Yep, can confirm the new the launcher and the patched EXE works like a charm. FFB now working nicely on my Logitech DFGT. Didn't need to make any changes to the shelldata.ini either.

Legend! Thanks for this. Was going to have a go at the hex editing at the weekend, but you've just saved me the hassle!

Merci Beaucoup gentlemen! Thank you all!

The Dropbox download link keeps failing for me, I've tried different browsers tried using that Jdownloader program that was mentioned earlier in the thread, but the download keeps failing at around the 800mb mark. Been trying since yesterday to download this with no success Would one of you lovely gentleman who's already got it downloaded mind re-uploading to MEGA or somewhere like that please? I would be extremely grateful!

I'm hoping with all the progress made on cracking these Raw Thrills games that H2Overdrive might get the same treatment some time soon.

I've played the PS2 versions of Silent Scope 2 and EX on my PC using PCsx2, with the joypad stick and buttons mapped to my mouse. I don't own an Aimtrak, but doesn't it basically operate in a similar fashion to a mouse? If you're a big fan of Deadstorm Pirates, Time Crisis 4 and House of the Dead 4, I'd recommend picking up a cheap PS3 and some PS Moves with gun housings.

Yeah, I tried that mon ami, I replicated everything the dude in the video did. TBH, it's not that big of a deal if I can't get it fullscreen, I'm just happy I've got it working at all. Next up is to see if I can get Dead Heat working in VM box...

I watched the video and used the exact same method to open the game using a custom resolution of 1280 x 720. No shader errors this time and the game opened OK, but it seemed to upscale within a big white border that obscured a large amount of the screen. It looked like although the game had upscaled the image, the playing window stayed the same size, meaning I could only see part of a corner of the screen. Ugh. Think I'm going to give up on this HD pack business and just stick to playing the game windowed in it's normal resolution.

Well, i downloaded garfield63's different resolution exes and dragged and dropped the 1920 x 1080 one into the Aliens data folder on the VM machine (after temporarily moving the old one into a different folder first), but when I tried to launch it I got a shader error. Hmmm...

Gary, were you able to figure out how to run the game full screen? I'm not fussed about getting it into 4k or anything, would just like to get it full screen.

Harry, thanks so much for uploading this! You've made what initially was a head-scratingly complex process to get this running using an actual physical hard drive into something so much simpler. After I first got the game running using the Virtual Box method, I was having issues with the controls in that I couldn't see the in game cursor at all. No amount of trying to change the ppjoy settings seemed to make a difference as they kept resetting back to 75 in all the movement axes. Eventually I managed to get around this by calibrating the gun settings in the game's test menu and all works good now, hurrah! Thanks again!

Merci! Thanks for the info!

Thanks for the info.

Do you know what ip you use on pc1 and pc2?

Hmmm, this doesn't work for me, the second player machine just hangs at the network checking screen.

Wow!!!! Can't believe this is finally playable! Amazing. Bruce, merci beaucoup for the save file, it got me past the IO error. I've been waiting for this game for so long, can't believe I'm finally getting to play it on my PC at home The sound is extremely quiet on one of my PCs (but is totally normal on the other), does anyone know how to increase it?

That's cool to see a Raw Thrills dump working on PC. Maybe we might see a dump of H2Overdrive one day. On the Taito Type X front I'm still hoping someone gets Chase HQ 2 working someday.
