I ran into the same issue, however I figured out the solution!! You either have to make yourself .bat script or open CMD/powershell, navigate to the folder and type "spice.exe -w" Open spicecfg.exe, go to Options tab and set Windowed mode enabled, which will launch the game in windowed mode and will then work. No need for E or F drive, the crack looks like already counts on that and there is a folder named as such.
As for english patch. In "content/data/tex/system26" are these .ifs files:
card_j.ifs
cmn_j.ifs
gameover_j.ifs
matching_j.ifs
ms.ifs
ms_match_j.ifs
option_j.ifs
result_j.ifs
title_cmn_j.ifs
title_j.ifs
tutorial_j.ifs
These files I named hold the majority of text you encounter (imo, I went over all the menus i could find and it looks as such) and with ifstools can be nicely unpacked and repacked. If anyone has some spare time (and preferably knows japanese) could you try to translate? It doesnt have to be super pretty, just erase the text and replace with english equivalent (and somewhat decent font). Otherwise I will do it using google translate *someday* when i feel like it.
EDIT:
I did it myself a long time ago. It is horrible but at least if you didn't know what all the buttons do now you know. Just merge it with "data" folder of the game.
data.rar
