[Arcade PC] Steel Chronicle Victroopers (Konami)

[Harry99710]

Steel Chronicle Victroopers Ver3.9 (KGG-2016062901)

 

 

Important

1. This is a touchscreen game, but SpiceTools also allows you to use your mouse if required. Game menu and some in-game actions will need to be clicked/pressed on screen.
2. There's no publicly known server supporting this yet, but the local server in SpiceTools (-ea) will allow you to boot into game mode and to play local matching and some default missions.

 

Setup

1. Copy spice.exe and spicecfg.exe from latest SpiceTools into contents
2. Create spice.bat with local server enabled (example contents: spice -ea)
2. Configure inputs with spicecfg.exe (Xbox360 style controllers works well)
3. When it prompts, go into service menu
4. Calibrate touch and analogs (it will guide you what to do), then set the clock
5. Enter game mode, insert some credits, touch the title screen and enjoy!

Is this game online / versus playable ?

As far as i know, one can only play the first level against bots ?

Somebody got a working .bat file ? (spice -ea does not work for me)

I get a error trying to load the game.

 

F:signal: end
I:rawinput: disposing devices
M:dxhook: SetWindowLongW hook hit
M:dxhook: SetWindowLongW hook hit
 

 

Anyone got some good information on how to get games to run with spicetools, dependencies, .xml files to edit ?

 

With the latest SpiceTools I get a load of other errors, with the same parameters in the .bat file.

i think we need working nvram files

Which are included in the /dev/nvram folder ?

 

No difference if Java is installed.

If I had this game working here, I would have already uploaded it to everyone, because those who don't know much about it, like me, is difficult. Do users here not understand this? It is just a suggestion.

@xtremebuga 

GameLoader All RH version 337 supports Steel Chronicle Victroopers.

EXCELLENT 

THANK YOU !!!

Now the game "runs" !!! 

 

I can choose a character, briefing mission, but when the actual game loads, it crashes. (Running at 1360 x 768, that could be the problem.)

Running with GL, setting 1@1360x768 on Windows size tab.

Yes, also for me. Only I played the tutorial.

@spiderzsoft Did you RTFM above, did you do the 5 steps ? 1,2,3,4,5 ?

[jonathanhooper]

im in just follow calibration settings on game go to test mode and fix >> << settings then it boots ./

@rdan_85

How can one load spice.exe with GL 337, with the -ea parameter, or how can one start a .bat file with GL 337 ?

No idea how to load spice.exe with the -ea parameter while using GameLoader All RH.

Is this the solution ?

 

With these settings I see this and GL stops.

What parameters in what files need to be edited, because there is no ea3-config.xml in the Steel Chronicle Victroopers folder.

 

When I add <services __type="str">http://localhost:8080/</services> to eamuse-config.xml and start eaLocalserver, GL tries to boot but crashes.

So I can run the game using RH Loader, unfortunately the game drops back to desktop after completing the first level. It seems quite fun, hopefully someone knows a fix

Yes runs really well but after the first level is complete after killing all the bugs and doing the upgrades the games drops out loading the 2nd level, does anyone find this happens too

Edited September 29, 2019 by fire10

[dex77]

Tested without RHloader and now works but without a save feature and online mode it's totally useless...

[Guest linglang]

@dex77 

That is what Reaver said, without a server / online mode, useless.

Local game serving does that work ? (spice.exe with the ea parameter)

@Kurzih Did you do all 5 steps mentioned above ? Did you assign a test and a service button ? Double check !

[fire10]

oh yea could be missing text files missing not loading ? ! 

[rdan_85]

It works by changing the system locale to Japanese in Region and Language - Administrative.

[athrun1234]

I guess this is my first post here, thought I have made another one somewhere else... oh well.

 

Thanks to everyone who made this game playable, my little contribution is bypassing the need to create a batch file (.bat) to run the game using Spice Tools. Since EA Server Tool can be loaded using a program arguement, there isn't any need to create a batch file instead you can use a program shortcut instead. Create a program Shortcut by right clicking Spice.exe and then adding -ea to the end of the Target: section, make sure you press space after the end of the directory listing.

 

 

If there's interest for it, I can edit a short video setting the game up with Spice Tools... Haven't really looked at RH Loader yet.

Well hot damn, that sure made the game playable beyond the tutorial and restored the missing Japanese text.

I can confirm the game works via a Japanese system locale or using Locale Emulator and using a modified application profile but you may experience occasional freezes or crashes.Thanks for sharing with us Harry and everyone involved.

If this doesn't work for anyone else, I apologize but keep on trying! ~Inari. 

 

[fire10]

Works perfectly thanks for sharing your findings

Yeah that's the one!

[Mindtwista]

i made a autohotkey (ahk) script to launch victrooper with the locale emulator and close with escape-key.
 

Zitat

 

run, "C:\Tools\Locale Emulator\LEProc.exe" -run "D:\Steel Chronicle VicTroopers Ver. 3.9\contents\spice.exe"

Esc::
    WinKill, Graphics
    ExitApp
return

 

 

you only have to change the locale emulator path & victroopers path to your path.

 

sorry for my bad english ;-)

[pablo3000]

I am trying to run, but without results, someone to help me please
