Bandizip® keeps Japanese file names intact when Extracting ZIP folders

Posted on May 27, 2016January 17, 2018 By Reggie_Dentmore 13 Comments on Bandizip® keeps Japanese file names intact when Extracting ZIP folders

A Feature Article by Reggie Dentmore on LearnMMD.comHow can I keep the Japanese file names when I download and extract new MMD models? Do I have to use Applocale to keep the file names from getting scrambled?

Bandisoft’s free Bandizip® software
lets you keep the original Japanese file names!

Over the years that I have been enjoying MikuMikuDance, the on-going bugaboo has been the scrambled file names that occur when you unzip a Japanese model… I have been using the 7-Zip/Applocale routine as my favorite method… but just today I was pointed to Bandizip.

Bandizip keeps your Japanese file names without running extra programs: no more Applocale!

Get Bandizip

Download the Bandizip set-up file and follow the defaults as you run that program. I opted to not add the icon to my toolbar… but I DID go for the desktop icon.

Use Bandizip

Using Bandizip is easy. Double-click the desktop shortcut icon… navigate to your zipped folder… Click the Code page button to select Japanese… and then click Extract. I just clicked OK for the defaults… and there was the new folder with the Japanese file names… too awesome!

Choose Japanese from the bandizip Code Page drop-down before you extract your zip files.

Too late for your existing models…

… unless you still have the model’s original zipped folder.

… and even so…

You will find that the model, when loaded, may still have the NULL bone names. That’s always a problem… but our xxBodger has a solution using PMDE and Google Translate.

Translate Japanese Models to English with Google Translate and PMDE

and also here:

Translate PMX models to English using a PMX editor

Bandizip… Fast and Easy…

Enjoy MikuMikuDance!

      Yes… translate those Japanese ReadMe files… how to turn that “scrambled” text into Japanese and then use Google Translate to see it in English.

      Yep there’s an easy fix: localize your PC to read Japanese characters.

    Wouldn’t it be easier to change your computer’s locale to Japanese? None of my file names come out scrambled usually.

      That’s a good solution too, but it’s not realistic for everybody– some people need to maintain their own locale, maybe to keep another language from scrambling.
