 2, they're both the first disc. Can someone confirm to me if that's possible?

(Boxart based on the fan-translation btw) and if that could happen, i look forward for the GB protagonist getting his character fleshed out, because he has untapped potential even to this day.

Hey everybody just wanted to ask for some quick tips since I don't know when the sakura wars 2 translation will be out I started sakura wars 2 on redream but am having a huge problem with translating the words [using Google Translate] before timer runs out and have found the Faq walkthrough to be a bit confusing how did you get through this game or does redream have a pause button?

The deluxe edition is currently on sale and I can't make up my mind yet since I never played a sakura game before. From what I saw the characters interactions look right up my alley but I have a few questions about the gameplay :

-How much of the game does the combat make? Is it like 50% while you spend the other half in the story?

-How good is the combat in your opinion?

I finished the 2019 Sakura Wars and found it to be alright but lacking in places that just left me feeling unsatisfied, looking at the previous games they seem more up my alley with the cast of girls looking more interesting and being isometric SRPGS but I'm finding spotty information on fan translations. Would watching the original anime be good enough? or maybe the Manga? I'd rather not watch longplays on youtube to be able to experience them and the ps2 game that got released seems to have a separate cast as well so I'd want to visit that after being more familiar with the series.

We DESPERATELY need the older titles released translated for modern consoles. Us in the West, never got the chance to enjoy those amazing games :(

Hey all! I'm a volunteer editor over at the doll database site, Dollect. Think My Figure Collection but exclusively for fashion dolls. I recently finished putting up a section dedicated to Sakura Wars. It could be improved though, and I thought I'd drop a line here to get some help!

Basically, we have a preference towards using official stock photos and images. Photos from places like Mandarake and Surugu-ya are kind of in a grey area since they're technically retail chains. It's what we've been relying on for most of our older Japanese dolls so far. Since they're used stock though, a lot of the photos aren't exactly ideal. That's why I'd love to reach out to anyone who is willing to share images they have saved or photos from their own collections. We're allowed to use unofficial photos as long as we get permission.

Photos or magazine scans of any dolls are appreciated, but these are the ones in desperate need of better images:

-SEGA CharaDoll Selection Sumire Kanzaki

-Tsukuda Hobby Full Action Doll Series Kanna Kirishima (her head's covered in plastic in the images we have)

-Tsukuda Hobby Full Action Doll Series Kanna Kirishima Combat Uniform (her hands are in a very weird position in the images we have)

-Tsukuda Hobby Full Action Doll Series Maria Tachibana Combat Uniform (plastic over her head is squishing the hair into an unflattering shape)

-Tsukuda Hobby Full Action Doll Series Kohran Li Combat Uniform (images are mostly fine. Would just prefer to have ones with her glasses on.)

-Tsukuda Hobby Full Action Doll Series Orihime Soletta (would prefer pics with gloves on)

-Tsukuda Hobby Full Action Doll Series Reni Milchstrasse (would prefer pics with gloves on)

-Yumi Katsura With Sakura 2000 Millenium Two-Pack Maria Tachibana

And lastly, we have enough good images of the 1/1 scale Paper Moon dolls, but they're just so cool, if anyone can find any other articles or publicity shots they're in, that'd be great!

Thank you!

On GameFAQs all there is are old, not very informative walkthroughs and translation guides. Want to play with the least use of guides, but anyway:

• There are no level ups or experience. Do stats improve from points with the girls or what?
• Should I aim for the most points with ALL the girls or will that ruin my chances with any of them? (Aiming for Maria.)
• Is there a limit for how many rooms I can visit in the map mode? In ep 2 I got a warning for "can only check three more rooms," but in ep 3 it seemed I could check them infinitely before finding Maria. Was that limit only for ep 2?

Just showing a cool photo I took of the back of one of my Sakura Wars CDs, where the camera flash lines up with the center flash in the art.

I have a copy of Sakura Taisen 4 lying around somewhere. I didn’t install it because I heard it was a short game, and instead has many endings across the entire cast of romance options.

Recently I just 100 percented the original Dragon’s Dogma, and it dawned on me it had the same structure: branching quests and many romance endings that require multiple runs through NG+.

Is it difficult to do multiple playthroughs of ST4? Are these features that let you skip cutscenes and battles that you’ve seen before?

Does anyone know a website that has all the model/gunpla kits of sakura wars 1-5 I've found some on ebay but looking for a whole collection thank you

Prominent Sega and Atlus leaker Midori confirmed the existence of a new Sakura Wars title!

I wanna know how to find the ost for the 2000s tv series of Sakura wars, specifically the song that plays at 15:25 of episode 3. I’ve been trying to find this ost everywhere but I can’t seem to get close at all. Whenever I do find something, it’s just a link to buy the ost on eBay or something. I’m not sure what to do, can you guys help me please? Thanks!

Hey, everyone!

I wanted to play through the original 4 games and was planning to do it on Dreamcast but several sources noted that the PC versions are superior due to being fully voiced, while none of the console versions are.

Is it true for all the 4 titles? And if yes, how detrimental will the partial lack of voiceovers be? Thank you!

I had a save at the beginning of Episode 3. I was hoping someone could share a Sega Saturn save file that I could restore on my system.

Do the anime adaptations get the story across pretty well? I'm still on the fence on playing the games.

Has anyone successfully emulated the english patch of Sakura Wars on Steam Deck and could walk me through it? I.. don't really understand any of the guides I've seen on emulating this game in eng but I've been wanting to play for years and don't want to give up. I do already have RetroArch installed, but I don't know where to go from here.

Maybe I'm just doing something wrong, but I can't do any combine attacks anymore, even though it wasn't ever a problem in my first playthrough. I'm on chapter 4 and even with characters that are in a perfect moon and that I chose as a Team in chapter 3's battle, I can't trigger them anymore. Am I doing something wrong? Has this happened to anybody else? If you know something please help me out!
