O .thanks a lot... there Is a way to emulate on my pad Xbox the whip movement of mouse using Antimicro program please..i use It for gun games 

 

I can't say how Antimicro will behave, and how your Xbox pad will appear for me with it

 

But if you have an Xbox pad, you can use it with DemulShooter directly (without antimicro)

Just select the good device in DemulShooter_GUI and set the needed buttons / axis. And read the Wiki to learn how to use Demulshooter

[Old John]

Got it all working thanks but just wondering if there is a pause button ? As I get constant interruptions while trying to play this at home and once timer countdowns it game over again

You just install Creative Alchemy then add the .exe.  Viola all sounds are fixed.

[drewjbs]

I have 2 questions if someone could share...

 

1. Does 2 player work? I tried to start with player 2 and I cannot select character until the timer runs out. Then the 2nd player does join the game but only controls player 1

2. I only get the soundtrack... but do not hear any sound effects. Is there a way to fix this?

Are you saying run ALchemy.exe before game start correct?

No you just need to add the exe and move to right column.  Took me only 10 seconds.  Then never run alchemy again. It deposits some dsound files in the game folder.

Yes, 2 player is working but not with the mouse input tool.

You need lightguns or gamepad and use DemulShooter

hello, i tried using creative alchemy (1.45.20) but i still get no sfx. is there something i did wrong?

 

here is my game settings in alchemy:

game title: cv

location: use game path

[root-directory]\[some folders]\HCV\HCV_APP (i clicked on HCV.exe when choosing this)

settings (i did not change a thing here)

buffers: 4

duration: 25

maximum voice count: 128

 

i have put the game on the right column (alchemy-enabled games)

 

am i missing something else here? thanks

 

[THE RETURN OF HBP]

Same here. I followed the directions perfectly and I still do not have sounds but now my game is now missing the  background music too. I don't know what in the hell happened here. Maybe it doesn't like my sound card.

If you want to play with the stanlalone version with a controller you will need DS.  AHK script can't make any input emulation lol...

Not sure what the differences are with what you have if that is what you are asking... 

 

From the zip - 

Install Creative Alchemy v1.45.20
Copy files in universal patch directory 
(ALchemy.exe and dsound.dll) to Alchemy install directory.
Yes to overwrite
Install EAX4
Open Alchemy and add both games' exe folders
 

Lethal Enforcers needs borderless gaming after sound fix is applied

Never saw anything like this, so that's not a "known" thing

A few people, ,start the game with Castlevania input loader + Demulshooter at the same time... don't do this.

You need to choose one : The 1st is only for 1P mouse profile and the 2nd (DS) is only for people who use Controllers, lightguns or wiimotes. Same I never noticed a cursor problem, maybe a local problem...

Thank to argonlefou  for his amazing job on the game!

 

Guess right now there no way to access test menu and/or insert coins, right?

Tried this game with a fresh install plus all fixes and latest Demulshooter and it crashes as soon as I press start. Any ideas??

maybe it depends on the chipset, it does the exact thing on intel i9 11900k (only and exclusively on that PC, perfectly working on 3 others with same mobo/gpu/memory/os but different cpu) DS & Mouse input
