[powergyser]

Here is another rare game for all of us to enjoy. Thanks to the wonderful community of VGE

 

 

 

 

Please feel free to add support if u can. @argonlefou @ducon2016 Thanks. 

 

The HDD Image has 3 partitions with the game on it. No idea which is the right one. Get them all and report back.

Looking at the 3 different partiions:

 

All the files in partition 2 match what's in parition 1 in the directory "/D22" and partition 3 "/UP/JAA" except boot.exe is missing from partition 3 and has the extra file d22050419.svv.bak file.

 

The partition 3 file contains the /SAVE directory and looks like it contains a few useful files like bookkeeping.sav, bookkeeping_playdata.sav, coin_options_sav, game_otpions.sav_ io.sav, ranking.sav & sound_options.sav  The olthers might be boot logs????

 

On partition 1 in the root is "select.exe" which likely selects a specific partition based on the health?  Just a guess....

@powergyser Nice one bud. Have to say, you've got some great connections out there. Love the sharing mentality you guys got going on. Respect!

In all three partitions are game files, scores, and update files, so go for all three.

No idea, we'll figure it out when a loader supports it.

Take a look, all 3 partitions are almost the same.

Amazing thanks a lot.

how did you get it to boot? i got a white scren, or an errorr: 3-0002-0000 on a "dual" screen.

This is how you supposedly get the police woman.

 

Police Woman

This code MUST be done correctly and well-timed for it to work. First, insert your game's currency (preferably when you see the "Konami" splash screen), and during the title screen, press the trigger 12 times and hold the trigger the final time you press the trigger, press the start button while holding the trigger. You MUST ensure that you are doing the code on the "Lethal Enforcers 3" title screen in its entirety or the code WILL NOT WORK. After you press the start button, select either Dead Heat or Score Attack using the side button, select your name, and stage. If you see a police woman holding a Nanbu revolver and a shield as you start the stage, that means you did the code correctly and you'll play as the Police Woman throughout the game, although you'll still have access to munitions contingent to the stage's hero roles (i.e. if you were supposed to play as a Detective in Rival Heat and if you're a Police Woman, you'll still have access to a pump-action shotgun).

 

The trick here is to make sure you're inserting your game's currency at the Konami splash screen, doing the code on the title screen and timing the input right. Keep in mind that sometimes you won't see the title screen when you insert the proper amount of currency in the machine, so if you don't see the title screen, wait until you see the title screen and do the code. The timing is somewhat tricky so you'll have to practice to ensure the code works.

 

 

Also there is supposedly a free 10 second demo you can play. 

 

Free 10-second demo

During attract mode, draw either gun and press Start. You'll be given one life and allowed to play in a sample level for ten seconds. Shoot the enemies, and point the gun away from the screen to reload/shield yourself, as in the real game. You don't need any money to play this free sample, but you'll have to wait a few minutes before you can play it again.

I believe we’ll succeed once supported🙂

Booted here just by clicking game exe in any of the 3 partationss, but got same error as the other guy 

[argonlefou]

The game relies on gunio.dll and io.dll to check and get data.

First couple of checks are easy to emulate but SECURITY unfortunately either loop or fail

 

 

Once someone will manage to boot the game, it should be easy to feed it IO or gun data

Here's for you a package with a patched exe booting, and a tool to use keyboard and mouse to control the game.

Run the tool, then run the patched game.

 

WARNING :

The game is not playable in the current status ! It is crashing at the start of a mission or if you try to play in windowed mode (with DxWnd)

You can however enter the Test menu and change/save settings.

 

My guess goes to the graphics rendering of the game, not clear for me if I should have the P2 screen appear or not in the same window (the game is going to 1280x480, like the dual screen Gundam)

Unfortunatelly I have no knowledge at all on that part, so here's a "working" game if someone want/can solve this. I'll finish the job (dual gun, outputs, etc...) once it's settled

Connect 2 screens to your computer and run the game. This should get you past the crash, there's broken, but it should let you get past the crash.

Thanks for what you've done so far!

Any chance you can upload the input wrapper exe with it not locked to 640x480 region in the game window, or if it's not a lot of trouble maybe make this an input box? This game is a bit of a pig with what it does on start up relative to the window size. I'm trying to work out a patch of sorts but the gun being locked to 640x480 in that window is problematic for testing.

explain how did you fix?

 

I can't explain exactly how i did it, there's a strange startup check it does for 2 screens, this check seems to be whats causing issues. If you screw around when it's doing that you can sometimes get it to snap out of the weird check state it gets into. I haven't been able to reproduce it yet, aside from this one time.  The gun controls are stuck in the 640x480 box in the top left corner of the screen. You need 2 screens connected, otherwise it does this weird flicker and overlays both screens over each other. I hope argon can troubleshoot it wioth this info, because i really don't know how to patch.

Some gameplay footage, can't empty the clip though, unable to reload so i just let it roll through until it gets fixed. I can't fix controls, i have no idea how. Seems like there is a sound issue on one of the stages. Might just be my pc though.

is there a codec that u might be using because i was able to use the mouse during the demo mode to hit the targets and it seems to work good but as soon as i get to the stage select it basically goes to a black screen im missing a codec

Been playing around with this a bit. I used DgVoodoo to see how this game would behave in windowed mode.. Basically this game starts in 4:3 then after all the checks are done calls for the 2nd monitor and displays everything on 2 monitors. Screen basically goes to 1280x480 mode.  And here is another thing that I found weird. The very first time I booted up the game with Argon's patch, the game ran flawlessly, no glitches at all and attract mode worked as it should. After that one time it never booted up correctly again.  Attract mode would not play at all,  only sound and text.... Even rebooting the PC did not help.

Works great with tp(In the future)

hey, had the same issue with  running fine the first time, then just text and sound after.  it seems to be displaying the 2nd player screen at that point, because only the 2p start changes what displays on the screen and can not see cursor moving.  I also had the issue with if I didn't run the script in admin mode it wouldnt hook to the patched exe.
