Idol Hotline - Nakayama Miho no Tokimeki High School (Japan) (DV 11) (Disk Writer)

Getting Started

When you start the game, you are greeted with a title screen and then a series of all-Japanese menus. The core loop involves navigating a text-heavy interface where you make choices about daily activities, interactions, and events related to Miho Nakayama's high school life. Use the arrow keys to move a cursor or select options, and press X (A button) to confirm your choice.

Since the game is entirely in Japanese, a translation guide or familiarity with kanji and kana is very helpful. Early on, you may need to experiment with menu options to understand the flow. Typically, these FDS simulation games use a calendar system where you advance through days, managing stats or relationships. The B button often cancels or backs out of a menu.

If you are new to FDS titles, remember that the system requires a disk side change at certain points, which the emulator handles automatically. Save data is stored on the disk image, so you can continue your progress in later sessions if the emulator supports persistent disk saves.
