-To run a ghost, a baseware is required. A baseware is a program that runs ukagaka, and serves as a sort of interface between the user and the ghost. There are several baseware, but [[baseware:SSP]] is the standard since all other known baseware are terribly out of date. See the [[info:baseware]] page for a list of other baseware.+To run a ghost, a baseware is required. A baseware is a program that runs ghosts, and serves as an interface between the user and the ghost. There are several baseware, but [[baseware:SSP]] is the standard since it is the most developed baseware as of writing. See the [[info:baseware]] page for a list of other baseware.

For Mac and Linux users, it is usually possible to run SSP via Wine, though with occasional odd behaviors. For Linux, see [[guide:running_ssp_on_wine_with_linux|Running SSP on Wine with Linux]]. Despite running a modified version of Linux, Chromebooks running ChromeOS do not have a known way to run ghosts at this time.
  
-If you do not have a computer, you might have some success trying the baseware Ukagaka for Android (which you can find on the [[info:baseware]] page), if you have an Android mobile device. However, note that it is not compatible with all ghosts, and as mentioned, any baseware besides SSP will be out of date and likely missing many features. +Ikagaka, a browser based baseware, functions on desktop and mobile web browsers. However, full functionality on mobile is not guaranteed. All other baseware publicly available run only on desktop.

-If you do not have a computer or an Android device, then there are currently no known ways to run ghosts. Also note that Chromebooks running ChromeOS do not have a known way to run ghosts at this time.+

Once it's finished, you can double click the ssp.exe icon (which should have a bow and bell design) and SSP should start, displaying a ghost of a catgirl named Emily.+Once you have made your folder, move the SSP installer exe that you downloaded into it, and run it.

-No, not unless you find it listed under our {{tagpage>Translated}} tag.
