Failing to get past main menu in Kamidori (a visual novel)

[Jjenia]

So I've got Kamidori Alchemy Meister recently, because apparently an english patch for it came out.

Obviously I can't even INSTALL the game without japanese locale. With japanese locale, it installs fine.
Before applying the english patch, I attempt to run it. It starts fine, showing me the main menu.
I click New Game, and the game starts. Some scenes shows along with some text, and then the screen goes dark and the game crashes with a crashdialog.

So I apply the english patch, hoping it would MAYBE stabilize the game.
That causes the game to crash whenever I click something on the main menu - as in, after clicking, the transition to the next menu completes, and then there's a crash dialog.

Any ideas for what I could do to get this to work? I'm pretty desperate!

Does native quartz help? (Install it with winetricks. http://wiki.winehq.org/winetricks)

Tried it now! The problem stayed the same

Try winetricks devenum.

Done! That didn't seem to help either. I got a pair of access violation messages partly in japanese with a "yes" or "no" right before reaching the main menu. No immediately caused it to CTD, but yes allowed me to continue, although it still crashes in the same place it crashed before for either version...

(This installed still has quartz installed, I assumed I shouldn't make a new one)

Tested again with version 1.5.31, now it crashes before the main menu appears Much earlier than before.

Output WITH them

I believe I can contact the people who patched the game to english - Is there anything I can ask them that would make identifying the problem easier?
