dov_EL Posted December 29, 2017 Share Posted December 29, 2017 I found the ROM of the game, but I can not find this softwareis there any information on this emulator? Does it work with launchbox? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Retro808 Posted December 29, 2017 Share Posted December 29, 2017 (edited) It is running on Tekknoparrot. Just google Tekknoparrot and it will be the first link. Current builds are patreon releases and the most current should be releasing soon. You can find google links to older public releases. I think 1.20 was the last public release.

TheMadMan007 Posted December 30, 2017 Share Posted December 30, 2017 (edited) Any tutorials on how to use it? I got the 1.21 file, opened it up, and it's really a terrible interface, looks like something that was designed by committee back in 2007. I figured out that the rom needs to be unzipped and the emulator needs to have each game configured and it told where the exe for the game is. Once that was done, I chose to boot up Chase HQ 2 and it comes up with error "cannot find parrotloader.exe". I searched through the directory and can't find it. and I searched online and no help is given. Any advice? EDIT: It seems as though the Teknoparrot got picked up as a really bad file by windows and quarantined it. I restored it, but I hit another snag. Now when running the program it comes up with an error saying I have another emulator running (I don't) and it also wants me to remove a bunch of files in the game directory, but I can't find them.

Delete the files you can find from the list it gives you.... I think it's only 2 that I found ... then it should launch best to read the technnoparrot forum on configs and such , they usually explain it all Edited December 30, 2017 by harryoke Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheMadMan007 Posted December 30, 2017 Share Posted December 30, 2017 (edited) I got that part, now I've got another error. A box pops up saying "IO Error: Libraly" I click ok and the game starts to boot, but then asks for test switch to be pressed. I'm pressing what I have mapped in the game settings, but nothing happens. I went into the game's readme and it says t is the test, so I hit T to get into the test menu. the I/O stuff needs to be set I guess, the steering and gas and brake. the controller doesn't work at all, so I have to use the keyboard. The arrows should be steering left and right, and Gas = Space bar and Brake = Ctrl. Yet when I try to calibrate, it fails no matter what.

You have pointed technoparrot to the wrong exe ... use the one with original in title then the error will not happen and you will be able to start the game after you have calibrated the controls.

TheMadMan007 Posted December 31, 2017 Share Posted December 31, 2017 Ah I see, ok, got that all set up and working... except with no sound. This seems crazy insanely harder to setup than it should be. I spent 2 hours reading up on other forums downloading multiple "fixes" and things. I'll be happy if I can get this and the mario kart game working. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My copy of Mario Kart does this EVERY time, and I have tried everything. I am running on a Win 7 x86 laptop, with Intel Centrino (according to the sticker, it is a second hand laptop so I am not that sure). Interestingly, a video of this running on youtube has extra lines in the ParrotLoader.exe, referring to reading activation keys and the registry, but everywhere I look I can't find a way to register ParrotLoader into the registry (unless that was just for patreons). Any help is useful help, thanks in advance! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
harryoke Posted January 6, 2018 Share Posted January 6, 2018 @DavidBordicott this needs a dedicated GPU iirc , so your laptop may not be compatible. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TheMadMan007 Posted January 6, 2018 Share Posted January 6, 2018 With Mario Kart, I am able to open it up, but if I run it in windowed mode, it doesn't show up in a screen at all but I can hear audio. If I run if fullscreen, then it comes up with an error stating "Cannot find Direct3D compatible device" and crashes. I'm not running on a laptop, and I've got a 1080ti, so it's not an issue with no dedicated GPU. Any advice? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

On the Teknoparrot wiki page for mario kart, there is a known problems catagory. There are two links that you need to install under the direct3d error subheading. If you get an error installing one of them, that is completely fine. Hopefully this helps, and hopefully you can play Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Porl Hendy Posted January 6, 2018 Share Posted January 6, 2018 Is a steering wheel required for this? I cant seem to see where u can edit steering controls Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Click on that and you can bind your keyboard or controller. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Porl Hendy Posted January 6, 2018 Share Posted January 6, 2018 I seen that but the only steering option i can see is wheel axis and that only lets u choose 1 button so i dont understand it. The game loads and it shows gameplay, then i get an error Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not so sure of the wheel axis but press either a or d, or if you want arrows, left or right. Hope this works Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Porl Hendy Posted January 6, 2018 Share Posted January 6, 2018 Yea its the red error that is shown in the wiki page but even when i press the test button it restarts and i get the error again lol thanks for your help anyway Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
