Mesa for Windows should theoretically work, but of course, you need a somewhat powerful machine...

Well, other than that, I have no idea what else you could try. I don't have a Steam Deck, so I don't have anywhere to test. I'm sorry 🙁

Mesa is hit and miss, it works for some games but not for others and plenty of artefacts at times. The Vulkan or DX12 backends are fairly fast, but not a perfect solution either way.

A very clear example is Teknoparrot. Games based on Sega Lindbergh (Linux) use OpenGL.

With an AMD card, it's impossible to run all games without any problems on Windows! Some work with the old drivers, while others with the new ones.

You can put opengl dll in the Teknoparrot folder and it should work. It was fixed a while back. Which dll do you put in which folder?

I will try to see if there is a way to dynamically load different versions of atioglxx.dll without changing the system files. I am busy this week but will check next week maybe since I have the same issue and did not think previous atioglxx.dll would work better. AMD drivers are garbage, that is why now I only buy Nvidia. But my portable device is AMD, so I have noticed some of the issues you mentioned.

Great work guys! This is amazing

Coucou @ducon2016;

Merci d'avoir fait une version moins buggée que celle que j'avais fait a l'époque sur github lol;

Tu as pas trouvé par hasard comment ouvrir le menu de service arcade ?

Le code de la version arcade est le meme que le binaire windows mais j'avais pas reussi a trigger l'ouverture du menu (quand tu regardes dans le désassembleur tu vois bien les sections qui gèrent GAME OPTIONS etc...)

Ça permettrait de faire la version parfaite comme l'arcade avec tous les reglages types parties difficultees etc:

 

 

Je viens de regarder et si tu lances le jeu sans patch, il suffit d'appuyer sur la touche S dans le menu pour changer les options, elles sont sauvees et marchent quand le jeu est patche.

Thanks !

I've been able to run pacman battleroyale on batocera (namco 2x6 system). For now, I think it's 1 player only (as batocera doesn't have the latest version of play!).

I've been chasing the perfect pacman battleroyale version for a while: I like playing with 9 rounds and long timeout, so:

1) in rpcs3, you have a version in which you can access the settings menu, but there's a awful bigborder in the game

2) on switch emulator: (namco museum+): the display is ok BUT the dev didn't put a settings menu (congrats dev ! good job, really...): so I'm stuck with 5 rounds. I've tried to use cheat engine to change the nb of rounds + timeout. It's probably too difficult for me. My ultimate goal was to create a mod (cheat) for yuzu/ryujinx... with 9 rounds and long timeout (if anyone is interested in this challenge, please do it !)

3) this one may be the best option. It's for a cocktail table, but if I can manage the 4 players, that could be it.

 

You can patch the PC version of Pac-Man Museum with a hex editor.

Offset 1AB995 replace 75 0A by 90 90

Offset 1AB99D replace 03 by 07 (or the number of rounds you want minus 2)

Sorry to reactivate such an old discussion but the link to the loader in the first post is dead.
I searched the web and couldn't find version 1.5.
Could someone please share it again?

I updated the link on the first page

salut ducon2016

 

c'est une très bonne nouvelle malheureusement pour le moment le projet est assez complexe à mettre en place....j'ai regardé et il faut pas mal de pré-requis spécifiques.

il faut une xbox360 sous certaines conditions + HDD + cables + jeu......

le plus simple est de croiser les doigts pour que quelqu'un fournisse directement ces versions recompilées pour utilisation sur PC.

merci pour la news

Fitgirl a un torrent tout prepare qui marche tres bien.

https://www.google.com/search?q=fitgirl+sonic+unleashed

I have nothing to do with the project, just sharing the very cool project:

https://github.com/hedge-dev/UnleashedRecomp

Unleashed Recompiled is an unofficial PC port of the Xbox 360 version of Sonic Unleashed created through the process of static recompilation. The port offers Windows and Linux support with numerous built-in enhancements such as high resolutions, ultrawide support, high frame rates, improved performance and modding.

Lots of Taito-GN 2011 arcade dump

 

Cool. Anything new? Many of those seemed to exist already in other dumps before no?

Hey gang, I'm a bit confused by this instruction above. I'm playing on a big screen TV not a cocktail table, so I want the non rotated version, but the instructions are saying to rename these .dll files to the same name as .dll files that already exist in the folder when I unpacked the RAR file. If I remove either .dll file the game just loads normally, rather than straight into Battle Royale. If I try to rename d3d9-norotate.dll to d3d9.dll, it wants to make a copy called d3d9.dll (2). Does anyone know what you need to do to un rotate it, please?

 

You don't need those if you play on a TV, I recommend using my patch. Loads faster, less files, no crashes, and less weird AHK random issues.

The new version posted has the black screen issue, you need to get the original archive.

Examples: https://igg-games.com/ or bluemedia garbage links or megaup or many others

1. Install pop up / pop under /  layers blockers. I use firefox and two addons AT THE SAME TIME since they block different things: https://webextension.org/listing/popup-blocker.html and https://popupoff.org/

2. Install Tampermonkey https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/tampermonkey/

3. To deal with Megaup garbage install this with Tampermonkey: https://github.com/rejaad/Easy-MegaUp/raw/refs/heads/main/Easy MegaUp.user.js

4. To deal with Bluemedia garbage install this with Tampermonkey: https://greasyfork.org/en/scripts/423435-igg-games-bluemediafiles-bypass/code

Will post more as I discover. Please feel free to share the ones you use.

I've tried MegaUp and I get the blue Create Download link, but after several site redirects, the downloadable file I get is the one in the screenshot. And for browsers, I've tried Chrome, Firefox and Edge on my laptop and I've tried it on my phone using Chrome and Firefox.

If you use the popup blockers I mentioned this is what you get. If it changes the page to an ad, just hit the back button and click create download link again until it works.

If the links work as you say they do, then why not post a direct and working link please.

Because I am confident you can do it. And when you will have figured it out, you will be able to download more things on your own. Only thing I can confirm is the megaup link works 100%, so you are not wasting your time.

Also the game is available in many other places if you really cannot make this one work, I verified it is available on https://g4u.to/

and on https://igg-games.com I suspect you will need popup blockers for those too, and as usual some links need to be clicked up to 5 times until you get the real link.

Is there a way to disable the need to register our phone number? No other discord does that, and I cannot participate in the emuline discord since I will never register my phone.

MegaUp doesn't work either. It gives the option to create a download link, but it goes through several pop ups and redirects until finally allowing a download of a 24.5mb files.

Use a popup blocker, I use PopUpOff and https://webextension.org/listing/popup-blocker.html

with Firefox and the links work and download. You might need to click a few times to get the right download.

Bottom line, free stuff needs to jump over hurdles but it is free. You can also buy the game on steam when it is on promo it is cheap.

None of them work. They're all dead.

I just tried and the last link (MegaUp) works. So follow the steps I explained.

Thanks, but unfortunately the Google link is dead same with the other two links. Any chance you could upload it to Google and post a link please?

Try all the other links until you find one what works. Sorry I never share content.

BTW, this is what I get with the decode. It's just garble.

You did not follow my directions. I told you to only keep the text AFTER url=and BEFORE &type=2

so you will see: https://somethingsomethingsomethingsomethingsomethingurl=THIS IS WHAT YOU KEEP&type=2somethingsomething

Example

1. Copied link from the website https://clk.sh/full?api=1a83dc23a56e37f8d4635da35fc71e6a9e912db2&url=aHR0cHM6Ly9kcml2ZS5nb29nbGUuY29tL3VjP2lkPTFWbWJBejJGVEQ5b0xJaGk3X2RyekNFUGlURmNSLUNXOSZleHBvcnQ9ZG93bmxvYWQ=&type=2

2. After the step I recommended only aHR0cHM6Ly9kcml2ZS5nb29nbGUuY29tL3VjP2lkPTFWbWJBejJGVEQ5b0xJaGk3X2RyekNFUGlURmNSLUNXOSZleHBvcnQ9ZG93bmxvYWQ= is left

3. Decode what is left with https://www.base64decode.org/ and you will get a link that starts with https://drive.google.com/ for this example

Hi, could someone please post a working download link please? The above links redirect to malware pop up sites.

Right click the Download and copy the URL. Only keep the text after url = and before &type=2, you should get something like aHR0cHM6Ly9kcml2ZS5nb29nbGUuY29tL3VjP2lkPTFWbWJBejJGVEQ5b0xJaGk3X2RyekNFUGlURmNSLUNXOSZleHBvcnQ9ZG93bmxvYWQ=

This game looks like it could be decent!

 

@ducon2016, is decrypting the dll something you think is possible without the dongle?

No sorry. Pure encrypted code.data that needs to be decrypted before being used. If someone has the dongle that part should actually be easier to decrypt than the .exe. The Unity executable has no idea what the Assembly is without decrypting it.

Yes the code is encrypted and there is a pop up HASP when you launch it. We need someone who has the dongle to decrypt it.

There are builtin controls :

 

Edit the "Game.ini" file from the Shell.exe folder and add changed the [Debug] section to the following :

 

[Debug]
ForceTicket=1
UseMouseController=1
NoVerify=1
SecurityDisabled=1

 

If the game is set to FREEPLAY OFF : you need to focus the Shell.exe windo and press [Y] to add a credits

Then switch to the game window and the mouse click/movement will be enough to play

 

To access the TEST menu : just close the game window.

The Shell will then display the TEST menu where you can change COIN option to FREEPLAY if needed

 

To change the keyboard keys used for SERVICE/TEST, simply edit the config.ini file, also located in Shell.exe folder

Thanks Argon, great work. Here is a wrapper dk2win32.dll that enables quitting the game (ESC but you can change it) or just closing the client to go to menu (TAB but you can change it), remaps the folder so you can move the game out of the root directory, and automatically dynamically patches the game (no need of the patched executable anymore).

1. Copy dk2win32.dll and dk2win32.ini in the shell.exe folder

2. If you moved the folder, make sure you edit AssetDir in game.ini (Do not edit the other paths)

3. Run the original shell.exe

As usual the full source code is included

dk2win32-v1.7z

The executable is protected by hasp. We need with the dongle to decrypt it. Maybe @bigdenny can help if someone can provide him the dongle.
