I'm really not certain about Virtual PC's effectiveness with this. I just made a post about trying to get Yume 2kki to work in other thread. I think that some of the problem that folks may be having not initially installing Japanese language files on their computer before trying to use AppLocale. (I'll repost what I had posted in the other thread in this post and hopes that it helps someone.) I'll admit that I like setting my computer to read non-Uniocode Japanese characters better than using AppLocale, but I can see why people would want to use AppLocale instead.

I'm going to assume that you have Windows XP as your system. If not, this post won't be of any help. I'm also not going to go over enabling your system to run Japanese non-unicode characters unless you or someone else requests this.
1)*If you haven't done this already, you must install the Japanese language pack. To do this, go to: Start>Settings>Control Panel>Regional and Language Options>Languages
*Check off the box next to "Install files for East Asian languages" and click on either OK or Apply
NOTE: You may have to use your Windows XP CD; if you have lost that, try browsing for the files in C:\I386.
*Restart your computer after installing your files.
2) After dealing with that, download and install AppLocale if you haven't already: http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/details.aspx?FamilyId=8C4E8E0D-45D1-4D9B-B7C0-8430C1AC89AB&displaylang=en
3) *Next, download and extract the Japanese RPG Maker 2003 RTP:
http://tkool.jp/rtp/2003rtp.exe
*Open the downloaded file and click OK. A folder labaled "2003RTPセットアップ" should appear on your desktop.
*Go to the Start menu and open AppLocale. Click on Next> and check "Launch an Application." Click Browse and select RPG2003RTP, which should be located in the 2003RTPセットアップ folder. Click Next> and select the last language listed on drop-down menu. Click Next> and Finish. AppLocale should launch the RPG Maker 2003 RTP installer. (Hopefully, you can figure out how to launch this.)
4) Try launching Yume 2kki. Use AppLocale to run RPG_RT.exe in the Yume 2kki folder.
5) If you are still having problems, try installing the Japanese Global IME tool:

I'm hoping that this will help you out. I get the feeling that I forgot to mention something or other. I know that trying to get these programs to work is a huge pain in the ass.
