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

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.

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?

Just finished re 4 for the first time

Atleast 8 of those 46 kills is because i just cant ride a fricking jet ski okay

Anyways this ones the best up till now, i like the story the most, it was really diverse with the locations compared to the other games and i loved how i could just throw a rocket launcher at the bosses and theyd just die instantly cus i dont wanna retry boss fights 1000 times. Oh and the voice acting was more fun

Its only 1am i still have time for re 5

Different shapes of gourds

Im definitely no expert on this topic so I hope my question sounds atleast kind of correct

Im going to Argentina and Brazil this summer and I really want to buy a bottle made from a gourd but when I look it up or look at recommended stores online they only sell cups. I can find pictures of it online but most of them have chinese characters so I assume I won't find those in Argentina. Are bottles just not a thing in Argentina or am I searching for the wrong thing?

What type of sea star is this?[canary islands, la palma]

I thought it was a luidia maculata at first but their surface is flat and their lines seem to be more defined. It reminds me of an 11 armed sea star but I dont know for sure

I would love to know what type of sea star this is:)

(Sorry for touching it, this was a while ago and I didnt know better)

Key and statue 10 in carnevale

Okay so just before you get the tenth statue there's a part where you need to sneak past the kin and hide beyond a box. In every playthough the kin only looks at the box before looking away as you hide behind it but for some reason when I play he walks to the box puts a key there that I cannot reach and when I try and get statue 10 its not there and theres a door with a lock on it. I'm so confused I can't find what to do online

How do I stop playing notes when removing my fingers

When I remove my fingers it makes a sound, probably because my fingers are sweaty or sticky but washing them doesn't help and the sound is really noticeable. How do I fix this?

It's not cus I press too hard btw

Sorry if this is a messy explanation I don't know the right terminology or English lowk

Hi! we're two students from a highschool in the netherlands, and we're here with a question. For our school project we need to build a organic reactor, using a source of glucose and yeast. We're not allowed electricity and the size of the reactor has a max of 1.5 liters. Our goal is to produce as much CO2 as possible in 20 minutes, and we're allowed to use *any* materials. We want to make this assigment more fun by abusing that last rule of our project and just seeing how much we can produce!! Any ideas or help would be appreciated a lot!
