Are you a Teknoparrot subscriber? All of their online services now require it, even if the game itself does not.

Just don't ever update that TPUI or will require subscription if you do. It's not really a secret. When After Dark got added, they forgot to actually add the subscription requirement so it worked without sub until Pocky pushed an update. So it's just using that particular version of the TP software that you can never update or it will then need a subscription. So it's not some special version that someone made, or hacked. Just an old version that the TP team made a mistake when they pushed the update.

no. you need TP and a subscription to play. It appears to me that TP has implemented the dongle emulation from within own their software instead of being an entirely different decrypted exe or game files, so it's possible it may never be standalone unless another dev would get and decrypt the dongle themselves.

Test Menu works fine here. The button you set for Test is used to enter Test Mode, and also used to select the option. Then the Test Menu Up/Down moves through the options, and changes the value after selecting the option with Test Button. set coins to zero, and continue coins to zero. Then save & exit. If you can't get that to work, you can edit the coin.ini and change [CoinSet]Coin=0 and [CoinContinue]Coin=0. Game is probably locked to 30fps and the game physics could possibly be affected running it higher than that.

No, you still need TP with a subscription to play.

Google 4gb patch and it's the first link. Also, for anyone that has static/hissing in the audio, install this to solve it. https://github.com/Nevcairiel/LAVFilters/releases/download/0.79.2/LAVFilters-0.79.2-Installer.exe

still shows CRC error with TP.

A talented developer would really be needed to actually get this playable at some point. TP team has already stated they pretty much have no interest in touching it.

You'd have to use a program like anitmicrox to change the buttons with xinput. not sure if that would effect the rumble though.

I just keep separate emulator folders for each game. less hassle IMO

You can't. The game has a built in limit of 300 uses per card. Since there is no way to use two cards at the same time via TeknoParrot, so unfortunately you're out of luck. I'm more amazed anyone has actually played that game 300 times to find this out.

No.

the plugin did not include BepInEx at all. the readme literally says you need to install it. I should know. I wrote it.

then you didn't install BepInEx correctly. you can't just copy the BepInEx folder from another game. you need to extract the entire x64 BepInEx package from their GitHub into the game folder. follow the readme included with the plugin.

pretty sure the readme even says to calibrate in test menu 🤦🏻

probably doable with using joy2key or similar software, or an AHK script.

if you use the smaller dump with BepInEx included, it won't work right with Teknoparrot unless you delete that BepInEx folder. The other dump will not work standalone until Argon updates Demulshooter for full support and you add the Demulshooter plugin, but it work perfectly with Teknoparrot without any modifications. This is another reason why the smaller dump with Argon's beta plugin should have never been leaked early. Now there's a lot of users who aren't as computer savvy that can't figure out why their dump doesn't work right with Teknoparrot or why their dump won't work standalone. Post clean dumps people!

seems the comment I originally replied to was deleted.

the game is launched with the missionimpossible exe. you need to use Teknoparrot or Demulshooter to play it.

We certainly do not want that to happen.

Now added to TeknoParrot free for everyone

My original comment was not intended to start any drama. I was merely pointing out that the original link was missing files. Having clean & complete dumps helps save issues & confusion. If someone uploads a dump, but it has missing or added files so it works with loader X, might mean that dump won't work with loaders Y or Z. If it's just a clean dump, then people can add or delete whatever files for whatever loader they want. So with that said, here are two links to the complete dump. No files from Argon/Demulshooter are included. This first link has all game & shell files with the exception of the backup folder being removed since it is not required for gameplay whatsoever, and eliminates about 7GB from the full version to save hard drive space. https://gofile.io/d/asJl53 This second link is for ONLY the backup folder for those who want the full dump of the game. Extract so the backup folder is beside the shell, GameData, launcher, etc. folders https://gofile.io/d/APQMSd

This dump is incomplete and missing files & folders that may be needed for official Demulshooter support (currently only has a beta test plugin) or Teknoparrot support. Download and use at your own risk, and just know you were warned if & when you have to redownload the correct complete dump. Test menu is not functional and works via the shell.exe & associated files & folders.

no. none of the Incredible Technologies games are out of subscription as of yet.
