TeknoNecro

We (jcstahl1) and many others are more than willing to help people.... but please... PLEASE do a minimum effort before asking where is the ROM? or how do I do X?

 

The majority of time, these things are already posted just waiting for you to discover it for yourself!

 

There's a small group of people (working diligently behind the scenes) who have and get these things ready for releases and do their best to provide for the community but then it's like a slap in the face when it's provided in the appropriate place and then everywhere else but the appropriate place, people are like "where is it?"

 

Consider the community fortunate that these IT games archives have been so readily available to the public.  It took some effort to assemble all the IT archives and get them to the few who would/could spread joy to the community.  It's not always been the case when something gets supported that the archive has been set free within minutes / hours.  Sometimes it's taken days or weeks... anyone remember Point Blank X and how long that delay was?

 

We should all thank jcstahl1, seems lately he's one of the most generous suppliers of good/correct archive sets.  Also he's been decrypting a Unity game or two.... All in good faith and yet we have "snakes" posting patches and add-ons for profit based off of his generosity.  It's reprehensible when a bad actor takes advantage of those who wish preserve out of the goodness of their hearts.....

Come on dude, a minimum amount of effort on your part... check the last post here:  

 

 

Seriously... minimum effort...

 

@connor stop tagging people like Big Denny, what are you like 14?  He did his part already, it’s not a protection related issue, the issue is with the 3D graphics. Most likely it’s a shader issue, the 3D stuff is fogged out but 2D graphics are fine. Compare the current graphics to something like Hummer without it’s shader fix. You, like everyone else will just have to wait. You are NOT helping the scene by calling out people for help, especially when you have no idea what you’re talking about.  Someone with the skills will address it when they have time.

It’s working now with the latest updates.  It does need the wkwin32.dll from the original HD’s Windows/System32 directory.  I’m not 100% sure if it also needs wkwin.dll from the Windows directory too.  It also uses the old Intel Indeo (I think) video CODEC.

Hi nosoucy62!   no I do not.  But there was some talk that they are working on it for TP.    Hopefully.   I hear it’s much better than Night Hunter After Dark II.  

This archive is going to be encrypted and not the same as any future TP playable version. The exe and I think some DLLs are packed/encrypted that can only be unlocked with the game dongle. I only know 2 people with the skills that have access to the needed hardware. While they were working on it, there’s been no more mention of progress. Maybe they cracked it, I don’t know.  But it would be a great Christmas gift for us all…. But until then we’ll have to wait to for the "workable" archive to be released.  If it wasn’t encrypted, it would already be playable in TP or DemelShooter or some other way.

The I/O program code is inside 2 protected MCUs that would need professional decapping / glitching before they can be dumped.  Once dumped, replacement parts can be programmed and they I/O can be restored to fully operational. However, being so rare it’s unknown if the owner is willing to risk it and loan out the chips in the first place.  For TP, if the code were to be dumped, it would be best disassemble the 8051 code and HLE it.

Doesn't seem that game.bin is decrypted.  It's encrypted just like "game.bina" was in the GT06 Live dump.  If you load game.bin with a hex editor, bytes 0x01-0x04 should be "ELF"  Here the first byte is 0x64 and then clear plain text (c)2004 and Incredible Technologies Inc.  The "64" is the offset of the actual data for the decrypter program.

 

Just thought I would point out you'd still need the decrypted game.bin file later. 

 

If "all" currently dumped and available versions of Jurassic Park are made public, there's a chance a one of the newer of release will also be supported as well.  Maybe even a later version that has native support for 1080p....  then maybe 00C0FFEE would take an interest in adding a newer set, who knows, but it has to start with publicly available files for the rest of us.  Just a thought

 

Seems pretty basic, go to your Supermodel directory then to the sub-directory Config and edit Supermodel.ini search for these 2 lines:

 

RefreshRate = 60.000   (towards the top of the file)

Throttle=1    (near the bottom of the file)

 

Make sure it's set to 1 and if you're using a frontend make sure it's not sending the "-no-throttle" command.

 

All this info is readily available at:  Supermodel/Docs/README.txt at master · trzy/Supermodel · GitHub

stop begging for ROM links... don't ask us, ask google.... seriously spend 2 seconds of effort.

 

BTW: "jules" posted about it on this very page, read up about 13 posts.

The HDD Image has 3 partitions with the game on it. No idea which is the right one. Get them all and report back.

 

Looking at the 3 different partiions:

 

All the files in partition 2 match what's in parition 1 in the directory "/D22" and partition 3 "/UP/JAA" except boot.exe is missing from partition 3 and has the extra file d22050419.svv.bak file.

 

The partition 3 file contains the /SAVE directory and looks like it contains a few useful files like bookkeeping.sav, bookkeeping_playdata.sav, coin_options_sav, game_otpions.sav_ io.sav, ranking.sav & sound_options.sav  The olthers might be boot logs????

 

On partition 1 in the root is "select.exe" which likely selects a specific partition based on the health?  Just a guess....

 

 

"destArea" is for the copyright regional warning:

 

JA = Japan
AA = Asia
EA = Europe
UA = North & South America
KA = Korea
CA = China

 

There's no regional copyright warning for Europe and the AA, KA & CA countries run the No e-AMUSEMENT card compatibility in the country.  Europe and North & South America gives you the Castleviana The Arcade title screen / logo.  Looks like the game also support French & Spanish beside the normal English and Japanese. Though I haven't been able to get far to see evidence of it.

 

Exit with ESC key.

He's talking about ViRuS-MaN and his site. He's a prolific poster and strong supporter of emulation and TeknoParrot.

 

 

Google virus-man teknoparrot  🤪

 

Also... many people are willing to be helpful... but please don't be "that guy" and right off the bat ask where do I get this ROM, how do I run that game. Take some time and read through some of the forum posts especially those under TUTO and HELP. Help yourself a little by educating yourself. Not to mention there are a TON of Youtube videos on how to setup specific gams with controls and light-guns.  And before you ask about it, you'll need to use a VPN and "connect" from outside of the US to make the most out ViRuS-MaN's site.

 

 

This is another Unity based game with the file structure IE: Shooter/Shooter_Data/Managed/Assembly-CSharp.dll

 

File names, types and general structure are similar to Wild Western Shootout.

 

I know other members here have had luck removing Dongle checks by modifying Assembly-CSharp.dll

 

Let's wait and see if anyone has any luck with that.

 

Aliens Armageddon

The easiest thing to do now that you have the whole archive, is use the ResChanger and select an appropriate 4:3 res like 1600x1200 or something.  That would take a few seconds to do and basically it’s the same thing I would do.  Hopefully that should take care of your widescreen issue.

 

TN

Here's an all in 1 package:  http://www.mediafire.com/file/okqti95t4iez39q/Aliens_Extermination.7z/file

 

Includes full game, ResChanger, Aliens_MouseEnabler.exe, the DivX install, other useful information.

 

aliens dehasped.exe has been patched by me to remove the directory dependence or hardcoded drive locations.  Unpack to any directory and  copy the directory "aliens" where you want it.  There is even the AHK script in DATA and a pre-edited prepacked 4K version in a 7z archive.

 

TN

Aliens Extermination:

In game controls:
  5 - Enter service menu
  6 - Select highlighted menu function
  9 - Selection UP
  0 - Selection DOWN

To insert credits:
  left side CRTL  - Coin 1
  left side Shift - Coin 2
  left side ALT   - Coin 3

NOTE: There is no known built-in way to quit back to Windows.

Command line options:
  -noavi
  -nooverload
  -log
  -win
  -message
  -full

 

To change resolution:  Use Aliens_ReChanger.exe

 

  or make the following Hex edits:
    Vertical:
        0x2E91A:58 02  [originally 600 dec/0x258 Hex (change to 70 08 for 4K)
        0x2EA6A:58 02
        0x2EAA2:58 02
    Horizontal:
        0x2E91F:20 03  [originally 800 dec/0x320 Hex (change to 00 0F for 4K)
        0x2EA6F:20 03
        0x2EAA7:20 03

This game uses AVI files in DivX format. In order to run 100% correctly, you'll
 need to install DivX drivers (https://www.divx.com/en/software/divx/ or google divx60.exe).

NOTE: You must use the file name   aliens dehasped.exe   for compatibility with programs looking for that specific
      file name, like Aliens_MouseEnable and DemulShooter

 

Playing with the mouse in simple step by step:

 

Step 1: Make sure your aliens executable file is named "aliens dehasped.exe" (without the quotes of course)

Step 2: Extract the Aliens_MouseEnabler.exe to the same directory as your aliens dehasped.exe file

Step 3: Launch Aliens_MouseEnabler.exe first, then aliens dehasped.exe

Step 4: Enter the service menu by pressing 5
        using the 9 key for UP and 0 key for DOWN
        Highlight SYSTEM TEST MENU and press 6
        Now GUN GALIBRATION is highlighted, so press 6
        Now press 1 for the GUN CALIBRATION for PLAYER 1
        Move mouse left until  PLAYER 1 GUN LEFT  reads 0      -  Click left mouse button to accept
        Move mouse right until PLAYER 1 GUN RIGHT reads 65535  -  Click left mouse button to accept
        Move mouse up until    PLAYER 1 GUN UP    reads 0      -  Click left mouse button to accept
        Move mouse down until  PLAYER 1 GUN DOWN  reads 65535  -  Click left mouse button to accept

        You should now have crosshairs at the bottom of the screen that will track your mouse movement

        Press 6 to exit the Gun Calibration screen
        Press 0 until you highlight RETURN TO MAIN MENU, then press 6
        Press 0 until you highlight RETURN TO GAME, then press 6

 

{  While you where in the service menu you could optionally change the game to FREE PLAY  }

 

Start playing!!

 

NOTE:  If it doesn't work repeat steps 2 through 4

NOTICE!!  - Do NOT run DemulShooter in conjunction with Aiens_MouseEnabler!  It will NOT work.
            These instructions are ONLY for playing the game with mouse / keyboard.  If you
            want to use this game with light guns (or WII controller) then you'll need to run
            and set up DemulShooter.

NOTE: There is no known built-in way to quit back to Windows.  You'll have to force it with the Task Manager.

Once the game is working correctly use a simple Auto HotKey script to run everything and add the ESC key to quit back to Windows:

#SingleInstance

Run, "Aliens_MouseEnabler.exe"
Run, "aliens dehasped.exe"

Escape::
    Process,Close,aliens dehasped.exe
    Process, Close, Aliens_MouseEnabler.exe
    Run,taskkill /im "aliens dehasped.exe" /F
    Run,taskkill /im "Aliens_MouseEnabler.exe" /F
    ExitApp
return

 

Save the above script to the DATA subdirectory and launch that to start you game. Or add in your specific directory information to place the script anywhere

 

For the speed of the game, it's tied to the sync of the monitor.  IE: Running through a HDMI 1.x is only capable of 30fps (frames per second) so the game is at half speed.  Standard monitors at 60fps it runs perfect.  If you have 1920x1080 at 144fps it'll be way too fast.

 

Works perfect on the latest version Win10 64bit (the 20H2 update) and at 4K res.
