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

MEGA reupload link: https://mega.nz/file/2JcEjA5a#hXSHBw5MjR5_0IDBKtvOrGRU7pF-dBqMxkKTXB_doaA

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

Tried setting this up with the changes in ForceFeedbackWheel.xml and input.xml but everytime I press a key on the title screen it just changes to "Finding Server..." and gets stuck there. And I also have no idea how to start a stage on the game or set the credit type to free play.

You'll need a serial port on your computer for the game to work, or else it will cause "Failed to initialize communications port" error. If your computer doesn't have one, use a serial port emulator (like Virtual Serial Port Driver)

Reflec beat limelight is not supported with current version of Spicetools (15th June, 2020) at the moment. Wait for a newer version of Spicetools.

I wasn't able to run this on my Win10 laptop. At first it gives me an error about some audio related stuff, but even after disabling the audio hook it still doesn't want to load with the error message "F:avs-ea3: entry init failed" Does anyone happen to encounter this problem?

From what I've heard, Reaver tried to emulate this on TeknoParrot but the game wouldn't boot and crash for whatever reason So it's not playable yet. Maybe in a few years time

Just extract it to the folder and replace everything (for the movies it only adds the missing one)

No, it only missing a few videos, but it will still play fine with the videos being replaced by the background dancers instead

I have the repaired working version of MDX-2018102200. Tutorial/download: 1) Download DDR A (20181022) (https://mega.nz/#F!zcgBmICY!JPDfyQ2HIxif06DH8SY54A) 2) Extract the files. Make sure all the rar files are downloaded or you won't be able to extract it! (WinRAR will complain about RAR corruption if the rar files are not complete) 3) Download the file fix as zip (https://mega.nz/#F!01dGhQLL!OKqulDGWvHSD5V2u5DMHPQ) (movie fix, ea3-config.xml fix, and SpiceTools already included) 3) Extract the file fix to the DDR A folder 5) Use SpiceTools to launch the game (gamestart-spice.bat). To configure your controllers launch spicecfg.exe and modify your settings from there Note: - SpiceTools works with Windows XP, 7, 8, and 10 just fine. - Please note that the 18-01-2019 (latest) version of SpiceTools will not work on Windows XP, only the 4-11-2018 or earlier version of SpiceTools will work with XP - BemaniTools will not work on XP/7 since it crashes the game after attract mode/after you choose a song (it will crash to desktop on XP). Though it works fine on Windows 10 (Windows 8 untested) The replacement video files are pulled from the 20180423 update since these files on the 20181022 update are corrupted for some reason. Tracks that include corrupted video files (like Onegai darlin) will still play fine, though using generic on-screen dancer background instead. Regarding specifications required for DDR A, here are the specifications used in the actual cab of DDR A: Motherboard - Ennoconn ADE-704A CPU - Intel Celeron B810 (1.6GHz) RAM - 2 GB DDR3 SODIMM GPU - Radeon E4690 (equivalent to Mobility Radeon HD 4670) OS - Windows XP Embedded It should work on most PCs, doesn't matter too whether you use Windows XP/7/8/10 it will also work too. Despite most Konami games having issues with non-Radeon GPUs (shader-related problems) like DDR X series and some of beatmania IIDX games, this one doesn't seem to have issues running on non-Radeon GPUs (like Intel HD/GeForce). If you have network problems, make sure you have only one network adapter in your computer. The eAmusement participation emulation (like ealocalserver) will not work if you don't have a network adapter installed, so make sure you have one Have fun playing DDR A! - BemaniWarrior, 2019

I have one, DM me for link and tutorial

The game is 64-bit hence it won't run on 32-bit systems
