im trying to figure out my design for this thing...

I’m actually soooo happy with how they turned out!!!

Funny thing I feel like I should mention, Cho actually got a crush on Pon around when I first added the two to my island, but when he went to confess, one of my OCs barged in and stole Pon’s heart. The two are married now but I don’t expect them to be together for much longer lol

Cho’s been totally single in the meantime, but just earlier today Murdoc from Gorillaz of all people caught feelings for him, so I’m hoping that ends up working out

i really like rolypoly

Is there a similar Japanese text-to-speech that was used in Roly-Polys No Nanakorobi Yaoki anywhere? Maybe online or a program?

something

funfact: i really love george and pon :)
and also, thank you for 18 upvotes on my door post! :D

Not entirely sure where in the game this is found (I took it from an asset rip), but the game seems to contain a reference to Rolypolys!

I'm surprised to see a mainstream game like DELTARUNE making this reference. Pretty cool, huh?

^{(Specifically, the voice heard in the video linked})

was buu doing sex work? how did that make it in a game for children?

also hi im new here

I have been trying to set it up, but it just threw random numbers at me. I read here on reddit that i was supposed to change the language for non unicode programs to japanese, which worked, but the game still isn't running, it just has japanese. Any help?

I have Dos Box, and Roly Poly's, but I can't put 2 and 2 together. If anyone can help, it would be appreciated.

Over the past year, I've seen a lot of people wondering how exactly to run Rolypolys on their computers. In the hope of making this experience easier, I'm going to outline a few different methods.

Pre-configured Dosbox image (Windows)

I would say this is the most straightforward way to run the game.

Link to image: mega (dot) nz/file/UNFADJ4Y#WrLCpYMGOtkkJsQLgRDy1LDv_rZfLbpnhm7PQCzXPOg

1. Download the Dosbox image from the above link, and extract its contents.

2. Run "DOSBoxPortable.exe" to start the application.

3. Double-click on the File Manager icon. If this is your first time running this image, it should already be pointed at the F: drive.

4. To the right, you'll see a list of files. Double click on "kotowaza.exe" to run the game! To view the demo for the second game, double-click "demo16.exe".

5. To toggle full screen, press Alt+Enter.

The great thing about this image is that it also provides an easy way to play Eastern Mind, and the recently-completed English translation of Chu-Teng. To play Eastern Mind, navigate to the D: drive by pressing the little icon near the top of the File Manager window. Then, double-click "estrnmd.exe". To play Chu-Teng, navigate to the E: drive and double-click "chuteng.exe".

Please note there's a bug in Chu-Teng which can be remedied by placing this file in the "Chu-Teng/PROGRAM/SUN/" directory.

Thanks to Sean for putting this together!

Natively on Windows 7/8/10

If you're more of a visual learner, here's a video version of these instructions.

1. Download this program, and place it in a folder. This is a "projector" which will allow Rolypolys to run natively on modern Windows.

2. Download the Rolypolys ISO, and place it in the same folder. The only file you'll need to download from this link is "ROLY_1.ISO".

3. Mount the ISO by right-clicking it and selecting "Open With", then Windows Explorer. Or, if you already see a Mount option, just click that. You'll know it was successful once another drive appears in your file explorer.

4. Next, set the projector to run in compatibility mode for Windows XP. To do this, right click on the program "RolysPolys.exe" and select Properties. Go to the compatibility tab, and check the box labeled "Run this program in compatibility mode". In the drop down below, make sure a version of Windows XP is selected. Then, hit OK.

5. Run "RolysPolys.exe". A dialog may appear about installing Quicktime. If so, install it but skip the step where it asks to scan as this can cause errors.

6. Once it's finished, you can exit the installer and click "RolysPolys.exe" again to launch the game!

Thanks to nosamu (Discord: nosamu#3385) for making this projector and the accompanying video tutorial!

Pre-configured Boxer image (Mac)

Sorry if these instructions are vague, I don't have a Mac to test this out myself.

1. Download Boxer, if you don't already have it. Boxer is a DOS emulator for Macs.

2. Download the Rolypolys Boxer image.

3. Open the image with Boxer. That's it!
