- I get an error message when opening the game on Mac!
Wineskin (which was used to port Pom Gets Wi-Fi to Macs) no longer works on some newer operating systems! You can try Azarati’s browser version of the game on the page here.
Can I make Pom Gets Wi-Fi fanart/Let’s Plays/cosplay/fangames/etc?
Yes!!
- Can I translate the game? How do I do it?
Of course! Please send me a link when you’re done, I’d love to see it ^^ Here’s a list of translations that are already complete!
You’ll need to download the RPGMaker 2003 editor and manually change the dialogue everywhere in the game. (I imagine that this is pretty tedious, so major props to everyone who’s actually done it!!)
- Where’s the Mac version?
Here, courtesy of the Jammed Gears Team
- The RPGMaker.net download link isn’t working. Where else can I download the game?
- Are you going to make a sequel?
No, sorry!
- I downloaded the game. How do I open it?
- I’m getting the error message “Rpg maker 2003 runtime package is not present or not registered.”
Right under the RPG_RT.exe file you clicked when trying to start the game, there’s a file called RPG_RT.ini file. Open it with a text editor like Notepad and add the line: FullPackageFlag=1 (thanks RMN user Link_2112!)
If that doesn’t work, please try downloading the RPGMaker 2003 RTP package (sorry for the trouble!)
- When I try to open the game, I get ”DirectDraw Error (DDERR_UNSUPPORTED)”
- The arrow keys don’t work! I can’t move!
- How do I get the other ending? / How do I get past the line of dogs? / Where are the Corg-Keys? / Other “I don’t know what to do next” questions
Here’s a walkthrough.
- How do I save?
- What song is playing in the Observatory/Credits/etc.?
Observatory: “Gymnopedie No. 1” by Kevin MacLeod
Final battle against Shibe: “We’re All Under the Stars” by Eric Skiff
Ambient music on the bridge to Dog: “Forgive Me Great Spirit” by Dan-O
Credits Song: “Outree” by DECO*27 (you can buy the song on iTunes in the US!)
All other music is stock music that came with RPGMaker 2003. Because people are asking about these too:
Title screen: “Memories”
Intro: “Village2”
Doggy Heaven + the next map to the east + the park: “Eternal”
Normal Battle Theme: “Field4”
Sharpei and Crest/Puddle’s house: “Interlude”
The Park, after Hus joins: “Ending3”
Inside the Frisbee Machine: “Mecha-Base”
Starpugs exterior: “Castle3”
Starpugs interior: “Shop3”
The Gate: “Solace3”
Dog Battle: “Mystery3”
Being meguca is sufferin Ending: “Sadness”
- The font is weird and unreadable!
Try downloading these fonts here! Unzip the file, then double click on each of the fonts inside and install them.
- When I open the game, I get the error “The file more daring test cannot be opened.”
Please try the fixes here!
- When I open the game, I get the error “The file C:\Users…\RPG_RT.lmt cannot be opened.”
This seems to be a thing that randomly happens to RPGMaker 2003 games, and I’m not sure what causes it…I don’t think there’s anything you can do except play on another computer or watch a video playthrough of the game, sorry!! :^(((((((
- The game goes into fullscreen and won’t change to windowed mode.
Try pressing F4 or Alt+Enter on your keyboard. If you’re still having trouble, right click the game and choose “Run as Administrator.”
- I’ve encountered a bug and am stuck!
Here’s a list of known bugs in the different versions:
All versions:
- Depending on your computer, the game may randomly fail to play the credits at the very end and crash, usually with the error message “no such interface supported.” This will also possibly delete your save file. You’re not actually missing out on seeing any content, but if you want to keep your save file safe you might want to save in 2 different slots as a precaution.
- There’s a random chance that after talking to Corg, the game will screw up and fail to change the dialogue in the trash pile, so even if you check it, you won’t get the Corg-Keys. If this happens, you’ll be stuck unless you reload from a save file from before the glitch, or restart the entire game :((((((((((( So save often and in multiple slots!
- Depending on your computer, the game may crash when you go across the rainbow south of the park to the observatory. I still have no idea what causes this…You can beat the game without ever going to this area, so if it crashes for you, you can just avoid it.
Version 1.03:
- Pom will say the same thing twice in the conversation with Bold. My bad.
- It’s possible to walk into the park after it’s been fixed even though you’re not supposed to.
Version 1.02
- Shibe’s picture doesn’t erase after talking to Bold. You’ll have to talk to another dog to get rid of it.
- If you did not take pictures of Crest, there is a chance that Shibe will not leave the party when you talk to Corg. This is not caused by an error in the scripting and seems to happen completely randomly. If this happens to you, reload a previous save and try again.
- It’s possible to walk into the park after it’s been fixed even though you’re not supposed to.
- If you keep moving up into the park after Sherman tells you to stop, it’s possible to force your way in.
- If you put the Famicom on the rock thing before the dolphin, Shibe’s dialogue will loop.
- If you somehow talk to Bold without Shibe in the party, his dialogue will remain unchanged from when Shibe was in the party.
- You can get stuck in Sharpei’s stairs.
- If you take pictures of Crest but don’t talk to Malty before leaving Starpugs, Pom will say “that dum shibe” forever.
- If you take pictures of Crest and talk to Malty, the Puddle battle will loop over and over again.
- Basically, if you took pictures of Crest you’re screwed.
- It is possible to get trapped in Crest’s house (trophy and stairs)
- The stack of books will magically appear on the rock thing after speaking to Chi several times.
- The Bernard battle will happen even if you took pictures.
- If you speak to Bernard without having taken any pictures without Shibe in the party, the screen will turn black.
