Some older visual novels require using the Japanese Shift JIS locale
Sorry, but that sounds fishy. Sure, quite a few Japanese games/programs needs to be run in the Japanese locale, but the charset req seems wrong.
Any examples that don't work under ja_JP.utf8 ?
(though I'm not disputing the validity of the patch - that's a separate matter)
To clarify, I'm still trying to get the game installed, as apparently `LC_ALL`, `TZ`, japanese system time and keyboard layout still aren't enough to avoid region lock errors. "require using the Japanese Shift JIS locale" means here that I had the least amount of garbled characters (still not zero!) with this character set, and Ghidra was only able to find relevant strings (that appear in the installer and the region lock error itself) when searching for Shift_JIS encoded data. The installer in the example is for a VN from DLsite.
