[Arcade PC] Aliens: Extermination (Global VR)

[Johno]

This has been added to the Teknoparrot library so just add it and run it through that 👍🏻☺️ Shouldn’t have any issues that way.

Here's an all in 1 package:  http://www.mediafire.com/file/okqti95t4iez39q/Aliens_Extermination.7z/file

 

Includes full game, ResChanger, Aliens_MouseEnabler.exe, the DivX install, other useful information.

 

aliens dehasped.exe has been patched by me to remove the directory dependence or hardcoded drive locations.  Unpack to any directory and  copy the directory "aliens" where you want it.  There is even the AHK script in DATA and a pre-edited prepacked 4K version in a 7z archive.

Thanks,would it be possible to get "aliens dehasped.exe" which is only modified to ignore/ remove directory dependence and nothing else? I have setup the game via game loader all rh, I tried using the linked file (in aliens/DATA/) but it goes full widescreen 16/9 (ignoring game loader all rh which is 4/3) i.e. when running the game via game loader and not directly.

[TeknoNecro]

The easiest thing to do now that you have the whole archive, is use the ResChanger and select an appropriate 4:3 res like 1600x1200 or something.  That would take a few seconds to do and basically it’s the same thing I would do.  Hopefully that should take care of your widescreen issue.

This is so cool to play!

 

My main issue is the screen isn't cantered and has a coloured border that changes colour throughout. Is there a way to centre it and make border stay black?

 

Playing on a 1920x1080 TV, I currently use the Aliens_RezChanger to set to 1440x1080 as its a 4:3 game.

 

See screenshot to see what I mean.

 

 

 

Any way to center the video? dgvoodoo doesnt work

BTW, thanks for the repack, Mr. TN

 

 

EDIT: Nevermind, I solved the issue using Game Loader All RH (377)

If anyone else is interested in running this game with the Sinden Lightgun I'd recommend using it (although the installation can be a pain in the arse 'cause all them false positive virus alerts, srsly...)

Just set your desired resolution (I set my 1080p monitor to 1400 x 1040 pixels) and a white background for best results with the Sinden Ligthgun tracking system. 

Game Loader All RH also enables quitting the game with Esc key. 

 

Here's how it looks on my system:

I'm getting this error when I start the VirtualBox version: "Could not find extension glBlendEquation"

Does anyone know how to fix this?

 

Alternatively, and preferably, what are you guys using to run this on Windows 10 without VirtualBox? I tried skimming a few pages in here but there's a lot of different links to various fixes, dunno which to be using. I just wanna set this up with my Sinden.

I don't have a sinden light gun, but if what I'm reading is correct, just use the Aliens_MouseEnabler.exe should enable the sinden light gun to function.

Thank you so much!

Also if anyone else for some reason wants to use VirtualBox, I discovered the problem. VB got rid of Direct3D support early last year, you have to use an older version to enable it and run stuff like Aliens: Extermination. But now I'll definitely just use this package and run it without VB, much easier.

Cheers!

I have two Versions of AlienEX One is setup with wiimote full screen 1080p with mouse enabler and it works perfect....

The other is set up with DemulShooter for Sinden LightGun . I can only get this to work in window and full window mode ...Full screen I lose the gun tracking, Window it works perfect except for an on screen Error stating GUN 1 Error 265 is visible on screen at all times... but dos not hinder gameplay....

Here is a link to the game if anyone is interested in trying to solve the on screen error for me, setup is in root of D Drive....

Use reshade with the games exe to create border. So you can use fullscreen mode..

Well holy crap!! I FINALLY FINALLY FINALLY got the mouse to respond and show up on screen 😀. But now whenever I choose mission 1: Bug Hunt the game freezes and crashes when the level first starts. Weird thing is I can play the other 3 levels in any order but when it comes time to play the first level it freezes. Anyone else have this problem?

Hi!

How you fixed the issue with the freeze in the start of the level. I having this problem

Thank you!

 

Best regards

HI everybody,

I am trowing a bottle in the sea but I am looking for a way to play Aliens extermination with no machine gun and only the pistol (flame and grenade are allowed).

The reasons is that I play with a gun and I like to aim and not just shoot on the fly in no brain mod.

Also for a better challenge.

Maybe an easy solution could be to remove the machine gun reload bonus who appear very ofen at the screen ?

I know this is old, but you can fix this issue by making sure that the custom resolution is a proper 4:3 multiple of 800x600 and whatever resolution you choose is added to your nvidia control panel as a custom resolution. This fixes the issue with the game being to the side of the screen like that.

 

640×480, 800×600, 960×720, 1024×768, 1280×960, 1400×1050, 1440×1080 , 1600×1200, 1856×1392, 1920×1440, 2048×1536  are some resolutions you can use, but you can't go over what your monitor is capable of horizontal or vertical. Just mae sure the res you select is added to nvidia control panel as a custom resolution.

 

So for example if you have a 1080p screen, 1920x1080, the max you can use is 1440x1080.

 

 

[MrkEast]

Hi i'm Marco, same issue here, when I try to set higher screen res than 800x600 (in Teknoparrot options or using the rez changer tool) i get a partial zoomed image on my 4k monitor. Anyone can help us?  

[Sakurarozu]

Wow if that’s happening to you with that setup it has to be a game configuration issue that cpu setup is overkill for that kinda game

yea idk what is going on. and when i play its a mini screen on the left side of the screen. 

[Invité POPO69]

Salut pour moi le jeux est devenu extrêmement rapide. Il existe un patch?

[Scheang]

Hi,

 

I have this game running in TP (I thought it was running fine last time I played), but now the FPS is half what it should be. Any thoughts as to what I can do?

It runs normally outside TP, but unfortunately, I can't get my Sinden to work with it through Demulshooter for some reason.

[LEGEND80]

You need to disable Threaded Optimization in the nvidia control panel.

[Sakurarozu]

Hi i have the same problem my fps is at 15 and im running on a 2080 ti with a i9 11th gen. I picked aliens deshaped exe and my resolution is 2560 1440 and disabled Threaded Optimization. im running win 11 teknoparrot

i'm running alien extermination through teknoparrot. works ok, but it crush when iu choose the level, why?

[Str_K]

Hey guys. I tried running this game both from its standalone files and through technoparrot and in both cases the game runs very fast. I am using a new Samsung Galaxy Book 3 360 13" laptop with a a 13 gen core i7 and Iris Xe graphic that is connected to an external 1080p monitor running at 60Hz. In the Intel ARC control center I tried all options regarding V-Sync but none did anything different. In my laptop it has 4 options in total. Application preference, V-sync On, Smooth Sync and Smart Vsync.

 

All other problems regarding the mouse and resolution I managed to fix but the speed of the game cannot slow down no matter what I have tried. It is literally unplayable like this. Has anyone managed to make it work?

[VirtuaTK]

Very Strange. I played this game before no issue. Now when I launch it says I/O error for guns and doesn't detect my sinden. No buttons nothing.

I changed nothing since previously playing. Had an error with my AHK script for sinden in launchbox but I fixed that and still get error. Works for other games so not the sinden.

I could try to remove game and add again. Is this likely to change anything though?

 

Fixed it. Had a backup of game replaced that and removed then added back game to TP.

Remove the gameprofile for it...then re-add everything......there was a glitch but tp 1137 should be fine now...

For FPS Cap I've always used RivaTuner from guru3d which is a application that is used for stats and framerate caps and it doesn't matter if the game runs way too fast because when you set the target framerate to 60 it will make the game 60fps even when you close RivaTuner. It will minimize to your icons section and it doesn't get in the way of your game. But if you are done playing the game exit RivaTuner otherwise all your other games and applications will be capped at 60 fps. This will stop the high speed issue on a lot of games like Fast and the Furious, Mario Kart, Batman, and more.

What kind of gun model is best for those shooter games? I loved shooting games. Sorry about my English.

[lostit101]

So hopefully someone really smart could give me some help im having with my aliens. ived posted this elswhere and also found from my searching some other person having the same problem.

 

The game freezes after a short while if u have the recoil power connected.

The game would just stop responding after a short while of the recoil working, causing u not to be able to move the cursor anymore.
This only happens when power is connected to the recoil, no recoil the game works just fine, with amo counter etc just perfect. but obviously the recoil adds so much fun to this game , its something that i just cant live without.

 

Other times ive had the keyboard also lock up if i stayed in the game longer and not quit when the gun froze up.

The other bit of info i did find however is this. if i connect one of the guns only to recoil, that gun would work perfect and not freeze up with recoil working, its only for me when i connect both guns that i have the issue above. u could play fine 2 player, just 1 gun wont have the recoil...

 

here is what i have tried.
 
1. tried two power supply to supply voltage for the 24v coils. < made zero difference
2. in a risky move, i cut the usb cables and connected them to receive 5volt from the external power supply since it has higher amps. i figured maybe the guns for some reason draws too much power from the computer and that makes problem with the usb , causing a lock up.
3. i have tried demulshooter, i have tried mamehooker < even if mamehooker is not needed i figured it was worth a shot.
4. i have tried to disable USB suspend mode , under power saver. < this helped nothing
5. i updated the usb controller drivers < still nothing
6. changed usb ports < did not work

7. tried it on windows 10 on my computer, tried it on windows 7 on my laptop < same problem
