FAQ

  • If you are using a personal version and have any questions, where should I contact?
    For personal version, there is no special support BBS like the corporate version.

    Instead, basically we are preparing a "community BBS" where users can help each other.
    Matchlock's development staff also responds with an empty look, so please use this place.
