Shall we begin?
Hi there good people, hope you are in good ways.
Sharing with you our fav game since (what?) 2008 ready for direct download, "install it" and ready for play on win 10 or above OS without lagging (thanks to dgvoodoo tool).
Now please read the next "instructions" for enjoy the title
Of course any problem, suggestion or just a cheer, they are always welcome:
0. May you need to re-read this instructions casue my english skills still are so ugh!!..
1. Download using your fav downloads manager (11 files almost 700 megas each one) and unzip with 7zip (almost 15 GB unzipped) BEWARE.
2. Drop the AG3 folder inside a new one folder called ILLUSION (only if you don't have any other illusion folder) and this folder (Illusion folder) place it on your HD "root" xample: "C:\\ILLUSION\\AG3"
3. Now execute the .reg file called AG3REG for "install" the game.
Note: May your HD has a different letter like "D" or "H" instead "C", in this case edit the .reg file open, it with notepad++ or any text editor and change the letter, xample: "INSTALLDIR"="C:\\ILLUSION\\AG3" >>to>> ""INSTALLDIR"="D:\\ILLUSION\\AG3"" and just save and execute it.
4. With this you have the game ready for play, you will see a bunch of exes of the game, the only one you need is "Artificial Girl 3 Make" (for make gals and clothes) and "Artificial Girl 3 Play" for play (just remember to create a world and adding some gals to this one, as xample the files included some gals and worlds for fast play/test).
EDIT: "AG3_Play_expansion" exe for play with subtitles enable.
5.You will see also different versions of the tool illusion wizard, you can use the one you like it, the old version or the new version for install your mods, of course theres no problems using the old one or the new one or both at same time.
6.The download files includes english subtitles which you can overwrite with your own language. Not sure if its lastest version, if you have a more complete version please share with the community.
Also includes a trainer tool, and others tools I'm still don't remember how to make them to work, sorry in this part.
EDIT: No need trainer tool, the d3d9.dll has included cheat codes for use in the game (ctrl+x).
----
Aditional notes:
If you prefer the game in another place or folder instead, edit the AG3REG file before all (points 2 and 3).
You also can change the way how the game will look since your hardware/setup editing the "d3d9_alt.dll" file with the voodoo tool inside dgVoodoo2_76 folder (make a back up of dll first) (do not delete any dll file)
The files downloaded includes the base game plus hannari expansion (full), and the very basic/essentials mods like maps (pack V7), optimization, subs, no dvd/region, uncensors, animations and "dlc" clothes. Also in illusion wizard tool you can found more mods ready for install (if you want). It also includes the files and exes "AG3MakeSelectv1.00" and "AG3_Ghost" both for make changes on girls, BUT the first one keeping saying "open ag3 make" so until now not sure if works (still searching for an answer).
In download section you also can find the files (NO LAG FILES + SUBS) for play without lag, watermarks and with substitles and fullscreen enable on game, this is helpful if you already have the full game and if you download the game from here too, it is an enhance update.

Feedback
Any error, problem please report it.
And thanks for your reports.
Q. The game keeps crashing/asking for some dlls files.
You need to install DirectX 9 and restart pc, here, this version (final) works good:
https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/download/details.aspx?id=8109
If you want install this too:
Microsoft Visual C++ all versions (recommend but no neccesary for play)
https://docs.microsoft.com/es-es/cpp/windows/latest-supported-vc-redist?view=msvc-170
Q. Dang! the game looks awful, WTH? LOOOL!
May your pc can't run very well the game (I doubt it) or just
Change the dgvoodoo2 and game settings/config for the ones "equals" to your hardware/setup.
Try using the lastest version of software (actually 2.77)
http://dege.freeweb.hu/dgVoodoo2/dgVoodoo2/
Then copy D3D9.dll file inside "dgVoodoo2_77\MS\x64" and place it in the same folder wheres the game exes are, remember to rename it to "D3D9_alt.dll" before or you will lost subtitles in game.
Q. With the Exe file included you can't create new worlds (some kind of write in japanese problem).
Use the vanilla one for this particular problem.
Q. After closing the game you will see "two desktops".
Press F5 for fix it.
Q.Can I share links in others places/ways?
Of course you can or better make a mirror of them.
Enjoy!
Q.Will you start to make mods?
I'm warming up!
Update.: Shameful I'd started december with no pc, sorry
