 ==== Floppy Disk Contents ====
-To do
+Floppy disk 1 has the installer utility:
+{{:blog:tuned_heart_-_disk_a.png?640|}}
+Just run ''INSTALL.BAT'' to start the hard disk install routine.
 ==== HDD Install Process ====
-To do
+After running ''INSTALL.BAT'' from disk 1 you see an initial installation screen:
+{{:blog:tuned_heart_-_install_1.png?640|}}
+This is asking you confirm the creation of a new directory in ''A:\S-SOFT\TH'', which appears to be a hard default for the destination. Answering ''N'' at this point exits the installer, so press ''Y''.
+Next you are asked if you would like to create a boot floppy to start the game, choose the first option (No) here to bypass it:
+{{:blog:tuned_heart_-_install_2_-_create_bootdisk.png?640|}}
+The next screen asks you to select the type of sound device, either a **-26** as used on PC-9801 machines or **-86** as used on later PC-9801 and PC-9821 and higher, or, lastly; a system running Windows 95 and a Windows-supported sound device:
+{{:blog:tuned_heart_-_install_3_-_sound.png?640|}}
+You then have a final confirmation screen:
+{{:blog:tuned_heart_-_install_4_-_confirm.png?640|}}
+Selecting the default option here continues the installer, which then begins copying files. After a short time you'll then get prompted for each subsequent floppy in turn:
+{{:blog:tuned_heart_-_install_4_-_next_disk.png?640|}}
+A last screen thanks you for installing the game, then dumps you back to the command line:
+{{:blog:tuned_heart_-_install_complete.png?640|}}
+===== Running the Game =====
+After install, you should have a directory of files that looks like this:
+{{:blog:tuned_heart_-_installed_files.png?640|}}
+Run ''SSGAME.BAT'' and the game will start, showing a series of logos fading in and out:
+{{:blog:tuned_heart_-_logo.png?640|}}
+Then ultimately the game title, and then the game main menu:
+{{:blog:tuned_heart_-_menu.png?640|}}
+===== English Patch! =====
+Tuned Heart is now fully playable in English!

+    * https://www.romhacking.net/translations/4957/
+You can find a local copy of the {{ :blog:tunedheart-pc-98.7z|patch}} and {{ :blog:tuned_heart_manual_en.pdf|English manual}}. Do note that the patcher is a Windows //.exe//, so you'll have to run it in Windows, or Wine on Linux.
+==== Pre-Packaged Install ====
+I also have the game pre-packaged, with the English patch, with metadata, artwork and other stuff ready to run via my PC98 native game launcher, [[blog:pc98_launcher_b|here]].
