As before, your patches work great! Thanks again! It's even simpler now!!

This is how i have mine. The structure in the archive link is correct, except for the arcadedefs folder. That's in the root of my play install.

You didn't have to do that, but thanks! It's all working now! 👌

No problem, i'm running portable folders for all games now got frustrated with things breaking randomly when i was testing various games. I'll use the older Dolphin for the Japanese version. It's much better!

With the 10/2/2023 version of Dolphin, this will error on the Japanese version of MKGP2 at startup, it gives an invalid write error, it's this line here 0x800741F0:dword:0x98000025 Removing it will get past the error, but removing it causes the game to suffer the slowdown again. If you press ignore error, the game still slows down. Using portable dolphin with deleted user folder to start with. Just an FYI. my japan iso crc32 is 8038e555

Go into the test menu and disable the camera. It will get you past this. Known issue, workaround is posted here

I see, it's one of the L+R buttons. I didn't have it mapped to controller. Thanks for confirming and thanks again for all your other work, even though some of the patches are no longer needed, still appreciated to get things where they are and playable.

Gekitou Pro Yakyuu Mizushima Shinji All Stars vs. Pro Yakyuu (Rev C) no longer requires any patches to run with 10/2/2023 version. Are you able to test your version to see if the Gekitou button works? I've mapped all the controls but when i goto the test menu, it seems there is a button that doesn't get mapped "Gekitou" which translates to "Fierce Fighting"... am i missing something with this game? Can you fight?

I just realised this on MK1, i was testing to see if the patches were needed anymore and MK1 at least still has the slowdown after you start a race. I tested for 2 races in game with your patches and they still fix the slowdown issue and don't seem to cause any other issues. So Mk1 with your gecko patch is still the way to go if anyone is wondering.

Todays build fixed the unkown game ID for the baseball game! I also noticed that you can skip the 60 second check on MKGP1 by pressing the item and cancel button. Not sure if this is new for this build. https://crediar.dev/crediar/tools/-/tree/main/dolphin

Strange, i just tried it on a fresh windows 10. New download/unzip of 2/2/2023 dolphin from crediar. Set Triforce controller setting, applied gecko patch. I get the same Unknown Game ID error. It's not a big issue, just a minor thing. Did you compile your own version of Dolphin? Maybe the code has been updated to include the game id but the binaries supplied haven't been updated.

The same one from archive.org decrypted folder, using only the gecko patch, no other patch on the game. Gekitou Pro Yakyuu Mizushima Shinji All Stars vs. Pro Yakyuu (Rev C).BIN I renamed the file to iso. I get "Unknown Game ID: 58474254, using default controls" I can click ignore for this session and it goes away. The file md5 is e074c698e358786013383fe36bc8fcb3

Gekitou Pro Yakyuu Mizushima Shinji All Stars vs. Pro Yakyuu works for me, thanks for your work on these patches, really appreciate you sharing these! I get an unkown game ID error when launching using the 02 02 2023 crediar Dolphin, but i can just click ignore and it goes away and the game starts fine. Will do some more thorough testing later.

All working here, run them from c:\rawart\gamefilesgohere Some can go inside a sub folder inside c:\rawart, some can't. Some will run fine in sub folders, some will have weird bugs from my testing. You can patch it so you can use other folders, it's more work though, and a bit of a PITA unless you understand how. Patching works on some games, not on others... for me at least. Just get a slight issue with superbikes at the start of the race but haven't tested a lot to try and fix it yet. An example if you have snowboarders in a folder not c:\rawart, the game starts but you can't take off from the start line.

Thanks for the info! I figured it was something like that.

I spent some time with this game a while back. Changing the force feedback wheel required from 1 to 0 in the config of the original dump will get the game going, there's a bunch of junk in the previous upload. A lot of the sounds are missing from the game, if you have a look in the sounds folder there's a lot more call outs when you are playing than you hear. I'm pretty sure that those callouts are coded to play on a speaker that's in the headrest of the chair. Possibly like BG4 where it has the surround system but if you don't have the right hardware/patch it won't play the sound out of the rear speakers properly. It's a very bland experience without the additional sounds. the game is a bit average anyways, but with the extra callouts it would at least be a bit less... bland. I've tried playing around with the rear channels and seeing if i can get any additional sound output but no luck. The original OS is XP, and the sound subsystems are very different between XP and Windows 10. If anyone has Windows XP installed somewhere, test the game out on XP and see if you can get some callouts going. There should be callouts in attract mode talking about putting credits in, there's a whole series of them, and also in game when you have the nitro it should call them out as well. You could also image the original dump to a drive and make it boot to see if there's anything specific needed, most of the XP os install is in the original dump. I could be wrong, but there's definitely sounds in there that don't work. Checkout \data\sound\Attract\ just as an example, these should all play in attract mode.

That game needs a D drive and sv fix disabled in jconfig. Use a USB stick, set it to D and try again and see if it saves. If you have the save redirection checked in jconfig, it also won't save. You can also use subst in a launch script to map a folder as your D drive. Google subst command subst d: C:\pathtofolderhere\ something like that will also work. Set the difficulty and defence levels to 8 while you are at it, your game will improve in no time!
