Why is there a "english" flag in the game's download button, indicating that there is an option to change the language to English, when it does not have the option?

Thankfully the Win 10 fix worked (even for older windows versions) shame the game only allows up 1280x960 or so seeing that 4 allowed as high as 2048x1536...
Dgvoodoo doesn't change any of it either.

It actually worked, LividBunny... I can't believe after so many years of failed attempts trying to launch this game, it's finally working with your method. I can't thank you enough for this. The only thing I can do for you is to spread the method you worked so hard to find to those who also suffered the same problem as we do. You are a savior. Thank you so much.

Hey-Hey. So by someone's request on OldGamesDownload.com i took upon myself to look for this game and since everyone's having a hard time launching it I searched for a way and found some nice Chinese Text saying that it's either system patch KB3086255 fault (can't confirm if it's faulty or not since I don't have it installed) and you have to uninstall it, or you can change the registry on HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\secdrv "Start" to 2 then reboot and you should be able to launch it (confirmed).

According to Wikipedia,
"Dynasty Warriors 5 Special (Shin Sangoku Musou 4 Special) is another expansion to the game. This game was released on December 22, 2006 on the Xbox 360 and Microsoft Windows in Japan and shortly thereafter for Windows in Taiwan.
This version of the game is a combination of the original game and some Xtreme Legends features, including Legend Mode and Xtreme Mode. It does not include Edit Mode or Destiny Mode, but it does include the new items from Xtreme Legends. It includes gamepad support, allowing the user to use PlayStation 2 or Xbox 360-style controllers compatible with Windows.
The Windows version also has improved graphical features, such as real-time shadows. "
I couldn't find any record of this version for PC on Moby Games and Launchbox also didn't recognize it.

Readme file is in traditional chinese. Having Japanese and Chinese langs installed will help. Direct X is required also.

The readme is in some coded language. Says it runs on windows, but my research tells me we need an emulator to run this one. Would be nice if the uploader would include instructions in a human language!
