Here it the first version, full source code included: MAGEIO-v1.7z Make sure you backup your original MAGIDEIO.dll, then just extract the one from the attached archive into MaDead\BppGame\Binaries\Win64\MAGIDEIO.dll Hard coded keys for now: 1,2,3,4,5,6 for the buttons 1,2,3,4,5,6. Tab for Start. WASD for the directions.

Success!!!! I have been lucky again

Thanks to my good friend FlyBit, I made some progress yeah

Yes same here. Made my own, just reversing is hard without the real hardware to track the handshake and values order, but it is doable just boring and time consuming. Even the keyboard works as a joystick already, only the GetUSBIOInputPressed needs to be handled. Three main ways, remap the unreal script, emulate magideio, or redirect usbio to other inputs. Looking at the easiest/fastest. Whoever gave you this has been ahead, looks like they had it working for months already. So it might take me time to catch-up, do not expect any fast results. Every game is not as lucky as Lost Land Adventure or Daytona :D

Yes that is one of the things I have been looking at

This does nothing, just makes the game believe that Nesica is working. But it is NOT, it was just in progress patch that I used to debug. That is why I did not share it, it is a distraction.

Yes I got that, but it does not help unfortunately. Here is the patch info below if you want to try, but again, it does not seem to help.

I tried to add jconfig it does not work for the I/O out of the box. You need to add the import with CFF Explorer to your .exe. Putting the dll in the folder does not do anything. But again it does NOT work as is.

Do not run RS Launcher. Run the game executable directly.

Not useless, I am willing to work on the Ghostbusters thingy when I am done with the Magician game

Cool. Then that is the real deal. Although if there is a dongle protection, we need the pros to look at it first.

Wow, if it is that is an awesome drop. I guess I really need to start my elf loader, or wait for Reaver to release his

Thanks for the drop. Is there any windows game in there?

I noticed there is a ghostbusters game in there. Is the THE ghostbusters shooter or another crappy game?

USB IO connection EXPLOSION lol. Glad I do not have anything connected lol

Patch information to get past the nag screen BppGame-Win64-Shipping.exe, offset 84E650, 40 becomes C3. We do NOT know yet how to make the game start. You can help us by fiddling with the Unreal config and script files if you want to help. You can set free play in the service menu, first option under the last Nesica option. Then change the option before the last to ON.

Yes confirming that my patch does not address that, sorry.

Follow the instructions and tell us exactly at which step you are blocked. No there is no additional level with this patch or any known patch. We need a new dump to be made public.

Amazing work. Thanks for sharing. Any chance for French or English or Japanese in the future?

Please remove links to commercial games. This is not a piracy site. This is a site for games lovers.

To make the U2 exe work offset 0xA2FB40, Byte 0x48 => 0xC3. Let us know if there is any visible/noticeable changes compared to the first version we got.

Upgraded the patch info to fix the continues not working after entering sub levels.

The PC version is almost impossible to find, and it is actually worth having thanks to improvements like background scrolling running at 60fps, enhanced shadows and others. It is possible to patch the demo and turn it into the full game. You can find the demo here: http://amiga.amedia-computer.com/document/battlesquadron/Install_BattleSquadron_Demo_Windows.zip Here is how to patch BattleSquadron_Demo.exe: Offset: 00009076 Original: FF Patch: 00 Offset: 000207F2 Original: A5 43 Patch: 00 50 Offset: 00030FFC Original: C6 80 84 00 00 00 01 Patch: EB 12 90 90 90 90 90 Offset: 000361ED Original: 0F 85 CF Patch: E9 D0 00 Offset: 000361F2 Original: 00 Patch: 90 You can remove some of the demo images by just deleting from the res folder: demo_ingame.png, demo_menu.png, demo_panel.png You can remove the facebook and twitter logos by deleting from the res folder: facebook_icon.png, twitter_icon.png

No problem
