How to display Japanese characters in Cave Story

*(guide originally written by Shadax)*

If your game shows weird text like this:

Then, it means your computer doesn't handle non-unicode programs' text well. Thankfully, it doesn't make any difference in terms of speed/time in the game so you can still do runs with messed-up text, this is totally fine.

However, if you want Japanese characters to be displayed, here are 2 potential solutions:

**1.  Locale Emulator**
Download Locale Emulator via this link -> https://xupefei.github.io/Locale-Emulator/  
After installation you'll be able to launch programs in Japanese by:  
-> right clicking the .exe file  
-> select *Locale Emulator*  
-> click *Run in Japanese*

**2. Switching your system locale to Japanese**
In order to do that:

-> hit the Windows key  
-> search for *intl.cpl*  
-> select the *Administrative* tab  
-> under the *Language for non-Unicode programs* section, click *Change system locale* and select *Japanese (Japan)*

Your PC may then reboot.  
**Note:** Opting for this way may sometimes alter other programs' character displays so watch out.
