Fall back to revision 1803 (April 2018) of Window$ 10, make your system dual boot, if needed !

How to obtain Window$ 10 (1803), and other Window$ versions legally and more information.

Here some links to help people here out.

First, back the fuck up, yes backup your data !

And your web browser favorites !

Second, a Window$ OS and Office download tool, which downloads official iso's from Micro$oft, legally !

https://heidoc.net/php/Windows ISO Downloader.exe

You can download 64 and 32 bit versions of Window$ 7, 8 and 10 , in most languages, and previous revision releases.

A free tool to partition your harddisk / resize it ?

How to prepare a Window$ install media, DVD or USB ?

With this tool.

https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/download/details.aspx?id=56485

It is to prepare a Window$ 7 USB install media, but I make my install USB media for Window$ 10 with this tool.

You can also burn the ISO to a DVD.

How to start from USB / DVD ?

System and brand depended, Esc, F1 - F12 ?? Del ??

Just button bash, just like in a arcade !

You can still register Windows 10 with a Windows 7 or 8 key ?

FIGURE IT OUT !!

How to make a dual boot system ?

Partition your harddisk / ssd.

Get another harddisk /ssd, boot from there in your BIOS / EFI ?

During the Window$ 10 installation, make a second partition or install on second harddisk / ssd, for your second Window$ installation.

Window$ has its own bootmanager.

Not working for you, or want to try it in another way ?

Would these instructions suffice ?

The easiest way to do it is the first option in the above link.

How to disable Windows$ Defender, which removes critical files needed by TeknoParrot, and other emulators/loaders ?

https://www.windowscentral.com/how-permanently-disable-windows-defender-windows-10

Do NOT install another anti virus,

Game loaders, such as GameLoader All RH and TeknoParrot do so much more.

These programs patch game memory on the fly, to get through the arcade machine hardware test, (as an example, no lights connected)

dongle emulation, decryption, et cetera.

So these game loaders and their associated files need to be able to run freely.

We should not update our gaming rigs "in the blind".

Any other info for Window$ ?

Please share info !

We should also wait with updating our systems, just like game console users, PS3 (4.82) / PS4 (5.05)

Or make it dual boot !!

Any other info for Window$ ?

Please share info !

First, look at the front page of this thread, and read it, twice if needed !

Second, I will try to explain what my intentions are.

I will test all the TeknoParrot loader supported games one by one.

And report my findings and solutions here one by one.

Anyone who wants "to chip in" / "help out" ?

By translating this text, to their native language, and placing it on THIS site.

(Copy / paste into google translate, edit the translation errors out)

Rig used:

Window$ 10 64 Bit 1803 version (Up to date)

Soon dual boot with a 1809 revision of Window$ 10.

Intel I7 860 @ 2.8 GHz

4 GB RAM

NVIDIA GT740 2GB @ 1360 x 768 - 60 Hz

I will edit this thread when I have the time to test all the games on Window$ 10 1809 revision.

It is my personal opinion/ choice to use a NVIDIA based videocard.

Most of the original arcade machines TeknoParrot tries to run, work(ed) with NVIDIA videocards.

AMD GPU based video cards can work problematic.

There are AMD GPU based video card shader patches, which can be found here.

Specially for the people with an AMD GPU based video card.

https://github.com/Nezarn

http://www.emuline.org/profile/24479-nezarn/

We should be thankful to Nezarn for the AMD videocard shader patches / fixes.

But my personal experience is that TeknoParrot and the games run less problematic on NVIDIA based videocards.

As far as I know, TeknoParrot does not run on Intel or AMD IGPU's, a GPU integrated in the CPU. (laptops)

At least not the "heavier" games.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Graphics_processing_unit#Integrated_graphics_processing_unit

I hope that this tutorial helps other people out.

It takes you a few moments to read, but it took me all night to figure it out.

When you get the game working, thanks to this "manual", please give a thanks at this post.

Enjoy !!

:very-good:

And a BIG thanks for the people who originally uploaded the games, we all can enjoy (if you do it right) !!!

And of course all the people involved in, the game loaders and JVS I/O emulation applications we use, and all the people I "forgot".

Also look at the posts below, some members / people add helpful information, thank them also .....

No kiwi, GameLoader All RH works in conjunction with TP.

Just tested it for you mate, on Window$ 10 version 10.0.18362.387 (1903) up to date. (just checked)

TeknoParrot 1.0.0.211, nor GameLoader All RH 336, nor Mohkerz Loader, can load Sega Rally 3, so no go, still .......

You could install the PC version of Sega Rally Revo ?

It's the closest, to Sega Rally 3, both race fine.

And one can swap tracks / cars between the 2 versions. (A bit of work.)

This video shows how to swap cars and tracks from Sega Rally 3 (Arcade) to Sega Rally Revo (PC), so you still can drive the tracks of the arcade version.

I have no idea how to edit the zone / gate times.

Perso je préfère les machines virtuelles.

C'est BEAUCOUP moins contraignant que de redémarrer a chaque fois

Et de plus il est possible d'en faire tourner plusieurs

Je suis actuellement en W10 X64 1903.

Any chance of a tutorial on doing this i know nothing about virtual machines and adding games to them and then how to launch the games, and I am sure other people would also be thankful for a tutorial

Does TeknoParrot run in a Virtual Machine ?

As far as I know it has VMProtect.

From the teknoparrot site.

ATTENTION: If you get any MALWARE or VIRUS warnings from your browser or anti-virus software, it is safe to ignore them.

These are false positives, triggered by the .exe protection that we use for DRM and licensing (VMProtect).

hey lang i tried that last year and i prefer the original. But your Sega Rally Revo' thing is an idea, however i already have that game, just like most things the arcade version is much better and in fact it looks better than revo anyway. oh well we continue onwards with 1803 don't we m8 😅

So you are telling me, he is running 1803 in a VM on / in 1903 to run SR3, WTF ?

Does that actually work ?

You'll need a nice system to pull that off.

Does a VM support full GPU access ?
