Not that it matters for playability and works with TP, but this dump is missing the shell folder/files. i personally like having things complete lol

game is still a WIP. sound is one of the current known issues.

the patch & dll from TP discord are already applied. https://pixeldrain.com/d/KDvQSrCh

This is currently an issue for quite a few people in the discord. So I doubt it's your chd. Do you have an AMD cpu? It seems alot of the people that have the issue have one.

so far from what i've seen different people comment in TP discord about Offroad Thunder, the common thing seems to be AMD cpu with people getting the initial boot bios text, then black screen, then close.

it's in the MAME set as "offrthnd" just extract the chd with extracthd and then use 7zip to open the img and extract the first partition. doesn't work yet even if you use the above patcher.

Quote from the dev of the standalone plugin: "One of the PCs I tested the game on has an old Intel i7 4th gen K-series CPU, and it worked perfectly fine. So the latest BepInEx seems to run well even on really old Intel CPUs. Not sure what the issue is, but it’s super easy to recompile it against an older BepInEx version if needed."

Standalone, ready to play version: https://pixeldrain.com/d/nQYj2zDS -credits to bigdenny for the dump, and retrofan for making the bepinex plugin and getting it working! NOTE: This is configured as an x86 game, and will not be supported by Teknoparrot. They chose to use the x64 files, so you'll have to find those on your own, and I will not provide help in converting it. X-Input controls listed in the readme. Rumble supported. Forgot to include keyboard ESC quits the game.

it's almost like people should download them and then reupload elsewhere as a mirror 🤔

I was on this same track last night. just couldn't pinpoint what version. would mind sharing your dll files? using this version directly from the fmod site still gives a version mismatch error in the logs for me.

the dump is not fully converted to Windows Unity, it's missing some dll files and the correct mono package. even with the correct version of those files, it doesn't boot past the Raw Thrills logo and then just and endless black screen. will most certainly need the assembly c sharp patched or a BepInEx plug-in to bypass the dongle check. I tried the ones for Nerf and TMNT and it's the same results.

Yes. Works with segatools but you need a server to make it playable.

it's not lost. the dump is freely available. just not playable. without the dongle, there's no way for anyone to decrypt the assembly.

yay 🙄

they're nothing wrong with it. just don't need a new version added every month, or even every other month, when there's plenty of other games they could be focusing and working on.

Pocky said today in the TP discord that the issues with this game are due to a recent Windows update for both 10 & 11 (same update that also caused issues with DariusBurst). She is working on a fix but it should be a few days.

There's still no dump of the dongle. Without that, there will be no progress.

10th gen - up Intel CPU I'm guessing? There's some things you can try, but no guarantee it will fix it. You can try setting process priority to low and CPU affinity to 1 core for the cxbx-ldr.exe, but sometimes that is not enough to fix bootup gacha and you might need to do extra steps Courtesy of Frail on WME: Here's the method that I used involving the usage of Process Lasso: Step 1: Initial Step, Press Win + R to open Run window and type powercfg.cpl to open Power Options., Choose any power option you don't use, you can either use Balanced (if you don't use it) or Power Saver (if you can't find it, it's under Show Additional Plans), click Change plan settings on the right side of the power plan., Click Change advanced power settings, and on the next window find Processor power management., Click on Maximum processor state and change the setting to 70% or below., Click Apply, and then OK to save changes and close the window., Step 2: Process Lasso, Launch Cxbx and run the game, keep it running., Open Process Lasso and find cxbx-ldr.exe process, right click on it to show several options., Go to CPU Affinity, select Always, on the next window uncheck everything. Then, only check CPU 0 and CPU 1. Click OK to save changes., Next, right click cxbx-ldr.exe again and go to Application Power Profile, select power plan you just modified from Step 1 above., Changes should apply automatically the next time you ran the game. Now you can close Cxbx., Relaunch Cxbx again and try launching the game to see if you have succesfully entered the game's bootup screen. If bootup screen does not appear, keep relaunching Cxbx until it appears., If bootup screen appears, go to your Taskbar Tray Icons, find Process Lasso tray icon, right click on it and change power plan to your default power plan., Game should run properly., The next time you launch the game it will apply the setting you set on Process Lasso as long as Process Lasso is running in the background (or it's Core Engine). You just need to revert to your default power plan everytime the game has succesfully entered bootup screen. Pros and Cons of using this method Pros: Changes apply automatically and easily switch power plans with just a few clicks., Cons: Process Lasso is not free, and it doesn't entirely eliminate bootup gacha, only reduces the chances of it happening., Who is affected from this Bootup Gacha? For now only users with Intel CPUs newer than 10th Gen is having this issue. AMD CPU users does not seem to have this bootup gacha issue even on newer CPUs. If you're having this issue consider doing the method explained by dmr above, or this Process Lasso method.

This is actually Groove Coaster EX and it should be noted that the exe is still encrypted.

because the exe files included are not from the final game version.

no. currently TP with a subscription is the only way to play these games outside of real hardware.

Yes this is the current/final revision of the US game. Neither jconfig or 1CC are dead. 1cc is still active and jconfig just recently pushed out a loader for Cooper's 9.

Most likely will be added to JConfig and/or Teknoparrot in the near future. Should be completely ready to play once it's added to either, if not this link will be updated as necessary.

theoretically, yes they should just have to add the CRC for it for it to be playable.

I'll post a properly arranged dump taken from the vhd & files you posted, later tonight
