Below are a collection of links to compatibility lists for Japanese games with AGTH. In the lists located in the provided links, you will find which games are compatible with AGTH, which are partially compatible, and which are incompatible. I will briefly explain what is meant by these terms:
Compatible with AGTH - This means that AGTH can extract the correct text from the game and send this text to Atlas for translation with no problems. Sometimes certain commands must be used with AGTH in order to make the game compatible, and these settings are listed.
Partially Compatible with AGTH - This means that it is possible to extract all the text from the game with AGTH, but it cannot be sent correctly to Atlas, usually because of line break issues or the name of the speaker not being separated from the game dialogue. In the case of issues with line breaks or system characters getting inserted among the text, the lines would have to be copied to a word processor such as JWPce, the line breaks and any unnecessary system characters deleted out so that you have matching text with the game dialogue box, and then you'd have to highlight it from the word processor and copy it to the clipboard so Atlas can translate it. In the case of the name of the speaker not being separated from the game dialogue, you have to highlight the text in the AGTH window after the speaker's name to send the dialogue correctly to Atlas, otherwise it will try to somehow translate the speaker's name into the dialogue, messing up the translation.
Incompatible with AGTH - This means that AGTH cannot extract the correct text from the game. It may be able to extract text but with missing characters, which can be repaired using a /h parameter (if someone has the programming know-how to figure out the correct parameters for the particular game), in which case the game would then be compatible. If a correct /h parameter has not been found, then the game remains incompatible. Also, if no text at all can be extracted from the game, which can be the issue if the game is using some sort of internal images for the text or on certain gaming engines, then the game is incompatible. Another instance of incompatibility is if the game can only run on Windows 98 or lower, since AGTH is not compatible with that operating system.
There are so many bishoujo games, there are no comprehensive lists that literally list every game and whether it works or not with AGTH. However, there are a few places you can check for game compatibility lists:
Game Compatibility List @ AGTH Website - As stated on the site, this list has not been updated for a very long time, but it does provide a listing of many games and if they are compatible with AGTH, and if any extra commands are needed for compatibility. This list is so old that AGTH has had many revisions since then, so some of the required options may no longer be needed, or those games that have missing characters in AGTH may actually be compatible now with /h commands.
OTH Game Compatibility List @ Hongfire - Before AGTH, there used to be a different text hooking program called Oh! Text Hooker. This compatibility list is for Oh! Text Hooker, but is included here because anything compatible with OTH will also be compatible on AGTH. However, note that OTH and AGTH work very differently, and just because a game is listed as incompatible with OTH on this list, it may still be compatible with the far superior AGTH.
Game Compatibility Lists @ BLGHQ - My AGTH thread includes a comprehensive listing of /h codes for games, making it a great place to check to see if a game is compatible with AGTH using a specific /h command. The thread also includes a compatibility list which is certainly not comprehensive yet, but does provide compatibility reports for many games. It is updated with new titles occassionally as compatibility reports become available.
