Extracting TTX gamedata from MAME's CHD Hipnosis 03/18/18 (Sun) 22:02:24 96c483 No.5716

The game in this case is the version 2.02J of Chaos Breaker (dumped version it's 2.02O). My progress so far:

Extracted the .chd as an .img (glorious 37GB), then tried various methods to open/extract it.

First used WinImage and extracted the 2 partitions it recognized. The first one has all the Windows and game data (the last in the TypeXsys folder). There's the "launcher.exe", wich searches for the USB dongle to decrypt the file "vdimg_ec.img" (where the game data actually is), then mount it as a virtual unit and finally executes "game.exe".

Here's the main problem: How to decrypt this file? I converted the .img to .vhd to give it a try in VirtualBox, but it shows only a black screen. I know that Windows Embedded is very specific when it comes to drivers and program execution/boot.

Also opened the .img on WinHex and it showed a third partition, but didn't recognized any files. Does the CHD includes the dongle? Maybe it's only possible to decrypt on real hardware?

I hope someone can clarify this to me.

>>5717 It was for testing and see if I could figure something out. The objective is Usagi Online, wich shares the same structure.

Usagai will never boot, nor work its a client server game. combined with lack of the io boards. being properly emulated.

They are adding windows files throw TTX Games on a single CHD? Mame is trying to emulate windows for each game. Absolutely Stupid. I thought CHD's it should be for persevation and they are FATTY our drivers.

Are you mentally retarded? a chd is a complete image of the original disk, when the original game is windows of course windows is going to be there

You can boot a TTX HDD image in a VM but it won't get very far because it does hardware checks

The only reason you would want to extract a TTX CHD is to pull the XPe drivers or restore a legit machine

Not mentally retarded, is mentally retarded having windows files on a videogame, if is not need it for emulate a stupid game. With that size 13GB mame wants to emulate windows versions on android like a stupid nerd worker.

Then stop downloading CHDs. The whole point of them is to emulate it as accurately as possible with 1:1 dumps of the original HDD.

How do you expect them to "emulate" a full system with out running the original drivers, gpu driver, and various other software loaded on that windows install

On top of lets make 2 very clear points

Your clearly a moron Do you even know how large windows xpe compresses to inside a chd? about 125MB

and the 2nd point

"MAME's purpose is to preserve decades of software history. As electronic technology continues to rush forward, MAME prevents this important "vintage" software from being lost and forgotten. This is achieved by documenting the hardware and how it functions. The source code to MAME serves as this documentation. The fact that the software is usable serves primarily to validate the accuracy of the documentation"

Mame exist, So you can repair the original

So if you have a TTX2 harddrive Fail, with out all the proper windows install, how do you plan on repairing your system?
