it's has a low-level directinput hook in place and it steals most of the game's messages. Yeah that was the first thing I thought of but it won't work because there's too much going on. This is because it's brining up the alt-menu, even in fullscreen! The fix is simply not to use alt, BUT if you want to be able to pause the games there you go. I don't know if you've noticed or not, but the games appear to "pause" when you press alt. Key bindings I might not be able to fix BUT it's weird exit issues and such I can via a wrapper. It has a bunch of bad hacks implemented instead of using the typex_loader. I'll look into it when I have a few days to kill. I've tried several videos in place of the official one, including avis and mpegs (renamed to wmv of course) and none of them play properly BUT I can hear the sound of the video.īoy this game has some issues. At least we know where to look though.īTW it is NOT the codec. There are tweaked video drivers that can handle this issue but I'm not brave enough to try them. I think this is why SFIV locks up on the videos seeing as how it was programmed for win xp. Since then it's been removed in favor of a more universal hw accelerated one. Prior to Vista, videos played in a directx application could be handled via a colorkey overlay. One of the benefits of programming a lot of wierd stuff is the fact that if a commercial product has a bug, you might recognize it. These pc games are the first time I had to write a full-fledged wrapper in over 10 years! Memories. Emulators are pretty much command-line friendly at this point.
I"m taking the time to make sure the wrapper is as stable as possible, but there isn't much to it, so I should release it tonight. I made a 4:3 and 16:9 bezel from the ps2 bezel in giga wing and it looks quite nice. I even added support for bezels since there is a lot of empty space, praticularly if you are playing them on a hd display. It isn't one of those lame key simulation ahk exes either, all of it is done in pure api code. I'm in the process of writing a wrapper that automates the entire process! You still need irotate and dhwnd, but you don't have to deal with them, the wrapper does everything. I wanted to give an update on these games and some of the problems and fixes I've found/created.
