The game is known to be dificult to play on a PC, as well as many media players will not display the video nor the subtitles properly or at all. The DVD passwords must be remembered in order to get into a route and the DVD does not save. Two media players that has been known to fully function with the game is VLC and PowerDVD.
Both players have their own strenght and weaknesses. VLC will run with no problems, allowing you to fast forward scenes with the slider bar, but the password system will give you a blank screen if you attempt to use it. PowerDVD will run fine as well, but it may or may not let you use the slider bar to fast forward scenes. PowerDVD has a working fast-forward option, but it can cause the game to freeze and stop responding at certain scenes.
