My friend told me loader is not necessary but when I  run it I oonly get the game internal check and then crash to desktop.

Could you please guys help me to check if it is Medaru no Gunman dump and make it work?

Looks dope, hope it gets added to TP soon

[nanometrovovo2]

ok, I have just sent the link to Reaver and requested to add to Teknoparrot

Thanks a lot @WildWolf 😄

 

[WildWolf]

maybe @argonlefou can make some magic with DemulShooter, I don't know if he has any availability to work on it.

using mice tools in ringwide mode game starts and closes suddenly at dongle check

 

 

[argonlefou]

There are a lot of optional command you can put with the exe, including some to not use dongle check (see bat files in the bat directory)

 

Then I also needed to patch a couple of hardcoded path the game was trying to access (an old "document and settings" path not existing anymore in my version of Win10) and you can boot the debug version of the game with a menu and a level select (all in japanese)

 

P1 works with mouse, some levels are "freeplay" like below (reload with middle mouse, shoot with left) and some other are using credits to reload gun and get prizes

 

I don't know how it was working in Arcade, it look like it was a bunch of satellites cabs linked together and I didn't manage to run the "real" mode, if there is one

Can you share the files needed to play it with a mouse/lighthgun? 

[argonlefou]

It's not something you can really "play", as there is no end to levels : once you choose a mode it's just looping to test gameplay

 

If you run the exe as "Main Unit", you can see in the Test mode it's looking for network satellites

If you run the exe not as Main Unit (= satellite), the test mode is different (LED for example are not the same) and it is looking for Main machine

 

There are a lot of wiser people here, with better knowledge on that system/game, I trust them to assemble the puzzle and make it work

I just had a few minutes to check and I can't go further in details for now

Well, that’s the fourth shooting arcade game publicly available but not playable along with the 3 public encrypted arcade dumps cooper’s 9,mars sortie and tera toma all 4 are fantastic games that certainly worth to be salvaged as playable but thx for all your other work so far.

[WildWolf]

Ok it is clear now,  I noticed this arcade game has 2 monitors lower one for action with lightgun interaction and higher one for bonus / extra display ...

 

a few details to explain the gameplay :

 and look this video, go to 16m30s you will notice dual monitors

That video is a goldmine !

 

The upper screen display is exactly what you get at start when running the game exe as "Main Unit", so it explain why there's no interactive part.

 

I wonder if "satellite" process/machines would be able to run correctly without the server running on a network machine 😬

it's just a dump, you have to wait a loader later

[miki91]

ok thank's

 

[argonlefou]

Very small launcher to run the game and use mouse (lightgun should work ?) for single player.

 

More options will hopefully follow later (along with DemulShooter support)

yes but it looks you have only the same kind of challenge. According to what I saw in video this game has many different phase : Phase 1 :  mini games with targets / Phase2  : Real lightgun phase with real ennemies / phase 3 : Real lightgun phase with Boss

We have only Phase 1 always without ending lol, so I think there is something missing ^^ But thanks a lot for your work Argon, nice to see how the game looks like. Maybe you need the 2nd monitor to play the game correctly, I don't know.... You play like it was a Demo for the moment.

There is no need to emulate a second mouse.

Dual player (with lightguns) will be done with DemulShooter, like with all other games.

Just... not today, and I can't say exactly "when"

So far here are my understanding of the rules :

 

1) Medal mode (mini target) :

Shooting a target will spin the upper wheel, you can gain either :

- Nothing (wooden medal)

- Coin medals (= credits used to reload the gun)

- A chance to shoot at money bags to get medals

- A horse to change mini-game level

- The sheriff star, this is what triggers the "real lightgun" mini game

 

2) Real Lightgun:

Shoot is freeplay (non need to use credits to reload) and you have to kill every enemies in a limited time.

Shooting civilians remove time

At the end you are given coins medal and what looks like to be some "WANTED" letters

If you don't have the amount of WANTED letter required (you can set this in the TEST MENU), then it goes back to mini game #1 to repeat the sequence

If you get the needed letters, it's BOSS time

 

3) ???

I didn't play untill the boss and I don't know what comes next, if you're going again for a different boss or just keep playing the same route to gain medals and prizes

 

I have no clue how the fact that the program is running alone ( = without the connection to the main server) has any effect on the gameplay route

I didn't find any tech manual for that game

Your video alone is a goldmine, as I previously said 👌

So this game remains mainly a game which alternates gameplay solely on luck at roulette and the medals won. ok ok so it's a shooting game but it's not classic and doesn't take into account damage with lives... I understand better thank you. That's why this game is a medal game like ^^

[hippopippo]

you can simulate a 2nd monitor as well

A well detailed guide of the gameplay and nice work of the mouse loader 👍I’m using gun4ir so waiting for it to be supported by demulshooter.

thx

This is the Argon's launcher modified to use dev-debugging and enable all game functions (thank you as always for the excellent work)

 

BACKSPACE = Enter debug

RETURN = Select

UP/DW ARROWS & Mouse = Move

I = Info mask (you MUST press to show menu)

H = Help

@hippopippo your link is giving this errror. 

[hippopippo]

mediafire sux .. re-up zipped

[mamefan1]

Thanks @hippopippo

 

for some reason i can't reload. I have credits, but when i right click it doesn't do anything. When i right click in the test menu it works. 

 

I also found out that pressing L will reload player 2

 

there is a payout button... needed to exit one of the menus in the test menu, but wasn't able to figure out what key that is. 

[hippopippo]

we are all patiently waiting for a final demulshooter version, however as already specified in the docs, if you have any problems delete all the .bin files inside the /exe folder

Shoot off screen to reload, works here
