  Notes to makoto.dll

Ghost only shows   ?????????????????????????????????????????????????   in balloons - delete makoto.dll !
Only question marks to be seen - if you don't mind, let it be this way.
If you want to see Kanji, delete the file or for testing rename to -akoto.dll or else. Then reload ghost.
If this ghost runs with satori.dll, it may be there is a line in satori_conf.txt - delete line too or comment this line out. Otherwise you may get error messages. May be you get other error messages.   -.-
Well, it sure works with japanese Windows, but functions of this file have been overtaken by Shiori I think.
May be will work with additionally files like makoto.lst or something - if there ain't some, I think you will loose nothing except maybe some unspecific random talk.
I will not do separately patches for this, except for ghosts based on misaka.dll, there included in patches for Misaka.
Let's show an example...
 
  Menu displayed with makoto.dll implemented   (or still excisting) :   Menu displayed without using makoto.dll   (deleted or renamed) :

Comment: makoto.dll is something like a pre-shiori, used around turn of the century or very little later.   I think any Shiori, to tell about functions, can do it a better way.
Also SSP has been made a lot of progress too since then...
makoto.dll includes menu and events with scripts for these functions and some random talk.   So it is a dll, you can not easily change it using notepad like for dictionaries.
There are (+some few with other sizes):
