Exe file not opening because it cant read japanese?
Basically im trying to play this game that was only sold on cd or dvd idk but uh its expensive and modern computers dont have that so luckily there was exactly one twitter post mentioning the game(there were also like 2 japanese blogs about it from years ago that werent helpfull) and from some person in the comments i got a link to a site they owned ti play the game. So after that i managaed to play it and uhhhh i firgit about it eventhough it took me like 20 whole hours to fix the game and make it playable (it had corrupted and missing files and my computer couldnt read it and everything just took a while cus im bad at tech)
So today i decided to try and finish this game and uhhh i tried to play it on my old computer that i originally downloaded on and it didnt start.... so i was like "damn whatever this computer sucks anyways lemme try to fix it on my better computer that also sucks" so i copied all the files to my other computer with a usb stick and now i have this (translated from japanese) when i try to open the exe file

So i changed my region locale cus there were ither errors in giberish and last time doing that fixed it but this time it didnt and i have a japanese language pack downloaded too and i did the sfc scannow thing
TLDR
I got the error code The ANSI string could not be converted to a UNICODE string. It contains characters that cannot be interpreted by the current code page. Please check that the correct data is specified. The data may also be corrupted.
How do i fix this?
