powergyser Posted May 6 Share Posted May 6 (edited) Hey Just wanted to share this very rare game with all of you. A big THX to all parties involved. Extracted files https://pixeldrain.com/u/THeY2LZR Currently not playable. Only boots to attract mode. Argon is already looking at this so hopefully we can have this playable soon. Instructions: Go to HCV\HCV_APP right click on settings.csv and open with notepad change following: ,emulateIO,FALSE,, ---- to ,emulateIO,TRUE,, ,emulateSensor,FALSE,, ---- to ,emulateSensor,TRUE,, optional: Full English language version: ,destArea,JA,, ---- to ,destArea,AA,, Add custom resolution 1360x768 in your graphics card utility Run game with HCV.exe Edited May 6 by powergyser 9 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Team WildWolf Posted May 6 Team Share Posted May 6 There were 2 topics for the same game, now merged as one What is the Arcade sytem Hardware for this one ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
powergyser Posted May 6 Share Posted May 6 Perhaps @ducon2016 could take a look at the files as well...thx Here is some new insight. Using the same settings that I have posted on the actual arcade cabinet boots the game without dongle...but it locks you out of all button presses. Can't even enter the test menu. Could be that this is preventing us to get access to the debug mode?? @argonlefou 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TeknoNecro Posted May 6 Share Posted May 6 (edited) "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. Edited May 6 by TeknoNecro 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hinzoto Posted May 6 Share Posted May 6 Hope JVS emulation soon based in PC Mouse / Wiimote / PSMove. Also, hope no TP at all, but free control emulation. :) 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
THE RETURN OF HBP Posted May 7 Share Posted May 7 This is freaking amazing!!! I never thought I'd see the day we would all get to play this. Easily one of, if not, the rarest wanted game out there. Simply incredible!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I mean, he literally said he wants to preserve it for everyone. There's not alot of them around. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mike669 Posted May 7 Share Posted May 7 (edited) the gameplay seems similar to infinity blade(with a mouse)so I believe the inputs for it are doable too but probably very hard since its not like an ordinary shooting game Edited May 7 by Mike669 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I hope smooth, non DRM and special love letter with controls for this. It will be a patreon game don't expect it will be a Public one lol. You still have a joker, just wait if Argon can make magic with DemulShooter... and last thing, patreon status is not forever for games, sooner or later it will happen for everyone...just be patient. If you're not patient and you don't want to be patreon, that's another problem... the preservation status is already there since the dump is already accessible to everyone... il y a 36 minutes, arcadeaddict a dit : Isn't the Action Deka using the same type of motion control? not exactly the same, it is a whip motion controller like a wiimote controller. It will work without any problem with Lightgun, but the best will be probably a wiimote. And Caslevania have only movement + 2 buttons ingame, it is not the same mess like Action Deka lol, too many buttons in Action Deka ^^ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Team WildWolf Posted May 7 Team Share Posted May 7 easier I don't know but less thing to fix as inputs yes. Ducon or Argon and other hidden people are a fantastic alternative you know ^^ curious to see there is only 2 playable characters in the selection screen from Reaver... I looked into the data, and if you look my How To play video there are 3 Characters : - Vampire hunter with a whip - Lady Gunner with a sword - Mysterious Girl with a spell book and witchcraft You can see here in how to play video data : 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
