2. WALKTHROUGH
==============

This walkthrough includes path to get all endings and
reasonings behind the choices.

Reasonings behind the choices are given so that you can learn the
skill in playing h-games.

To put it simply, the way to get a best ending in a h-game is to
have a knowledge of cause and effect. (using this method, I
got the best ending in my first try through this game, pretty good eh?)

This faq also has optimal saving point locations and also how to get all the
CG in as few replays as possible.

------------------
Effects of choices
------------------

1."about teachers"
"morning's dream"
"just sleep"

This is a "choose choice until it loops, then choose another,
then go back to the old choices until you progress" kind of
choice, and I'll be listing them as (repeat choice)s. These
make no difference in the route you will take in the game.

2."lower shelf"
"middle shelf"
"higher shelf"

Repeat choice

3."wash beaker"
"wash test tube"
"wash flask"

Repeat choice.

4."It's a trick!"
"It's a mistake"
"Examine further."

Repeat choice (Bored? Don't worry, last one... for now)
H-scene with... yourself.

5."Enough for today" (Better stop in case someone walks in)
"One more time" (It would be a shame to waste the oppurtunity)

One more time gives you a h-scene with Natsumi, enough for
today just progresses with the plot. Regardless of your
choice, no change in endings.

6."look around"
"think about situation

repeat choice (not again)

7."Talk to Nurse Matsunaga" (Nurses should know about sickness)

-> H-scene with her. To Bad End # 6 (on the other hand,
do you trust a nurse with a horny streak?)

" ''  '' Miyagi sensei" (He understands you well)

" ''  '' Mr Terada" (He's your PE teacher, might as well explain to him)

-> H-scene with him. To Bad End # 5 (He's also a dirty old pervert
and he doesn't like you and vice versa)

If you choose Nurse Matsunaga or Mr Terada, regardless of your
other choices, you will get an ending with them, choose Miyagi-sensei
to progress through the game.

8."Restrain yourself" (She's helping you find a cure, better not try it)
"Go for it" (Can't resist...)

-> To Bad End #3 (You could at least show a bit of self-control...)

If you chose "Go for it", you'll get a h-scene, however, you will not
get to choose what medicine to drink (only green) in a later choice
and will get bad end #3, choose "Restrain yourself" to continue

9."Look around the bus"
"Get off the bus"

Repeat choice.

10."letter with picture of sea"
"  ''    ''    ''    '' penguin"
"pink letter"

Repeat choice

11."agree to model" (Miyagi sensei has been really kind to you...)

--> To Bad End #4 (on the other hand, you have to pose nude, and
even since this isn't the unreal pure and holy world that most games
are set in...)

"apologize" (You're really curious about the letter, and Miyagi
sensei will understand)

12."go to sister's room" (Better do what she says or
she might try something)

-> h-scene and go to B.

"don't go to sister's room" (Better not, you have a bad
feeling about this)

-> Skip the next choice. H-scene with Natsumi

13."cry out for help" (I can't let him have his way...)

-> To bad end #7 (since you are a stepchild, you're more likely
to be misunderstood...)

"give up and endure" (can't blow the whole thing up and make it worse)

-> H-scene with Seiji

14."go to art room" (you should repay Miyagi sensei
for his kindness...)

-> To Bad End #4 (same as above)

"Go to chemistry room" (you really want to be cured, and you
can repay his kindness if it's not done yet anyway.)

15."Look at green medicine"
" ''  '' red      ''   "

repeat choice

16."Drink green medicine" (Well, she said they are both the same...)

-> Bad end #3 (It looks like melon syrup in dirty water, geez.
Considering Satoh's personality you should know she's
up to something...)

" ''   red      ''   " (It smells and looks better)

If you did not restrain yourself earlier, you will only
have the green medicine to drink.

17."choose Satoh-san"

-> To good ending #2

"don't choose Satoh-san"

-> h-scene with Asuka. To true ending #1 (This is the ending that
X-change 2 continues on, so if you have only want to watch one
ending, watch this one)

This isn't a trick question, choose the girl you want.

Be sure to wait for the credits to end and click on the
Peach Princess/Crowd banner for an epilogue for these two endings.

Getting 100% CG, in as few replays as possible and optimal save points
----------------------------------------------------------------------

Choice 5:

Choose "one more time". Save the game after h-scene with Natsumi for 2
CG that is not in the CG gallery (explaining to Asuka and your parents.)

Choice 7:

Save. Choose Nurse, play until end, reload, choose Mr.Terada, repeat.
Choose Miyagi sensei and continue.

Choice 8:

Save and "Go for it" to get the CG, then load. Choose "Restrain yourself"

Choice 11:

Save and "agree to model" for the CG. Load and Choose "apologize"

Choice 12:

Save. "Go to sister's room", load. "Don't go to sister's room" then
"cry out for help". Reload and choose "give up and endure".

Choice 14:

"Go to art room" gives you the same CG as in Choice 11, so just choose
"Go to chemistry labs".

Choice 16:

Save and drink green medicine. Load and then drink the red one.

Choice 17:

Save and choose one, then load and choose the other.

There you have it, 100% CG!

Talk to anyone you want
"Restrain yourself." OR "Go for it"
"Apologize."
"Don't go to sister's room."

3. HEX EDITING
--------------

Are you a lazy (expletive) who can't even play the game a few times
just to get all the CG? Well I've got the solution for you! All you
need is a hex editor(I recommend HHD Hex Editor) and some basic
knowlege of Hex editing!

Open up C:WindowsXchange.dat (why does it save the CG data in that
folder?)

The CG flags are stored from address 1168 to 11B7, just set the value to 00
(for off) or 01 (for on), so if you wanted 100% CG, just set them all to 01

... or you can just download a cg patch which is very common for
these kind of games and save yourself the trouble.

4. Misc
=======

Q1: Can I avoid the bus scenes? They're sick!

A: Nope, sorry, these is one of the weak points of this game,
events that you MUST see each time you play the game.

Q2. Where can I get this game?

A: Peach Princess (www.peachprincess.com) has plenty in stock and can
probably offer you the best prices, since they're the translators. If
you're asking for the Japanese version... eh, I don't see why you would
want that, but try shop.himeya.com.

Q3. Why should I buy this game instead of others?

A: For the interesting gender changing theme of the game, especially if
you're a fan of Ranma 1/2. Also it's the cheapest, and if you are planning
to buy X-change 2 (which according to my sources, is supposed to have fixed
many of the thing people disliked in this X-change game), you might need to
know the characters by playing the first game.
