To update
If you use the installer version, please select Customize Update Checker on the Help menu, and set the Include preview versions in order to update automatically to future preview versions. Preview versions are also available from the links below or on the Previous Versions page.
Direct Downloads
Note: When downloading the MSI installer, security features such as Microsoft Defender SmartScreen may temporarily block the download. This can happen because the digital signing certificate was renewed only a few days ago and has not yet built enough public reputation. If you see this warning, it is safe to continue the download. After downloading, please verify that the digital signature is signed by “Emurasoft, Inc.” The email field in the new digital signature is “Not available.”
Notes: The preview version supports only Japanese and English (United States). In other languages, new features may not be available.
