Some Jap Games in their resources have files with broken names, and off course not work. Locale emulation not helping. Anyone have idea how fix this?

I tried extract with winrar, bandzip and 7-zip but no difference
Don't think 7-Zip can do it, that's why I also have Bandizip that can be switched to Japanese. If it's extracted wrong, then archived again it is maybe forever gibberish. In that linked thread they mention the Unicode Fixer, not tried it though and the few times I've had the issue I'd find a different copy of the game.

I switch "language for non-unicode programs" (before extract) to Japanese and now all works fine. I think Unicode Fixer must work too. Thanks for help!
