Can you upload the HDD image clone to somewhere like Pixeldrain? What is the model of the dongle? That way we can help more

Can you make a clone of the hard drive and upload it to a file hosting site like Pixeldrain? Do you have a pic of the boards (motherboard, GPU, etc) as well?

Hey! I just got a word from someone regarding your Hero of Robots dump. Yes, it's possible to decrypt it although you'll need the real PCB (which is the IGS E2100 PCB with the Atom processor thingy) to decrypt the game executable, else you'll only get decrypted game files without the game executable at best. Some partitions are encrypted with a custom file system made by IGS themselves so you can't read them on normal apps; there is a way to decrypt them by modifying the Linux kernel and then extracting the game files that way. I know someone who can help to decrypt the game executable (and possibly emulate it since he successfully emulated Percussion Master, another PC-based IGS title). Do you have a Discord? Since I'm rarely on Emuline you can contact me on Discord at NovaCosmic00#1952 and we can talk more about this.

Here are the passwords for the zip files: MachineName.zip = Qoo9h2sd sound.zip = oo9h2sd move.zip = qq88bzzkk pic.zip = hpg88xy

I have been looking for a Percussion Kids image for a while now and the link in another thread is dead. Any chances for a reupload?

Just ignore the error, the game will eventually launch

Patch / crack doesn't work on Windows XP SP3, crashes before attract mode. This is bad as I want to keep the originality of the game running on Windows XP

I think I have this game on my older HDD, I'll try finding it.

@mes211Can you also upload the Windows Embedded image from this game too?

Managed to get Wasteland Racers 2071 working. To get the game working you need to edit both GameSettings.txt and inputs.xml ArcadeSettings.txt: change MotionEnabled from 0 to 1 inputs.xml: change <integer name="UseForceFeedbackWheel" value="0"/> to <integer name="UseForceFeedbackWheel" value="1"/> Since the game originally ran on Windows XP, you will need to run the game (Arcade.exe) as administrator. If you are using Windows 8 or newer (most of you will probably run either Windows 10 or 11), you will need to install the DirectPlay feature to get the game working. To get beyond the "Finding Server" screen you need a working internet connection and make sure you don't set the compatibility mode to Windows XP/7/8, otherwise it will stuck on that screen. If your computer doesn't have working internet connection, install Microsoft Loopback Adapter so you will have a working virtual internet connection and get the game to go past the "Finding Server" screen. VirtNet (https://www.ntkernel.com/virtnet/) is also a good alternative of Microsoft Loopback Adapter. Here's a video on installing Loopback adapter in newer versions of Windows: Change your resolution to your liking in the D3DLocalConfigData.txt. Tested both on Windows XP (SP3) and Windows 11 (22000.318) and it works fine.

Don't think it'll make a difference, since Windows XP always run programs on administrator mode. Edit: Even so, I tried running as Administrator and disabling "Protect my computer and data from unauthorized program activity" option, but it still stuck at "Finding server" screen.

Running the game here on my Windows XP PC, the game got stuck on "finding server" after pressing a key. Haven't tested the game in Windows 11 yet for the moment
