jpcmd - Japanese Command Prompt AppIcon

Latest Release Latest Release Date Total Downloads Creation Date Discord

A Command Prompt launcher that sets the codepage to Shift JIS (932) for proper Japanese program output.

All command line arguments passed to jpcmd.exe are passed directly to cmd.exe.

Setting the path to Locale Emulator's LEProc.exe in the config.ini file will allow launching the program through jpcmdle.exe to make sure all programs launched from jpcmd.exe keep their Japanese locale. If jpcmd.exe is running properly in the Japanese locale then the console title will be Japanese Command Prompt (LE).

The reason for the above feature is that even when running cmd.exe through Locale Emulator, the codepage will not be set to Shift JIS (932), making the output practically useless.
