Popee The Performer Carnival CD-ROM Computer Game "Gameplay" Footage!!! (ポピーザぱフォーマー 謝肉祭 無修正盤)

PLEASE READ FOR MORE INFO!!!

I recently purchased this game from Japan, and using a Virtual Machine and MANY hours of trial and error I was able to get it to run and show off some gameplay footage!!! Gameplay is a... term I use loosely, it's not really much of a game, to be honest.

You can choose to pick either Popee, Kedamono, or Papi from the starting screen. From there, you can pick from a variety of wallpapers, screensavers, and little desktop buddies. For some odd reason the wallpapers weren't working, but considering I had already put 12 hours of troubleshooting into this, I wasn't going to delve deeper into it, sorry. Sometimes, "random encounters" happen when you open the game. It happens about 20% of the time, from what I've noticed. From there, you get a chance to encounter the frog, the alien, a glitched screen, and a bunch of Papi's. The frog and alien have a chance of showing you secret screensavers. The glitched screen does absolutely nothing, and the only way to get rid of it is to close the game. The Papi's are pretty self explanatory.

Here is a link containing the games files if you wish to play the game for yourself!! The ISO image file is what you want if you're interested in booting up the game on a virtual machine.

Please note: This requires A LOT of setup. You need to have a virtual machine with a Windows XP ISO, as Windows 2000 would simply not run the game despite claiming otherwise on the box. You also need to set all of your locale settings to Japanese, including the text boxes. You'll know if you didn't do this correctly if you try to boot up the game and the text box shows up with a bunch of question marks and broken symbols.

I'm hoping someone who is more tech savvy than me could be able to extract the files from the game. I believe it COULD be possible to extract the 3D models of the heads, though I'm not making any promises. Edit: A wonderful user on tumblr was able to extract some files from the game!! Turns out, they're not 3D models like I thought, lol. You can see some of the animations on the Popee the Performer Wiki!! Here's a link. https://popeetheperformer.fandom.com/...

Anyway, thanks for watching, and I hope to post more archival footage like this in the future!
