Chase HQ 2 finally cracked!

[2huwman]

Does anyone know if this has a hack to enable widescreen in the correct aspect ratio? With the 720p high res setting enabled in jconfigHQ it's still at 4:3 ratio.

Also any other cheats or hacks that haven't been mentioned previously? It seems as though the game is a bit easier in the US region version than the EU version. It still seems pretty random as to whether or not I can stop the stretch limo without continuing!

Increasing the draw distance in some areas would be cool too!

I've been trying for ages to chnage the resolution of Chase H.Q. 2 but with no luck I can only seem to get it to work in a resolution of 800x600, I've tried apps like DXWND & JCONFIG but it still outputs to that fixed 800600 resolution in a small box in the top left corner of my screen

[shaolindrunkard]

Try turning Direct3D wrapper off in jconfig.

[POOTERMAN]

@shaolindrunkard - tried every option in Jconfig, still no  luck

[shaolindrunkard]

You can also try messing with "override high dpi scaling behavior" If you right click the exe and select the compatibility tab...

How do we get past this screen?
I’m using my xbox360 wireless that works fine but I’m hung up here.

[bcgamer]

I can now access the main test window
Using an Xbox 360 wireless
JConfig the inputs are being recognized (coin, start, test, buttons 1-6 etc)
Go into I/o settings in game
No buttons being recognized (holding triggers for gas/brake application and always fails

My top trigger works for accessing the testing menu but Cali ration always fails

What gives?

[bcgamer]

Progress
Working good now except for full screen
I exit windowed mode which working good
Into full screen
And all hell breaks loose

What gives?

Hi Guys

OK so I am having a bit of a nightmare getting Chase HQ 2 network linked.  I've read the thread and I have set everything thus:

player1 , ID1, IP 192.168.0.2, D/Gateway 192.168.0.1
player 2, ID2, IP 192.168.0.3, D/Gateway 192.168.0.1

when I do the reset network and save thing on both after the countdown I get a final red message saying "please wait....connecting" and then a very quick green message flashes up saying  "connection OK" on both machines.

When I run the game, tried simultaneously and not so, I get no evidence of link mode from the title screens and when I insert a coin on one the other does nothing!

Oh btw I am using a crossover cable to link the two machines.

What am I doing wrong here?!

Any help appreciated.
Thanks
RR

Hey guys, does the PC have to be online to run this game? I have it working perfectly but if I kill my internet connection it stops working. Any way around this?

[MrThunderwing]

Just keep your internet on...?

[Yardley]

Just keep your internet on...?

I like to keep my arcade PC offline.

[jonbenderr]

I ended up getting a cheap-o wi-fi dongle specifically for this game and the network check Yardley. 

It's actually kind of nice because now I can use remote desktop and add things to the cab quite easily from another PC.

[Foxhole]

Sorry for necro posting but i think this is worth it.
To anyone who wants to run this game without being online, go to test menu - network test - set the network id to 2 And save.
Afterwards the game will work without being online.

[2huwman]

Great tip - I had an old network switch attached to the PC in my racing cab just to get this game to run 

Your way is much better! Thanks for posting.

The holy grail of Taito Type X2 racing games has finally been decrypted! I can confirm it's working and 100% playable. Updated with video:

Please PM me on this
Thanks

Sorry to bring this thread from the dead, but has anyone figured out the full screen issue with this game? Such a shame to have a great game play in a small 800 x600 window.

Thank you Mr. Thunderwing Unfortunately I tried the recommended settings and it's still displaying in 800 x 600

Could this be a miracle?? My Chase HQ2 just died (RH cabinet) PC looks like it has bad caps     Where can i find this cracked file? it would be life saver if i can get them up and running again. Will it work on a original Taito cabinet? Bob

Linking to roms/games is against the rules.  Discussing the games and how to get them running is not.

[PL1]

I think he's just looking for the .dll that SegaOutrun posted about on page 3 of this thread so he can get his original Taito cab running again with a new PC.

Thank you.  I lie awake at night worrying about the PMs he no doubt received.

That was a much funnier response than i expected, Badmouth.

You're not the worst mod, thats for sure

I have a Chase HQ 2 cabinet with a dead HDD. Would this work in the Taito X2 plug and play?

Maybe. My understanding of X2 and TTX was that it's a windows install running software that is decoded by an encrpytion dongle - does that sound right? If you have a dead HDD, can you not clone the working one and just replace it? (RH above means right-hand cabinet, of a side-by-side?)

If you can't do that, from memory the X2 system links pretty easily over LAN. At least with Teknoparrot it does. Assuming it's just regular LAN you would need a system to run TP running the game. And from there set the service menu options and cable the cabs together, possibly through a switch. The problem with this is that i'm not sure how the IO is connected. Even if it's just USB, there's no guarantee TP will know how to talk to it.

I'm not sure what the .dll file PL1 mentions above has to do with this. Sounds like it's going to spoof some sort of hardware identifier, or dongle? or it might just be an updated device library. This might help connect a different PC to an existing hardware setup, IDK.
