Hi, I tried almost every emulator I know except for Wine (My antivirus says it is a malware), but with Windows the game is still unplayable. It crashes or it is too slow. If someone wants to try with Linux (Completely uknown to me) please let me know, Thanks.

I think I'm going to adandon the project, but there is still one way to play Dark Omen on mobile phones. You can use a PS1 emulator and load the Dark Omen rom. It is not the same thing, but...

Thanks to all for your patience and for your help.

Hoping to hear good news, Best regards, Daniele.

Cool

Btw, specular textures encoded the same way as diffuse. So only .glow and  .tint are left for decoding. Need to locate where client reads them.
 

Fantastic news and well done!

Finally, I ve decoded these textures. I have to decompile .exe and look for texture reading function, after that I ve simply transferred decompiled C code into C# and decoded, what it actually does.
I was almost right about .mask files. But instead of storing missing data, they store control byte codes, which says to client, how much blocks it should skip or read (or read .diffuse and alpha, stored in mask) and alpha channel blocks. I ve got working prototype of program for reading such textures.

Hi, finally the game works, but it's still too slow. I don't know if I set up wrong settings in the emulator, if it's the game itself, or if it's my mobile phone (Samsung Galaxy A53, 6 giga ram and 128 memory).

I don't know how to load files and images here and if I can do that without causing problems, but if you like and need I can try to show you my configuration so we can start working on it together...

Hope ie helps, Daniele.

I finally enabled the sound...I set an option (enable sound   ) and I set another sound card.

Now problems are due to game crashes and OS slowness. It takes a lot of time to load the os (wrong settings??) and often the game crashes.

The first time I started it, it worked quite well (only cursors were flickering, but I set colored cursors and that worked), but now it crashes at the intro and when "preparing for battle". So I cannot test it anymore...

Hope it helps, Daniele.

Hi, it's been a long time since I last tried or checked if there were any updates, would be amazing if you succeeded.

Well done for trying again and i can try in the next few weeks when I get some free time. Would be cool to get it working.
 

Hi guys, it is passed a lot of time since this tipoc has been created.

I finally installed dark omen on andoird, but it not really easy. I still need a hand...

I used limbo pc emulator and a bootable WinXP iso. I also created an iso image with the setup files of DO and the game crack. All stuff you can easily find for free on the Internet. I'm doing several attempts, but I still have problems...

1) I can't install audio on WinXP...Do someone know how to install it? (With Limbo emulator)

2) I'm trying several configurations, but the game still sometimes crashes...I don't know if it's an emulator's problem or a game's problem...


If a good soul could and would help, maybe this time we could really try DO on android devices 

Thanks, Daniele.
