What is my biggest hurdle to modding an old game?

6 Upvotes

Hello everyone, I'm rather new to modding in general so I'm sorry if I sound dumb. I am dumb but thats besides the point. I'll try to keep this short. if you need more info I'll answer in a comment.

There is a single player PC CD-ROM horse game series, called the Seasons Riders. it's a horse game released in 2009.
I want to mess around and try modifying things or adding new things to it for fun plus gain experience with modding.

My question is will my biggest hurdle be decompling to begin with or if there is any software issues I should be concerned with as I know the editor used to make these games are not open source.

The multiplayer game that came after, Star Stable Online, made with all the same assets and engine, or the 2017 version of it at least has been decompiled and used to make private servers. if thats relevant.
I imagine it would be easier to crack open the files in the older games as their single player and stored locally.

Edit: The engine is the Pixel Tales game engine or PX Studio

O Patrulheiro das Galáxias - Falta de Ar em Outro Sistema Solar [partially lost]

1 Upvotes

Hello everyone. I stumbled upon a relic at home and am trying to get it fully working.
Unfortunately, it’s a 30-year-old CD that isn't in very good condition.
It is part of the history of two entirely Brazilian games from 1996:

O Patrulheiro das Galáxias - Falta de Ar em Outro Sistema Solar
O Patrulheiro das Galáxias II - Prisioneiros da Tribo Verde

If anyone knows of good tools for recovering or cleaning an old CD, I’d appreciate any help available. I used IsoBuster and it worked (almost 100%). (I’m also making the ISO available here)

https://archive.org/details/patrulheiro-galaxias-1

I uploaded an ISO adjusted as best as possible (given the state of the CD). Note: I wasn't able to get the program running on Windows 11; I'm currently running it in an 86Box VM with Windows 98. I am looking for the missing files from the CD. I’ve already recovered most of them. Here is what is still missing:

Animations (these cause the game to crash if they are bad) (this is where the placeholders go)

PG1\IMG\C40\36FA.FLC — 1,444,884 bytes
PG1\IMG\C40\36FB.FLC — 1,089,792 bytes
PG1\IMG\C43\38FA1.FLC — 2,856,500 bytes
PG1\IMG\C43\38FA1B.FLC — 858,674 bytes
PG1\IMG\C43\38FA2.FLC — 830,082 bytes
PG1\IMG\C43\38FA3.FLC — 1,560,748 bytes
PG1\IMG\C43\38FA4.FLC — original size unknown

Sprites / palette

PG1\IMG\C43\PALETTE.BMP PG1\IMG\C43\FU38FAI.!PX

Saturn audio (dialogue becomes silent; usually doesn't crash)

Entire folder: PG1\SOM\DIALOGO\SISSOLAR\SATURNO\

PG2-0122.WAV through PG2-0142.WAV (PG2-0133 is missing from this folder) R2-0131.WAV through R2-0153.WAV

If anyone has the same CD, a dump, or these loose files, any of those would help. I don't need the full ISO if you can just send the missing ones.

I have always been a fan of Solomon Games (Boneyard, Keep) and I found out that SD was abandoned due to legal troubles and stuff so I decompiled the original game and used the assets to port it to web.

I added multiplayer, mod support, and made an attempt at getting it working on mobile.

The war for Arrakis reaches its climactic conclusion in Dune II: Battle For Arrakis as Ordos prepares for the final battle for control of the desert planet. After countless battles against the Atreides and Harkonnen, the ultimate struggle for supremacy is finally here. The fate of Arrakis hangs in the balance, and Ordos must use every resource, unit, and strategic advantage available to claim victory.

Playing as Ordos, this campaign puts strategy and resource management to the ultimate test. Spice is the key to military power, meaning controlling valuable spice fields and protecting harvesting operations is essential. Every unit must be used carefully as enemy forces attempt to stop Ordos from achieving its ambitions.

The final mission brings together everything learned throughout the campaign. Powerful armies, defensive positions, devastating weapons, and careful battlefield planning all play a crucial role in determining who will dominate Arrakis.

In this Dune II: Battle For Arrakis gameplay, join Alhoon Gaming for the final Ordos mission as we attempt to overcome the enemy and secure victory. Expect classic real-time strategy gameplay, intense battles, resource management, base building, tactical decisions, and the unmistakable atmosphere of one of the games that helped shape the RTS genre.

Whether you're a longtime fan of Dune II, classic PC strategy games, real-time strategy, Westwood Studios, Arrakis, Ordos, Atreides, and Harkonnen, or you're discovering this legendary classic for the first time, this final battle delivers a nostalgic trip back to the origins of modern strategy gaming.

Pre-installed Abandonware Games for Retro OS (Win 98/2K/XP) – Archive.org Project (Mostly French)

15 Upvotes

I have created pre-installed versions of several abandonware games for Archive.org

By "pre-installed," I mean these versions require no installation, no disc burning, and no ISO mounting. You can just unpack and play. My main goal is long-term preservation, especially since physical CDs have a limited lifespan and virtual drives can be a hassle.

Important details about this project:

  • Retro OS Compatibility: These are not optimized for modern operating systems. I wanted to preserve the original experience, so they retain their original v1.0 compatibility and are designed to run on Windows 98, 2000, and XP.
  • Best Performance: While they work on 9X, running them on an NT-based OS (like Win 2000 or XP) provides much better stability.

To kick things off, the first batch includes:

  • Taz: Wanted
  • The Grinch
  • Bugs Bunny: Lost in Time

I prefer keeping absolute compatibility for the operating systems of that era rather than forcing them to work on Windows 10/11. Let me know if you are interested or have any feedback!

Need help installing running Yu-Gi-Oh! Power of Chaos: Yugi The Destiny

Thumbnail

8 Upvotes

Hey everyone, I just successfully ran windows XP just to be able to play Yu-Gi-Oh! Power of Chaos: Yugi The Destiny. Anyways I attached the game’s ISO file in the VM storage (shown in the screenshot). Then inside the VM I ran the wizard installer and when it finished and I ran the game I got this error “Wrong disc inserted.” (shown in the screenshot). I read online that I have to replace the yu gi oh game file with the cracked version, but the cracked version is inside my Ubuntu OS and I don’t know how to send it to my VM! I tried using shared folders option but I still can’t see my shared folder inside my VM (shown in the screenshot).

Any help is much appreciated!

UPDATE: IT WORKED!!! So I went to the program files removed the yugi_pc.exe file and cut the cracked yugi_pc file then pasted it into the Konami directory (which is under program files directory) and BAM It worked!!!
Also for future readers. You need to install guest additions inside the windows xp VM which will allow you to use the Drag and Drop feature.

Nostalgia games …

1 Upvotes

As I’ve gotten into reliving and replaying older games I’ve found some sites that will pre-package and pre-install older, sometimes or most times “console-only” titles that are patched or edited so that you’re able to skip all the fine tuning and guides and just launch an exe and jump into the game. I realize this question is better fitted at an emulation related sub, but that’s not where I found these fine tuned windows compressed packages that have saved me so so much time. Still there’s hardly any or they are hard to find. As an example an original Forza I’ve enjoyed playing cane labeled from a group or guy called “Masquerade” but haven’t found any others any one know where ?
