Yes, I always download the newest version from here. I'll usually uninstall first with the previous installer. Then install with the new installer. Except this time, nothing happens. All 3 EXE's do nothing. And now no EXE from any version will do anything. Even if I blow it all out. Delete everything. Start from crash...the INIs wont populate. It's like the 3 EXE's are now blacklisted from my computer. Yes, I added the new EXE's to the exclusion and yes, I've even turned off Defender.

I'm in the same boat. No clue what happened. I tried updating to 379 and now it wont run at all. The config process starts then just shuts down. Tried going back to my older version and it wont work now either. Tried other older versions and none of them work either. GL just wont work at all now on this machine. Loaded up a new machine, installed 370. It works fine. Then updated to 379 and it did again. It wont run and now GL is completely hosed and wont run any version. Windows 21H1.

According to my notes all I do is use JConfig to setup controllers then launch the game with NESiCA_Unlocker.exe. I would have used my XArcade stick via XInput at the time. Yeah, I don't know what's going on with TP. Ever since a couple months ago I've had nothing but mouse issues on both of my systems. Whenever I go to register input the region for the mouse goes haywire. It drives me nuts when trying to setup my Sinden Gun. I resort to manually editing the XML files.

Well, mind you this was a long time ago. Back then this was the only way I could get the game to work "well". TP has obviously advanced since then. So no, this is not definitive. However it still worked well for me today....er yesterday.

Here's my ReadMe for it. I followed these on a brand new Win10 2004 machine. Still worked fine. Extract main game into folder of choice. Main game path - disk0\elf Impliment Update C Impliment crosshair Impliment missing test menu files Impliment shader fix From within "HOTD4 game.exe for Game Loader All RH.rar" pick a resolution file. This is a pain, for my 4k monitor I had to pick 1080 in order for the bullets to hit my crosshair and have the game centered fullscreen. Setup game in TeknoParrot Executable - disk0\elf\hod4M.elf Select FreePlay, OffScreenReloadHack and UseMouseForGun. Extract executables from "Game Loader All RH 344.7z" into elf folder and run the config app. Windows Size Tab - Monitor Resolution - Input 1920x1080 and click enable. I'm guesing this must match the executable resolution. Update Rate Tab - Update rate Mouse Cursor Hide - Uncheck Enable. Loader Settings 1 Tab - Make sure it's properly pointing to TeknoParrot. Load game with "Game Loader All RH.exe" Left Click - Fire Middle Click - Grenade Right click - Reload

Link is dead again. Does anyone still have this lying around? Or know of a more permanent link? Thanks!

Thanks for that! I kept getting the DVD error. Had nothing to do with a virtual drive, it didn't like my physical DVD at all! I had to physically remove my drive to get the game to work. This fixed it. Bummer about the Nvidia warning. That happened on my 2080Ti. Way too slow to play. But the vertical limit removal is good enough. Can play in 4k with just some slight garbage around the window.

Yup, that's the one I got. Strania - The Stella Machina V1.1.zip Ah well, chalk it up to OS or DirectX incompatibility I guess. Thanks!

So odd. That didn't help either. I re-extracted the dump and only brought over JConfig.exe and iDmacDrv32.dll (tried v1.5 and v1.7). Setup Jconfig (with and without DSound). Tried WinXP, Win7 and Win8 compatibility mode. It just refuses to bring up sound effects. What version of Jconfig are you using? Thanks, I appreciate you looking into it.

Ah ok, thanks!

Strania - The Stella Machina V1.1 Is it normal for this game to be missing the sound effects? I have background music, just no sound effects. Tried with GL/JConfig/NESiCA Same outcome with each scenario. Game plays great. Windows 10 1909

Weird, so the same exact thing happens no matter what loader I use. GL or JVS. Everything runs fine until I setup any controls. If I go in and rename xinput1_3.dll the game of course works again, but then again no controls. Anyone else come across a game just not liking any form of xinput? The loaders seem to use it no matter what you select in JConfig. It's set to dinput and if I select so much as one keyboard key (exit) then poof, multiple files can crash with xinput. But again, only this game. Edit: And the crashing is definitely specific to that Ragnarok DLL.

Lets Go Island 3D (Game Loader, JConfig, TeknoParrot) In case anyone else has half ripped out their hair over this game. With TP I could get English but could not get any controls to work properly. With JConfig I could get perfect gameplay but JPN only. No English. Game Loader and JConfig caused nothing but crashes. Probably because they each needed different LGI.exe's. So my complete solution to get this to work was: Add game to TeknoParrot Select LGI.exe as executable Select FreePlay Select UseMouseForGun Leave everything else off Do not setup controller Launch the game within TeknoParrot once then exit. You need to create TeknoParrot.ini in the game folder. Without this you wont get mouse or English (this is probably what's tripping up all the folks in the past in other threads about this game). With Game Loader in the same folder as the executable, launch Game Loader Config (I used 368) Update Rate Tab - Update rate Mouse Cursor Hide - Set to 0 and leave Enabled Save and Close Launch game with "Game Loader All RH.exe" Left Click to Fire Right Click to Start (and Skip) Perfect gameplay, English and 3D is turned off. Also, no need to edit config.ini or data\Fraw\fwDataDB\fwDataDB_AM.txt

Having issues with Theatrhythm Final Fantasy. Extracted the dump Applied the patch (no errors) Extract GL 368 near game.exe Put JConfig 1.5 (also tried 1.7) near game.exe Put the Ragnarok iDmacDrv64 DLL near game.exe At this point I can run the game. No controls yet. Go into JConfig and setup only the start and coin buttons to my keyboard. Nothing happens in the game. Can't start or add coins. Go back into JConfig and configure start and coin to my 360 controller. Game crashes: MSVCR120.dll caused an Access Violation (0xc0000005) in module MSVCR120.dll at 0033:143ec522. I also get DmacDrv64.dll caused an Access Violation sometimes. Both of those files are crashing witrh xinput1_3.dll Delete all that and try again. Apply patch, extract GL 368 and have it output it's own files. Exact same thing. Take a step back and see what TP does. Extract dump, apply patch. When I setup controls for either XInput or keyboard I get nothing. Can't start the game. The only button/key that does anything is Coin as I can hear it adding coins. Other than that none of the other configured buttons do anything. Can anyone please shed some light as to what's going on with this one?

Thanks for pointing me in the right direction. Now I got it. As mentioned I tried all the keys. Come to find out pressing these doesn't work. But pressing and holding for a split second work. WTH? All other keys work the instant they are pressed. Same deal on multiple machines. Anyway, got it working. Many thanks for your help this week. With 5 kids on summer break early I'm trying to get a lot of this up and running for them. They got bored with my newly updated MAME 220 set quick. How dare they not appreciate the classics!

I do not understand these 4 games at all. Every single other LD game I have works fine. But these 4 have nothing but problems. I've tried multiple ROM sets, multiple video sets. I even tried the official licensed download via Daphne and unlocking them with my DVDs. They don't work either. My issues are many, the games will randomly pick scenes to play, when I die it'll advance to the next scene (well, any scene really), audio cuts out when actions happen... Are you launching daphne.exe yourself? What command line options are you using?

Thanks! I missed the text under that changing it to 0. I'm such a dolt. Any idea about the paddles? Game is kind of pointless without them.

Had a heck of time getting Too Spicy up and running. Looks like I only have a couple issues left. 1. How to use Left/Right paddle? If I specify in TP it gets ignored. Not specified, I tried every button on my keyboard. Nothing triggers it. 2. Anyway to disable the mouse cursor? 3. The top and bottom of the screen are cut off a little. Not a show stopper but a little annoying. Here's my notes on my setup: Setup TeknoParrot to launch - disk0\elf\apacheM_HD.elf Check FreePlay and UseMouseForGun Uncheck everything else Extract Game Loader All RH (all three files) into the elf folder Setup Game Loader: Game Loader Config.exe "Other 3" tab By enabling "portable mode". Run the installer then go back into config. Specify "TeknoParrot" by pressing "Loader setting 1" tab "Select folder" button. In the window mode, set "Monitor resolution" on the "Window size" tab to "1280x768". Update Rate tab, set Update rate Mouse Cursor Hide to 0 and Enable. 9 to add coins (every time you need to add a coin you have to spam the 9 key) 1 to start Left click to Shoot Right Click to Hide and Reload Launch - Game Loader All RH.exe I'd appreciate any help, thanks!

Cool thanks! I am, just in case I come across that again for some other game. I've seen other people reference the "home page" for it.

Got it working fine with TP. However in case I come across this again (as I've seen it before) what exactly do you mean by " From the Gameloader ALL RH front page"? Where is this? I can't find a source for this app. Just random links all over the site to specific versions. Thanks!

Can someone please reup the V3 loader? GL works ok but the mouse is too fast. Does the V3 loader let the mouse work better like launching the game directly? The mouse works much better that.

Thanks for that! I have no clue what I was doing wrong. Even with todays version of TP I could not get this to run at all. Then I went down the JConfig rabbit hole and it kept crashing. I dunno, maybe unzipping it again is what helped the most but you just took all guess work out of it. Cheers mate! EDIT: I was trying to get the bezel working with GameLoader but when I use GL it seems to ignore init.ini??? I get the flip issue, horrible resolution. I told it to use JConfig. Are there any other settings to specify in GL?

Yes, videos are playing. Windows 10 1909.

Thanks for that, that got audio working! For the videos, I had to register the files, whatever that REG file is doing, didn't do the job right. regsvr32 C:\Windows\SysWOW64\ir41_32.ax regsvr32 C:\Windows\SysWOW64\ir32_32.dll regsvr32 C:\Windows\SysWOW64\ir41_qc.dll regsvr32 C:\Windows\SysWOW64\ir41_qcx.dll regsvr32 C:\Windows\SysWOW64\ir50_32.dll regsvr32 C:\Windows\SysWOW64\ir50_qc.dll regsvr32 C:\Windows\SysWOW64\ir50_qcx.dll I think only the .ax file mattered but I did them all anyway.

I'm in the same boat. Win10 1909. At first the game crashed with some D3D error. Once I did the supplied fix the game started. I get to the SR3 main logo screen, it says Insert Credit(s) and nothing responds. Wont work for Keyboard or xInput. Run TP as admin or not, same thing. Win 10 1909 TP 194 UI 372
