What does "install.reg" change?

[Mad]

What exactly does running "install.reg" change/do?

• BILLING_SITE and OFFICIAL_SITE is self-evident.
• ACCOUNT and PASSWORD is for the UserID (it overwrites any previously entered UserID).
• FOCUS_SOUND allows to hear the game sound even if the client is in the background (see thread). Or does it do anything else in addition?
• FONT_JPN sets the font for Japanese?
• WINDOW_MODE enables windowed mode.

But what about the other ones?

• CTRLBUF
• GRAPHICCTRL
• SOUNDCTRL
• ACCOUNT_CHECK
• WORD_WRAP
• INSTALL
• CLIENT_CODE
• OldCheck
• EXT0
• ACCOUNT_CTRL

You should be able to change most of those on the options screen. BB has a word wrapping function for the speech bubbles, which explains the WORD_WRAP entry. The GRAPHICCTRL entry probably stores your fog and low/medium/high graphics settings, while SOUNDCTRL stores whether you want to have BGM and/or SE enabled. One of the ACCOUNT entries probably stores whether BB is supposed to remember your login details or not.

FONT_JPN just holds the font (name) you use in pso, I keep it blank cuz tons of fonts look ugly in pso.

ACCOUNT_CHECK saves your username and password when it's set to 1
CTRLBUF holds Resolution, Color (16-32 bit) and V-Sync
GRAPHICCTRL Holds Advanced effect, shadows, enemies, maps, clip distance, fog type and frame skip.
SCREENFMT normal or widescreen mode
SOUNDCTRL bgm and sfx

You should not have issues (like pso closing right after starting) without these entries
BILLING_SITE, OFFICIAL_SITE, WORD_WRAP, INSTALL, CLIENT_CODE, OldCheck, EXT0

MS PGothic font FTW.
