Gaming Steins;Gate: Help!

[Oveneise]

Okay - so here's the deal. I downloaded and installed Steins;Gate. I updated to version 1.20 I tried running the 1.20 crack, and the english patch. It constantly gives me this error (which is convienently in Japanese)

(Sorry for the large image - use.com likes it that size, I guess)
Anyways - here's my information.
I have my system locale set to Japanese.
I'm running Windows XP SP3 Professional.
My specs:
Intel Pentium III
Mobile CPU: 1133MHZ
1.13GHZ, 1.0GB of RAM

Just to let you guys know, I've played many visual novels - all without any problems. What my real question is - is has anyone else on here gotten the error message above, and if someone would be so kind - what does the error message say? Any help is greatly appreciated.

Thanks in advance!

I can take a guess. SSE2 is an instruction set, I only know this because of PCSX2 (the PS2) emulator, but anyhow... http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/SSE2 I'm guessing that the game requires it and your processor doesn't support it (or something along those lines).

pretty much this

the pentium III does not have SSE2 only SSE1

I think it means SSE2 instuction set not enable. (I think, I'm not good at japanese) Pretty much you can't run it unless you got sse2.

It's about time for a computer upgrade anyways, don't you think?

HOW DO YOU HAVE A PENTIUM III?!?! My little sister used to be on a Pentium IV and THAT felt a chore sometimes.

Well, it's a P3 Mobile, so it's a laptop. Maybe he got it as a gift or something.

You don't want to now wat I am using atm then...

 

[Originality]

I still have a functional Pentium 2 in storage. The older ones stopped working.

It's an old hand-me-down laptop I got from a friend.
Suprisingly, it runs extremely fast - webbrowsing is awesome, and the thing is pretty damn small.
And the only real stuff I run on it are the older FPS's (fps genre = major meh) and the far more interesting visual novels. Up until this point, I saw no reason to upgrade since VN's are the only real apps besides Firefox that I run on this thing.
Well - I'm probably going to end up receiving my friend's newer laptop with INTEL PENTIUM IV soon. So I should *hopefully* be able to run Steins;Gate then...

I can buy a duo core for just 150$, sorry 90-130$

I'm confused as to why you want to play Steins;Gate when you are not fluent in Japanese. The error translates to "Your computer system does not have the ability to run SSE2 instructions".

 

[Joe88]

you can actually play most VN's without knowing what the heck anyone is saying

 

[Carl326]

I see what you mean, but Steins;Gate is rated 15+ so without knowing japanese its pretty much like trying to read a book without knowing any of the words.

It's got an english patch out right now. So I could read it - if I had a Pentium 4 or higher.

It's a SciFi theme Visual novel game.
It has been adapted in few manga, and later in anime.
