Hi guy's
u ppl know me as a repair man :that's where i often post: :)
Saint if this is the wrong place sorry and move
here it is ppl
i have chatted with gobal-vr about there golf game
namely older verision's that use :4200: video card
and not the :5200:,now if u know them #'s follow along and comment please.
if not read on
here's the deal
i can rework there :s/w: :winxpe: note the :e:
and use any videocard that will work...
and post it as a patch..to them that have the 4200 card this is god send
i have a ati running now on it
it is not giving me lag,no loss of video :depth:,the patch if allowed i will up-load in a week
side note this will also work on the 5200 series machine
i do forget the mobo spec right now >for the 5200-board<

thk-u saint
now here it is
anyone with a pga golf by gobal vr know's this problem full and well
what has gone on is that the eng team has been dis-banded
so no support toward's the video and i/o problem's
within the scope of what i am doing is,i will be up-loading a series of
batch file's u will add to your system rescue disk
if u do not have 1 let me know your build and i will up-load 1,what this will
do is rewrite the main cfg,add support for other video card's >driver's< and
a few other thing's..
example>
FileFind: Pop directory \NVIDIA\WinXP-2K\44.03
FileFind: Getting Files from \NVIDIA\WinXP-2K\44.03
FileFind: Pop directory \IMMERS~1
FileFind: Getting Files from \IMMERS~1 <
where we want to add pop directory \adi\winxp-2k\xx where xx is driver rev
now this is olny a few line's of code we add to the pgacfg file
which has a header of
PowerQuest PartitionInfo -- DOS engine edition.
Date Generated: 06/23/2003 14:17:27
of course we will save as the same with the new line's added
reason for this is,once we add these line's winxpe will look for other video card driver's and find them once we point to them
more to follow

Sounds like you are doing a good deed for those who need a fix. Great work. Makes the community stronger and more valuable.
Thanks

small up-date
i will be adding voodo 3000/4000 support and a link to a site for the driver's u can d/l into your new pga,also we will be taking the harddrive's out of cable sellect so we can edit the window's xpe/win2k folder.
also i will suggest if u have not already done so
clone your harddrive
it is easy to do and if u need the s/w i will point u to where to get it,and how to do a good colne..
and thk-u boba
i hope they join in ?
as i fiquire it may take me a week to do this
but i have ceritan type's of video card's on hand and if someone want's to use another,i would need it's make model so i can get the win2k h-key values
ed
-
ok
another small update here
the test bed i am running has on-board video
so we will not be removing our video-driver's
u know .dll's/,oxc's but we will be adding in the .dir pointer's
and also the fact we can control the load up of pga
this is really neat to do
1-x down
1-x on the way
bear with me
ed

cool cool. :applaud:
some of that hardware they used is absolutely ridiculous. grossly under-powered, terribly unreliable.
I have 2 PGA computers that are boned and continually need to be reloaded all the time. they gather dust in the shop. it would be nice to just build a whole new computer and be done with the antique junk supplied by Global.

hi
that is generally the idea :)
just take's a bit to rool out..
plus i need to pm saint to find out up-load size
ed

lilshawn
fast q here
what is the mobo ?
and what is the hard-drive used ?
if u post me the build we can get them off of the bottle trick <i call it that > :)
also rem u need to keep the dran fan's up to date
ie clean etc,plus video card's need some fan work..the suck ass 1's used are just that
some of the build's had very very bad habit's

the system i have available this second is what is called the "DFI landmark series" the only identifying mark indicating the motherboard is "NB32-SL REV B" it does not appear to have a sticker or silk screen anywhere showing the manufacturer. videocard is AGP geforce 4 Ti4200
the system recovery disk is "PGA Tour Golf Team Challange" for computer DFI Motherboards PS35-BL and NB32-SL it's version is 4.0.0
-
this is correct for the mobo
>PS35-BL and NB32-SL it's version is 4.0.0<
the hd is of no concern
i have used many dif now
the video card is our ofender. +it want's to call out for the i/o card
all of which i can now control
i will post a pre .cfg in short order
and the way to do it
copy your rescue disk to a .dir in your comp.
so we can edit it..also u should have the game disk's..do u ??
team challange has 3
if not i will pm saint about up-loading them
ed
-
Yes I have all the disks. I belive the other pga we have is team challenge 3 im also pretty sure the motherboard is the same. The cabinet is stored way up in the rafters. Ill have to dig it down and grab the disks out of that one too.
-
in reality u olny need 1 disk un-less the hd's are fubar ?
and if so and saint allow's it i can up-load the complete thing
it's 3.7 gig in total
i can .zip/rar it which ever
ed
-
hi
ok i have steped on it
2.gig is the best i can do
i am clear it has the vodoo driver's in it
i have not yet added them to hercules
but it dose have the native nvidia driver's etc
if u want to spec me a video card i will add them and the call
ed
-
I am very interested in this as I have 2 PGA computers and 1 has a bad video card. Need to figure out what computers and version is in them. Were can I get a rescue disk if my hd is fubar?
Jason
-
yukonblaze
hi i have everything needed
as a rule i am yet to c a fubar mobo
it is as norn is the 4800 video card,
and as i have said i am adding support for vodoo
just waiting for saint to guide me on how to upload
ed
-
Had a bad video card in other computer and thought it was HD so put in recovery disk for the game but had wrong dongle and now nothing.
Jason

yukonblaze
the donggle is olny used at the end of the game load
ie the unit if recovered will boot to window's screen,before main game load.
if it get's that far ? treat it as normal window's
ie mouse/key-board control
gain control and go to the .cfg file for the game
and edit the call for the dongle..to reflect true=false/ save-as-.cfg
it should by-pass the dongle call,and the game upon reboot should not bark out for it,it will not play however mind u,but it's a fast test for the game,same can be said for the player card,now rem something very important here
u are editing the main .cfg
so take the orignal and rename as .cfg1,then edit that .cfg and save as .cfg
this way u will alway's have the master .cfg
ed
-
is there anyway to edit so when I swipe my player card it assumes I have all the possible upgrades (i.e. shoes, balls, glasses, ect)? I purchased my PGA Golf after the internet portion was shut down. Will check next time I am in garage about booting computer to see how far it gets.
Jason
-
hi
if it came with just player card then i do not think so
however if u have the operator's card then i believe u can
i take it your in canada as this is the olny country that shut down ie access
i do however have 1 that is not shut down >us< software
i can double chk for u
ed

I am in the Good ol' USA and when I tried to connect to Global VR via internet it wouldnt as I tried with there techs. Had to send away my all access usb to get programmed. What is operators card and were can you get them? When I sent in my all access usb and dongle team challenge can back as unplayable.
Jason
-
gobal vr has the operater's card,if they will not sell u 1 have a spare
let me c if i can copy it,it is olny iso after all..
fire the game up without the donggle
it should load all pre stage's,then call for the donggle,also
the usbi/o board if not pluged in will cause that error,on that board should be a usb cable.that goe's from the usbi/o board to a usb port on the mobo..
if it is not pluged in and or the usbi/o board is not hooked to +5 +12
u will get the donggle error also..the olny problem i have seen with the donggle is wrong game type donggle..inside the donggle is a atmel flat pack chip,which i am sure gobalvr will release the software to me.atfer all it is legacey,and as i pointed out the eng team for these machine's are long gone,and u olny get very little tech support,i did make a statment that i will do a cfg walk aroud for this problem,let me test it over the next few day's

Was told that team challenge tournaments were no longer available online as this was how you won in game items (game face). Was hoping that this was stored on the HD and could be unlocked somehow.

i do believe it was stored in there server's
and would need to contact them to see if they still have the data

Very interested in getting into my drive and seeing what is there. Will try this weekend to get a spared hd of my PGA all access and get to playing around.
Jason

jason
the best way i have found to date to do this work
is to copy the complete hd of the oringal,
i do it by using a removeable set of hard-drive-bay's
and a proggie called easeus parition recovery 5.0.1,
with that in hand,i can make a clone of the orignal..
now with that said u can also slave it,and copy it to dvd
u may not get the full MBR,but u will get enough for what we are doing,
at which point if u are happey with it and want to test it
u can lay a winxpe MBR in to the cd backup
when u are ready ring me up
ed
-
Ed,
Can you explain in depth how to unlock all the goodies. I just recently acquired an a game with the all access pass and would love to unlock more golfers, etc.
Also, are the dongles able to be copied, etc. I would hate for a dongle to fry or go bad an not be able to replace it.
Thanks,
Keith
-
hi
the donggle is a atmel chip
so yes with the proper s/w and setup u can copy it
i need to do a few so i will post what u need
if u are canadian bound then u are in luck as i am and the game's by law must differ
the extra player's are added to the master .cfg file
then linked to the pic file,u can even put your self in there
u will of course need the player's card.
i will dig out the file's u will need to edit and add to
it's a long list,and some are in a different format so u will need
to d/l that software to veiw/edit them
aslo i am running this in xp and not 7 as i find 7 dose not allow the flex i need,also please understand that these file's are running in winxpe
ed
-
hi
i just looked it up
player's are here
C:\teen\pga_tour_golf_2006\Players
this is where u will add the .plr file
like so
adam scott.pl player file
u will need a windows proggie to expose the file to u
as normal windows will not understand it,also u will need to make the .plr file
courses are here
C:\teen\pga_tour_golf_2006\Courses
same thing apply's
olny this time it is a .pos file
so u will need to edit it
as it is a .dat style file >command-line< this time
but u will get the basic idea as to what is involved in the edit
now in my example u can see where i placed >teen-challange<
it is best if u do the same
and the easy way is to copy your pga hard-drive,in what ever format u like
ie 1-1/iso/etc
make a .dir on your coumpter and place it in there
this way u can edit and test without mucking up your game hard-drive
more to follow

Ed,
Thanks so much. Keep the good info coming. I'm going to try and work on it tomorrow.

hi i just did this for u ppl to look at
when u want to get to edit mode
this will help u alot
files in hercules and the ussage
the !file! is listed by this the edit come's after it
1-!coin drop! this is normal it is to hear the coin drop
2-!gvrcachewarmer! this set's the system cache leave it alone
3-!gvrcoin sound! this generate's the coin drop sound
4-!gvrdongle monitor! this is the file that chk's for a dongle
it is a .bat file eidit it if u care to break it down,and or delete it
thus it will not look for the dongle
5-!gvrpga-perload! this preload's the game values,u have seen this file in action when u first turn a pga on and it run's once then goe's blank and then the game load's completley it is >.exe<
6-!hercules test! this file load's before any other file and is used to test the intergity of the hard drive it is >.exe<
7-!kill-app's! is used by hercules to kill app's it is >.exe<
8-!pga-preload.dat! this is a dat file used by a batch file later on in
this list
9-!stopall! this is a msdos batch file used to kill all process's
it is a self >.exe<
10-!gvrboot! this is a .exe shell used to boot all of the listed :gvr-style-file's: and is nessary it is >.exe< to remove the dongle u wii have to decompile this file and rem out the dongle call,thus it will shut down a call to the dongle
11-!gvr-coin-monitor! used with #3 to tell it a coin is inserted
olny needed in none free mode it is a >.exe<
12-!gvr-crash-monitor!this is used to make sure the game load's up
it is nessary and is a >.exe<
13-!gvr-stall-monitor! this is used with #12 to make sure the game loaded and to make sure that hercules has stopped and is used also with
#16 in game mode it is a >.exe<
14-!herculesui! i have no idea of it's use as of yet
15-!patch-agent! this is used to load :patch's: u plce in the !hercules.dir! ie the main .dir it is a >.exe< leave it alone
16-!pga-pre-load! perty self explantory used with #13
there is also 2 other file's in the hercule's .dir that
i have no idea as of yet for the extison's
1 is vssver.scc i am thinking it is part of the verison call tied to the dongle call
2 is us2dismiss.wks i have again no idea of it extison
u will also want to add serval .dll's to the .dir if u want to run the hercules ,dir out side of the windows >game<
ed

hi
this is edit of the dongle call
wtsapi32.dll wfapi.dll utildll.dll WTSQuerySessionInformationA WFQuerySessionInformationA WTSFreeMemory WFFreeMemory System\CurrentControlSet\Control\ProductOptions ProductSuite Terminal Server ALADDIN GetModuleHandleA LoadLibraryA
from my post
4-!gvrdongle monitor! this is the file that chk's for a dongle
it is a .bat file eidit it if u care to break it down,and or delete it
thus it will not look for the dongle
as u can see it clearly call's in a window's.dll
so u must go and kill that .dll
ie remove it from window's/system/system32
from there u will beable to kill dongelcall
ed
-
So does that mean that no dongle would be required?
So I could technically install the all access pass on any tournament edition?
Keith
-
hi
the part i posted deal's olny with the dongle
the pass call is another horse all toghter
it is not in the hercules file
it is in the main window's.dir
and a link to the pga file
i will need to dig in futher to do the change's,i never thought of killing it
but rather chaning it up as pre requested a few post's back,but i have as of yet to look for it,and alter it..my main foucs was to rewrite the video card control's so we can use more then 1 type,and what is needed,with that in hand and now knowing how to kill the dongle,would u define your request a tad futher.? ie player card yes or no? tourney card yes or no ?
as they are tied into the modem >tourney< and my game's are canadian
and that call would have been removed by gobalvr and i do not have the file,if u do please list them and i will dig the rest out of winxpe
thk's in advance

hi
i went looking for it
it is here >teen\pga_tour_golf_2006\Shell<
now i will need to find it's dll and linker
i do believe in 1 of my earlier post's the complete.cfg was posted
>gobal vr has the operater's card,if they will not sell u 1 have a spare
let me c if i can copy it,it is olny iso after all..
fire the game up without the donggle
it should load all pre stage's,then call for the donggle,also
the usbi/o board if not pluged in will cause that error,on that board should be a usb cable.that goe's from the usbi/o board to a usb port on the mobo..
if it is not pluged in and or the usbi/o board is not hooked to +5 +12
u will get the donggle error also..the olny problem i have seen with the donggle is wrong game type donggle..inside the donggle is a atmel flat pack chip,which i am sure gobalvr will release the software to me.atfer all it is legacey,and as i pointed out the eng team for these machine's are long gone,and u olny get very little tech support,i did make a statment that i will do a cfg walk aroud for this problem,let me test it over the next few day's<
now with that said
i will need to look into the window's call
just let me know which 1 u want or both?

card info
my bad i dropped the ball on the file list
gvrlogger >this is your card reader file<
i had to double chk first
i thought hercules loaded all of the nessary .bat's
so i dumped it into a hex-editer,and sure enough there it was
so i doubled chked my list and i did mis it
sorry bought that
u can edit this file but first let me find it's linker into windows

welp i think i got it
i am now running the game with another video card
instead of the 4200
will be testing on a lcd this week
then i will post the cmd's :):)

ed12 - what is the latest on this project? I just discovered this thread and your exceptional work. Thank you for doing this.
Like many I have collected 4 PGA computers in various states of disrepair. Afther finding this thread I will dig in again.
One thing I discovered months ago is I could get the game software to install on several different computers (a Dell for one) and have it run fine, except for no sound. I wonder if there is a way to edit the config files to work with the sound chips on other motherboards instead of being limited to the two DFI mobo flavors. Your work to allow other video cards is inspiring.
Do you have a website with a repository of your work? or an FAQ of what cards you can now use, what edits are required, builds, step-by-step notes or tutorials? etc?
Thanks again for this.
One edit while I think of it: you said you had yet to see a mobo that was totally fubar. I have one where the AGP slot is flakey. If I install the game using the oboard video, it loads up a bit before complaining about drivers, but it runs - I get video. If I use the AGP slot and a known good video card, I get nothing. so it looks like I may have a fubar mobo fwiw. I need to check for a replacement someday. IIRC it is PS35-BL.
Thanks again for the thread here. It has my mind spinning on this again :applaud:

hi and thk-u
do me a fav and tell me the build's u working with
ie 3.6/4.0.0.0 or 4.0.1
this can be seen fron either the first loader disk if u have them?
if not u can in :post: stop the game from loading
and edit the the window's .cfg to expose the explorer task bar
and then u will find a .dir called :pga:
this will expose the rev of the game
a side note here i have olny come across 2 type's of video card's that
it will not work with,but i am sure this is a driver issuie,and i have not looked to far into it yet..
there is something of a note for ppl here
your mobo's are at the age that they need re-capping
this will hold true if u have had a power-supply go south >fail<
also i would replace the 512meg ram with some new 1gig's
because man will the game fly,also i will post a .cfg that will do away with the :player's: card reader,and with the edit u can do just about anything
back to the mobo's
the olny thing i know pga like's is :auto-power: on
sound is carried through a sep amp..but i have put on-board sound card's with built in amp's in
and just redid herculies to point to them
ed
-
i just neede to add this
have not realsed it yet
but i found away around :mapping-error-53: >your key<
ie canadian or usa,and also turned off the modem bark for call out
so to make a long story short
if u have the rescuse disk
we can make it work
AS LONG AS YOUR HRAD-DRIVE IS NOT TRASHED
u know :click-click:

I have one where the AGP slot is flakey.
get yourself a can of contact cleaner. and spray the snot out of it. the way some of the CPU coolers are, they blow dirt right at, and into the AGP connector and RAM slots (being the first slots in the path) removing the card and then re-inserting it causes the dirt to get mashed into the connector. (AGP is real bad for dirt failures in the connector due to the interleaved connections)
contact cleaner should get most of it out and make it better, if you don't want (or cant get any contact cleaner) don't be afraid to pull the board out and strip it of it's battery ram CPU and other removables and spray the crap out of it with the kitchen sink sprayer and maybe a small paintbrush. :P yeah yeah i know what you're thinking...
as we all know water and electricity don't mix... but, as long as it's bone dry (a few days at least) before you put the battery back and power it up, it will be fine... and squeeky clean.
If I install the game using the oboard video, it loads up a bit before complaining about drivers, but it runs - I get video. If I use the AGP slot and a known good video card, I get nothing.
let ed know what card you are using and he can set you up with a setup disk with the drivers packed in. from what i've read there is not much to it.
-
lilshawn
thk-u very much for your reply
and kind word's
yes i agree with u,but as i stated
alot of route-op's would not clean out there fan's ? or at least clean them out thus allowing the mobo to over-heat,also 90% of the video card's were shipped with 0 or at least garbage fan's,thus burnning out the card
what i am working on now
is the final walk around
this will take me a few day's as i am testing a team right now >burn-in<
this 1 is a rev 4.0.0.0
the video problem is now behind me
there is a few thing's i want to touch up in the .cfg's
there is about 6
and i will post code

The CDs I have for PGA Tour Golf Challenge Edition are version 3.0.0. I have the recovery CD and the two game install CDs.
I can't find the Team Challenge disks at the moment, but they are v 4.0.0.8 according to my notes. I need to find where I put them!!!
I don't believe the hard drives are bad, but even if they are and have to be replaced, would that be a problem if I have the CDs?
I will need to purchase some caps for the mobo's. I've done many a monitor and power supply but don't have the right values for motherboards.
FYI again according to my notes, the PS35BL board is an 865G chipset. I don't know what sound chip is on it (I know it is amplified externally, but the sound chip itself is on the motherboard. I tried an Intel D845 mobo and got the game to run but with no sound.
I have not purchased a replacement video card yet. Can you recommend a good one that works with your edits?
Thanks for the reply.
and lilshawn, thanks for the contact cleaner tip. I'll give that a try!

recovery CD
that is the most important part
when u need to replace the hard-drive
1,2,3 are the game and they place as a overlay
mapping error 53 will come in at the end,if they are the wrong rev for the
recovery disk,this is due to hercules and 3 batch file's in it
if u want to take a crack at the batch file's?
make a .dir in c:
here is what it should look like
c:\rescue disk
copy the content's of the disk into it
make another .dir
c:\rescue\test

Thanks Ed. I have to find a computer that is somewhat running. I've tried 3 of the 4 so far:
- One just does a hilohilohilohilo continuosly on the pc speaker, won't boot at all. swapped ram fwiw and did not help. This has an NB32-SL motherboard.
- One has a broken socket on the motherboard so the cpu does not stay put. Have not powered it on yet. (PS35-BL)
- One I just did the contact cleaner spray in the AGP socket this morning, blew it out with ionized compressed air, may try it out tonight but have to add an HDD and psu to the unit. (PS35-BL)
- Last one is unknown...
I can't wait to get one running to follow along...
BTW does anyone sell Cap Kits for PS35-BL motherboards and the other NB32-SL mobo, like they sell kits for monitors? :-)
Thank you! I will be there soon (I hope) with something booting and running on a monitor...

try mouser or digi-key
the cap's olny need be high temp >heat-rated<
1000mf can be replaced with 1500 as long as u DO NOT go below it's rated voltage,ie 6.3vdc CAN NOT BE USED WHERE 16vdc is etc

hi
ok i dig some digging
this file is sitting in your team\windows\system32
msvcr71.dll
it is also carried in net frame work
for the love of god please do not move it over until i find out
what was holding it back
as i do not see it in my main c:\windows\system32 file
so i want to chk it out first
bare with me

hi
ok here is what i dug up
>msvcr71.dll is a module containing standard C library functions such as printf, memcpy, and cos. It is a part of the Microsoft C Runtime Library.<
this process can be killed

You are way far ahead of me! I can't keep up until I get something running. Sorry I am not up with you yet.... :banghead:

hi
try this trick
shove any pcmi video card in
have no fear the game should boot
but will give u wrong or non supported video card,once u are that far
tell me the spec's for the video card
ie maker/model
and i will show u were to place them in your game
ed

Hmmmm. A PCI video card... I wonder if I have one of those somewhere.
I was thinking it might be quicker for me to install the software on the Dell optiplex I tried before. Game ran but with no sound.
Maybe there is a way to put the Dell optiplex motherboard sound drivers into the game, much like you have figured out how to put different video card drivers into the game?
At least with the Dell I have a working stable platform. I have yet to get any of the DFI motherboards to boot properly.
Thanks for your help, ideas and patience! 8)

Can the game OS be "taken over" so that drivers, etc, can be installed by running the setup.exe for the driver?
I am at work but think this might be the driver:
ftp://ftp.dell.com/audio/R56339.EXE (http://ftp://ftp.dell.com/audio/R56339.EXE)
My memory says I think it's an optiplex 260GX but of course I'll have to confirm that once I get home...
The file looks like a self extracting zip file. Maybe it can be extracted and the files placed properly into the game os version of XP.
This would be AWESOME if it worked because dells are everywhere and PGA tour golf games could be revived...
============
FWIW I found this thread:
http://en.community.dell.com/support-forums/desktop/f/3513/p/17894096/18017082.aspx#18017082 (http://en.community.dell.com/support-forums/desktop/f/3513/p/17894096/18017082.aspx#18017082)
I wonder why the poster says to reboot windows 3 times before installing the sound driver......
============= another thought
Dell chipset driver is: http://downloads.dell.com/chipset/R41334.EXE (http://downloads.dell.com/chipset/R41334.EXE)
I may have to install both the chipset driver AND the sound driver to get it to work... Dells can be funny that way.

yea i picked them both up

What does the above represent? Are they the entries from "real" PGA computer, or are the entries I need to to find and change to so a Dell GX260 to get its sound to work?
This is interesting info but I don't know what to do with it yet. Hopefully it will make sense when I finally get in front of the actual machine and begin looking at files.
Thnks!
ps I found this what you posted in the ADIALTGD.ini file in the dell audio driver executable:
{5145B065-3C8D-4f98-8117-1705211B6AAA}="PC Beep"

Where do I put those values in the windows xpe directory structure? Or do I have to edit the registry? which section?
If the {F8BA97F6-0BA7-4709-BF15-A9F15A73FF01}="Video" entry is a problem for you, why not just remove that line from the file and rezip the .exe and run it without that line in it?
Or, where in the registry and/or directory structure can we edit files / values to reflect the changes we want?
Seems like you are getting close...

I have the DELL OptiPlex GX260 up and running.
I installed the Recovery Disk. Told me to remove cd, turn off computer, turn on computer, wait for Global VR prompt.
Did that- It prompted for "New Hardware Found: SM Bus Controller" "insert disk with drivers blah blah blah" I skipped that step
Then the GlobalVR logo showed up and I continued with Game disk1 then Game disk 2. Game is up/running but No Sound.
Time to start hacking this...
-
:cheers: SUCCESS!!! :cheers:
I have the game installed and running on a Dell GX260 with SOUND!!!
The real test now is to pop it into a cabinet and see if it really plays. Sadly the cabinet is a days drive away, so it will be a week or so before I get to that location.
Still, this is awesome! The video card is an FX5600 so no breakthrough there. Basically after the system recovery disk installation, I went into windows and installed the two drivers listed in posts above. The sound driver asked for locations for drmk.sys and wdmaud.sys, which are in c:\windows\system32\drivers and c:\windows\system32 respectively. I had to do this step 2 times until it booted into the GVR logo w/o prompting or errors. Inserted the game disk 1 then 2 when prompted, and voila I hear the sound of the ball going into the hole. It's all good!
Thanks for inspiring me to work on this. Now to find another computer to try this with. Two more cabinets need fixing...

Did I read in an earlier post that you could hack it so you can unlock all the players, courses, extras, etc? Can you share info about that?
I'd also like to understand more about the operators card, players card, what that means and what can be unlocked.
Also if it can be run without the dongle.
Thank you!!

hi
yes and yes
to your question's
as i have been trying to point
hercules,is the :batch-file-loader:
if u turn off call's then the game will not look for them
also i have a build with tigerwood's
but that .cfg will never leave the box
11 courses is max but u add more,that's easy
up to 27 as i last counted
player card in canada is for game face stuff
please note
there is a few .cfg's i cannot realse
but if u dig into my point's u will catch the drift of what to do

ed, your posts seem to be about PGA Team Challenge. I am working on regular old PGA Challenge and the directory structure, filenames, etc, seem different, but I'm looking anyway. I tried to kill the dongle process in game but that did not work. Maybe killing the call all together may help but I can see many reasons why it still would not work.
Where is the edit.cfg file located, that you posted above? I did not find that on the PGA Challenge hard drive at all. There are very few .cfg's and .bat's on that version.
Thank you!

Newbie here and looking for some info. Can you run PGA Golf VR in Windows 7, can I use a new computer, motherboard, monitor, and video card? Brother-in-law upgraded his game recently then motherboard got hit by power surge. He wants me to either use his Mamet machine or build him a new computer.

Can you run PGA Golf VR in Windows 7, can I use a new computer, motherboard, monitor, and video card?
PGA Tour Golf coinop game runs on embedded windows xpe. Does not run in windows 7. It -may- be possible to use different hardware assuming some level of similarity with the original.
I don't know anything about mamet so cannot comment about that.

Ed, is the all access pass still available? How can I get it activated on my machine?
I'm not sure if the cabinet I bought has it or not. It has the Team challeng recovery disk plus 3 game disks, but that's it. I'm reading that all access pass was made available to allow additional courses for offline games.
Seems the online version of Team Challenge had 25 courses available, but offline games were limited to 11 courses. All Access pass allows offline games access to all 25 courses.
I would enjoy playing those courses. Thank you!

hi

hi
please read what i have been saying
it is winxp>e<,i have no clue as to can i convert to run in 7
nor do i care to try,here is the scoop
the os embeded :ie: it take's control of the box
and run's as the main :os:,where window's is used for the gui's/audio-etc
u can at start with a mouse and keyboard to control it
but once u reboot it will again take control
also as u should have caught through the thread,add the driver's nessary
ie sound as paulsteven's found out,same apply's to video to swap out card's,as the native 4200 is no longer to be had..
that said its has moved on to tweak's
ed
-
The reason they used Windows XPe is because they got a deal on the licencing since the unit boots to the game and not the desktop. There should be no real reason you couldn't just load it with some other OS like xp, vista, or 7... since windows XPe is esentially a stripped down version of XP (only the basic drivers and programs needed for running are included and installed.)
-
hi
well to start with 7 was not around when gobal vr team wrote the code set for pga golf
and winxpe is yes striped down :user: defined-for driver's
but u can acess the desktop and load driver's through it
the problem ppl are going to have is simple
7 come's in 2 flavour's 32/64
pga is 32
think of the nightmare there
ed
-
of course there is the 64/32 bit dilemma, but windows 7 has a compatibility mode for older programs...to what end...and what performance ding you might expect i have no idea. Applications which most commonly have compatibility issues are what are referred to as "kernal mode" applications and older 16-bit applications. Examples might include old versions of DOS-based disk applications, anti-virus applications, may not support 64-bit because they required direct access to memory, hardware, direct disk writes... etc. all of which was removed when the operating systems went on lockdown with windows xp and everything is kernaled through the OS.
Ed, do you know if the game utilizes direct-x or openGL for it's graphics subsystem or did they write a their own program that access the video subsystem?
-
hi
i will chk

ed12 - thanks for the info.
I believe I was confusing PGA Challenge with TEAM Challenge. I have "Challenge" running but have yet to find my "TEAM Challenge" disks. I have the dongle but no disks.
Looking forward to tweaking both versions but for now I can only work on "Challenge".
Thanks!
-
Ede12 and lilshawn
From reading the thread it appears my best bet would be to clone the original hard drive and make all changes in XP vs. Windows 7 (since I have 64 bit) It appears a new MB could possibly work. If I get you the video card info, that may also work. I have all of the disks and the new and old dongles.

hi
ok i think ppl are missing a point here
pga/challange/team challange are DEADACATED machine's
ie u can not window's xx or any other s/w
u MUST use the s/w that come's with the game
as it take's over your putter...it is that simple
if u want to run mame style so be it,but i will not write the rom code for it
>mame<,this thread to to ppl back playing there broken game's and explaining how we can sub in dif card's/donngle's/board's to make them work as the were ment to be,and tweak the s/w ie add courses/player's/player's face's etc..but again not to MAME IT..let that crew
do it.by all mean's

Well put ed. Thanks for your efforts to that end. I have 4 computers and 3 cabinets I'm trying to revive. Got the "challenge" done.
Are the "TEAM Challenge" cd's available from global or from you? I still cannot find mine. I have the original (dead) computer, dongle and drive but no cd's. I saw someone selling drives on ebay so I wonder if I can just move my hard drive into another computer and have it work w/o all the windows complaining of all the different hardware. I'd like to hope so but I don't think so.

But with "challenge" (I dont have TEAM challenge yet) I don't seem to find the files you are referring to. there are very few .cfg, .bat, .dat, .ini .cmd files to edit or at least that look meaningful at the moment.
I'll look into getting the cd's from global. I think I may be able to borrow at least the RECOVERY cd from an operator but not sure he has the rest of the 3 other game cds.

So I've been playing with stuff in hercules. GVRDongleMonitor.exe does not matter if it is run or not. Game won't run w/o dongle. I went so far as to hex edit that file, edit the registry, delete the file, edit herculesui.exe, and some other ideas but no luck. Still have to have the dongle to run. There are ways to defeat hasp but not worth the effort at the moment since I have dongles for my computers. It's fun to look at this stuff though.

Yes I noticed hercules is used throughout. many dlls point to each other, some in .net some not. Interesting construction.
I do have a cabinet with the overhead LED marquee display. It would be nice to code into that, yes. I think I saw some files that had to do with it. I also found the files for bad word filtering. Kind of funny :-)
Have you tried to slipstream and modify the xpe build at all? The xpe version requires a ps2 keyboard port. It won't recognize an usb keyboard if you have to use one. Not a problem with the original motherboard but if you want to play with others it must be ps2 for now.
Can't wait for tiger woods, but then we'll have to figure out how to transfer the files. I can setup a dropbox account if you want.
Thanks!

Well I'm back at it for a bit and got a PGA Tour TEAM Challenge computer up and running again.
Ed, have you successfully been able to eliminate the "Card Reader Not PResent" message that requires pressing a button to skip past? Not a big deal just a minor annoyance.
I'm assuming TEAM Challenge is the one you have done most of your research on, like adding activating the other courses, etc. I hope to learn more on this in the coming weeks...

hi
i can not rember if i crossed that road with gobalvr or not
what is known is its-gaming with there new golden tee live
hook's wire-less through roger's to the its gamming server's in bean town
so that must mean olg is backing off the rule's some what
with that said we would not need to hijack anything
all u will do is add the t10 mac/dns/id to the window's proggie so it will turn on the t10,then find some 1 whom want's to house the system server
from there with a player's card the sky is the limt,or if we use higher cap harddrive's then each unit can be a node server.
ed
-
hosting the server ...whats needed?
-
I would assume a static IP provided from your internet service provider.
hey ed12, what do you think about stripping the game out of the windows embedded? That way i think we might be able to install the game on a modern boardset with a standard XP installation.
there would still be some crunching involved but I think it might make for a stable install.
Thoughts?
-
hi guy's
lilshawn
your answer is at the end of this
richmondjefe as lilshawn stated static
to lilshawn
yes it can be plugged into a it's-gamming board :rom-coded:
and yes it can be moved to pure-xp no longer enbedded
the olny reason they did it that way,was so the game would olny fire up
into it's self,as i have explained and will try again u can turn window's on fully,and the game become's a call ..ie start/all-program's/golf
or it can revert back to normal window's..mind u, u will want to up the hard-drive size as window's will want to fully up-date,not sure about hercule's
as it is basicly a fat 32 proggie :dos: under window's control .dat/.ini call
i can explore it futher if the interest is there
also side note here the t10 can be fullt turned on by simpley adding the nessary driver's to the gobal-vr .dat/.ini
ed
-
I'm willing to help either by hosting or helping with the costs....which platform.. XP?
-
hi
richmondjefe
i have loaded and have reloaded it into xp-sp3
the olny problem i have found so far is some security problem's
ie viruis scanner's go nuttie with hercules
u :allow: it,i have done it manual and auto/manual is best
also please note it is a :shadow: program...the moment >hercules< load's up..i will try to tweak it's .exe/.bat/.dat..as it is a .dat
i am sure a few hard coder's can follow the lead there..
ppl need to be clear as to how they want it to run to me
ie if u want :call: control or not,and this is very important,do not lose sight of that point..as it goes to :hosting: yes we asign a set/set of ppl that are allowed,ie 10-20-30/player's card is nessary here >very important point<
as we look for it,over head if we share it will stay under 80gig
aslo as i was tinkering tonight,:dchp: is fine >as-long-as-u-asign-a-static-#> thk-u lilshawn < for making that point

i just read this whole thread. i am very interested in being able to upgrade my machine to open up all the courses and players. i would also be super exited to be able to play tournys with other players. that being said i have no experience with programing or changing windows or anything. is there anybody that could walk me thru it in VERY simple terms as i did not understand half of what was in this thread. i want to learn but i have no computer background, im one of those dumb constrution guys. haha
also, my machine has a very dark picture but only when you are hitting the ball. ie when the picture shows the course. when the game is on any other screen it looks just fine. is this something wrong with the video card or hard drive or something else. i have tried to adjust the monitor to find a happy medium but its still not right.
any help would be very much appreciated.

hi
yes i will be up-loading some stuff in finished forum

Ed i have read this thread and i am in need of some help. i have a pga golf cabinet and a DF1 computer with the championship III software. i am having some issues with the game itself. i have loaded all the software per the instructions and it boots to the game just fine. the problem is when i go to try and play an actual course. its like it loops after entering the credits and selecting the golfer and the specific course the screen goes black for a second and then back to the global VR screen like it first starts up. any help would be greatly appreciated. either getting the newer courses or whatever. it sitting there is killing me. i have scoured the internet and i am over on klov but there isn't any info there for the pga. plenty of info for golden tee which is pretty useless for me.

hi
u say it loads the course
then :loop's-back-to gobal-vr-logo: ?
if so
a=it passed the key problem
b=it passed the dongle
u have a corrput cmd.dat
it is in the hercules module
let me dig it up
give me a byte here
the looping is putting it back to the start
the game dose not rest it's self dose it ?
if so we need to reload a few moudle
i will need to .zip them and upload
u will need to know how to mount them
if not i can try to walk u through it
it will not be on any disk but your resuse disk
if u have that ?
do not mount it,just say u do or do not

yes it goes back to the global vr logo after selecting lets says tpc sawgrass... the computer doesn't shut off it just restarts the software back at the logo screen like an initial start up. black screen for a second, where it would normally go to the actual course introduction and what not, and then right back to the "start up" logo. i have four disks the express install disk the two software disks and the emergency recovery disk. not sure how to mount them
ed you can email me at "aol.com" with my screen name here if it is easier. i really appreciate it!!! Jeremy

hi
its ok this is easy the mbr on the harddrive is done
this is why it cycles
hercules is missing the final .dat part
if u read the thread i have permission from gobal vr to fix the code
and post it
so u ppl can get going again
they have read the code set
we do not have to be private about this
do me a fav
get a new hd about 20gig or so nothing big
we can mount which means load the game onto it
u use the resucue disk :it will format for u:
then demand u load in the rest...
from there u can see where i did the bulk of the edit work
by reading the thread
do not use your old hd,as it has a bad mbr..and u will again chase your tail
so we start fresh
plug in a cd rom-reader to the gobal-vr,it look's for it first,it is echoed
so u cannot c the start up stuff :bios:,but with the cd in,it will detect it
u start there and load up

no,the game is windowsxpe
the rescuse disk will do all the work for u

ok ed.
i put in a new 40g HD and it is still doing the same thing. i was told the memory could be biting it but i doubt that since all the videos plays all the selections through operators menu and so forth.

hi
yes the mem on them thing's can cause that
also so can the video card..
which card are u using ?
and how is the fan>most important q< ?
also i have found that the powersupply get's flackie
with the new hd in place we have removed it from the list of q's
do u have a spare putter laying around ?
if so stick the new/old hd in it,along with the donggle and interface card
and see what happen's, as this will narrow the range down for us
the ausiu board dose have a life span
but thk god we can run the game on dif putter's real easy

Sorry for double post browser crashed and didn't realize the first one went through plz delete can't seem to do it myself.

hi
CVN53
np on the double
here is what u do
open the game using the on board video drive if u have 1 ?
if not use any pci video card that will allow u to c the start up screen >windows-logo<,>click start >mouse is used here<,go to winexplorer
send it to the desktop :short-cut:,from there go to window's program file's
from there load in the driver's for the new card,from there go to hercules
and repoint the program to search for the new driver's of the new video card,it should then just load up as normal,if not read my first few post's
i explained how to do it in more detail
but rember u want window's to know the card is there
and then with the repoint in hercules u should be good to go
if u have problem's i will gladly add the driver's for u and post
ed
-
Thanks for quick reply I have loaded the drivers and windows sees the video card in device manager and no errors on boot.I will go to hercules and point it to the new video card.I will try that this week.
I don't have the computer took it back not realizing video card is proprietary,everything loaded but after courses finished loading it went black but when I hit start button the picture was there for about 2 seconds then black again. Then I found this thread so thx again.
Thanks Ed

Hi Ed
Added hercules setup to hercules folder is that correct? after adding do I need to reboot? I guess I need u to walk me through it.

hi
no it is a stand alone proggie
it is to allow u to :edit:hercules
this way u can edit the .dat and .bat file's in hercules
now watch it
it come's from cnet,which i am not personally inpressed with
!!scan the proggie first!!
from here i can up-load your .dat's

hi
and if your in canada it is stand alone
i asked u to open the windows up for now so u can reach explorer and do the edit's nessary
once they are done u can then recolse it,to allow the game to load normal
ie: with just the windows logo.then it goe's to gobal vr screen
antoher hint here,if u are like me and hate waiting for it,put in another stick of ram..
here is where u will be doing some of the edit's
i will do a .txt to explain how to do it
also this is just a small ammount..bear with me

Ed
I am very lost on how a network utility is going to edit hercules but awaiting your instuctions on how to do this.
Thanks
-
hi
before tonight is out i will up-load the nessary editor
i have a few other's to add it will be edit these 2 .zip
this just take awhile
best bet here is to open a .dir in your own machine first
and then load all the file's in i up-load
then u can edit and test on your machine first
to this do not run it like a gobal vr but rather to test once u recompile,
as u are un-compling .exe/.bat/.dat

Hi Ed, I have read ur thread with much interest as I have just purchased my own team challenge machine n would love to be able to upgrade my of with a better graphics card. I would also really love to unlock all the players and courses and all the game face stuff aswell and would be really interested to play this online as it was done in the past or even direct link to anothe PGA golf machine if possible. However most of what u have written is a bit complex for me and if u could just explain how any of this can be done I would really appreciate ur guidance. I am in Australia and have an access all areas machine and a operators plus card. I do not however have any recovery disks?
Hope to hear from u soon. Thx Joe

Never had an issue with megatouches or big buck pro (both run linux) but have had nothing but issues with PGA golf and pokertec (both run windows)
it almost makes me angry they chose windows over linux.
-
hi lilshawn
yes it run's 100% faster and fault's out less then windows
now we can do this thing 2 way's
please pay attenion
a=run it inside of the window's xp:e:
b=stand alone
my personal is stand alone
the reason linux run's faster is it uses less cpu overhead
plus it is not a ram hound
now with that said
we can run it inside window's
just need to make the pointer point to linux
how stable it would be i do not know
will test it

Welcome back Ed
Will be looking for the fix to see new video card, really glad that your back.
Thanks CVN53

hi CVN53
could u do me a fav and post the model # of the video card ?
i know u already did but i promised i would do that first
will be around most of the day/night
ed

Hi Ed
Model of video card ATI 9800GT 256mb agp,already have drivers installed just need global vr to see the new card.
Thx CVN53
-
hi
there two all over the board to find proper driver's
did your's come from the cd ?
or do u have a link ?
ed
-
hi
these are your edit point's
pay attenion to 3dfx,as hercules need's and point's to it
now to edit get all of dll's for the new video card
rem out the old driver's :DO NOT REMOVE THEM:.
place in your u dated video driver's
the other file's are to show u were we go with this proggie
ed
-
hi
i just tried something
and knowing your video card is deteced,by windows at least
u could re-load the driver's and point it to hercules/3dfx,it should load your dll's..
then it should just over=write your current window's video driver's
also if u are strong in window's system32 u could manualy pull the nessary driver's
or u can .zip the installer post it
i will get it and c what can be done,i have just done a test using the up-method
seemed to work
ed
-
Hi Ed
I am not sure what u what me to do with the old drivers,do I place them in another folder and where?I have no clue how to use the hercules setup program.I am not a coder so I will need some step by step instructions.I will zip up the exe for ati card in a bit so you can look at it.Hope I am not putting you out to much because I lack understanding of what you are trying to get me to do.
Thx appreciate all your help in getting this game working again.
CVN53
-
Hi Ed
Here is the ati setup.exe
sry attachment to big
Thx CVN53
-
hi
just .zip or .rar the file
it should up-load
and what i want u to do is basic vb
u do not need high level skill's
if u load the setup .exe and point it to hercles/the video file
it will not over write the .dll's in there
they should sit side by each
when i get back,i will do another test of this and post u the way

Hi ed, I figured out the reason for my monitor being so dark. Somebody bad turned down the gamma setting in the game menu. I now have as great picture.
I have another question. Everytime I turn the game on. It stops loading and say I have no card reader. I've swapped in another card reader. I've swapped cables. Is this normal because its not linked to vr anymore or is something wrong with my computer that I can check out?
Also mine is team challenge not championship edition.

Ok but I don't know how to get those files to note pad to edit,it seems like I am missing something.I have no cfg file that I can find.It looks like u use pe explorer to open but I don't have that program or know how to use it.

hi
dirt
thats what i thought
the cardplayer should plug into the aux usb port >the board with 4 usb ports on it
then the game dongle board can plug into the 4 way and or the main usb of the mobo thats the 1 i like best,but that is the reason for the 4 port card.
plus that card is usb 2 which is what the card reader's are
CVN53
hi yes pe explorer u can get it free
and if u have ever used a editor u will catch on fast
i am still trying to find your dll's..wish u had done a system 32 snap shot before and after the install,but i will get there from here bear with me

I don't think I have a 4 port card in mine. I only see the 2 USB ports at the top of the tower.
Sent from my LG-P509 using Tapatalk 2

hi
dirt
yes i c u do not
your problem will be that the card reader is usb2 and the mombo's usb port's
are usb1,c if u can find a 4 port usb card, it will be a pcmia
plug it in and then plug the reader into it
let me know
ed
-
Hi Ed
No I have never used an editor,so when it comes to viruses, mb problems I can do that kind of stuff but I am pretty much in the dark with want you are doing here . So if I can get a step by step by step for this video card it would be nice,if it is to much of hassle let me know and I will quit posting,I know your helping people but this may be way over my ability.
Thanks for all your help.

Hi Ed glad to see u r back n really love ur work. I love this game but am looking to unlock all courses, players, items etc n would love to play online against my friends who also have this game. Is any of this possible if so would love you to explain how?
Eagerly awaiting ur reply thx heaps Ed.
Joe

hi
spitfire
and thk-u
answer to your q is a total yes
we remove the dial up
enable the boot lan rom
then we set up a vpn virtuial private network
the best way is static ip-ing,but i cannot really see that hapenning with dchp
so the other way around is to collect most base ip-addy's 224.224.110.0-10
and work it up from there,now i made it sound simple..maybe for a full it guy it is
but i would need a nudgh or 2 in the right way,so i will leave it open to any colsed ip guy's to chime in here..also we re-.cfg herc to know we are going stream on lan
so we add it's driver's and pointer's,up here in the great white north we use rodger's wireless modem's with the chip card,this lock's them into static ip-ing
much like your pay as u go phone's..
as for the player's,u will need the new course set and a player's card
plus loan of an operater's card to load them,un-less u have 1 ?

hi

ok good we are back where we started :) i must admit u had me concered
let me recap so i get the fact's right
u have 2-x card reader's ?
both doing the same thing
but if u use the start button the game will do it's normal bypass and carry on properley ???,play a game or 2 and let's c if there are any other hick up's
we can test the reader on a normal putter by loading the nessary driver's into the :host:,and plugging in the unit to the new :host:
that would be my next move

now if we plug the card reader's into
any window's xp usb port
it should report
found new hardware :stc-11-sdk device:
let's try that with the 2 unit's in q and c what happen's
rem to shut off the first 1 if it detect's before u try the second 1
this will narrow our range down,.. do u have a usb mem stick or a usb keyboard laying around ?

and coin door and the 5 to sub system's,it should be located at the front of the cab,is a normal putter switcher,also chk the heat sink of the micro,if need be
remove fan and housing alummin and re-heat-sink-lube-it,and put in new fan's
all around,forget cleaning them as that is a patch at best

Hi Ed this sounds very exciting, now if only u can instruct me on how I can make this happen please? My machine is a team challenge with an upgrade kit all access pass it says. This gives me a few more courses than normal as my cousin has the normal team challenge machine. I also have players cards n 1 operator plus card n as previously stated would love instructions on how to unlock all players courses items tournament online etc. let's start with unlocking players courses.
Can u please provide step by step instructions this would be greatly appreciated?

hi
spitfire
the ins. u are after is perty much straight foward now that u have answered 1 q
op card...with it the new.cfg/.dat that i will put toghter, will go in seam-less.
it does in into hercules and replace's the orignal,the demand and u will c it is that it make's a back up .dat of the original .dat,this must :must: be put in it's own .dir
it is a command in the .dat i will not un-lock at all do not ask..
as far as turnnie goes i am north of the border,u should beable to hook to gobal-vr's net. in the usa ?,there hub is in the great windy city
ping it,if not u can set a few bud's up,using your unit as the server head,u will need ram..512k is just not enough,plus a new asus mirco would not hurt with a wack of ram so u have buffer to play on line,vpn require's a min of bandwith
and ptp is the best way,your machine must stay on at all time's or :server: link
is lost.it is coded to use 2 reader's read it 2 1=op 1=player = u
op must must be in there at all time's or u crash the system,all dat is saved in your unit,so u see where a rather large storgage device is handy here,no i have not coded into cloud so if some one want's to chime in i am all ear's:)
dial up is rather slow,straight dsl is good enough,wireless 5g is best for now
we could do 802-11-g/h/new-z any of them can be coded in
u must pick as the .dat call's for it and will expect it.
once i upload the .dat it come's with a brief how to,follow the short set of how to's
u are just about there...it will ask u alot of q's have your pen and paper handy
u will be writting down alot of #'s.,they must be put in and saved

Hi Ed
Thx heaps for this response this all sounds great n wish to proceed as instructed to get things happening. Am I right in saying that you will supply me with a new cfg file n new dat file that I need to add to my system. If so please instruct how u will get this to me n what I need to do to make this unlock new players courses items etc.
In regards to the tournaments I am in Australia n not sure if I will be able to hook into the USA server without any lag however I can try. Also are you asking me to change pcs in order to make this run locally. If so I have a few Acer core duos 2.4ghz handy which I can use with 4gig ram. Would it be just a matter of swapping out the hard drives n plugging everything to the new pc including the dongle. Will this work? If so then would love to get it set up with ur help and instructions. Please let me know exactly what you need me to do Ed?
Thx heaps ,

ok u are aussie,let me do it it this way
i will set the control.dat to a max of ten
the olny reason i asked u to ram up

game will shadow in the background >ram-here-is-needed<
next we set ip's that are allowed into your box >this is important<
as u are as your buddy's will b
acting like a server,so u MUST colse the door to snoop's
private network ie vpn
next we snap our ip's,which in your case if u are high speed ? will be dchp
so we will need to asign a .net code >front door< and auth password..
this is where hercules come's into play
we write the command .dat
so pick your # of ppl or i will set it to a max of 10 ?

Hi Ed
Trying my best to set things up as you suggested. My bios is all setup as u require. Now looking to setup VPN in windows. It asks if I want to use my smart card for this connection do I say yes or no?
Also not sure how to get into windows while game is loading? I clicked the start button but game kept loading so I hit control alt delete n stopes game that way. I then loaded I explore.exe as open desktop didn't work under new task as per ur instructions. Also needing to run a LAN cable to the machine unless a wireless dongle might work??
In the mean time can you advise me on how to unlock all players n courses as I see they are all there on my system so I can enjoy them until we figure out how to play online against my friends.
Thx once again Ed for all your help.

hi

f8
will take u to windows safe mode in start-up
u just keep hitting it until windows answer u >this is safe mode defualt cmd<
windows must answer it.....
from there u go start
and follow what i stated
ie start/control-panel/internet option's/connection's/setup/add/the ip's u want to ping into u and u into them,that is vpn,we then tell herc that it is lan :not dial up:
as hercules clealy show's a dial -up connection in it's .cfg this is under :connexict:
we just change that to our new :ethernet:
invoke other course's c:/gobalvr/add/player's/def table.....ie where they are and who they are...
u must define each and every 1
i am on the side of safe mode right now
ed

Hi Ed,
Follow what you said n used f8 to get into windows I am able to set up vpns. Do I set up one for every ip that will link to my machine including one for my machine? Awaiting ur instructions and the file uploads to make these tournaments happen.
Also couldn't find c:/gobalvr/add/player's/def table as you suggested on my system. Do I have to create these folders n if so wat needs to go in them to unlock all courses players items etc. I can see folders of different players n courses would do much love to add these to my game. Please instruct how I can do this as I am desperate to have them unlocked.
Thx heaps for ur patience Ed just can't seem to understand wat to do n I guess it's all very easy in ur eyes lol

hi
spitfire
u add ip's u want to ping into
the iper's >there end< must also do the same
i am chking to see if u have to spec your's in your own machine or not ?
as u are dchp i think not,but i will not stamp as such until i run some routing test's
tonight,the player's and course's are clearly marked where i said they will be,u can
expand on them :ie-add: just keep in mind there atrabuite's when saving them
ie the same >.extenision< as the other player's and course's,we still have baby step's to take before we fully invoke online turrnie play,ie we need to set herc
for lan instead of dial-up,we need to kill the dial-up and add our own ip-.cfg to herc
dirt
i did the test's,your onboard usb should handle the card-reader
sorry if i caused confusion and had u spend money u did not have to :(
but all of the pga's i have expect the test 1 use's a exp. card
so i was going by feild exp,forgetting i had redone my .cfg in this unit
to do just that
ed

ok. i got the usb card cheap so thats no problem. the usb card does work as i loaded the file you gave me with a flash drive before the puter shut down. if the mobo usb can handle the card reader then it must be a file or something wrong because the mobo and the card dont see the reader, or both my readers are bad. i bought the second reader as tested good but you never know. im going to get to the machine later today and ill post what i find out about the fans and ram.

as thats how i c it
if so this is made by :it's gamming:
and if so u will need to use ati >green-video-card< and or red nivda
of eariler verision
to open there hard drive i will need to boot to linux
as the video is controlled by a=eprom and b=pgl chip
it is perty much hard coded in
but all is not lost if this is the case as i have crossed over many of them
to other video card's
pga golf by gobal vr dose have the forementiond .dir's exposed and u can edit at will

Hi Ed
The video card is a red card if that is what u mean

hi

i am refering to the main board
if it is a 2005,then this is a it's gaming board
red or green,gobal vr is a stand alone putter
please clear me up and i can better guide u

Hi

Its a green mainboard,its a intel board Rev. B is all I can see.Where are the .dir's located if they are exposed or is that in linux.

Hi Ed
Thx for reply. As I said previously I don't have those folders on my c drive. I can see players names and courses elsewhere in a few different places but please explain step by step on how to add them to the game? Do I need to add code or something? Please explain the steps for us not so smart fools ha ha
Thx Spitfire

hi
cvn53 give me a few here
i need to chk something,maybe u could up-load of pic. of this unit ?
spitfire
ya i will do a walk through
it's easy enough once u do it a few time's
but if u have never done it i can see where u can become confused
u will also need a walk through to invoke the :lan: as it is a tad more involved
i will suggest u print both out and keep them handy until u become more flunet
in this..>no dis there mate<,turn's out i need to write the complete .exe file for the lan so that will set me back a day,i kust may brute force it,but i am not sure if it will stick..i have my network set now so i can test tonight

Hi Ed,
Eagerly awaiting those walk through n yes I will print n keep handy. As I will need to run on my friends machines also. I will look into my c drive tonight n post the folders I have in it if you like. However with the step by step walk through to unlock courses players etc I think it will become clearer which folder you want me to go into. Still need instructions though on what to do once there to unlock things to bring up in game. Thx spitfire

hi
spitfire
if u click a mouse as per my inst on to invoke window's with pga shadowing
in the back-ground,but the game running in reg mode,i know that sound's strange
but the point here is to invoke/mouse/window's control over the game,which u would have if u fowlled my ins >with-out-re-booting<,as the game will default to normal,from there,u will beable to see pga 2006 or +,if u look at the file ext's it want's to open they are olny anark media file's >this is how the eng's of gobal<
hid the file's,we need to add a window's call for all knowen file type's,no bigie here
it just a few .dll's
cvn53
do me a fav and set your hard-drive to slave and pop it inside of your home tower and or an external,rem your last jumper setting as it just might be cable select,and will need to go back when we are done
from there depending on the box u are hooking to it will be
EXAMPLE HERE c:\pga\hercules in there u should see 3dfx
it should show up as pga-->>drive<< hercules,then u should see nividia >video driver pack<..we need your new video card id there and in hercules
for the 3 of u spitfire/cvn53/dirt if u all can remove the harddrive and do it this way
we can better get to collective goal's
thk god for sqxml i never thought i would say that as i do not like sequeal server
but it's there and hard coded in i see no reason to redo it
spitfrie i am doing this on a running pga team challange
in pm shortly i will be giving u my ip and asking for your's as it will be a test
to make sure i got my ### right,then she's all your's

Hi Ed, I did as you have instructed using f8 n had the game running in the background n yes I do have a Pga 2006 folder also many others. However couldn't find the globalvr folder n it's subfolders u ask me to goto to add new players. I have a gvr folder gvr plus folder but no subfolders matching ur description above. I will wait until u have everything ready to go to be able to add/unlock the new players courses n items etc n also the online tournaments before I go changing to much as I really want to continue playing the game as I fn love it ha ha. My email is js@soccerproacademy.com.au if you need to send me any files or instructions once u have them ready to go. Thanks once again Ed for all ur work. Thx Joe

Hi Ed haven't had a chance to look how many courses I have however I have an access all areas upgrade on my machine so there are about 25 or so that I can play. However my cousins machine has alot less so I would like to be able to unlock them for him.
I would like to unlock on my machine the extra players as I see tiger woods Arnold Palmer Adam scott etc in my players folder but they are not present in the game. Also all the items in game face would be great also.
Just waiting on instructions from you on how to do this.
Thanks in advance for all your help.

Hi Ed
This is a fresh reinstall with recovery disk with the new ATI video card installed, just added ATI drivers after reinstall so maybe nvidia drivers were not installed just a thought, the installer is there on start page but without a nvidia card installed don't think it will install the drivers.

hi
cvn53
ya without the nivdia seeing the card it will error out..
is the unit working with the ati ?
please chk for the dll's i have been on about
they have to be in herc somewhere
or herc will not were to point for video drive
spitfire
it will be a batch file
so it will be perty straight foward
if your buddy's are missing courses
no fear as once u are setup as server they can snag them from your uint

hi

i wish u would leave 1 card in or the other
so i can better point u
it is very hard to keep up with swap's
but i will dig them out.i was going to up-load the nessary dll's
this has now changded,i know u want to get to playing golf but
walk with me...
spitfire
it will be on an apchace tomcat server front end
this mean's nothing to u per-say,expect the fact it is super fast and secure
the .bat file u can open and expand on if u so want
i am just hardcoding it into hercule's as a .exe,but the control .bat can be edited on the fly,using notepad/or any txt-editor
this is what took the time
it is small enough it can up-load
get back to u in a byte
it is 1:am here and i just d/l all of netbean's
so i am tired

Hi Ed
Sorry about the swap but I thought I had to get the nvidia stuff activated some how, but I will go through your posts and try to work it out.In your post you keep talking about a herculestest.exe I don't see that is that the way to test game without the cabinet or is there a way.

hi

i am doing your's repecsted .exe's tonight
cvn53 your's is rather small
spitfire your's will need a full .txt
to make these yourself
do this
start/run
in run type iexpress
u can edit the file as i am leaving it open ended >ie not locked<
it is a cmd file >.exe< inside of hercule's
or rather add to the hercule's .dir
cvn53 have u made your final desion on a video card?
as it take's a byte to asamble the nessary dll's
spitfire,pm your ip
do this by doing this cmd
start/run/ipcfg
it should show u all your #'s
i DO NOT NEED YOUR MAC
if u can not pm >edwarddowney@hotmail.com<
as i will need this info
if u can edit that's even better
for u there is a few .exe's in .zip format
1=apache
1=ip setting's
1=the list of ppl whom can share with u
1=a firewall for snoop's

hi
cvn53
if u have followed my ins.set on how to run window's on shadow mode
pga running,u would right click the mouse
and pull up all the dir's involved
now here is the problem as i c it
they list up as anark file's >this is how they hide them<
if u try to go to full list ie all file's it will not go there
i do believe this is why u are having 1 of your problem's
second as i pointed out the nivdia 6200 is a self installer
it is told to go to :window's: and not c:\pga,where nivdia driver's reside..
as hercule's will not look into program file's,as u are hoping it will
reason is simple pga is a shell ran in windows xp:e:
now if open like i have asked u
c:\pga >with game running< u will see all of the native .dir's
that run pga,if how ever u slave as i requested u can open and read any file in it
i will try to do u a control .dat that will repoint hercule's to c:\window's\program file's
this may or may not work ?,but it will take a byte longer to load

hi ed,
i pulled the puter from the cabinet. plugged it in and it is still making the long beeps and wont load. i looked and the video card has no fan. there is a fan on the motherboard, 1 in the power supply, and 1 in the front of the tower. all three are working.
i also just replaced the cmos battery again with a new one and its still doing the same thing.
-
hi
dirt
long beeb's is usally cmos
count them
they will cycle
what u can do is replace the ddr as that will cause it
or the video card
something other then the harddrive is not allowing it past post
this is normaaly a low level cmos problem
the cdrom and harddrive are handled by a higher irq
the cmos should go
1=processer
2=sub processer
3=ram
4=video card
5=keyboard
6=mouse
if it passe's these test's
then it move's to harddrive/floppy/cdrom :which ever way u have them set: in the cmos
ed
-
ok,i pulled out the ddr and put it back in, i dont have another stick that has the same notches in it. the puter came on and started the tests. it stopped and says:
cmos checksum error - defaults loaded
warning! cpu has been changed
please re- enter cpu settings in th cmos setup and remember to save before quit!
i wait to hear from you before i do anything i dont want to mess anything up, as you can probably tell im not a computer guy. i know just enough to make me dangerous. haha
-
hi
dirt
chk-sum error is a fairly good thing
plug in a key board
fire unit
hit delete >to get to cmos<
reset time/date
cdrom as 0 >first boot device<
harddrive as 1>as second boot device<
turn the floppy off >disable<
go to advanced and go to floppy seek and disable it
exit and save new setting's
reboot with keyboard/mouse/cdrom/hardrive hooked up
it should olny come up with setting's have changed accept these setting's
yes
game should load
if u read the pdf's i uploaded
u will see where they point to the dual usb card port
and they tell not to use the putter's own usb
but i find it confilcting at best
post me on how u make out

In the first PDF it says to set the BIOS. The 4th one, power management setup----power loss resume state----turn on.
I don't have power loss resume state in mine.

hi

your bios my list it as last known state
or such
it should be in either advanced and or power mag.
if u do not have it
no fear's,i can write a cmos auto boot routine for u
or u could see if there is a bios up-date on your board's mfg site
any way's a power switch is not so bad kinda yuck though
look deeper in advanceded as these board's are set to auto reboot
let me know the mfg and rev

nevermind the last question as soon as i read iti realized that is what i was looking for.

hi
general hello to all
thing's we should have learned
a=bios is a bit#h if the battery fail's
b=ram is the same
c=swapping video card's in a winxp:e: box is not like swapping them in normal window's >they need :special pointer's:<
d=the onboard lan will work and will respond to your modem
proff is to right click mouse in screen
and tell it to go to :ie:,if it bark's it is not set, this a stranded window's setup
e=the window's set is very reduced,u should know this by the size of the harddrive,again if we want to add most likely we will need to add manual .dll's/oxc's,basic program file's >without< bloating or unit

i have found 2005
will load onto a hd tonight
and copy it out so i can find where to point u
as i still think u need to try this :example-here:
load the driver's, but first we repont hercule's by placing it in the window's main .dir,then we repoint our installer
:load to where c:\hercule's:
it should pick up it's .dll's it want's
next we write a .bat
c:\pga_2005\hercules\>name of video card<\where the driver's rest >ie< window's\system32
it is much like that

the mobo i was going to use is a hunck of crap so i just through it out
it dose not take 10-time's to resize a disk and load the game
kept comming back no boot disk
and no it was not bios setting's
it would load into ram
then when u rebooted as required
no boot secter found :as if it was loading from the cd again:,so it met a ugly death
all is not lost i have another mobo here ready to lock and load
i am still out as to how i am gonna convice it that i do have a 6200 vid card

Hi Ed would it be possible after remarking it all out and adding ur tournament file to just run my routers firewall to keep out the unwanted and add the wanted ISP to my routers firewall exceptions???

hi
cvn53
that is the i/o board is not seening the usb
on the back of the putter
is 2 usb slot's,u could try hooking to 1 of these then go to the :i/o: card where it tie's the game control's in,there will be a spot for the other end of the usb cable,
it will not look like usb but rather a square knotch,that is where the other end of the usb cable goe's,also if u powered the i/o board with the internal power plug
unplug it >the power-plug<,and let the usb do it,now u would note i said to dirt he should be using the pcia usb extenter board,and up-loaded the pdf on it
u can tell if it is working because the green light on the i/o card will come on
spirtfire
i asked and showed u were we need to edit
i just need to do the edit >today<
i will repost,u copy save as .txt,copy your txt and make the new copy calling it vbs,then u rename the main 1 1filename.vbs
and the new 1 filename.vbs
this way hercules will call in our edited 1 and will not see the oringal which we keep for backup in the same .dir

Hi Ed
Thanks green light working, I got it loaded to where u put money in to start a game,because this is where the screen just went blank when actually starting a game when connected to cabinet,so is there a way to start a game using a mouse and keyboard.
CVN53

hi
cvn53
no need
if u are that far,press test switch.go to control's invoke freeplay,it is there
not sure off the top of my head,but i do think
option's or in coinage
u will find it go slow through all the drop down menu's
once there and set to free play press select
then exit out
it's funny it never barked at u about the card reader?
spitfire
i printed out the file so i can edit better
ed
-
Hi Ed
I am not in the game cabinet its 60 miles away,I know about the test switch in the cabinet but I need to try and load a course without the cabinet with just the computer and keyboard and mouse.Yes it stalls at no card reader for 10 or 15 secs then continues on,that way I know if the new video card works once we get it pointed to hercules.
CVN53
-
hi
cvn53
so u do not have any off the control's ?
if so i have a printout of them into the i/o board..
if u gotten to it to skip past the card reader interface test ?
then u are 50% there..
i will find my note's on the nessary button's,do u have a track ball handy ?,
+ u willl need +5volt's to feed it,also u will need it in free play or it will coin error out on u

Hi Ed I also see all the golfers in the Pga 2006\players folder 43 in total will u also be providing instructions on how to unlock n be able to select these players?
Thx Spitfire
-
hi ed,
after adding the extra fan and leaving the back door off the cabinet i have had no issues except the card reader. do you think both of my card readers are bad or maybe something else. some backround, the game came with a card reader in it and when the game could not see it i bought another that was suppose to be tested working from ebay. im a realist and i know there is a chance that the ebay card reader is dead too. if i plug the card reader into my laptop and goto, control panel, add hardware, what should i be looking for? basicly what would it be named?
-
hi
dirt
if u hook it to windows xp
the first thing u should c is new hardware found
from there it will want driver's
i believe i posted u on the mfg and model #
in a post on this thread
plug 1 in first if it dose that >found new hard-ware< unplug it
wait,for window's to settle down and or restart window's,some times
window's get's confused,anyway's after reboot try the other 1
if it say's the same thing?, find load driver's,and u should see it in control panel
spitfire
yes
and congrad's on vb scripting

i plugged it in to my laptop and first it said "mo1002" then new found hardware usb human interface device then your new found hardware is ready to use. it never asked for drivers.

Hi Ed

hi

huh ?
she must have usb2
because usb1 in xp dose not do that call
it say's new hardware found,etc,etc,etc
and a proff in the pudding is to take a usb stick and plug it in
to a usb port,it had better say new hardware,and then a min or less come back with new hardware installed and ready to use
spirtfire
i will be on for the next few evening's
the am's i will be moving equipment around,but as i said i printed out the vbs
so i can do a better edit :)
cvn53
a spare putter power supply will do the job
do u have a connector that will fit the interface plug to the i/o board ?
if so can u solder wire's ? i truly hope so or u are doing a 60 mile road trip,if
u have a female plug 37pin's i do believe and know how to solder i can walk u through a test head,we olny need a few button's and the track ball,with a common
ground to our pga unit,after we set to free play we olny need
test/start/trackball

Hi Ed how's it all going hopefully close to unlocking all players items etc n getting an online game with mate going?
Thx Joe

hi
spitfire
yes thing's are going good so far mate
u are right to wait for the final script
thk's for pointing that out to me
as vb can get real ass bitchy real fast
ie 1 typo
and u restart
welcome to my world
hence the reason i printed it out
so i can foot note what can come out what can stay etc..this time around if 1 person dose it,instead of a collictive...it should come out error free
which so far is good
p.s i have pinged u :):)
u just did not know it
no fear's mate i just made sure i could see u
would u do me a fav?
and grab a dlink router,?,u know 1 of then 4 port job's
and hook the pga into it along with your home box <as it serv's> as the dchp host :ip:,from there on the pga we turn on :sharing: of the hard-drive-pga-box-olny,
your home box's do not need to be shared...so again no fear's,and if u want u can firewall them to be sure,we just want the dchp connection to your router..
so u can read into everyone else's pga's >THEY MUST DO THE SAME<,
the script's for 0-9..u can expand if u want
i have left it open ended...
0=ed
can not be changed,DO NOT EVEN TRY...
u may need a few .dll's from microsoft
i will chk into it,..side note here how did the linking go ?
as i have done tunrnnie's with cursing usa..up to 6

hi
i just looked over my last post
and what i wanted to tell u is not there
so let me try this again
firewall.zip is the firewall.vbs script
i have changed it to firewall.xvb
so u can edit on the fly in a window's shell
now u d/l winexp.zip it is the window's explorer script by dexter
i have used it for it seem's like a hundered year's
open the script go to tool's/ options
and turn on line #'s
once u open the script u will see where line's are commeted out
ie >>'<< just the '
this is where u do edit's in and out of
when u want to test the final script
rename it to reflect .vbs :ie firewall.vbs:
winexp will no longer see it but hercule's will
i will call the final name in a day or 2
in this attachment is sct10en.exe

Hi Ed I have done as you asked and have the win explorer.exe file loaded on the c drive in its own folder n have the script line numbers on and can open the firewall file in it. What needs to be done from here? Is this firewall file the replacement for the firewallenable.vbs file I edited previously? If so should replace it or does it need to be edited further n if so do I edit in in the winexplorer.exe file? Awaiting ur further instructions? I also have added an extra 256mb of ram to my machine that I had which I now have 768mb ram total.

if not make 1
this attachment is directx 9c it is the min the 6200 will work on

it will not work under 6 and is flackey under 7
because the runtime's do not support it
there is a full list of dll's on the window's devloper page i need to get and have u install,plus u will be need a few more for :ie:,because without them

Thx in advance.

Hi Ed
Ok the n4.zip is in the nvidia folder tried to install dxwebsetup.exe but this version os not supported,I am thinking the dll's and extra stuff I need is to allow dxwebsetup to install correct. I have internet on Pga but no virus protection but to install dxwebsetup you need the internet to install it, I did this and got the error not supported by this Os.I looked in system32 for my drectx version it is Version directx 9.0c (4.09.0000.0904) just for your info.
Do I need to install the directx_9c_eulas.exe?
Thanks CVN53

hi
cvn53
all of the file's i attached are for u
placing them in 1 at a time is just not going to do the job
u will see why when i am done up-datting
the error u get is because
a=u are running windowsxpE >embedded<
b=it run's on very limted .ins set
c=i need to build it 1 file at a time
then we can make a bootable cd,and load them all in at once
it is a matter of time till i get them all toghter
spitfire
if u do not have a spare video card that the pga will take
then yes that is part of the pourpse of this thread to remove legacey hardware and up-grade,is the fan on your video card working right ?
if so i will spec the card u want to run,and snag it's dll's tool's etc
because unless u missed alot it is not as simple as window's shove in a card and let it detect,will not work dose not work that way
a=windowsxp> E<
b=fat32x mbr
c=pga is a semi dos based game
so hence the reason i am now in talk's with nvidia to get there dll;s and tool's needed for cvn53,u will be the same
ed
-
hi
ok so i can put this 1 to bed
there is a total of 6 dll file's used
and 1 oxc file
thats a total
6+1=7 dynamic link libary's
there is a total of 27+16 window's script file's
where some are dual's of the other we can round off
at 35 give or take
nvidia has a root call
both in disk1 and 2
the rescue disk is mainly pqmagic
that is used to resize to max space >fat32x=1024 to the power of x< x is defined by mfg mbr
so as u can clearly see if u know window's
the dynaic link libary's are none exitisnt for all partacial proupse's
in conculision i am going to restart this proggie from scratch
all u will need is your rescue disk
side note there is 1 call to direct-x-6
ecen though it is window's xpe it is built on window's home edition
i am going to ramp t to window's pro sp3
if the drive will support that much ?
if not i will chop to fit
now this is a big task, if u need open ended to add your own driver's tool's exe's ask now,i know what cvn53 want's,spitfire u will need to spec a apg card i can code into
if that is all beside's the .net patching for turnnie
then we can move fast,i am ramming up tonight to process
speak up or hold on

Hi Ed, there are 3 things I would like to get done.
1 = tournament play versus 2 of my mates that have PGA machines
2 = a way to unlock items players and courses for my mates as I already have access all areas pass
3 = and now to upgrade my 128m NVidia card to a 512m x1650PRO ATI card as my nVidia seems to be playing up.
I have followed ur thread n am keen to make the above happen and thank you for all ur work.
However I will not be doing anymore editing until u notify me that all works n u have clear instruction s on how to make it work on mine and my mates machines.
Waiting for ur instructions
Thx Spitfire

Hi Ed, maybe easier to just buy another nVidia agp card. Will they all work? Or can you suggest one that will run the game alot better than my 128m 4400 card?
I can get a nVidia GeForce 7600gs 512m will that work?
Thx Spitfire

hi
spitfire
any nvidia u want
if u can get it with sep .dll's/tool's thats even better
if not it is not lost
as i explained i am now a dev-sw-eng for nvidia
so they are starting to give me the nessary info i need
just rem u CANNOT use a pci>ei< card as your port is pcie
to be sure just look at where the knotch is
this is lagecy
on a side note
i wanted to ditch the rescue disk,welp that is going to happen to the extent that most of it will stay,along with a few new addition's
also disk 1/disk to are just about coded into
gobal was a byte pissie when i told them i turned off the NON turnnie call >canada<
which mean's u can now do it,they were also a tad ticky when i explained that u no longer need the dongle >ie pga1/2/3 will now run on the same platform
trying to move it over to ntf's fully and ditching the pqmagic,window's did a better job of resizing there.
so to cap
the next set of test's are a window's ntf's running xp-sp3,and mounting disk 1 and 2
and seeing if i can ditch rescue,or if i need it ? what do i need to add ?
this will open it for anybody to use

Hi Ed that's great!! We are all excited down under in oz. my mate just had his team challenge machine delivered so we are all waiting on ur instructions. Thx from all in OZ
-
Ed,
I was pointed to this thread by dirt and I have to say that I am so happy and appreciative that you are taking the time and effort to unlock the full potential of our PGA machines. I have a Team Challenge machine and always thought that it was unfortunate that I would never be able to unlock the additional courses and players because online access no longer exists (I'm in Chicago).
I eagerly await how this turns out and can't wait to get involved in some tournament play with everyone! Again...thank you, thank you, thank you! :applaud:

hi
well i want to thank every one
to date this has been a clean and fine thread
i will enjoy the replies when i send out the s/w
as i explained gobal vr was a tad ticky,to bad so sad
:they: by way of a nda gave me right's,so what is going on is a natural
elvulotion of there s/w,after all the post's and replies i am more
then happey to do it,bare with me
follow the .txt in the up-comming file's to the "t" and u will be good to go
reason for the delay's is it take's time to tear a proggie down and rebuild it

Hi Ed, I have installed an nVidia 7600gt 512mb graphics card but it won't let me install the drivers? Whether in safe mode or not. Keeps saying installer failed. Please help?
Thx Spitfire

hi
spitfire that is because it is either trying to load x84 or 7 drivers
let me find them for xp on the nvidia site
ed

hi
spitfire
it is what i thought
Version: 178.24 WHQL
Release Date: 2008.10.15
Operating System: Windows XP 64-bit, Windows Server 2003 64-bit
Language: English (U.S.)
File Size: 93.6 MB
it is x64 windows xp-7
we run 32bit windows
i can try to tear the installer down or regroup the file's to better handle 64bit
your best bet right now is to set it aside and just get a old video card
until i am done
as this is a rather tall order,and i will need to confire with a few coder's

On my particular machine their are two things that drive me nuts. The first is the extremely loud sound that the fan in the computer makes while the machine is powered on. The second is the loading times and occasional "skipping" (where the game jumps and doesn't run smoothly during shots). I'm thinking if I increased the RAM it may take care of the skipping/lag and loading issues but then I'm still going to have the extremely loud fan.
What I'm hoping I can do is take out the essential guts to run the game and place it in a quieter more powerful computer. I'm thinking I will do this all at once once Ed has completed his software package of extras. Anyone have any luck taking the hard drive out of the original computer and placing it in another to better run PGA?
-
hi
dozens of time's
just steer away from 64bit until my pkg's are complete
the lag is ram,so replace old and add a few new 1's,the fan is shot
time for a few new 1's
cvn53 i have your 32bit beta driver's
spitfire i am working on your's now
and always rem the more fan's the better
1=on video card
3=on putter
ed
-
Thanks, Ed. What would you say are the essentials that should come out of the original computer and placed in the new computer for the easiest transition? Just trying to avoid as much trouble shooting as possible and I can't think of anyone better to ask the question to than you. Thanks so much!
-
Hi Ed, no prob mate I will stick to running the original 128m card for now. Just thought u said any nVidia would do? So not in any real rush to get this new card workin. Would much rather u pool ur efforts to getting the tournaments going n unlocking the SW to allow all players n items.
Thx heaps,

hi
i use any mobo that has a decent ammount of ram room
plus
2 usb's
1 t10
1 mouse >ps2<
1 key board >ps2<
no on board video
i try to use 2.7 gig processer
or better >within pga room<
tend to copy gobal vr pga over to larger harddrive's ie 80 gig or better
gives me room to put full xp on it sp3 of course
do not really care about higher video card's,:but that is comming around now: :):)
i do like to stay away from legacey modo's,and use newer 1's
500 watt or better power supply
olny card u have to move over is the i/o interface for the control panel
dirt/spitfire/cvn53
can u ppl up your hard drive's ?
ie to about 80 gig ?
if so u have it made in the shade by flint
and i will not have to chop as much out
it turns out pq magic will olny resize to a max of 10 gig
which leave's a ton of hardware resource to play with
80 gig hard drive's i get given to me
so it should not be to hard for u folk's?
but please chime in

Hi Ed is it just a matter of cloning the hard drive? Is so what was the SW u used to do this?

any old harddrive will work. there is no specific requirement other than being PATA.
we have 2 machines (neither of which work currently) but they both have had the drives replaced with no issues regarding that.
if you don't have install disks perhaps ed can clarify the legality of ripping the cd to an ISO and uploading them someplace.
-
hi
lilshawn
thk-u for ringing in
yes any old harddrive will do 10 meg or better to run pga golf
problem i am having is the window's driver set etc is very small
with a larger drive i can open it all the way
with head room to spare
as these are old legacey unit's and not used as commerical
we can do this,plus it will make my life easy :)
and to answer your q
u can rip it to disk/iso/copy whichever make's u feel good
i personally use easeus tool backup,but again this all boil's down to what
u are good with,lord u can do a 1-1 if i want..
but my point is want to enact alot of thing's here i need more window's sp-pk's with
just like mame became bigger..it's alot along them line's

Hi ed,
My puter is doing the same thing again. Just like the picture I posted. I went into the BIOS and when I checked the standard BIOS it doesn't have anything as ide master or slave. It does have cd-rom as secondary master. It like it does not see my hard drive. What can I do beside pour some gasoline and light a match. Jk

is this a new drive or the original?
if it's the original it's likely packing it in.
if it's a new drive double check your master/slave configuration on the drive. check your cable too. pull the cable out and look at a light through it. Does it have a small hole in it? It could be a "cable select" cable. The drive would have to be set accordingly.
(http://www.unixwiz.net/images/ide-cable-select-easy.gif)
Your motherboard might be packing it in too if the new HD is randomly dropping out.
if that's the case you can try configuring the HD as master and the CD rom as slave and sharing the secondary channel. The computer will still boot, you might need to set something in the bios to tell the computer you still want to boot off an HD in this configuration...some you don't. You may still get some use out of it.
but usually if the board is crapping out on you there isn't much you can do because it will eventually get worse. Besides swapping out the board and doing the aforementioned xpsp3 install and mods to get it working...you'd have to try and source the same board to replace it which would be next to impossible.
-
hi shawn,
it is the same harddrive that has been in the machine since i got it. i am not too computer literate. i would have no idea how to set up a new harddrive. if the harddrive is failing and the motherboard is next can i use another computer and load the pga? i have 2 spare towers but i would need to take one to somebody and have them wipe it clean and reinstall windows. another problem is i dont have the pga recovery disks. i was hoping ed would be able to load all the updateded work he has done on to a cd so even a dumbass like me can update my machine.

Hi Guys

Yes I would like instructions on what's needed to be done with new 80gig hard drive also?
Thx Joe
-
Hi Dirt
not sure if you have tried swamping ide cables,I have seen them go bad.have you tried slaving your hard drive in another machine to see if it works, if it does its likely the motherboard has problems.can you see your hard drive in the bios?just read your post earlier you can't see the hard drive so its either motherboard or bad drive if you slave the drive in another machine and you can see it load then its motherboard or possibly bad ide cable hope this helps.

hi
sorry guy's u have not lost me
i have just been on the road all week..:(:(
suck's to be me :(
but i am around all week
dirt do as the post from lilshawn
state's,your mobo may be packing it in
rem if it was never cleaned it out and redid the silcon lube on the processer
the risk is real high the mobo is fubar..real test is to wack a loaded xp drive on it
c what it dose's....also i have ran them in master/slave
ie hd master/cd/slave and or reverse,have a key board for the former plugged in
as the bios will ---smurfette---
as to the loading of sp3
i am just getting around to setting up a ftp for u ppl
so u can get what u want need
most if not all the file's are done
i am just now chking my work
as i said i was on the road all week

Hi Ed, Glad to see u r still with us n things are slowly moving forward. Awaiting ur next instructions.

Oh man...so I got a little adventurous and decided to pull the computer out of my PGA Golf Team Championship to see about upgrading the ram so that the game ran smoothly. I also wanted to see what I was in store from if I were to starting pulling components out of that machine to place in another.
Now I'm not sure how many of you have actually opened up your computer to peak inside but mine was an unpleasant surprise. All the wiring is so compacted on the back end of the wall that I simply cannot get to the ram. It seems as if I can't remove the hard drive without removing 5 other things. It's like trying to change the battery in a car that has just about everything else in front of it!
With that being said I am anticipating Ed's final work here as I would love to pick up a couple cheap towers that PGA will support without having to pull mother boards, hard drives, graphic cards, etc. from my existing computer.
I bought a gutted cabinet (still has the control panel) for $50 so I'm going to chop off the top and make it a pedestal cabinet. I have an extra 40" LCD that I will use for the screen. So my hope is to have a new computer running my Team Challenge in my modified pedestal cabinet. At that point I can give my existing cabinet with original computer to my brother and hopefully play him online before Christmas!

hi
stpcore
dirt has ran into the same problem
they are not so hard to tear down,take your time
u have a modem,usb-4-port interface board,and a 37 pin i/o board to the control panel,button's
the usb cable on the back >white< goe's from the i/o board to the usb port
the 4-port unit is used for the the player's/operater's card-reader on the face
also the bill stacker >dbm<,the rest of it is perty much a straight foward putter
the olny thing u CANNOT change until i up-load the ftp addy is the VIDEO CARD u can change the mobo/hard-drive,and ditch the phome modem
as we do not use it >we use on-board-lan-now<
hint's here
change fan's,clean under processer-relube..it will want it
if the video card dose not have a fan,? by god stick 1 on it
the ram can go up to what the bios will support
2 gig i do rem
dirt for now if u have a spare putter
slap in the hard drive and video card and i/o board
that will keep u going,i did read your pm
to all
as it turn's out i will need to be the gate keeper
ie >>server<<
i tried to avoid this,but cant
also i have a side note
there is some mod's that will un-load your internal power-supply
of the putter..this is good as tower will run cold <<i like cold>>
stpcore
congrad's on the idea
look at the new its gamming golden tee live
u can get all the info there
use the base design
and remove the cab from the putter
i can show u pix's later in the week
cvn53 your plug is on it's way
ed
-
So I can put that hard drive in another tower? Do I pull the existing HD out first or make the pga HD a slave? I always thought you had to have a HD that was with the 'right" mother board. Ie they are linked somehow.

hi
dirt
as i explained
the hercules module does not chk the mobo
olny the video card
hence the reason for this full thread
olny gobal vr chk's for the i/o board
then a sub proggie in hercules look's for the donggle >window's-mode-winxpe<
which is easy to wipe out so we can toss the darn thing...>it is a pain in the butt<
there is a wack of cab rework i did for these that takes the power away fron 90% of the putter,they run cold
i will post the 37 pin out if u want it?
i know cvn53 dose
so it's a no brainer
all u are doing is using the aux p's that is used for the stacker/coin-door-light's
u tie in the 5 volt's for the track ball to it
and call the intenal plug to the i/o board night night <<+5/+12v>>
guess what
heat is gone
rel factor goe's through the roof
yes as i said i have used any good mobo
it's the video card,that is the snag
nvidia has come to the table and has given me the nessary info
so we can play :):)
all dll's are in it
i am trying to get them to the table so i can give there ftp addy
i will c

Hi Ed
Do you have the software for xp sp3 or are we using gobal vr software?I am little confused you started talking about bigger HDD and xp sp3 is that what were doing?
CVN53
-
with a bigger HD you can unlock and load all the additional content easily. Installing XP SP3 is getting around the limited functionality of the striped down XP that the game originally shipped with.
basically you load a drive with XP sp3 then install the PGA game.
originally you installed the "OS" (XPe) then when the OS booted a program requested the "data" disks AKA the PGA game itself.
Ed is modifying the program so that:
1: you can use any hardware
2: replace the videocard with a more reliable nvidia one
3: modify the game and set up a server on his end so you can play online again.
4:unlock and load all the additional player/items etc.
5: remove the need for a security dongle
he is currently working on #2 and #3. almost everything else is done.

Hi lilshawn
Thanks for clearing up my confusion,loading up xp sp3 on 120 gig hd,no need to do updates or anti virus,if your not going to be on line correct.

and or up-load/down-load what u want need >file's/up-date's/etc
just do not abuse it......
most of u will be mod's
i will be the over all admin
mod's have the acess they will need to the bot..up-load/down-load/play real time

This sounds good. So at this point are we waiting for one big download with step by step instructions or did I miss a step somewhere? I would like to start unlocking content if possible and get PGA running in another tower versus the original computer it came in once that's ready.
I guess I don't understand where I'm supposed to start? Any help would be appreciated!

hi
gobal-vr-pga
A small readme of what u can and cannot do at this time
first let me explain that i tend to talk in tech term's
forgetting alot of ppl are not trained in electronic's to my skill level
so forgive me there
1 u can replace the old motherboard <<<see note
2 u can add ram to the old 1
3 u can increase the hard drive size
4 u can swap the hard drive to a sata if u want
5 u can through out the dial up modem,if your's is equiped
6 u can up-grade the powersupply if u so want
7 u can start it with a keyboard and mouse
8 u can get it to go to window's and tie into the internet,using the internal lan
what u CAN NOT DO
1 replace the video card
2 replace the motherboard with a pcie slot,it must match your video card
4 use the machine without it's donggle
5 use the machine without it's i/o card
what i have been coding into
1 to open all windowsxp to sp3,so u can use a newer pcie type video card
2 kill the donggle,i hate it
3 set up the full turnnie feature
*note* there is a loading part of the program called
hercules,it chk's for a nvidia older style video card
and it must be there,because u cannot load all the nessary dll's/oxc's
without having a handle on code
i truly hope this clear's up and confusin caused

Hi Ed,
That is as clear as it comes mate thx for that. As usual will be waiting eagerly to get the tournament up

Once again thx for all ur hard work Ed just ask if we can help in OZ in anyway.
Thx Spitfire
-
Thanks for the update. Here is what I'm wondering at this point (my questions/comments are in BOLD)
1 u can replace the old motherboard <<<see note (is there a specific recommendation or model for an easy swap out of the mobo?)
2 u can add ram to the old 1 (am I simply replacing the 512mb with a 1gb or do I add another 512mb to an open slot?)
3 u can increase the hard drive size (once the HD is replaced am I just running the install disks for PGA and swapping it out with the old drive?)
4 u can swap the hard drive to a sata if u want
5 u can through out the dial up modem,if your's is equiped
6 u can up-grade the powersupply if u so want (would there be any huge advantage to upgrading the power supply?)
7 u can start it with a keyboard and mouse (what scenario would cause me to want to start it with a keyboard and mouse?)
8 u can get it to go to window's and tie into the internet,using the internal lan (how do I do this and what are the steps for getting online for tourney action?)
what u CAN NOT DO
1 replace the video card (so if my video card goes I have to find an exact duplicate card in order to play?)
2 replace the motherboard with a pcie slot,it must match your video card (I must find a duplicate mother board as well?)
4 use the machine without it's donggle (thank you for looking for a work around for the dongle...I hate it as well)
5 use the machine without it's i/o card (not sure what this is. Is it the control panel interface?)
what i have been coding into
1 to open all windowsxp to sp3,so u can use a newer pcie type video card (awesome!)
2 kill the donggle,i hate it (good times!)
3 set up the full turnnie feature (this is HUGE!!!!)
My final question is unlocking courses, players, and player attributes. Is this something that I can currently do? I've read every page on here and it seems like some of this is already possible but I'm not quite clear on how to actually make the proper changes to unlock items. I'm fairly familiar with computers but when it comes to coding and changing bios I'm a rookie. I appreciate everyone's input and help here (especially ED!!!!) but I think I need an "Idiots Guide to Unlocking Your PGA" lol! I'm so excited about everything I am reading but I'm also a little disappointed and intimidated because I'm not quite sure how to do any of this yet. Once I get this down I will make it a point to know it like the back of my hand so I can contribute to this thread by helping others that will be in my shoes at some point.
Thanks in advance!!!

hi
a fast update
the bot is ready
it's name is pga
it will carry all file's everyone need's
even a special treat for the video card ppl
there is a file i have not loaded to it yet
that allows u to un-lock all of the pga-vr with the player's or operater's card...
dirt's problem solved
my time is the tie up
i have been and will be on the road all weekend and up to tuesday
i will try to finish the irc up then
it look's like we will be going into :irc-ice-network:
channel is the thread's name sake ie gobalvr
every person must be invited in by the bot
so i will need to know your irc nick before hand
or u will need to private chat me in the irc
there is no real reason to up-date here at this point
as i pointed out the file's are to large for beening posted here
i can give u a better run down ltr

Thanks CVN53

Can someone let me know if I can replace my 512mb ram with a 1g or do I need to plug in another 512 in the second slot. The guts of my computer are so packed in that I would have to take it all apart it seems to access that second slot so I'm hoping I can just unplug the 512 and replace with a 1gb. If anyone has a suggestion of a great buy for memory that compatible that would be greatly appreciated as well!
I would like to get involved with this chat hosted by Ed when it starts. I have a bunch of questions that I know he can answer for me but I thought I would get this one out of the way first so I can play without long load times and choppiness during play.
Thanks!

Sounds good, Ed!
So all the the files/programs you've been working on are all set and we are just waiting for you to get your key for mirc in order to file share? Just making sure I understand this correctly.
How large are your files? Are the files something that I could transfer to someone else via Dropbox if I needed to in the future? I'm not familiar with mirc at all...never used it before but Dropbox has been an easy way for me to share files in the past.
Again, thanks for all your efforts!!! :applaud:

hi
ppl i have a snibbet of word's here for ya
if your main fan's have failed..>collged/etc<,then please please
consider a recap kit for the mobo,and also some silcon lube for the mirco
it will do a world of good for u,the cap's can be replaced with a good high quailty
12/16v cap even though they say 6/10,there is olny 2 to watch out for
and they are at the 3.3volt req,try to keep them within there stated range
reason i am posting this is because i have done all my pga's now with the last 1 on my right waiting for it's cap's
if u follow my advice your board will love u
ed
-
it's always advised if you change the caps on a motherboard to up the voltage if you can.
6.3 volt caps can be changed out for 10 volt caps...16volt if they will still fit.
the uf must stay the same (or close to)
you can buy lots of 25 nichicon 1000uf 10 volt caps for $12 with free shipping off ebay

Hi Ed,
All the boys down under are waiting to get this baby running at it full potential and also to play some tournaments with you all. Please direct me to the ace I can get the mirc account n software so I will be ready to go on ur instructions? Thx Spitfire

hi
ok i made my way into what i am leading to
the mirc channel u will join >pga< will be hosted from a new box i am building tonight
i do this for personal reason's,IE to many hoof-ban's etc,which i will NOT allow
unless u are not reged into the bot,this is wide ban
so yes u can game and link,if u are not reged into >pga<>bot< expect a hoof
if u rehook with out regersitng expect a hoof ban..ie i will ban the addy
or rather the bot will
cussing i really do not care for but if u must then so be it
talking another nick down open channel or out right fighting bring's u back to rule a
hoof 20 min's second 20 day's third ban total
as it MY server i need to set these rule's
frendliy playing about golf or what ever i care less about
so if someone make's a hole or u miss it,i know freg'darn etc but u can use explict's
i am building the box tonight
keep your eye on this fourm for the irc
and please pm me or e-me with the nick u want
as i have to per set it
the bot is set with a hot trigger
the box it is in is a p4/2 gig of ram/500gig harddrive
more then enough head room to dl/play live
winxp sp3 with a fire wall so i do not expect trogan's/malware
that part i will work out
as i am booking my self off most of this week
i cannot see the problem with getting-er-done
thk-u all for waiting

Ed, unfortunately you are speaking in a tech language that is far beyond my comprehension. I reread your post a few times and I just am not getting it. Can someone please take a moment to explain what is going on in the simplest of terms. I appreciate your hard work Ed and I don't want to miss out on something because I didn't understand. Maybe I need a decoder ring so I don't slow this thread down! ;)
-
hi
no stpcore
u do not need a decorder ring
this thread started out with me asking for help on gobal vr's pga golf
more specificaly the video card issuie..
i could not get the answer's i need to swap out the video card's,
so i took it up-on my-self to talk to gobal vr and obtain a NDA
to which i can with there perrismion tear down there s/w and fix it
so we can use different video card's
welp as a public fourm will have it
it took off,with me helping alot of ppl getting there pga's back up and running,
ok to that..now we have player card problem's/donggle's/mobo's/internet/powersupply/dial-up modem's/the list is long
so i went to make a rescuse disk to just about fit any need's
never ever did i intened for this thread to run this deep
but as u can see i have been posting >code<,to back up my big mouth
the read me in the now heating up bot explain's the full of everything
u need no decorder ring nor can u be acused of not getting it,it is just a long dam thread..hence the mirc
ed
-
Love your work Ed. Not long now till I'm teaching u all a golfing lesson. Lol
-
hi
fast up-date
the bot did it's 24hr burn in
and is tied on line
later today u should c it here as pga-bot
u cannot ping it yet until i finish setting up mirc
but the nick will be the prof in the pudding
ed
-
Stupid question...I just downloaded and installed mIRC and wanted to know when you (Ed) gets everything online the "channel" we are using will be called "PGA" or will it be ">PGA<" as I'm not certain if that makes a difference. New to mIRC, never used it before and I know how sensitive computer programs can be!
-
It's been a quiet week in here. Anyone hear of any status updates?
-
hi
no i really have not posted anything this week
the reason is simple,let me try to explain
on my pga's there is 3 different coin accepter's
cash-flow-330/sr5'and a goffie 1,
of that the cash-flow >by far bar none< the best,is a 3 channel output job
where the other's are single output..sound's simple enough right ??
convert to the single output job right ?.problem is u need to rewire...
thus time/money..etc.etc. and in the feild this will not work or bold well,or find a fix
welp i i found a fix..so i am testing the fix...
thus why no updtate's
now onto the server...my pga is called ed's_personal_pga << rem that...
channel is called pga
to ping bot it is !files
to obtain file's it is !the name of the file u want
to serv into !ed's_personal_pga u must MUST type that exact line
and u go real time,please try not to tie up my b/w to much :):)
this is all done through the private channel
now rem rule's
a=aboustley no dialup
b=hook to the lan port of your putter .. d/l the driver called >>>lan.pga.ini<<<,it will auto setup your lan,sit back relax..it take's a byte to load
c=t10 or t100 is fine >u are comming into a tierabyte router
d=u can cuss between each other,as i do not monitior that
e=u CANNOT pass porn PERIOD it will not be ALLOWED AND U WILL BE ADDY BANNED
i think these are fair and simple enough to understand
ed

Hi Ed, should we be downloading these files from the PGA machine pc or is it ok to download to another pc such as laptop and then copy the files over to the PGA pc later?
Thx Joe
-
Hi Ed
First off Thank you for all your work.I am confused I have a machine thai is owned by a customer who wants his tower back and is getting very inpatient with me on not getting it done,so bottom line is I am confused on what the server is for, playing on lan or getting files.Are you creating new iso disc of the game so every thing is unlocked so we can change video cards,play with no dongle,unlock courses and players.It seems you change direction so much I am not sure whats going on.
CVN53
-
I am also confused as to what is happening at this point. I know once I get a better understanding this will all start making sense to me. Thanks for everything Ed!
-
hi
i do not understand the problem here
how is it confusing ?
i set out server rule's
set out bot rule's
cvn53 i shipped the plug u wanted
u on the other hand do not require it to do the work on the pga,as it olny is used for control input stuff >roller-ball/left-hook/right-hook/coin-in/fly-over/etc,<
these can be done by shuting the nessary control line to ground
hence testing,for normal play it would be handy...but as i do run test's
i have done just that >shunted to ground<
now if u are getting donggle error's,player card error's,that a full new set of thing's
as i pointed out to dirt u can just run a new.ini file
ie >control< which in fact tell's the game it dose not need the player's card to run
and or the donggle to open up
i cannot make that any clearer,as i have been explaining the file's are to big to up-load here,hence the reason for a mirc,+the fact u can play real time...neat little ad on
eh ?,the main reason for irc is this thread is getting to cloudly to beable to follow
god know's i have a hard enough time following it,cvn53 if u need the pinout's
ask
ed
-
I've never used mirc. I created an account there so what do I do next? That's the issue I am having.
-
hi
it is is it's own server
ie if u hook up..u get a list,or u can creat a list of your own,so if u do not want to go
to let's say irc\fxchat.net << server u clear it out of the list
and add in >>gobalpga.net or .org where ever it land's,i will post open channel the addy,just REM it is PRIVATE AND PASSWORD PORTECED....these are the real thing's u need to know,if i find nessary i will KEY IT,which means u will need to know the server/channel/password/key to enter
from there u, as i explained very clearly are in ,
to obtain file's u first :ping the bot: >>!<< so >>!list<< then u type >>!filename<<
this will give u the files's u tpyed in,so let's say >>!resuce disk 4.1<that is exactley what u will get..they are served real time
TO play on line real time
again !ed's_personal_pga places right into my personal pga,all u are doing is
is TELLING the file server >bot< where u a going,as i do not have a crystal ball..
the bot olny oversee's for me >>server<<,u are routed to the nessary stuff
now all of this is done through the bottom bar..u c it in mirc as a small bar across the bottom of the main window >like windows< in ie6.,it is blank to all other user's expect
pga bot >me<
in the irc option's..setup i allow cussing
but no porn that is set to option explict on..:flase: and the rule is hoof-kick-ban-addy-ban,
u can chat the bot
by typing !pga_chat,again it will give u a list of q's and answer's
so let's say u have a donggle problem..u would type
in the open channel..!pga_chat_donggle..from there u will get a list
of answer's to the most common problem,if u cannot find the answer then ask real time,i will c it and respond..
TO the time limt on irc it is olny a nag
if u do not feel the that u donot want to spend $20.00 then by all mean's do not
i did because i love mirc,it by far is 1 of the best file server's i ever came across
if u have then fine so be it,i care less
TO be very clear this thread was started by me
to find help swapping video card's in the pga's,i had no idea it would go this far
but is but and growing pain's are just that,ever had a baby.?.. i just think i am
TO date i have fully recoded gobal_pga >reged trademark <
there is alot of thing's u no longer need to test and or run your unit
u can swap all u want now
I do not think of any rule with them that u really need to follow anymore??
as i have coded around 99% of the common stuff i have come across
WHAT u need to do is ask the !bot,if the answer is not there
then :ask in pga:, i will get back to u

Hi Ed

I don't want to turn this into an mirc tutorial thread but when I launch mirc and do this
1- select "FILE"
2- select "SELECT SERVER"
3- select "ADD"
4- in the "Description" field I enter "PGA"
5- in the "Server" field I entered "gobalpga.net" & "gobalpga.org" and received a message on both attempts stating "unable to resolve server" (I figured this was a spelling error in your post so I then attempted "globalpga.net" & "globalpga.org" (the letter "L" was missing in the first two) and received the same message on both attempts "unable to resolve server". I then entered "ed's_personal_pga" in the server field as I saw that mentioned in an earlier post and received the same "unable to resolve server" message.
I notice there is a couple fields that are blank such as "password". I notice that you said that the server is password protected but I don't remember getting a password. I'm thinking I'm just being an idiot and missing something or not fully understanding how I'm supposed to connect to the server and I'm posting this here in the event someone else is in my shoes and another member can help us out. I don't want to throw this thread off topic so if this is not the place for this post I do apologize.
I can't wait to get these files...I just can't quite get there! :banghead:

ed
-
OK, so this will not come to a surprise to anyone I'm sure but I have no idea what this updated info means. So no mIRC at this point? I don't think I'm going to follow this for a while because every time I try to play catch up it seems that something else changes. I appreciate the work, Ed, I really really do. I will check back with this thread in the future when you guys have everything rolling. Can't wait to golf with you all!

hi
anyone can bail anytime they want
to remove irc
go to system and find mircwin32.ini
here is where i am landing
To continue the registration process go to https://cservice.undernet.org/live/confirm.php?cookie=f00aae47080402148a6d1ebf7963b10c
please note the service
if anyone want's to take on the task
by all means have at it
my personal pga >chip card< came in form roger's
so i need to stick it in also
that is a !!different ip also!!
so u will if u want to go on-line real time stick in that isp also
in short pga_bot carry's all the large file's u need
this is the mirc
the stick allow's for real time traffic
i will not baby sit u through it
it is in the readm-me's
if u can do better,again have at it
it comes normal 2gig b/w..ie 2 way traffic
so i am trying to raise it to 5gig
this will be the test phase of it..ie on-line real time for my aussie ppl
dirt your box did not show up yet ?
cvn53 the other line's u need i will add ltr today
as it is 1:am my time,but i did not forget
u olny need 2 more,as the dba uses the same single line from the coin accepter
read that line please
and the card desipessener we do not use at all
but if u want i will pin them for u ?
the coin accepter is a blue line
the other's i will pin
if your box is working right
it will stall on card reader,and ask u to hit start,once u have done that it should go to course's screen <display>,the start switch is your !!key!!
even if u do not hit that button
the thing after about 30 sec's should go to game mode
all default's of course
service is a simple wire to ground it is a >white wire<
it will put u into the service mode
u will see the screen >loading< please wait
from there,track-ball and >start< are your buddy's
to turn thing's on and off,u need to edit hercules
ie turn cmd's on or off in real time
before the program can even load
u would do this to add thing's:.dll's/.ocx's:-remove a call/add a call,
now please rember this..as i am tired of repeating it
U CANNOT DO IT WITH THE GAME RUNNING..U MUST DO IT,WITH IT AS A SLAVE
AND USING A EDITOR....notepad should do it fine
remove the OFFENDER CMD..save as the new .ini/.what-ever it is..the extensison
ie .ini/.cmd/.bat what ever..u are olny pointing hercule's to where u want it to find it's driver's,and what to look at and where not to look
in short all u are doing is driving the car..simple
as i explained last night
there must be a total of 10 nick's
no double's for me to get this trick to happen
my bot DOSE NOT COUNT
so i am 1
so 9 more
i think that is clear enough
yes it is mirc linked

hi
stpcore
no u do not
i have it in the bot
today i recieved my password for the server
so i will invoke all in short order
now rem i said recieved..this mean's i passed the step's
and it was a climb
next step to get to know the admin's
this is the edititcet,u must follow when u want a private server with full bandwith
ie no irc cop can kick u,no irc cop will even look in >they are not allowed<
it is on it's own..not your regular mirc,but linked
did for a few simple reason's
1=we will play real time
2=file size
3=the fact we will be decussing gobalvr,it's gaming and a few other's
which will happen real time
if u know mirc rule's u will see i just walked aroud alot of them
thus the wait..sorry if that pissed anyone of..but i am 1 guy with my hand's full
dirt if u hook in i recieved it today
i know u are busy,will punch it through tommrow

yes, you need to pretty much put as many fans as you can on this rig, the damn things will overheat like that *snaps fingers*

hi ed,
I thought you told me not to send the HD. Sorry I misunderstood. I can send it to you but if you can just reload to another HD that would be quicker. Canadian or USA version, I don't care as long as it works in my machine. I trust your judgment. Whatever you need to do to it to get it working and upgraded to all access is fine with me. And again, thank you so much for all your help.

Hello Ed.
Hope all is going well with you. I thought I would check in to see if you have made any additional progress regarding PGA?
Had to replace a power supply on my cab today. Upgraded to 520 watts and it's running like a champ. It was a mess getting to the power adapter. So many wires that were tied off and I couldn't get to some of the connections without some removal of internal parts. It felt like having to remove the engine of a car to replace the battery. I'm happy it's done and looking forward to doing some software modifications now.

In the mean time, if you really need a graphics card replacement you can find them on eBay. I just picked up a spare used/working GeForce4 Ti 4200 on eBay for $15. Not a bad alternative if you want a quick fix.
Dirt, how is your machine running since Ed fixed it and installed his software?

Thanks again, Ed, for all of your generous donation of time and effort on this. All of us here in this thread are depending on you to take us to the next level! I can't wait to compete with you all with our PGA cabs! It's been a long time coming!

yeah they look awesome on an lcd. i wish i could find a 4x3 27" lcd for my machine. i had my computer hooked up to my 19" lcd when i was trying to fix it, what a difference.
does my computer have all the upgrades now? or did you just fix the problems with it? either way is ok with me just wondering.

hi
dirt
the harddrive is :fourced to tie right into my server:
i will e-u the exact way to re-invoke the cmd...it is easy
it will ship with the cmd turned off for now
the .ins-txt for u is easy,no d/l needed
all u need is a key board and 10 sec's of your time
plan on leaving the mouse and key board tied in
ps2 style please,as that is what i coded into
take a note of the bois please as i have it set..the way the server will expect it
it was a very hard dession to move it this way
but our aussie buddy's,which are 14hr's behind or in-front of me
needed thing's..

Hi Ed,
Thanks for that mate as its not much of a comp if us Aussies aren't a part of it. Eagerly awaiting to be able to download all that's needed to unlock everything and play online.

Hi Ed. If you are referring to the post I left in the WANTED section for PGA computer parts it's because I'm trying to put together a working machine as a gift for my brother before his birthday next month and I certainly don't want to place any pressure on you regarding this project. I have the empty cab and control panel and most of the wiring...now I need the rest.
I know you are busy and I also have a personal deadline regarding my second PGA machine. If you have any spare parts that you would be willing to sell in the mean time let me know because I would be interested in purchasing them.
Keep doing what you are doing and PM me if you have some spare parts in the mean time!

hi
on my ipac thought
it will tie right in
look's like i can hit this 1 out of the ball park
i olny have 1 pga left

Just stumbled across this thread as I am finally beginning to fix a non-working PGA Tour cab I bought a couple of years ago.
My biggest concern with this is the reliability and availability of replacement hardware, specifically the custom Nytric USB I/O card.
Ed, your work here is amazing and I would be ecstatic if you were able to modify the software to allow the Ultimarc ipac to handle all inputs such as the trackball, buttons, and coin mechs, that are currently interfaced via the USB I/O card.
Looking forward to seeing how this thread evolves.
Cheers,
Scott.

Hey guys...I can't find my recovery and install cds for "Team Challenge" and I was wondering if anyone would be able to help me out? If I remember correctly it was one recovery and three installs when I did my upgrade this summer. Does anyone have the time to upload to Dropbox or I would certainly pay for your time, some blank cds, and shipping if you could send me a copy. I had these at one point and I'm thinking they were accidentally thrown away recently. Please send me a PM if you don't mind helping.
Ed, hope you are feeling better over there. My kids are constantly bringing germs into the house now that school is up and running again so I can certainly feel your pain.

hi

Hi Ed. Thanks for the help. Do you have a file sharing link you can send me for Dropbox? My Dropbox account is associated with my email. If you prefer to PM me that would be fine. I don't have access to my dongle at the moment as I'm not home but I think I had version 4.0.0 or something similar.

hi
i read where u were asking for 3.3
have all the rescue disk's,so if u need another build
please post me it.the 1 i up-loaded is 4

Ed- I created a folder called PGA Golf Global VR in my Dropbox and invited you to share the folder with me. I sent an invite to your email. I also enabled others to share within the folder so if anyone would like to have an invite sent to it please let me know and I can send you an invite. This is for PGA info ONLY.

hi
stpcore
thk-u
i thought i had it set up where u can tie straight into the file's ?
will be eating shortley
then we can debug it
i just shut the active link off,will open it back up
and have it route to the pga bot
forgive me as i am new to dropbox!
so i my need to cut some teeth here,
every file is sitting in pga
rember every single master must be labled as such when u burn them to cd
ie pga 1,pga2,pga3
rescue etc
as hercules look's for the name
ed
-
Ed- With Dropbox, once you have created a folder within your account you can right-click the folder to (A) share with another dropbox user by entering their email address or (B) you can simply send a link for another user that does not have an account to have access for downloads. If sharing folders with other users (option A) you can then allow others to contribute or modify the folder if you choose. It is an extremely easy and streamlined way to file share. I'm happy you decided to give it a try!

Thanks Ed. I believe I have them all now. Thank you!!!
When I'm ready to use these do I have to create iso for each or is there a way to run it separately? Not sure how to use these files at this point so any direction would be great. How are you liking Dropbox by the way?

hi
i added u twice -2-x- and placed sharing on
have no idea what is going on or why ????
i am thinking brain-fart my end :)
but as long as u have them great
make them bootable...

hi

i never had inteded to use dropbox
it was done as a favor for stpcore
as the op is working on a machine that they want to give away as a gift
there is a private server setup for the extra's
what i uploaded was rescuse and disk1
as i posted before u must reg with mirc
and then e-mail your nick
and i will add u to the list,as it sit's in my pga-bot-external drive
all is set to look at it,this was done so our aussie bud's and u if u follow the .ins can play real time online,if u need anything that i have loaded up to dropbox >normal-stuff<,i will grant u access,but my code is sitting in pga,where it stay's until i give u access to pga
this is by no means rude
but it is what it is

Hi Ed, it seems you have been very busy and a lot of movement has happened since I was last on. Not sure if we are set to start downloading all that is needed to unlock all the goodies n play online. Please let me know if we are and some instructions if so? Thanks heaps Spitfire
Ps can't wait to play all u online
-
Ed...we don't have any hiccups with Dropbox. You have it set up correctly and I was able to grab everything. Thanks for your help on that one. If you prefer I can offer to link other members to my Dropbox PGA folders so you don't have to take the time to manage the sharing. It's the least that I can do and I hope it will clear up some time for you.
Anyone can send me a PM with your email address associated with your Dropbox account and I can open the folders to you by sending you a sharing invitation. If you have not registered for a Dropbox account yet you can send me a PM with your email address and I can send you an invitation to start a Dropbox account. I think we both get additional storage when done this way. With that being said, you can certainly open an account on your own. My motive is not to get referral credit with Dropbox. I'm just trying to help others as I have received a lot of help in this forum myself!
PS...let me know when the mirc is set up and thanks again, Ed.

hi
stpcore and thk-u very much
i did think i had it set right,but there must be a hick-up i do not get ??
in the interm i will certinaly allow u to share my pass so ppl can get what they request,as long as they do not abuse it ,i have no reason to deny it
the mirc is comming fine,roger's has assigned the static ip :finnaly:
and let me tell u, u want to deal with idiot's try them on for speed!!!!
they shut my stick down ,so i spent an hour on the line with them again
that is just 1 example of stupied...
i am just waiting for x.net to asagin me the channel right's
and we are set
if there are request's for s/w expect what i coded by all means ask i will make sure it is up-loaded

hi
stpcore
i have been meaning to ask u was what u got enough for the gift ?
or do u require more ?
ring the bell if u need me
ed
-
Sounds good, Ed. Now that you shared the files with me I will open up sharing on my end so that nobody has access to your account and your password is protected. I (as well as you) can share any specific file folder without giving out our personal Dropbox passwords.
To do this you must sign in to dropbox.com online (not from your desktop icon) and right click the folder you would like to share. This will allow you to then add the email address(s) of other users that can then access the file folders that you specifically chose to share. Your personal folders cannot be accessed unless you right click and choose to share them with another email address. But don't worry about it...I will open up my folders to anyone that needs the info so you aren't having to be concerned about it.
Keep up the good work on your end. Everything you provided me was exactly what I was looking for.
-
hi
stpcore thk-u ever so much for your help
i recieved your e-me
will get to it tonight
i think i did set sharing.? but i will go over the setting's
also i have 3.3/3.4 so if we can another op on-board
all can get what they need
this will take the preasure off of pga bot and clear the road for our aussie bud's
i will place dropbox into the bot this evening,as this is my programming box i have a wait a-minuite look see thing going,the other is the server front end,and has nothing to do with this box unless i enable it
so i tend to stand down on it.:):)
i will turn the enable off this evening.and allow dropbox sharing out of the :bot-box:
then if i run into a snag ? i hope u will not mind? if i ring u up for some input ?

No problem, Ed. I'm happy to help!

Great job, Ed! I'm happy that I can contribute finally as everyone has offered great assistance for me here. If anyone would like an invitation to the Dropbox folder please PM me your email address and I will send it over. I check emails rather frequently so I would imagine you would have the invite within 3 hours if not immediately.
If someone has the time to put together a small tutorial on how to take these files and get these to bootable CDs and installed properly I think that will help out some members here as well!

hi
dirt not long now
x.net gave me my go ahead last night
stpcore
as long as they stay in the respective disk mode
ie
1=rescuce
2=disk-1
3=disk-2
4=disk-3
just upload them in that format
and when u d/l to there seperate folder's
ie
rescue
disk-1
disk-2
disk-3
u can then make a bootable cd of EACH of them
as that is what hercules expect's
and will ---smurfette--- a storm if u try to code around it..have tie shirt trying,plus tire mark's from herc is a jerk at time's,the stuff on pga bot
herc never biatched about,but i had to leave it that format
hence the long time in the release,if u look on disk 3 u will shake your head and go who in god's name coded this cluster fxxx ??
plus this is the exact reason i wanted to keep my file's in a private server
with mirc backup >real-time<
because less exp.coder's will get themself's in real do do if they do not follow the rule's,just to turn on the internal t10 was a nightmare,to tell it to no longer look for a dial up was easy,but to tell herc it is now looking for a t10 and or an on-board lan
took no less then 20-odd window's driver's to be placed in and :linked: to hercule's
then to for me. to turn turney back on
ment a complete new key-re-write
with all the :kill: cmd's re-written
the video card problem was a nightmare also
just look at the first few page's of this thread
i guess what i am saying is dropbox is a god send for ppl
if they mess there pga up
at least they can get a fresh back-up
that has not been re-coded in and way

Hi all,
Great work from everyone and can't wait for the action to begin. So let me get this straight the drop box has only the original rescue disks on it in case of a Fxcx up and all the other files needed to unlock everything and play online will be available in the near future via eds server?
If so ill send my pm as I don't have any rescue disks and would hate to lose such a great game. Also should get around to cloning my HD would that be another good safeguard Ed? In preparation for the upcoming mods?
Please advise?
Thx Aussie boys lol

hi
spitfire
u nailed it to the t
yes go get the file's on dropbox
they are there for ppl whom do not have the oringal s/w
my bot carry's the modded stuff
but it is better to errer in the side of favour..ie go get the dropbox file's
if 1 is missing by all means ring my bell i will make sure it is uploaded
these other 2 op's have done a steller job
ed

hi
btw i have should added this timbit earlier
!!!!!DO NOT BURN THEM AS :ISO:!!!!,
make each 1 bootable
hercules will look for this and biatch at u if it is not in the exact format it want's
in short u should end up with 4 disk's
1=rescue
2=disk-1
3=disk-2
4=disk-3
ed

Ed- I don't want to distract you but I was wondering if you were able to successfully get the ipac to work with the control panel? The reason I'm asking is because I have been buying up the i/o cards and cables in order to build another machine and have a spare card and cable in the event something goes wrong in the future. I don't want to continue doing this if you think they will be obsolete and we can use the ipac now or in the near future.
Hope all is going well up there in Canada. Starting to get cold here in Chicago unfortunately.
-
hi
stpcore
yes i did and yes it will code right in
sorry to hear it is getting cold down there
as a side note if u have spare's no fear's as i will buy them from u
finally had time today to work on pga bot !!finally!!,as this box was in deeeeep scan
15.35 hr's worth,i finished up more on pga,look's colser then ever now
as we are putting the reg file's for pga on dropbox,i pulled them from the pga call list
now back to your question,i have to hard code the nessary call's into hercules
and :expand: the system32/system file's,olny thing i can c at the moment that will be a bit wackey,is the control panel layout,as i am not yet that veresed in ipac
but i will get it,now
i want everyone involved in this to understand
get yourself another SPARE harddrive,for the simple reason when u start to use the new install disk it will want the other 3 new 1's
or it will not work,u CANNOT mix and match willy nilly
so in short my advice is to drop the few buck's they cost.
Is grab 1 and place the new complete file's on it
rescuse-1-2-3
play pga
for the ipac i will make it a patch file
so u can run it in on the new 1's once u are going and i have time to debug
ed
-
hi
a tad more of an answer
yes it will go
but here's the rub
we will need min deriect-x-8
i am leaning toward's 9.4
we will also need a part of the sp3 service pk as the newer verison :after: 2004
out dates pre 2004,they even call it legacey now
as the new code is written with alot of ocx file's and other depencides
i am glad they have a sub routine call where 90% are placed where
they want them...what i need to do now is move them to were i need them and or link hercules to them,there it is u have it
will report later

Hi Ed, wat size hard drive do we need? N are we cloning our original PGA machine or are we installing new game from drop box disks?
Also coming into summer down under n it's high 20s everyday nice n warm lol
Thx Spitfire
-
hi
spitfire
ya u should be hitting the high's now as we will be hitting the low's
to answer your question
it is a full and complete rebuild
so u will put your orignal hd aside,and use a new 1
it is nicely tucked into 60gig..sp3 like's to have room to breath >piggie<,
some of the file's blooted...which will happen when u put in as many variable's as i have
ie
lan/wireless/whatever video card u decide >within reason<
no dongle nessary,option to turn card reader on/off in the main setup call
on-line real time,mult new course's,skin's,player's,the option to add yourself >pic<
in the leader pack ie 1-5,and that take's work to get to
and now
i have a e-mail and a invite to andy at ultramac
to see if i can add there native s/w pkg to it
for the ipac,which i believe i can easy
i just like to talk to bosse's first if u catch my drift
this will allow us to get rid of the native i/o board which is now dated
also added lcd support..a first for pga i will add
the setup is not for a newbie..u have a full set of option's to go through
before hercule's will allow u to load 1,2,3
and if i am right,u will need to config your control panel.?,unless i can hardcode it in ?
thus my question to ultramac
as far as i am concered i can see a full new generation of these game's
comming...none commerical..but fully confiqable to the user
i am removing coin door and dba support totaly
these are to be home game's after all
so free play is the olny option u will have
other thing's i will add is
1-hdmi support
2-any lcd res u need
3-support for the card dispanser ? why i do not know but i think it would be cool
4-windows sp3 :required: and cleaned up disk-3,if u ever broke it down u would understand why,it is a cluster f@@@
removed
1-dial-up modem
2-dongel call
3-specific video card :that was a usless call:
other thing's but the list is wrong
basicly u get it
ed

One thing I would like to add here and this may be me being ignorant but I figure better safe than sorry. For those that have "ALL ACCESS PASS" installed on their machines you may not want to download and install the files that are currently in Dropbox until everything else is configured and released on Ed's end. If you install the "Team Challenge" files on our Dropbox you may not have access to your unlocked "All Access Pass" courses as this was an upgrade that is not included in the fresh rescue and install files that are currently available via download. If I am wrong I apologize but I would hate to see anyone loose their additional courses before everything else is sorted out.
Thanks for the update here, Ed. I don't want anyone to accidentally downgrade the "All Access Pass" as I know those extra courses (25 versus 12) are not going to be installed on the Dropbox files.
-
One more thing...I bought up a bunch of the Global VR cards for saving player attributes (ie clothes, faces, etc). If anyone needs one please let me know. I'm not looking to profit on these as I want everyone involved (a member that has contributed to this thread or has been a member of BYOAC) to have one if need be. I also have an extra operator card but I'm thinking this will not be needed any longer. I just want to have a close nit community of PGA golfers that want to play online and unlock the true potential of these poorly neglected machines!
-
Hi Ed, if all that you say eventually becomes reality u have done some exceptional work there mate. A big well done and a bigger thank you as would love to add most or if not all of ur suggested mods to my machine.
Great that this is going to be a new build and as suggested u just take the old hard drive out n replace with new one and build from ground up. If all goes pair shaped in the process I suppose it's should be as easy as re inputting ur old HD and the original game should be there again. Can't wait to get starting mate n to start this world wide tournament.
Thx Spitfire

hi
spitfire and thk-u
to adress your concern it is comming along just fine
what i am doing is for :home-interest olny:
if i wanted to go commerical i would not have dug this far into it
u have to rember i am trying to do this as a 1 shot goal
thats a thing most ppl would not even want to tackel
1 thing i forgot until today is the audio
on the reg pga cab's there is a sep audio board
some come with the jama interface some just the audio board
so u can clearly see a concern there
most if not all come with a sep :test: switch..again a concern
ie a noob wiring this without a wiring diagram ?
or do i do 1 ?
or do i put it into the s/w ? and if so how do i tell it to get there ?
again a concern
on to the video
do i make it a seperate :video: driver disk
and if so how many card's do i inclued,with the nessary driver's,and telling hercules to expect it and or complain about not having it?
again another concern
or do i just put or the nessary basic pkg and let ppl come and get what they need
without knowning and or having a x-tal-ball ?
and them telling me x-y-z will not work,when i have placed most >expect< for ipac in it,
again a concern
what i am getting at is i have to tred carefull ground here
which is what i am doing
this is not a emulater at any strech
it is the real thing..so i tend to error on the side of right..not the side well we will just through it out there
so i truley hope u see my thought's here

hi
ok a little update here
i just recieved a e-mail from andy
it appear's i was clear enough to him on what i want to do with the ipac,so i replyed to hopefully clear it up
waiting for his reply now
stpcore i was reading a thread by u
tigerwood's was put in a long time ago
gt 2013 live can never go in as it is server bound
gt 2012 what is out there is olny 1/2 of the program the rest is server bound
here is what they did,if u have any experince with touchtune's or rowe-ami/merit
u will understand this.?,what is on the hard drive's is the :base: system,audit's,etc
but the main program is server bound,all gaming mfg's went that way in 2012
so in short u need a internet connection and pay a fee to get the program,and it is olny shadowed in the ram,the true running program is never d/l to the harddrive
as far as it goes for all gt version's upto 2011 there now in the pga's
why i did that i never understand,but is but,i guess i wanted there skin's/course's
there was a reason for it at 1 time,but as this has growen to the size it is
i honestly forget why i added them..

I'm not interested in Golden Tee any longer since I purchased my first PGA machine. I was just thinking it would be a fun project to try to place a newer PC version of PGA Golf (2012 or 2013) in an arcade cabinet for the updated graphics, players, courses, etc. My main concern was trying to get it to interface properly with the trackball since these newer games are meant to be played with a mouse.
Regarding your PGA Team Challenge update(s)...would it be safe to assume that this won't be ready for release until after the first of the year? The ONLY reason I'm asking is because I'm trying to piece together a home machine for my brother and it would make it much easier (and advantageous) to run your updated program in a newer tower versus me trying to piece together an older tower for him.
One last thing regarding CVN53's question since he is running "CHALLENGE" and not "TEAM CHALLENGE"...are the files in Dropbox for "TEAM CHALLENGE" or "CHALLENGE"? I thought they were "TEAM CHALLENGE". I know those are two different version with "TEAM CHALLENGE" being the most current.
Thanks, Ed!

hi
there basicly the same
but to error on the safe side i will send up challange tonight
ed
-
I don't think the dongles will be compatible with each other. That's the issue. If someone has a Challenge dongle and they install Team Challenge and don't have the dongle for it they are going to be SOL. If you want to upload Challenge at some point and invite me to share I will host it from my Dropbox so you don't have to deal with it.
Thanks!

hi
let me look for challange
and i will share
and yes there is a dongle dif
reason i got of the dawm thing
and it's call's,not to breach s/w but it is usless
and hold's ppl back from this wonderfull game...
The main eng team for pga broke up over 10 year's ago
hence the reason gobal-vr gave me the okie dokie to do as i am doing
now if there sister co. >er< has a newer verison i would love to see it,
but to my know they olny bought up some of the other video game right's,will have to double chk.
Olny game in town i know of is gt-live 2012/2013 we just went 2013
in my eye's if gobal-vr had stuck it out
they would have wacked its-gamming in the nad's but good by going live
ed
-
hi
i just want to clear-up something
i was going through my note's >page's<
and it hit me some of the challange's could be up-dated without a dongle change
i just need to know the # on the dongle
and i can cross it over
as i have the up-grade disk's also
i will place the up-grade's by rev here tonight or tommrow,
if they do not get up tonight no fear's,i am on the road at 8:15am and will
be off road at 4:pm,so it would be tommrow evening

If that is a possibility (upgrade from Challenge to Team Challenge without dongle) let me know. I have a set of Challenge CDs and a Challenge dongle and would like to upgrade it to Team Challenge for my brother's machine. I've been searching for a Team Challenge dongle but haven't had any luck.
-
hi
stpcore
yes it was 50/50
the deceatied cab's had a dif dongle then the :kit: cab's
but the #'s should be clearly listed
if it is not on the outside open the dongle
and on the atmel will be a sticker
if not i can post u the program to dump the atmel
then in any hex-editor u will beable to see it in the ascii
u are just dumping it NOT re-writting it
so fuse's are of no concern
another way to tell
if your pga is up ?,then plug in the dongle u want test
and it willl either take it >good<,or it will spit back to u wrong dongle etc,etc,
in the etc,etc it will report the verison u pluged in
ed
-
hi
this is your dongle reg value in window's
>>Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\GlobalVR]
"PQI Version"="PGA 2.0.0" <<
please note it is for :verison 2.0.0:
we will be killing this !!REG!! cmd
what we will do is take our pga stuff
and go through the 4 disk's 1 at a time,
we will make 4 sep .dir's in a harddrive
so we all stay on the same page
as i post it..
then we kill what we do not want
then last we will kill the cmd's in hercule's
that we no longer want.
The reason we are killing these cmd's is so we can .cfg pga the way we like,plus it will open it up for u to take seperate !patch! file's to suit your need's,and u ppl get a good lesson in about 4 dif type's of editor's
once we are done this
u will make 4 different disk's
1=rescue
2=disk-1
3=disk-2
4=disk-3
call them all new-r-etc,etc,etc
DO NOT lock them,as they will be the 1's u will be using
some i will olny want to add a !patch! file to,as i get the bug report's.
The first taker is the !dongle!
i will see if ican get all the kill's up tonight
side note here personal
i have had a biatch of a time with my work vechile this last 2 week's
hence the delay's,but me think's the mighty foucs is buying a new 1 way ride to the wrecker's,and i c a new car in the laneway

hi
everyone please get all of pga
make 4 different .dir's in your harddrive's
as what i post next is the .bat's,.reg,.dos.bat file's we will be removing from disk :3:
these will be done on there respitive .dir's in your harddrive..:main putter: NOT YOUR PGA,then we will burn the .dir >example disk 3< to cd calling it disk 3
make the disk bootable but leave it !UNLOCKED!,if u do not know how to do this
then u may need to wait for pga bot....,so in short u have just made a modified disk 3 that u can edit..hope u catch the point ?,now for most of u go get FREEFILEVIEWER
it is exaclty that FREE and will allow u to see what u are editing
once i get the ok we follow u i will start to post the kill's

take the rescue disk
make a .dir on your hard drive call it rescue
once u have :COPYED: the disk there
open it,:REMOVE THIS BATCH FILE >>GVRDONGLEMONITOR<<,it is in :HERCULES:
it should no longer look for a dongle at all,then burn it to a disk
use it as your rescuse disk
all the other 3 should load up
as u have turned off the dongle call in hercules,it should not bark for it
nor will it call the window's reg's in

Thanks Ed. It was a crazy weekend and I'm just getting caught up. Two things. It looks like Hercules set up is on Disk-1, 2, and 3 and not in my Rescue that I can find. Am I looking in the wrong place? I found the below batch on Disk-1, 2, and 3 in the "Hercules Setup" file. Do I delete EVERYTHING in bold as shown below or would I only delete "program"="GVRDongleMonitor.exe" portion?

hi
it should be right in the rescue disk >gvrdonglemonitor.exe<,once u kill it the one's
in disk1,2,3 cannot be called in as the rescuse disk set's it up as a .exe
when we refer to a .bat >batch-file< it could and alot of time is a .exe
where a .dat file is a data file,much like a .cab is a cabnet file >ie a batch of driver's/dll's grouped into 1 file that has to excuted through window's/system32<
for me personaly and i know this is wrong,to try to explain it,when someone tell's me .bat i tend to look for both .bat and .exe..
spitfire let me get stpcore going first please

This is what I'm seeing when I go to the rescue. I was using "freefileviewer" to search within each file and I don't see the "gvrdonglemonitor.exe" anywhere. Am I overlooking it? This is Team Challenge. Interesting is the amount of Need For Speed files are in the PQ_Debug file. Have no idea why those are there.

Sorry to hear about that, Ed. I hope it all works out in the end.
I'm still hanging at the dongle bypass so let me know what you think. I found the files on each of the 3 install disks but not the rescue. I just need to know EXACTLY what I am deleting.
Spitfire- Dropbox still has the rescue disk and install disks for "TEAM CHALLENGE" only so you aren't missing anything at this point.

Hi stpcore, I stumbled across this forum while looking for a few answers on PGA golf hardware limitations. I have a machine running Team Challenge but non of the install discs or recovery disc. I did receive the set of game disc's with the cabinet, but they are for a previous version. Was hoping you could link me to your upload so that I can download the correct install disc's for this cabinet.
I have rebuilt the PC inside the the cabinet a couple of times so if there is anything that I could help you with I would be glad to try.
Cheers

that's totally fine. That would be great if you could get pga to work with an ipac. I could build a few machines for my friends so we could all join your network and play tournaments. With an ipac as the interface and a VGA to ega/cga adapter board it would be easy to do and pretty cheap.

its an adapter board the lets you plug in a VGA connection(computer) and it outputs an ega or cga signal. Ega is medium resolution arcade monitor. Cga is a standard arcade monitor.

So at that point you are bypassing the S-Video on the graphic card in order to receive a better picture? I'm anxiously awaiting on how this will look if I connect the PGA computer to a 40" LCD monitor. I'm wondering if that size will be too large for a pedestal type cabinet or if I will have any sync issues but I seem to remember that someone told me that it's essentially plug and play.

it would not be as good a picture. Pga uses a high Res monitor in a dedicated cabinet. The adapter board would make it possible to put the pga computer in any old arcade cabinet with any old monitor. The ipac would make it possible to not have to use the pga wire harness. So basicly you could make any old arcade game into a working pga machine with:
An arcade cabinet
A working arcade monitor
Any computer with pga and eds upgrades installed
An ipac
An adapter board
Your own harness
A trackball and a couple buttons.
I would more than likely be building a few of these as soon as all the computer stuff is figured out by our Savior ed. I have a ton of extra wire so I could make harnesses for anyone that needs them. I really want to help but since I'm not a computer guy this could be my contribution to the pga project.

Ed, it just dawned on me. We would have to use an opti-pac not an ipac for the trackball and button interface. Right?
Sent from my LG-P509 using Tapatalk 2
-
hi
dirt
opti-pac carry's the trackball input ?
if so then yes
which ever the result's are still going to be the same
we need to manually add the .dll's/.oxc's/driver's to window's
and the nessary pointer to hercule's
which is why i contaced andy
because his uses perty much gernic stuff with full blown window's
which we do not run,pga run's a very limted set of window's system driver's
more graphic then anything else
and they are limted at best...
so my thinking is to take which ever or both and add them to pga golf,and do away with the dated i/o board
or if 1 want's they could spin it around and run full window's,and run the pga under emulation,which in my eye's take's away the full flavor of the game
but back to your point i will look at opti-pack
ed
-
Yes the optipac it for trackballs and spinners. The ipac is for buttons only.
Sent from my LG-P509 using Tapatalk 2

hi
dirt where the opipac is built for spinner's and rollerballs
the ipac can .cfg to be the same
hence the reason i leaned toward's it
u c the optipac expect's window's full xp or mame,again full xp to be loaded
u must rember we run on winxp(e)..ie limted driver's
ie dll's/.oxc's
unless i blot window's, then that is a dif ball game all toghter..
ipac i would think can handle the job
let me see what andy has to say

hope all is well down under?
dirt i did respond to u twice about the optipac
i am still leaning toward's the i-pac
i just do not want to blot windowsxp(e) to much
u have to understand we run under a limteded ammout of driver's
ie .dll's/.oxc's/driver's..to prove this to yourself
just open it with any good editer
and look in system and or system32
we can if demand is there do it,lord know's 3 op's here support shoutbox
which carry's all nessary real file's
so u realy can not muck any thing up and not beable to fix it
simple over write there
fix's that muck up
in a post that did not make it up ?
i explained the dif
optipac is windows system32 native
ie look's at the input as dual mouse's
i did explain once hercule's hand's over control to window's
the keyboard and mouse will work
but,and here's the rub,the control is handed back to hercule's
so in short we need to place in hercule's the call's

how is your back ??
hope that is good
BTW PPL I PUT THE BOSS IN HIS PLACE TODAY
so i have a :):):) going
now rem andy has NOT as of yet given me AUTH to do this
but all we need do is to add some new :native-window's: call's to the ipac
ie let's just say we use player #2 as on at all time's as a track ball
or such,i will tinker till i hear from andy
i understand the optipac
it may or may not work ?
u c it must turn off the window's native driver's for keyboard and mouse
much like hercule's dose,but the i/o then gain's control
the pointer is sitting right in hercule's
u have to rember we run under a limted # of windows driver's
i would rather still do it using the ipac...but hey i like the easier way to
from what i have seen and i wish andy would clear the mud up here
the ipac is driver driven the optipac is window's driven..to dif anmial's
u have to keep a point in your mind
WE are not SPK3
service pack 3
we do not even reach SPK2

Hi All, it seems to me that we r heading off the initial path of modifying the PGA code to allow tournament play again n also to unlock all the players, items, courses etc. thx to Ed it seems all this as been done aswell as being able to replace the graphics card with a newer card of choice, bypassing the dongle call etc etc. however now we r trying to find a way to use the ipac in order to bypass the hard to get io interface. Why can't this be done at a later date n we continue with adding these mods to our original machines so we can all enjoy playing some online tournament play again and enjoy our original machines with all players, items n courses unlocked. After this we can continue with the ipac solution to our new builds?? Can this be done Ed? As we downunder wish to play u blokes sooner rather than much later?
Thx Spitfire

hi
no spitfire we are on track fully
here's the score board
which i will copy and paste to notepad to show saint when the time is right
i am allowing a op here to post the nessary code set as patch's
on :shoutbox:,to the idiot that like's to edit/delete my post's
the word's are simple GO ---fudgesicle--- YOURSELF
here is the score
u can :kill the dongle:
u can enable :lan-control:
we can do a ipac/opti-pac for all to use >i love this idea<,
remove's the dam dated board
i will step off at mame..but that is all your call's

hi
from the rescue disk
after u >copy< it
delete this file
c:\pga\hercules\gvrdongle.exe
so in short u have copyed the rescue disk
to a .dir u made on your harddrive.
i will asume u olny have 1 harddrive =c
but if u have multi hardrive's d,e,f
it has to be there
it is that simple
delete that file
it's a period
that is a exe file >.exe<
your dongle call will no longer be there
hercules will bypass it totaly
now load this to a vrigin drive
NOT over top of the current drive
because u have invoked the window's hkey's already
and there .dll's/.ocx's
ie system32/system
once u have done this
save it
ie
hercules
this is now your new rescue disk
u no longer need the dongle
ed

Very nice, Ed. What program do you recommend for editing code? I personally have never had a reason to do it up until now. Now I can get my Team Challenge up and running again!
Do have have an updated ETA for your personal server with the previously discussed updates / IRC with PGA Bot?
If anyone has attempted the dongle bypass let us know how it turned out. I will post my results when I figure out how to delete the line of code and get a virgin hard drive.

Hi Ed,
Ok mate will sit tight for a while longer n await ur instructions as I would love to make all the mods needed for online play, the unlocking of players, courses n items and also the changing of graphics card all in one go if possible. Let me know when ready Ed?

Hi

forget the name of it off my head
then i change .dat/.bat to >>.txt<<
edit if need,save,then chk crc,then rename to what ever the .bat/.dat was
same with .exe unless it is locked
then i use a window's unlocker
and repeat step's ^^^

Hi
spitfire
if u are up to it ? i can upload the modem kill cmd
and the cmd to turn on the onboard lan's
rem some of these unit's the onboard lan will not work at-all
so what i do is shove in a lan card with it's own bios chip
no fuss no muss
just have to tell herc it is there
u add the cmd in cmd line
ie >> gvrlanchk <<what it is doing is telling hercule's to look for a lan connection
from there it is a cake walk
a few system32/system driver's and away we go
side note here i am haveing a hard time explaining to andy that i cannot use the ipac if it want's a full window's service pk
as we run under limted window's and are basicly running under hercule's
i will need to c what it want's
just thought i would update u on the ipac front
and btw spitefire unless u have a boatload of stock on the i/o card
u might want to pay attenion
ed

Hi Ed,
As mentioned previously I am happy to wait n do all the mods all at once. So take ur time sort everything out n then once ready upload all the mods n ill make all the changes needed all at on time. I worked with Andy and his ipac, apac etc on my multicabs and they do a great job so yes would be great to have these as a backup to run the controls. Just thought this side of the mod could be done later so we get everyone's original cabs as they are running all the mods n playing online now as cant wait to play some golf against u guys on the other side of the world not to mention unlock all the extra items courses players etc
Thx Spitfire

I can keep a computer on 24-7 without any problems. Feel free to PM me the details if that's easier. I can give you my phone number as well in the event you prefer to talk.
I bought a non working PGA tower and a gutted control panel from a member at KLOV (nice guy) and was able to get it up and running. It's currently running Championship I so I'm going to do the upgrade to Team Challenge. I may test the dongle bypass on this one as it's going to my brother's house as a Christmas gift. That way I don't have to worry about the dongle failing on him.
So basically I have to find a new drive to do this...correct? I can't upgrade the Championship I to the edited Team Challenge code if I understand that correctly. It would have to be a fresh install on a brand new drive for the dongle bypass to be effective, right?

Don't want to get off topic but thought a little break in the action would be OK. I remember some comments on PGA hooked up to an LCD display. So while I was repairing a non working tower I hooked it up to my 60" plasma not expecting much but I was completely surprised! Obviously 60" is a little overkill and not ideal for a pedestal cabinet but I was just curious. I think a 40" LCD would be PERFECT for this game. The pic here doesn't do the actual PGA display justice, trust me.

hi
stpcore
it is not off topic
yes a 40/42" lcd work's like a gem
i perfer 32" as the white's do not tear
if u have ever seen gt-live? it is a 42" lcd driven by super-hdmi
and u will c the white's are a tad into just about tearing
where on a 32" it's like looking into a putter monitor
and our video card without any update's will fully support it

Does anyone here have the original 3 install cds for "TEAM CHALLENGE" that they could share with me? My rescue cd is fine but the current install cds that I have are not working and I really need to get one of my machines up and running if possible.

Thanks, Ed. I have version four that has the (4) disks. If you don't have time to upload them I do have someone that is willing to lend me the originals and they have agreed to mail them to me.
I still am a little confused as to Hercules not being on the Rescue disk. It clearly sits on the install disks but I can't find it on the Rescue ANYWHERE. I don't think we ever got this clarified from days ago. Any thoughts on this and if you don't mind would you be able to do a small step by step tutorial on how we are to disable the dongle call? It seems that we have been stuck on this step for quite some time and once we can all grasp this step it would be great to move on to your greater project.
Any word on getting the server up and running? As I said I would be happy to dedicate a computer to run 24/7 and help out in any way I can.

With Ed talking about us being able to connect our PGAs via HDMI in a future update it got me thinking about putting a widescreen 16:9 LCD/LED into the gutted cabinet that I'm restoring versus a traditional 4:3 monitor or CRT. I can use the VGA output on a widescreen LED now and switch to HDMI in the future when that patch is available.
I didn't want to put another regular monitor in there as I wanted to upgrade to widescreen (16:9) LCD/LED. The problem with widescreen LCDs and arcade cabinets that I've found is width of the cabinet can make certain LCDs look small in general because widescreen (16:9 format) are wider and loose a little height in the process.
So my goal was to fit the biggest LCD widescreen TV I could find inside the 27" of space that I have in the cabinet. I also wanted to fill in the areas above and below the screen with a custom printed bezel so that the screen wasn't lost in a space of blackness making it look smaller. So this is what I've come up with so far.
The TV I plan to get is a VIZIO Razor 29" Widescreen Format LCD HDTV. It's 26.42" wide which will fit PERFECTLY inside the cabinet! It has VGA (what we should all be using with our PGAs) as well. The link is here http://store.vizio.com/led-lcd-hdtvs/e291a1.html (http://store.vizio.com/led-lcd-hdtvs/e291a1.html) and it can be found for about $250 at Walmart, Costco, etc.
I still want to tweak this bezel a bit until I get it perfect. From there I will print it off and stick it directly to the glass that will be on top of the LCD. If you have any suggestions let me know. I will update pics when everything is done. I designed this to scale taking the size of the cabinet, size of the LCD, and size of the LCD screen into account. This is what it should look like when done covering the entire protective glass of the cabinet with a printed decal bezel. I am in search for a clear vector of the Global VR logo so that I can incorporate that within my personal design. I didn't have any luck finding on online. Any ideas would be appreciated!

Thanks! I really like PGA Golf and Im becoming passionate about making improvements and modifications to make it as enjoyable as possible. I've turned many friends and a few family members on to playing it as well.
I think that Eds efforts are crucial as it will keep this game alive for years to come. I'm thankful to Global VR for allowing him to edit code so we can all continue to play this underrated / underplayed golf sim.
I started a PGA Owners thread over at another forum. Maybe I should start one here so that I don't accidentally derail this thread. I know that I get excited when I see that a post was submitted as I think it could be our holy grail. How disappointing it must be for some when its me talking about a custom bezel! :lol

this is a terrible picture...and it's also not pga, but the pga was hacked up just the same as this one...

Yeah, I dig that actually. How much does the pedestal weigh without the TV? Is it fairly portable? Nice job on that.

Oh, and what size LCD are you using?

it's about 50 or 60 lbs... maybe. nothing really. I have no problem picking it up and placing it on a dolly...it's just big an awkward.
the monitor stand on the other hand is about 150 lbs.
the base is a 30"x30" 1/4" steel plate and the pole is 6' of 4" square tubing. it's designed to withstand being knocked into by drunken people.

Hi I'm new to this forum, and I know this is a little off topic.
I have a Need for speed Underground Arcade cabinet with a ps35-bl motherboard. What I'm wondering is if there is anyway to get the game to fully boot on a different motherboard of similar specs.

Welcome to the forum.
If your question doesn't get answered in this thread I would suggest starting a thread in the "Main Forum" area. It will certainly get more exposure than this particular thread and I would think you would get a reply fairly quickly.
Good luck!

Scored a pga challenge 3 edition at auction to day $12.50.

because the OS is a stripped down linux based instsall, you'd have to find a board with the same chipset/videocard to get it to work.
if you find a board that uses the Intel 865G chipset and drop the original videocard into it, it MAY work.

Hey Shawn, the motherboard I installed does have the Intel 865g chip set, the same
CPU, ram and other components. The only thing I've noticed is different, is the
Ethernet controller and sound drivers. Do you think putting the drivers for the controller/sound
Manually would work on it.
Also after running the recovery disk, the game hangs at the in intilizing insert dongle,
Even though the dongle is installed.
I've just read through a lot of this thread and have seen some of you
Have been able to bring your games back to life with a different motherboard,
Hoping I can do the same here, gvr basically forces the upgrade on an old cabinet.

FNF computers are the WORST to try and keep running. currently raw thrills lists a "MB-N68S+" as the current replacement but a "Biostar N68S+ ver. 6.2" with a GS7300 video card apparently works too.
well, the main difference is that the pga game is installed overtop of a stripped down windows xp installation (only the drivers needed for the hardware installed) called "XP embedded". since just about everyone has a windows XP or xp pro disk, it's easy enough to ditch the XPe and install win xp with all the drivers needed for new hardware...and then just install the PGA game overtop of it.
the raw thrills machines use a linux kernal OS...again with everything stripped down to basic hardware driver requirements for that particular computer.
the "install disk" is basically a drive image of a finished install.
IF you can find someone with some proficiency in linux, you might be able to load the drive with the install, put the drive into a linux computer, mount the drive, and change the install/load drivers to work with new hardware.
sadly i know next to nothing about linux... perhaps finding a linux forum and posting some questions there might get you some more info.
BUT if you do manage to get some different hardware working with the software, I'd be interested in learning more. we have about 20 Big buck hunter machines out in the wild that have similar linux installs and motherboards that are failing left right and center.

:cheers: SUCCESS!!! :cheers:
I have the game installed and running on a Dell GX260 with SOUND!!!
The real test now is to pop it into a cabinet and see if it really plays. Sadly the cabinet is a days drive away, so it will be a week or so before I get to that location.
Still, this is awesome! The video card is an FX5600 so no breakthrough there. Basically after the system recovery disk installation, I went into windows and installed the two drivers listed in posts above. The sound driver asked for locations for drmk.sys and wdmaud.sys, which are in c:\windows\system32\drivers and c:\windows\system32 respectively. I had to do this step 2 times until it booted into the GVR logo w/o prompting or errors. Inserted the game disk 1 then 2 when prompted, and voila I hear the sound of the ball going into the hole. It's all good!
Thanks for inspiring me to work on this. Now to find another computer to try this with. Two more cabinets need fixing...
I've got my need for speed underground up and running!! I ran the recovery disk
I did exactly what Paul did for the audio drivers
And installed the Ethernet controller driver
Then I installed the game after. I'm running an ASUS P4P800-VM Socket478 Intel 865G
One more game to fix now! I'm so glad I came across this thread.
Thanks for your knowledge guys!

Ed, where you able to confirm that the dongle call is in the HKEY on disks 1,2, and 3 but NOT the rescue? I can find it only on the installs and searched several times for hours on the rescue without finding it anywhere. I had another person test the deletion of the .exe that you instructed to delete but Team Challenge is still calling for the dongle so that's not working on our end. The gvrdongle.exe file was deleted on each of the 3 installs (couldn't locate it on rescue). I'm thinking that at this point it would just be easier to download your software from your private server since it is tested and running on your end. I'm not having any luck with editing code.
Will your private server be up and running before new year?
Hope all is well, buddy.

it is a optipac we will be using to replace the i/o board
this will be a up-grade i will add as a patch
so as not to interfer with ppl that do have a running i/o board
but rather a option for them
ltr tonight i will post a list of what the what is
it is rather long,tommrow is a short day for me
so i will be around the keyboard most of the afternoon
cmd32.exe if broken down
carry's the call's to hercule's
that is to answer your question stpcore
hercule's is the main moudle
the window's call mean nothing if it is turned OFF in hercules's
i suggest u ppl get harddrive's that can handle window's >>SP3<<
to get to the cmd32.exe
first u are playing with fire here :u have been warrned:
u will require a 32bit decompiler
and u will need a crc chker
and then u will need a 32bit recompiler
i will list my fav's
this cmd32.exe is the very first file ran from the rescue disk
plus u can c it load everytime pga load's up
it is a small window that pop's up say's >cmd32.exe< then colse's
the game then load's
ed

Well I'm certainly not wishing to play with fire so I can wait for your release. Any idea as to when we will be able to download via your server?

Appreciate keeping us posted ed. Just had another video card bite the dust so eagerly await your completion of every request as to install a stable video card. I also did some digging aroung in my all access HD and found alot of reference to tiger woods as a player with all his settings, ball, .plr files. If I dig with hercules can I possible reinstate all the players??
Thanks

hi
yukonblaze
yes
u may find the cmd's as =0
and or =1
or depending on your rev
>>>>cmd > '<
the ' is a rem cmd
also so is >>> : <<<
take's a byte to get to
but if u can post your rev >load-up-page<
i can better help u
btw hercule's is easy to edit
suck's your video card biatched,but i am now leaning toward's what i set out to do
and load sp3,then run in pga with the driver's hercule's will understand
to repoint is easy
u go into hercule's and remove :nivida:rem this cmd olny,and replace it with the card u want to run >the reason for the rem is to save u a boat load of work if u need to go backward's<
then tell it where to expect to find them
ie c:\windows\system32\system
then u load the driver's into window's
into both system and system32

hi
A simple walk through for gobal vr pga golf
hi
there is so much to list,that i will try to answer alot of question's here
i am going to try to keep this simpile
first i need to asume u have a gobal-vr pga golf >rev< dose not really matter here
from there we will go to common thing's
a=u can remove the dial-up modem and toss it
b=u can turn the internal lan on,to do this u will do a few edit's
in a program called hercule's,it is the main base program for your machine
to do this remove your harddrive from the pga
slave it,and place it as a slave in any spare computer u have laying around
it should be seen in window's as :d:
using window's explorer,explore the drive,u will find hercule's
in hercule's u will find modem >contexit<,u will find video >nivida< u will find >dongle call<
the conexit is the modem call, remove it, will kill modem call
the nivida is your video card call this we edit
the dongle call is your dongle >key-call< this if u need remove it
now we move to the system file's
they are under d:\window's
where d:is your pga drive
now what we are going to do is a few jump's
first we are going to find the driver's for our new video card
and load them olny to window's system and system32
next we are going to find the nessary driver's for our onboard lan
and repeat the upper step of adding them to window's system and system32
please make sure u add to both of the .dir's
next we are going back to hercule's
and we are going to add in the name of the new video card
in place of the nivida call
so we remove the name nivida and place in the new name
then we will add a cmd to turn on the lan
on most it is remed out
if not simply tell hercule's to look for onboard lan
ie >lookforonboardlan<
the full walk around will be on the bot soon
rember these olny apply to your d: drive and not your main window's drive :c

When is the server with PGA Bot going live?
-
Hi All,
A little off topic. I have got myself a team challenge Led scrolling topper however it has no power supply or serial cable to connect it to my PC. Would anyone have a spare one of these items lying around and be willing to send them to Melbourne Australia? I off course would be willing to compensate anyone for the items postage and time. Would love to get this running on my machine as a little added bonus to enjoy the upcoming new lease of life Ed is going to provide to us all.
Thx in advance,
Spitfire
-
I think I have a spare cable but not a power supply. Let me know if you can't find someone that has both (would be cheaper to ship both together obviously) and I will ship you the cable.
-
I just bought another PGA tower that is supposed to be running Team Challenge. When I turn it on I get constant LONG BEEEEEPs and no display (black screen). I had this problem with another tower and when I replaced the battery on the mother board and the video card it started up. Is there anything specific that I should be looking for on this one as I don't have another video card or battery at the moment?
***UPADATE*** I was able to get it to reboot without an issue by holding down the power button and letting it restart.
-
I think I have a spare cable but not a power supply. Let me know if you can't find someone that has both (would be cheaper to ship both together obviously) and I will ship you the cable.
i believe the power supply is 7.2 volts and 3 amps?
it's an old school transformer poer supply and it's heavy as hell. You could probably order a modern SMPS power supply from china off e-bay for cheaper than it would cost to ship.
let me double check the supply specs and get back to you (unless someone here has one they can look at.

Here are the specs on the one that I have in my cab...

I started a PGA Golf Owners thread for those that want to have friendly competitions, post scores, share ideas, and anything else that may throw this 17 page long thread off topic. It can be found here
http://forum.arcadecontrols.com/index.php/topic,129168.0.html (http://forum.arcadecontrols.com/index.php/topic,129168.0.html)
I hope that all of you will consider subscribing! I tend to come up with a new idea for PGA every so often and I don't want to back up this thread. I'm hoping to keep THIS (Ed's) thread on course (no pun intended) while still giving us way to keep PGA going strong! Hopefully this will open up additional time for Ed to keep on rolling.
If you have been watching these threads and never bothered to become a registered user here I would encourage that you do so! It's about to get interesting!

What is the best program for poking around the pga HD? Wount to look at .plr files and others but all look decrypted. Poking around my all access drive and ran herucles UI in hercules folder in drives main directory and showed dongle present. This drive I pulled from working cab, is there a way to put this file so that pga cab cant overwrite the dongle present?? I am just poking around trying to figure out hercules, so will have questions now that my interest in peaked.

Hi All,
Thanks for all ur info bout power supply n serial I will search for one on eBay n let u know how I go. I might need to get that extra serial cable off u though Stp as I think this might be a bit hard to find?
On an other note only downloaded original Dropbox recovery files from day one. Are there other files I should have Ed if so can u let us know n leave in box a while longer as I haven't looked in there for a while?

You are fine. The only files that were in DB were the original Rescue and three install CDs in the event you needed a fresh install. Now we wait...

hi
spitfire the cable u are looking for is a db9 to rj45
nothing special
it will plug into your pga serial port then the rj45 goe's into the overhead display
why u are doing this is mistfying to me ? as gobal-vr shut them down expect for local
adv-ing once they shut there server down,lord know's i never even coded into them
but is but,have at er.....
i was tinkering with the idea..but is but again..seemed like a waste of time to me
as i have reved to sp3,we can overlay on screen
or u can up to hdmi->2<
and run a sep lcd :18"-x-5": and do away with the led display
and the serial sucking port
but then again this is your call,i can find the display info and explain the edit's if u so request.?.
by now ppl should have caught onto the idea i am NOT answering my pm's
the reason is simple
i get very little time to code right now
as i tired to explain..i am running the big show..this mean's the full route and ppl that work for us,plus doing my electronic repair work
so by no mean's am i inqouring u..but there is a point where u want a tad to yourself
all request's will be filled

Good day all. I have a PGA with Challenge III version 2.2.0.0 on it (I have 2.2.2.0 disks but they appear to be bad). I can get the game installed and running with the 2.2.0.0 version. Couple of problems though:
Is there any way to set it to $.25 a credit? 1 Credit a game?
And the BIG one, how can I change out the video driver so I can use a later version Nvidia card? The card in the machine is dying (corrupt screen blocks). What I tried:
Used the recovery disk to format the machine
Copied the NVidia 93.71_Forceware driver onto the machine (but didn't install it)
Rebooted and finished the 2.2.0.0 install to the point the machine came up to game mode.
Turned it off and swapped video cards (I had hoped XP would detect the new card and ask for a video driver, but it didn't).
Game starts to boot but ends up at a black screen.
I am trying to install a BFG Tech GeForce FX 5700.
Open to any suggestions on how to get around this issue (different software versions, different process to get the driver onboard, etc). Thanks.

it has to be there
it is that simple
delete that file
it's a period
that is a exe file >.exe<
your dongle call will no longer be there
hercules will bypass it totaly
now load this to a vrigin drive
NOT over top of the current drive
because u have invoked the window's hkey's already
and there .dll's/.ocx's
ie system32/system
once u have done this
save it
ie
hercules
this is now your new rescue disk
u no longer need the dongle
but THIS DOSE NOT APPLY TO A RUNNING GAME..for the simple reason
as u have pointed out......>running game<
hercule's found it in the WINDOW'S SYSTEM/SYSTEM32 FILE'S
U MUST KILL THE CALL CMD

Hey thanks Ed but I seem to have a VERY different software layout than what your seeing.

I removed the drive from the machine, installed it into an external IDE -> USB enclosure.
Connected it to my PC (Win 8) drive shows up as an external disk G:
To be safe I copied the entire contents to a backup folder on another drive.
I have view hidden files turned on, I did a search for her*.* on the drive. No results found.
I am seeing else where talk about a rescue disk? I have an emergency recovery disk (050-0024-01 Rev B) and two software disks Version 2.2.0.0. I don't have a rescue disk.
It's obvious I am missing something here.
-
Well I was able to get the game up for posterity here is what I did:
Using the (2.2.0.0 emergency recovery disk 050-0025-01 Rev B) with the original video card I started the install.
Then I used the 2.2.2.0 disks to install the game
After the game was up I shut down and swapped video cards. The new card was a FX5200 which the drivers installed by 2.2.2.0 worked with.
I had to reboot twice to get things to configure correctly.
I also had to jump into the start menu in that quick second it is up because the video was defaulting to 640x480 and I had to change it to 800x600.
Now if I could just figure out how to get it to be a bit more $ friendly (this is going into a budget location). I would REALLY like to be able to configure it for 1$ for 18 holes.
Thanks.

I must be doing something wrong because I cannot find Hercules ANYWHERE on my rescue disk for Team Challenge. Has anyone else been able to find it on the Rescue? I can only find it on the install CDs. I copied the Rescue to my home computer and when I explore each folder I don't see Hercules listed anywhere nor do I see any reference to the dongle call. I only see the GVRdongle.exe on the three installs. If someone has a few minutes to check their Rescue I would appreciate it. Ed, is it possible that my rescue is different for some reason?
Ed, would you consider posting your complete Rescue CD that has the edit completed prior to waiting for the online server to officially launch? It seems that it would help many here to play their PGAs again. I've personally fallen on my face trying to get anywhere with my Rescue CD for weeks. I've asked for some help from a few other friends and they were not able to do this either.
Im ready to throw in the towel and humbly ask for an upload of your edited CD. If you say Hercules is there then I believe it. For some reason I just cannot find it. You would be putting an end to months of frustration by uploading a complete edited Rescue. It will certainly fit in Dropbox! What do you say, buddy? :applaud:

When I copied the Rescue CD to my home computer and opened it up I don't see a file structure that looks anything like this.

Hi Ed thx for the heads up. Just thought it might be a good addition as my cousins machine has it displaying player stats throughout the game which I thought was a nice touch. However my other mates machine only has it advertising ---steaming pile of meadow muffin--- which I don't like to much. Not sure how u change it to display stats or the stuff u want any help would be great. So I just thought I had the led topper lying around why not use it on my original machine. In future build would be great to do as suggested and had another display and do this type of stuff. Just started my holidays so have time now to get my machines up and running as they should and it comes at a good time as my PGA machine just made a pop the other day on boot up and died urgghhh yet to diagnose problem to see what actually went wrong will keep ya posted.
Thx heaps,

hi
spitfire
i went looking for the overhead call
and i must be a mourn,as i cannot find it yet
most of the time i can,but i just cannot find the dran call
even on my running live...just cannot find it
this may be the reason i walked away from it over 2 year's ago??
i am going to the warehouse,think i may grab 1,hook it up and c what the what is
i mean we should beable to program it somehow?

hi
do u see the pq ?
that is parition magic
i went trough this 15 post's ago
it put's a layer on top of the hard-drive >it not olny chk's it,but layer's it<
the pic's i up-loaded are right out of the server box
GOBAL-VR-PGA-GOLF u can clearly see it in the back-ground,even with my lame arse pic taker :):)
i did biatch about it,then i broke the code down,posted what was nessary to fix it
NOW if u cannot get your's running without dongle ?,just hold tight
i will post the how to
ed
Are you editing within those folder by slaving your PGA drive versus popping in the Rescue and copy and pasting it's contents over to another computer's C Drive and then exploring the contents? When I copy and paste the Rescue to my home computer's desktop and open it up I have the file structure as displayed in my last post. I do not see any of the folders you are snapping pics of. The only thing I can think of is that you might be looking at a HD that has the Rescue installed already or it's because Windows 7 is displaying the contents of the Rescue differently then XP? I'm not using any special program to look into Rescue either am I? Just Windows?
Has anyone else been able to do this dongle bypass from the Rescue? Can anyone give this a try and see if it's just me being an idiot about this?

hi
no stpcore
this box run's window's-xp-sp3
as a rule i use a advanced file viewer
>freefileviewer<
or i use wordpad or notepad
unless window's want's me to run a different type :like: on .cmd line file's
or when i am inside of the pga >there is a boat load of file's written just for them<
all the normal gui's are written just for them,so that take's a special ediitor
because when u want to add a player,u cannot upload it to the program as a mpeg2/3,must be uploaded to the program as a mepg1 and named as such
i do believe i changed that so it will take mpeg2/3 and more .wav file's
but then as i pointed out a few post's ago i have taken to run these unit's up to sp3
which mean's i am running larger then 10meg drive's
also stpcore i truly hope u caught that set of code i realsed today
which is window's regeristy stuff
for pga
i am going to edit it live tonight
and see if my thinking is right where it say's >:no: then the cmd< i am going to remove the >no<...just to see what it will do for me
hey no pain no gain right
if i am right a patch for the dead dongle call is as easy as 2 line's of code
maybe then u can get moving again

hi
a simple cheat way into a running pga
with keyboard and mouse hooked up
once game is loaded and running hit esc key :escape:
the game will pop open a explorer window
>tool's then pause<
u have 30 sec's to look into it
this work's so u can explore the .dir
and c what is there
a little more to come follow along
the full start bar >handy-dutie<

Hi Ed,
Not sure where we are at mate very confused. Previously in post posts u r saying make changes to PGA HD in another PC as per ur walk thru which I am unable to follow past the dongle call. Now it looks like u r wanted us to edit on a live machine??? I will sit tight mate as we all are doing and hopefully all will be revealed. Ha ha ha
Thx Joe

Ed
I am more confused than a virgin on his wedding night!!! Cant wait for this bot to go live!!

okay, there seems to be some confusion regarding this, let me elaborate.
The PGA as it comes from the factory, runs on "Windows XP for Embedded Systems" or "XPE".
Windows XPE is an edition of Windows XP Pro that contains the full feature set of Windows XP Pro, but has restrictions on licensing that require the resulting device to boot directly into the original equipment manufacturer's application. (no software, no desktop. nothing.) The original equipment manufacturer is free to choose only the components needed thereby reducing operating system footprint and also reducing attack area as compared with XP Pro.
in a nutshell, you can completely replace the stripped down XPE (that will only work with the boardset that comes from the factory because that's all they designed it for) with Windows XP Pro, and gain the ability to port the game over to the new hardware.
unfortunately parts of the game are written specifically for the hardware (IE the video card the internet modem etc.). in order for the game to properly access the new hardware, the game needs to be changed. This (in conjunction with other things) is what Ed's trying to do right now.
alright, now that's out of the way,
he's doing it live on his machine in the photo above because it already has been modded with the changes including XP Pro. on the XPE install that comes with the PGA, because there is barely an operating system in there to begin with, so you must load the disk into another computer and make the changes (new videocard or the net play connectivity he's working on) if you wish to keep the XPE setup.
-
Thanks lishawn. I think that most of us are already aware of the XPE situation and that the game needs to be recoded for updated hardware. What I think most of us are waiting for are specifics on how we will be able to do this and unlock courses, players, etc. It was to my understanding that we would be modding the original XPE hard drive to do this (by slaving the HD or editing the Rescue CD...never figured out how to edit the Rescue CD by the way) and that in the future an updated version of XP service pack 3 could be used. It seems that everything is in a state of flux right now and I think some of us are trying to figure out the general direction we are going in. That's where the confusion is.
Ed...are we stopping mods on the original PGA HD so that XP service pack 3 can be used? Are you still planning on allowing access to PGA Bot before the new year? I think most of us are a little unsure of your direction right now and anything you can sort out for us would be greatly appreciated.
With that being said, if I don't get a chance to speak to any of you before hand, please have a VERY MERRY CHRISTMAS and a SAFE AND HAPPY NEW YEAR! I would be bad ass to be having some cocktails and playing everyone for a New Year's Eve online tourney! And Ed, thank you very much for all the time and effort you have put into this project. I can't wait to see it ready and working!

I was going to do some editing on my original PGA hard drive today but when I slave it to my other tower computer the computer won't boot at all. I checked to make sure I had the jumpers in the correct position on both drives and it just won't boot. I recently removed the video card on this tower because it was faulty and now I'm running video from the mother board only. I'm thinking that may be an issue. I'm wondering if it's too much for the current power supply as well? I then tried to boot PGA as the main drive in my old tower computer and it wouldn't boot either. I don't even get a picture as the monitor stays asleep. When I swap the PGA drive with the original computer drive it boots into windows XP no problem. Once I find another old tower that functions I will go in and check out that PGA drive. At this point it seems easy to find the dongle call while slaving the PGA drive but not by exploring the contents of the Rescue CD only.
I was able to explore some of the contents of PGA by clicking on the START button (you have about 1-2 seconds to do this during boot) on the PGA tower but I know we should not be attempting edits within the original tower. So back to trying to find another tower!
-
this all started with simply patching the software to work with new hardware. but since Global has blessed us with their "non-support" they have allowed us to hack up the software as needed.
Unless i'm mistaken, in order to have the additional courses, players etc, you'll have to install XP pro.
Team challange has the "System Recovery Disk' as they label it, is actually just the Win XPE installation. If you install a new harddrive in a system you would have to insert this disk first. once XPE is installed the machine boots and the installation program runs (because it's installed with the XPE and set to load on startup) and asks for the remaining disks. These are the three game disks.
bla bla bla inset the 3 disks and boom, game is setup.
there is also an "Emergency Recovery disk" that is a known good copy of all the windows XPE install files. it copies them all over to the harddrive in case one gets corrupted. (kind of a quick fix) not really the way to do it since this isn't always the case, but better than nothing.
I also have a "USB I/O game card re-initialization disk" which apparently fixes an issue with version 1.2 software where there was 1000's of free credits appearing on the game that can't be cleared off. I never had the issue, so i never installed it.
-
Have you had any luck finding Hercules and editing the call for the dongle from the Rescue CD, lilshawn? I don't see Hercules in there anywhere when I explore the contents of the Rescue but Ed is telling me it's there. Maybe you could elaborate on how I can find it on the Rescue and reburn the Rescue to create a CD that won't call for the dongle? It must be something lost in translation between myself and Ed. Most likely my fault!

Hi all,
What I have done is clone my original PGA team challenge all access pass HD to a larger HD n then put it into a PC running winXP sp3. In explorer I then select the D: drive where the cloned PGA HD is and try to follow eds walk thru to mod the game as per his instructions. There is a folder called Hercules and the donglecall.exe is there. According to eds walking u just need to delete that file. However I can't seem to find anything else in the places he says in his walkthru above such as the video card mod and the modem call, even though my screen shot looks exactly as ed posted. On booting from my PGA clone drive on new winxp sp3 pc there is no dongle call however it stops as it doesn't recognise the video card I have and displays an error.
So this is as far as I have gone.
Any feedback or instructions would be handy? However Ed I feel holds the key to this Lol
N yes merry Christmas

hi
ok i got around to cleaning out my
dropbox
so i now have some room
congrad's spitfire..:):) told u it was not hard
but as i have stated >hercule's< look's for and demand's >nivida<..
it is right in the :hercule's: call
so here is swift walk through
first know your new video card :name: and where the :driver's sit:
do a pointer for hercule's
so for fun we call it sorry..
so in hercule's we >remove< >nivida< and replace it with >sorry<
now we point :hercule's: to where >sorry is< which in your case will be
c:\windows\system32 or u may have to add a line !!!do not remove this line but add this 1 also!!!
c:\windows\system
from there hercules should no longer look for the nivida
the cpu and or ram really does not matter to pga
simple rule's
1=do not use on board video.
use a add in card
2=do use on board lan
3=with sp3 and full driver pk u CAN USE OPTIPAC
u just do some hercule's repointing
no need to edit the winxpe .dll's
hercule's wont even look at them
the pga pkg must be loaded as it is a cluster fuc@
of file's,i will post which disk's to edit if u so please
but i do not think it is nessary anymore
u need there gui interface or u lose game face/player face/etc etc
but they are spread over 3 disk's
as i have pointed out find the >dongel call< in hercule's
i even posted a clear pic of it
and kill the da$ call
it will not even look for it
bing bang boom u no longer have turney disabled call
it will not even care if u have a dongle
1=leave the iso alone
2=leave the serial alone
3=leave the call to the i/o board alone >until u are advanced enough to edit the call<
that 1 apply's to optipac
4=u no longer need the the usb2 porting
5=u can up-grade to dolby5
6=u do need the player's card reader until i finish a tad of code work for the patch
7=it will not to my know work in 7 DO NOT ASK
the code work for the player's card will inculde the operater's card
why i do not know but wtf right
as tommrow is my last work day ?
i will be responding a tad faster
but running the big show and coding is a totaly pain
i have helped,and by no mean's am walking away

this is a terrible picture...and it's also not pga, but the pga was hacked up just the same as this one...
(http://i.imgur.com/MOi7I.jpg)
the PGA computer died it's currently an ultracade machine, so when i get some time, i have another PGA cab in the shop with no monitor...i'll do a hack job on that one to and talk some pics for you all if you're interested. ;D
lilshawn, I'm hacking up my PGA cabinet this weekend (making a pedestal cabinet) and was wondering if you could let me know the type of monitor stand you are using? I'm picking up a 39" LCD and it's only 25lbs. I was going to mount it to the wall but if I have a stand I can move this thing into different rooms or to my garage by removing the LCD and wheeling around the base. Also wondering if you have a recommended cutting angle on the cabinet? Do you like having the speakers mounted to the sides?
Thanks!
-
the base was 1/4 plate steel (for weight) it's about 28"? square (it's as wide as the cabinet squared)
the pole is 4x4" square tube 6 feet long. This stand in particular had the tube welded in the middle of the plate. later versions we welded the tube offset 6 or 8 inches to get the monitor closer to the wall.
we started out using monitor wall mounts bolted to the pole but at $100 a piece it was cheaper to use a chunk of the 1/4" plate welded to the pole to directly bolt the monitor to the pole.
monitor is a standard 42" TV :dunno
the cabinet was cut in a straight line from the control panel down to the bottom of the back panel opening (retaining the wood across the bottom for strength.)
-
Well I can't weld anything so that's gonna be a problem. What is your out of pocket expense for materials? Maybe I can find someone to weld one for me locally?
-
the first few we had made by the company we bought the steel from...all in, i think it was about $150 for the base/pole, then a $100 wall mount. (about $250 total)
we now buy enough materials to build 2 stands (2 plates and 2 poles) for about 120 (i think... it was a while ago now) and weld them ourselves. So basically half the price each.
I imagine you could accomplish the same with a 4x4 pole and a chunk of 3/4 plywood and a can of black paint for about $50
we just use steel cause they are public units. They are going to have drunken people getting knocked around into it.
EDIT: clarified price.

hi
my first was a old it's gamming golden tee complete

dobly 5
still has dba installed
all i needed to do was remove the back,cut,and add about 6"
now rem this WAS a golden t golf
removed the top..easy enough
then cut straight down.and add
np there ..makes a butie of a pedastal
u can do it with a buck hunter also..less work

Good times. I hacked off the top today and it went absolutely fine. I was able to use the upper half of the back of the cabinet to cover top off the back of the pedestal unit. The vent holes where in place and I used some of the vent holes to relocate the speakers. I will post pics in the PGA Owners Thread a little later. Gonna pick up a 39" LCD tonight and mount it to the wall.
Thanks for the pics, lilshawn.

Hi All,
So my graphics card has finally died n looking to install new card such as a GeForce 8400 gs which I have lieing around. I have cloned my all access Pga original harddrive n have it installed on a new pc running winxpsp3 how do I go about editing to allow this card. Tried without luck to follow eds walkthrus.
Hope to hear from someone soon?

Hi Ed,
If ur last reply was for me I am running win xp sp3 and an looking to put in a new card or put a new card into my winxpe original machine and just need some clarification in how to alter Hercules as per ur walkthru to do this? Just can't get it working. What program am I using to view and alter this file and which file exactly am I altering? To many different walkthrus on this thread so I am unsure of right one ha ha
Thx Spitfire
-
hi
spitfire i ran your new card type
hence my reply
u cannot run 64bit card's in winxpe even with sp3
there is a limt as to how far we can push it
but 64 bit is def. not in the card's
if the card is a 32 bit compatiable card
then u willl place the driver's in make sure >window's< will run it
then u can point hercules to the name of the card and where the driver's sit
for sake of sanity place the driver's as a group inside of hercule's also
so where u see hercule's .ini/.cfg pointing toward's nivida
then u see the nivida folder
u repoint the .ini/,cfg to your new >placed in folder with the driver's and proper name<,example here
where hercule's call's in nivida u replace it with sun
then u make a folder call it >sun< and place all of the driver's in there
the olny other way around it is to point hercule's to the driver's in system and system32,which is a long way to go
because u must list each and every .dll/.oxc file so hercule's will know enough to load them.
that's about as clear as i can come

Hi Ed thx for the reply mate I will dig out a 32bit card and use that. One thing I can't find on my cloned PGA HD is the Hercules .ini/.cfg u talk about only Hercules folder with Herculestest and HerculesUI in it and herculesplugin.dll in another folder. I have spent the day looking else where for it but not sure where it is and how to edit. Please direct me to the Hercules .ini/.cfg in ur walkthrus and I'm sure I can handle it from there must have missed it in the thread?
Thx In advance

Hi Ed/Spitfire and All
I hope you all had a good new year celebration. Spitfire I was reading over your last couple of posts regarding the use of a 8400gs card as a replacement card (this card should work ). The 8400gs card has a '64bit Memory Interface Width' which is the bus width of the memory addressing and in no way related to the driver files needed to drive the card. This card will work with 32bit driver files for XP not sure about XPe. ( link http://www.geforce.com/drivers/results/54721 (http://www.geforce.com/drivers/results/54721) ). I would personal rather try use a card with 128bit Memory Interface Width or 256bit even better. The lower the memory bus width the slower the card will perform (generally), it might also use a form of 'hyper memory', which is a polite way of saying it will use some shared system memory. Maybe 8600,8800 or my personal preference 6600GT which I have running in two cabinets trouble free with the original driver files.
Cheers
The-O

hi
ya 6600 is the replecment that gobal rec's.
if the card he want's to run can handle 32bit :the slot:
then it might work
but as the card was built for 7 platform,i highy doubt it will run in xpe
u have to rember xpe is chopped down xp
70% of the window's dependices just are not there
and u will need to repoint hecule's
i did explain a way of doing it,but it is not for the weak of heart
personaly i care less what hercule's want's as i just change it to fit my need's
1 rule to follow and then just about anything goes
the rule is it CANNOT be pcie,even though window's xp will support it as a base program,to get hercule's to understand it would a major headache to say the least
but as i did explain if the op renamed nivida to the new card name
placed all the driver's in the new named folder
there is but olny 2 step's to go
i thought i had posted the code page's ago
will double chk the server in a while

Hi Ed
The PGA cabinets run main boards with AGP slots, yet windows 7 only made its debut after AGP was replaced by PCI-e on most main boards. Thus in my thinking I would say almost any nVidia AGP card should work as they were only coded for XP and some for Vista. I have a cabinet in my garage running a clean install of 'challenge' with a 6600GT PCI-e card in it. Yet when I do a clean install of Team Challenge it hangs at the point before you select how many players. Still trying to figure what is causing it to hang at that point. Will do some more testing with PCI-e cards and post my findings.
Cheers

hi
The-O
that is exactley what i have been saying
i have full slew of dif video cards i can use
as long as i refram from up-dating my mobo to 7 compitable
ie pcie slot
most any other combo will work
the down side is some card's >video< do not give the white just right
it has tear's,and look's a little yellow
your point about the video ram is correct,the more the better up to the lancey point
same as with the mobo ram
to the processer i have used the full gammet up to 64bit
the 64 is in no way going to work
the reason 7 will not work is hercules is dos based
and windows dropped all dos use in 7
they went to what they like to refer to as hyper threading
the i/o card can be replaced with a optipac as long as u have sp3 loaded
as i have explained
u just do some repointing in hercules
if u repoint right u need not worrie about the reg-key's that winxpe put's in per say
also i have removed the turney part >block<
and have put player's card reader out of service by telling the proggie to rember them all,this was a feat but i got it
now on to the plus side here
with sp3 your onboard lan should come alive
so we ditch conxit and it's driver's and in hercule's we place the nessary info for the lan,on a up-dated mobo your sound should be dolby4.5,which with this game sound's great
personaly for pga i shy away from sata drive's
not that u cannot do it,but i just do not trust them yet
the olny other thing to do is
add fan's/and up the power-supply
if u want u can run it dual mode
ie pga and windows? with the click of the mouse go to window's
DO NOT up date past ie7
u can run lcd style monitor's
the game will biatch for a byte byte then settle in
and run on the lcd
so my point in colsing is the option's are there
u just tinker and have no fear if u have the back-up's

Hi Ed,
All very nice to hear mate. But still no pointer on where, which and how to find n edit the Hercules .ini/.cfg file u talk bout in ur walkthrus. It seems by above u need to stick to a PC with an agp slot as I was hoping to scrap my old original PGA PC and upgrade to a core 2 duo running a pci e slot for graphics but if this is too hard just happy to get original up n running with new AGP card. So please help with Hercules file location??

If you want to send me an invite to this folder I will place it in my shared folder as well. I have about 8GB available in my Dropbox right now. You can set the sharing options FROM THE DROPBOX WEBSITE ONLY and not directly from your personal computer folder. Right click the folder and choose to send an invite to any email addresses you wish. If you need my email again just let me know.

Does anyone have any idea as to where I can purchase the long cable that goes from the i/o card and then separates to each individual button and the trackball? I'm also looking for the service menu button that has the audio port that's located behind the coin door. I can't seem to locate them anywhere and I'm wondering if they are obsolete at this point?

I might have a brand new harness. I'll look around and let you know.

all that stuff is discontinued...big time. global threw their hands up in the air when the games where decided to be killed off (EOL) dumped everything. Hell, i heard they wont even give out replacement codes for the ultracade.
the board is just an amplifier. not a big deal... it's basically this: http://www.electronickits.com/kit/complete/ampl/k50.htm (http://www.electronickits.com/kit/complete/ampl/k50.htm)
a service button is just that, a button. nothing special.

Hi Ed. Hope you had a great holiday season.
Will you have time this weekend to start uploading files to Dropbox? It's pretty obvious that some in depth tutorials or completed software patches are going to be needed for most of us to get anything working as you wish. It would be great if you have time to release anything as it seems we have been stuck for several weeks due to busy schedules (me included).
If that isn't gonna happen...no problem...I can start work on another project for now. Just thought I would ask you. Thank you, buddy!

Sorry you have been under the weather. The flu season is upon us and is hitting the Chicagoland area pretty hard this year so I know where you are coming from.
I didn't get a PM from anyone but I will be happy to help if contacted.
Let me know when your Dropbox is up to date and please invite me to the folder. You do have to go to the Dropbox website for folder sharing options as it's not an option to share from your Dropbox program installed on your desktop.
Thanks Ed.

HI
ok this is a little byte that i need ppl to understand :living-it:
if u update to sp3 !which u have to to run optipac!,do not allow
microsoft to take u to ie8
all of the file's i up-load from here on in i will expect u to have
installed sp3..
everyone by now should have coyped out the older harddrive's
and gone to a larger drive,so u can take sp3 easily.
now on to the update part
in window's once u ask it to up-date
tell it coustom
there is some patch's that will mess u up big time
so be carefull
if it fail's gunie advantage..ring me up i will up-load a fix
it should however not fail unless the hd has been changed in the
pga
the way i did the edit's in hercule's
is i put in pointer's ie >> that would be a line u can edit
u will need to do it anyhow because there is just no gerneic gobal-vr
they have gone through 2 of every thing
mobo's
card-reader's
i/o card's
video card's
they even fourced a usb2 on u
and countless rev's
so as u c it is totaly impossiable to make 1 size fit's all
your best bet is to play with the o/s,make it your's
the usa guy's have it lucky >tiger-wood's< is still in there
hidden but there
the patch's are in a non placed order
ie: 1 will be to turn your onboard lan on >none sp3 ppl<
1 will be to enable u to remove the card reader
1 will be to enable u to run without the dongle
1 will be to enable u to load your new video card driver's in propley
these are all written in the main hercule's file
so in short from scratch u would load the new rescue disk it has everything in it
then the rest 1-3
i will get them up onto dropbox
your protocol #'s i will post to u ppl in pm

man do u have a not in your nut??
copy this out
> Hi
here is another byte for u to think about
when in game mode with the keyboard and mouse hooked up
u hit the escape key,and bang u are in window's or u can
if u want use the window's logo key,use the up/down arrow's
go to gvrcolse hit enter,that's a second way into window's
then rehit window's key
then u will scroll up to control panel
then u go to the up arrow >it is in the search bar<
u are now in the root of the drive
ie:
shared documents
cabinet's documents
pga(c:)
3.5 floppy
dvd rom
and your usb stick if u pluged it in..
now u can scroll to the c: drive which should be labled pga(c:)
double click it,u are then in the root of pga
all is open to u,
!side note here!,if u use a usb stick to load file's
and plug it in >in game mode< it will show up for u
after doing the upper step's..
now,in the root of the drive
if u double click on pga(c:)
u will find listed below .dir's
documents and settings
gvr
gvrplus
hercules
nivida

recyler
system volume information
tournament
windows
autoexec.bat

ok now on to some edit's
if u go to gvrplus
u will see the gvrdialup.pbk >delete it<
now in the same file folder
u will see (4) open it
in there u will find key >delete it<
now if u want to stop what u are doing
just hit the windows key,tab up or scrool up to gvrboot
hit enter,the game will auto reboot for u<
it is important for ppl running there game's and or whom want to up-date WITHOUT

One more thing, Ed. Are we back to not having a dongle workaround because removing the call in Hercules as you suggested is not allowing Team Challenge to load (even if you put the dongle back in). Not having much luck unfortunately.
-
One more thing, Ed. Are we back to not having a dongle workaround because removing the call in Hercules as you suggested is not allowing Team Challenge to load (even if you put the dongle back in). Not having much luck unfortunately.
Regarding the dongle kill. I know that originally it was stated that we should be going into PGA and inside the Hercules folder we were to delete the GVRDongleMonitor file in order to kill the dongle verification. Well that has not worked for me. After removing that file the game will not load and if I place the dongle back into the computer it will not load either unless I place the GVRDongleMonitor file back onto the hard drive.
The one thing I do notice when my game is loading is that a window opens up for a couple seconds upon loading and I see that "PatchAgent.exe" runs right before you hear the ball drop in the cup and Team Challenge is loaded and ready to go. I also noticed that the PatchAgent.exe file is in the same Hercules folder that the GVRDongleMonitor file is in. Do you think that if we deleted that file (PatchAgent.exe) or both files (PatchAgent.exe and GVRDongleMonitor) that it may bypass the dongle check? It would be great to get my second Team Challenge computer to run without the dongle as that dongle has been lost for over a year.
Has anyone here been able to bypass the dongle or have a similar experience as mine? I want to get to the end of this issue as it's been driving me crazy for months! ;D

I did a little more research regarding the dongle call. I found something that may be interesting. While in the PGA Team Challenge hard drive folders I went to PGA > pga_tour_golf_2006 > shell > bin and inside the "bin" folder I found two dongle dll files. One of the files is called "Dongle.dll" and the other is "Dongled.dll". Do you think that these dlls may be part of the dongle call verification process upon boot? If we killed the GVRDongleMonitor and PatchAgent.exe files as well as the "Dongle.dll" and "Dongled.dll" do you think that would stop all calls for a dongle verification so the game will be playable?
The thing that makes this interesting was this brief definition of a dll file I found online...
"In a nut shell, a dynamic link library (DLL) is a collection of small programs, which can be called upon when needed by the executable program (EXE) that is running. The DLL lets the executable communicate with a specific device such as a printer or may contain source code to do particular functions."
If the DLL lets the exe communicate with a device (printer) would that mean that it is communicating with the dongle that is plugged into the printer port of our PGA computers? This may be a bit of a reach here but some of it makes sense to me at least. Unfortunately I have no real understanding of computer programming or coding so I thought I would throw this out here to see if someone with a little more knowledge on this subject could tell me if I'm barking up the wrong tree.
Too many of us have broken or lost dongles and it would be great to have these games up and running again!

I tried to swap another hard drive in my PGA tower and it didn't boot so when putting my Team Challenge drive back in I'm getting an error at boot. This window pops up and stays on the screen unless I plug in a mouse and press OK. The error is this...
The file or directory c:\windows\csc\csc1.tmp is corrupt and unreadable. Please run Chkdsk utility
Upon rebooting I can hit the windows key on the keyboard and run Chkdsk but it does not resolve the error message as it's still there upon booting unless I use the mouse to clear the dialogue box. I then tried to go into the folder and delete "csc1" in the temp folder but it seems that the folder gets recreated when the computer restarts and I get the same message. I can't figure out a way to run chkdsk / f as when I try to do that the window doesn't come up showing that it is running. Any ideas on how to clear this error message?
It's annoying stuff like this that makes me not want to tinker with anything!

hi
stpcore
u took out a dependicie or it is has simply been over-written
>The file or directory c:\windows\csc\csc1.tmp is corrupt and unreadable. Please run Chkdsk utility<
it is usally caused by a linker file.
window's is not allowed to show u that link in winxpe as there is no dll to fource it to.
all chkdisk is saying to u it think's the mbr is corrupt,
with it wanting a mouse at boot ?,is this the drive u have been playing with ?
or is it 1 out of a stack of drive's ?..
by all mean's if it a drive that has been running and u were testing with it
then we have narrowed a no/no..one of your post's on hercule's
of the last day
u c if it is the one u put into your unit as a usb drive
was it a cable select or a master/slave style?
this would be the drive u added the new wav file to..
u see i need them answer's first then i can help u
to me it look's like u swapped drive's out ?

I have a Team Challenge drive that I was able to add the music file to without a problem. I made a back up drive of Team Challenge on another hard drive by dragging and dropping the entire contents of the original Team Challenge drive that I had. When I plugged the back up drive in it didn't load at all. So I then put my original Team Challenge drive back in the original PGA tower and have that error when booting. I can clear it by clicking OK and it doesn't come back until I reboot the machine.

hi
stpcore
i went over this
windows is fat32/ntfs
we are fat16 with an ntfs overlay >winxpe<
i do believe the fix is this
go into c:\
then look for windows boot.ini and or boot.cfg
edit it..ie turn the mouse call off,from there it should walk right in
i do believe that is the call,been awhile since i have done a windows .cfg/.ini
but i think i am right
side note here my high speed is down tonight,as a matter of fact all of roger's wired network's are down,this is my stick and it just came back on line
so i will get to posting your test u requsted as soon as my high speed is back up

I did some additional experimenting with the dongle call last night and this is what I found.
Removing GVRDongleMonitor, PatchAgent.exe, or both DVRDongleMonitor and PatchAgent.exe at the same time will still result in a dongle fail screen after you hear the ball fall in the cup on the PGA TEAM CHALLENGE loading screen. However, whenever I removed the "dongle.dll" or "dongled.dll" with or without the GVRDongleMonitor and/or PatchAgent.exe files installed, I did NOT get the dongle fail screen. The TEAM CHALLENGE loading screen comes up, I hear the ball fall in the cup, and then it attempts to load the game but hangs at the TEAM CHALLENGE loading screen. I can hear the hard drive running as if it wants to boot but it stays in a loading loop. So I assume it's either calling for the dongle and waiting for the answer back or it never calls for the dongle but the game is programmed not to load until it gets verification. In any event, I don't get a dongle fail error screen.
I wanted to post this in the event anyone has additional ideas from here. Thanks.

seems this is the best place to ask
trying to bring back a pga
i have pga tour,and pga champ ed 1 dongles
i did a fresh install of pga champ 1 from rescue discs(discs say pga championship 1)
but upon boot i get invalid dongle
(the game screen just says pga championship not champ 1)
i have tried this on 2 motherboards(original pga motherboards not replacments)
and using 2 different pga champ 1 dongles
any ideas
i know the mobo dongle socket is good because i have a pga tour hdd that boots up and plays
but after launching a game it errors out with "dx reports not enough graffix memory"
so if anyone has any pga tour install disck uploaded somewhere let me know or an idea why a champ 1 dongle reports invalid on a champ 1 install

yea i have several nitric cards (all the ones i have left are the madden style but they work with pga just fine(also have a jamma conversion card for pga/madden as well)
found it finally its under integrated peripherals pwr loss resume state lol
i have gone thrue so many of the pga games its not even funny (all the golden tee customers instantly switch to wanting a pga when they see one running lol)
think i still have 2 or 3 cases ,and mabey 2 mobos left (with bad caps),as well as a couple of the newer madden mobo with sata (but still same chipset)
and the nitric / i/o boards listed above
i always end up with 1 or 2 broken ones for 50-100$ at every auction i go to.(think i came home with 3 last auction)
most either have the neck board of the 9200 fallen off or a bad gfx card (the few with bad caps on the mobo make great mame cabs lol)
and are a easy sell for 600-800$ once repaired
then all the local route guys are blowing out all theirs for around 300$ each fully working (or with gffx card problems)
im almost at a full set of install discs
just need championship 2
team challenge
and the original pga tour
just finished cramming everything into the golden tee cabinet
just need to go get some speakers (may just use one of the madden sound boards i have here)
and mount everything in place and its done
2 pga challenge's in 2 days
im doing pretty good

ok for them of us that want to find out why killing a few simple cmd's will not kill the dongle call,last night was the prelude
in this upload u will find the complete .dis of gvrmonitor.exe,there is breif
exp.in there for u to read,it is missing 1 of the dis's as i hit enter to fast so i will need to go get it,then upload it
they are in order of there structure..they may all look the same but they are not
the file aclloaction table :start-stop: break point's i will upload next,the reason for this if u go to that table,and know how to 0000000 it then it will default to 000000
meaning no key needed.:):)
now that not with standing it could mean it want's ffffff or 333333 it depend's

the next set of tear down's will be win32api.dll,+ the other one's i posted the other night

Not sure if anyone cares but I was able to use the RECOVERY DISK for "Challenge" to install "Team Challenge" on a tower today. This may be useful if you have a recovery disk for an older version of a PGA but doesn't match the version of install disks that you have. I'm not sure if all the recovery disks will work with any set of installation disks as it seems the operating system is the main component of the recovery but the Challenge recovery disk will work with the Team Challenge install disks.
-
hi
yes stpcore
it should do that
RECOVERY DISK . all this dose is prepair the hardrive :parition: for the next :game-load's:,it is a perty much a 1 size fit's all thing,olny place's hercule's as the c:\root
and from there deriects traffic as it were,once u load in game disk 1 u are then on your way to the game it will be,so 1-2-3 and 4 if needed will make your game.
rescue is just that ..recover's the lost info.dat that is made at start
this is what u will find at the root of any running pga :info.dat:
that is the recovery point,much like we can rool window's back to a dif date/time >point<,
now onto more pressing matter's
the linker's i spoke of go to (reg) value's,for them of u not knowing that term
it mean's >h-key's<,window's define's h-key's as a register value.
now with that in hand i will whip up a test script to c if we can kill it on running machine's,with a simple load through usb thumb drive and a reboot.
if i am right we would shut down the putter in question,plug in usb drive,reboot
now i have some thinking to do as to how to mount it..
as a simple delete will not do the trick ?
the :value: must be changed
it might be easy just to post the rewrite and the once u edit the >h-key'<,u would remove the dongle and reboot..that seem's easier to me
let me test here
just for your ppl's know,yes i am better..it broke..doc said go away i got ppl to see
2 thumb's up for ed
dirt i am in the warehouse in the am will post to u
side note here this thread may get moved to reto..and i am good with it
as we are 22 pages deep with 1 of the highest count's of read's and d/l's that's not to shaby,from simple call for help..nor can i count the number of pga's running now because of u fine ppl

Hi all,
Has anyone been able to use the rescue disk in the Dropbox as I have been unable to get it to work and my friends PGA has a corrupt file any help would be great?
Thx Spitfire
-
Spitfire,
I can upload another Rescue Disk for you today if need be. Let me know and I will place it in Dropbox for you.
-
It sounds like you are just about there, Ed. A USB download would be perfect for most of us unless you think that an HKEY edit will be easier for you to compile. Please keep us posted on your progress as it sounds like you may have this figured out.
Glad you are feeling better. It's a nasty flu season for sure.
One last question...are we still a go with the server for online tournament play? I have my dedicated computer ready to help you.

It seems like you aren't having ANY luck lately, man! Do you want me to take a picture of my cable for you?
Just out of curiosity, what do you plan on doing with the topper? Mine just ran advertising about Betabrite and showed failed dial up calls. It drove me nuts and I took it down. I would love to code into it so that it scrolls text that I enter. Do you know anything about accomplishing that, Spitfire?

That would be awesome to be able to scroll what ever we want on the header.

Hi Ed,
The cable isn't to rj45 my topper has a 6pin rj11 plug so wrong there mate.
My cousins topper has been programmed to show player stats throughout the game it great. Hoping to make my machine do the same.
Ed would be nice to get some of these game Goodies unlocked such as players, game face items etc any idea when u might show us how? 22 pages on this thread n not one post showing how to make something actually work ha ha ha

I thought you needed some custom software and some reverse engineering to reprogram these things. If they could display stats that would be AWESOME!!! Someone please steer me in the proper direction and I will to some testing. I picked up three of these today along with some other NOS PGA and Golden Tee stuff and I'm ready to tinker a bit!

Hey Spitfire...I plugged in one of my Betabrite LED toppers into my Team Challenge into the serial / com1 port and when the game fires up ALL STATS ARE DISPLAYED! This was a nice suprise! So you should be good to go once you get the correct adapter.

Hi STP,
Great mate glad to see it worked for you. Hey Ed sorry for upsetting u mate just having a laugh. Take ur time we ain't going anywhere. However I know the real reason u haven't got the online server working. It's because you don't want to get ur arse whipped by us Aussies ha ha.

Hi all,
Still having trouble getting the recovery disk to work. I know Ed u said to make it bootable but to do this you need diskette images which I can download and add to the cd. However which one should I use as win xpe isn't an option should I use win xp sp2. Please advise of what needs to be done?
Thx Spitfire
-
hi
spitfire sp2 or 3 is fine
as windows is window's
and the rescue disk is basic
if u make the cd bootale
it should boot first
right after the bios chk
and run in
as stpcore stated and i have also said the rescue disk is just that
disk1,2,3 are your game disk's
ed
-
Hi Ed,
Thx mate will try that. Do disks 1 2 n3 have to be made bootable aswell or can they be burned to cd as in the Dropbox?
Thx Spitfire
-
he means make the CD bootable as in go into the BOIS and change the boot order to something like :
1:) CD ROM
2:) FLOPPY
3:) HARD DISK
usually to shave a few seconds form the boot up time...and to keep from people screwing up their computers by leaving a CD in the drive... the order is something along the lines of:
1:) HARD DISK
2:) CD ROM
3:) FLOPPY
this means that even if you wanted to you can't boot off the CD. so you have to change it.
-
Hi lilshawn,
Thx for the reply but no that's not what Ed means. To make a disk bootable you need to place a bootable .img file on the cd tht contains the rescue files from the operating system u r running otherwise the cd will not be seen by ur PC even if u have chaned the bios as u suggested.
Thx Spitfire
-
hi
if there the full .img
then they should walk right in
1 then 2 then 3
and the game should bark at u what it want's
ed

so now we can kick this sucker into high gear
ed
-
;D wahooooo
Thanks Ed!
-
Spitfire, this info is for you!
What you want to do is make a bootable usb stick with HP USB Format tool. Version 2.1.8 is the one that I use. Once the stick is bootable copy the contents of the rescue disk folder to the bootable USB stick. Go into your bios and set up the boot from USB device option. Once booted into the flash stick, at the dos prompt, type PQIMGCTR.EXE. This will bring up the Powerquest image restore window. Chose RESTORE. Point Powerquest back to your flash stick for the image file called PGAH0018 image. Then follow the prompts. I have found that restoring the image to SATA drives tends to fail. I restore to a IDE drive 20 or 40 gig then when everything is loaded I use Acronis true image and clone the disc to a SATA drive and all work 100%. p.s Not sure if the old original DFI boards can boot from USB, but all my newer PT800 MSI boards work well with this method. Hope this helps you.
Cheers,
The-O
-
hi
the-o
yes that is a work around
but it all depend's on the bios..if it will support older board's
which most of the oringal's do not allow for usb boot...suck's i know...
my up-date's which are now proffed are for usb loading
to get to it u must have a running game,
i am leaning toward's a cd :bootable of course:..
just the legacey ppl are left to cd or floppy.
the reg patch's are not that big,nor is the update's
u would look at a dvd or cdrw and go why ? am i wasting this much space
i do.,but it is the nature of the beast
the other work around that can be done
is to have the box on line..full internet
and lock into pga bot and request a reboot..>working on it now<
it will load fully
in simple term's the older board's support >lan-boot<
so u see where a few problem's come in??
u will need the full set of sp's i have zipped
and am ready to up-load into dropbox
with a >RUNNING GAME< u will place them in system32/system
DO NOT TINKER WITH THE DLL'S unless u ask me as PGA-BOT IS HARD CODED IN
from loading them u will then reboot same said game
it should not bark at u for up-date >expect for ie8<...DO NOT LOAD IT,CLICK ASK ME LATER..i will kill the call..it is on my list of crap to do
the overhead marques if not tinkered with WILL display your game info
if tinkered with :location info/player info it will display that:.to clear the nvram
short 2 pin's to ground..biteright used a few dif nvram's
i will list the dif's,but it is 2 pin's to ground
to clear the nvram
to program it
in a running game with the keyboard go to operater's adjument's/option's/adveristing,adjust from there
THIS WILL NOT WORK ON VERISON-4 DONGLE as it is turney turned off
>btw my fave biatch<
in short the moment u see turrney not enabled u are locked out of the sign until u clear the nvram
to mount the game is simple
u can set the cdrom as lilshawn posted
and or i posted
same ---steaming pile of meadow muffin--- dif stack
but get's u there just the same
the point is to get there

Does anyone have a set of drivers for the card reader? My card is recognized by the computer (verified this in Device Manager) but displays the "NO CARD READER" error upon boot. I don't want to kill it but would like to use it as it is the only way to create and save a golfer that I am aware of up to now.
Ed, are we going to need the operator cards or players cards after your updates? For example, will we be able to create a golfer and save him to a hard drive or will we still need the card reader to create and save custom golfers?
-
hi
stpcore
i hard coded most of it in..in short the reader is used olny to :alter: the profile of the player,skin's,name's/etc
we can add the fuction in the control panel..if demand is there..but this is opten to debate.
your card reader should read
hook to the main usb port of the mobo
DO NOT WORRIE ABOUT THE LIGHT'S they mean nothing
if u have a player's card? and or a operater's card it should come as such
if not 99.9% of the time the driver's have been kicked out
this is because u swapped out reader's from a dif mfg..or u had a bad 1 wich kicked out the driver's.disk 1/3 hold the driver's..1 is reg the other is the main driver
with the walk through i expalined how to get to c:\.
u can then go to :pga:
from there go to windows system/system32
look for the proper .dll's/ocx's
if not there,reload them
as i explained chk the 12v and or 5volt rails
if they are out the reader will drop
in pga there should be a aux power supply
this hook's to the coin door/digital bill acepter >dba< ,it must be there
or u are basilcy screwed from the start
DO NOT USE THE PUTTER'S P.S for this
ed
-
So if my coin door is not running then the card reader won't function? I don't understand how it's tied into an external power supply as my card reader only has a USB connection that goes to my computer. I sorry I don't follow what you are telling me as I'm only trying to get the card reader to function. In addition, my card readers don't have ANY lights on the actual fixture. The entire enclosure is a solid black plastic probably from a Championship III or similar version.

hi

hi
ok i have had it with dropbox
it wanted 55 min's to up-load a 200k file ? freg that crap
here is a walk through,this will run u straight up to sp3
get any fresh windows xp box by fresh i mean with NO other running program's in it
expect window's xp..not a tall order
next we plug in a usb stick,again not a tall order
next we copy c:\window's\system >complete< name it as such so u do not get confused,
next we copy c:\window's\system32 >complete< name as such
so now u have to file's on your usb stick system and system32
now we plug stick into back of pga machine,
and as per my insturction's on how to bust the pga into window's
we go look for the usb stick it should show up as e:\
open it
copy e:\system to c:\window's\system,same apply's for system32 so c:\window's\system32
remove stick
colse out windows session as per my insturction's..
reboot pga,bing bang boom u are going to get a screen that say's it want's to load in 97 update's,tell it no not at this time,then go to window's update through ie set to ASK and COUSTOM,so u can pick and chose..DO NOT DOWNLOAD IE8 OR U WILL MESS THE PGA UP BUT GOOD,now BEFORE U DO ANY OF THIS COPY YOUR CURRENT PGA.IMG TO A CDROM,so u have it as back-up
now with this in hand u have a box,that once u follow the upper step's will report back to
window's sp3..u are now running all current window's dll's expect a few,that we can add at will,to chk your system bust down to window's as i explained,open control panel,go to system,double click system
your 2002 should be gone and replaced with verision 2010
sp3
your key should not have changed,if it did all is not lost,i can send u market-relm
it is a key changer
if u did the proper step's as i out linded and did not become a hero..u can now fully play with the pga..enjoy
and btw i fuc#king hate dropbox

Hi Stp,
My card reader is just plugged into a USB point at the back of PC which supply's the 5v it needs to run. Should be a simple plug n play on team challenge machine. I do have a dedicated 4 port USB card on my pc which it plugs into not the motherboard USB points. There is also a card reader test in the actual game settings which u can try to see if that helps.
Thx Spitfire

Same thing with my card reader but I have 2 USB ports toward the top and 2 on the bottom. I've tried each port. It doesn't do anything during the card reader test either as I tried that originally. So I'm hoping that the drivers need to be reinstalled as Ed is suggesting.
Also, I think that the USB loading that Ed has posted above is simply getting a running PGA on XP SP 3 so that when it hooks into the bot or he gives us additional code everything else will be unlocked. I don't see how this could unlock anything as is.
-
hi
i shot a e-mail off to the @ in question
once i get the name again i will open an account
and we can run with it
the fact both card reader's not working in the pga but in normal window's lead's me to believe that the driver's have been kicked out,the 4 port usb board
is for usb 2,this olny allow's to increase the speed of the usb crap
as the mobo's in these box's are all usb1,the 2 make's it that much more robust
but for pga's running 512k ram,it really dose not matter
u would never knotice the lag..unless u are doing speed chk's?,and at that point i would have to say 1.7gig micro and 512k ram..wtf are u thinking?
so in short u CAN ditch the usb2 card and go back to the native usb1
rember the i/o plug's into 1 of the usb1 port's
it can be lopped back into the usb2 port but then again i go why are u strapping driver's into this box u do not require ? myself on the other hand open the resource's of the box up,pull the dial-up modem..dam that is hound
keep the audio board OFF board,free it up even more

also i will put market-relm up there for good mesaure
if a exe is needed i will need to know
NOW once u get the file's d/l they are zipped

hi
very good spitfire u got a clone :):)
now u have no fear's mate
the dll's will cause no damage as they are all navite window's xp spk3
the olny dif now is when u use your pga to go on line it will be a ---steaming pile of meadow muffin--- load easier
+ u can go get hk-patch's
which u cannot do right now
and also u can now kill resource's at will
handy when u want to do edit's and such
plus u can run if need scan's to chk for maleware and such nastie's
which u cannot do with xpe
NOW it did dawn on me gvr is going to be the file we need to edit the most
i will whip up a walk through and patch for u ppl once mediafile is running right
the reason for this is hercule's and gvr work toghter hand in hand as it is,
so to put it simple if we kill a cmd in hercule's we need to kill it in gvr
as the system run's on gvr
to prove it
bust to window's
u will see the left hand scroll bar
colse gvr
open gvr
that stand's for gobal vr,
which btw has a stupied set of encoded 3d file's.
so u never get to see the mpeg's etc
which we are about to fix,as that .co in question will not play in my sandbox with me

yes there is a filter you can enable and disable. If you typed "B 4" (without the space) instead of "before" in your post it gets changed to "bingo!" and "s--t" (the poop expletive) gets changed to "meadow muffin" things like that.
you can go into your profile "look and layout" and set the "leave words uncensored" to on and your post appears normal. (by default it's censored)
sorry it's a little funny seeing people freak out about it getting changed since your posts appear normal to me, and i'm like "wut?!" ;D
don't worry, it's happened a few times that iv'e seen now. your posts are going through just fine.

Thanks. Ed said he had the drivers but I haven't heard back from him in a while. Don't even know where they are supposed to go and I don't feel like reinstalling if I don't have to.
Seems like we are derailed here again. Every time it seems we are gaining momentum we stall out! We need Ed to go on strike with his full time job for about a week so we can just get this done and over with once and for all. What do you say, Ed?

I really don't have any idea what this all means. :dunno
I wasn't attacking you, Ed. If this process is so easy why is it so difficult for us to be able to participate?. I know you are volunteering time for this project and we are all appreciative of that but when expectations are set, people (including myself) start to count on those expectations.
Im not trying to come off as rude, impatient, or ungrateful here but online play, character and course unlock, along with the dongle bypass have been sticking points for all of us for months with no real end in sight as far as I can tell. I can't speak for anyone but myself but the reason I keep asking you about these things is simple...because you said you've done it...and we will be able to as well. When you tell me that its easy, it gets me eager to move forward. I've read this entire thread countless times and the progression stops and switches direction almost every time we are on the cusp of something major.
If you are just stuck for some reason...just say it as Im sure we could all understand. I'm thinking that buying the damn All Access would be easier at this point (hahaha!),
I've received a lot of help from this forum and I've tried to offer help here and in additional threads in any way that I could. If ultimately we stay at a standstill with PGA then that's OK. I can honestly say that I've made some friends here (especially you) and Im happy for that. If we get a chance to play each other online, unlock a course/player or two, awesome! I would only ask that you set realistic expectations so that I'm not disappointed at the conclusion of this very long endeavor.

Hi All,
Just back from our Australia Day long weekend holiday and glad to see not much has changed. Ha ha ha ha oh well thx for the laugh anyway. I hope it gets back on track in the near future.

So is this the end here? Anyone else wanting to try to move forward?
-
hi
i am here
just had a few bad week's with the boss >biatch<
so mind my temper
button pushing right now is not a good idea
take the drift from the point
99% of the code is done and proffed
U PPL WILL BE UPDATED AS I GO
EASY AS THAT,relax play your game's

The beast has awoken! Ha ha sounds good to me Ed ill be playing away waiting for ur next update.
Cheers mate

hi
spitefire it is
i just chatted him today on the phone
he asked me why i did not answer to his service call request's?
i replyed u do not come in on wed's and tell 2 ppl they have until tuesday off
then turn around and expect them to do call's...some thing is wrong with that math
his reply was there is no budget for 2 ppl
my reply was simple..i will stand down,let the other 1 do the job
he went what do u mean?
i repeated my-self,then i added
it will just cost u double is all
make's no never mind to me:):)
now u know where my head has been at
the other proffer got back to me last night
i should have 100% lock and load code tonight or in the am..what ever his hour's are?
now rember i told u ppl make a .img of your running pga harddrive as a back-up
that is very very important
as this code over right's the full thing....
once loaded it will WILL hick-up and burb once
this is because we are running legacey board's
that was a hurdel to walk around
here is what is in the code
window's xp sp3
opti controller u can toss the other i/o board
u can toss the dial up modem >it will not look at it<
u can connect your on board lan
u no longer have fear of TROGAN'S/MALWARE..DO NOT ASK HOW I DID IT I WILL NOT RESPOND >PERIOD<
u no longer need the player's card,if u up-date..it's hard coded in to SAVE
IT will AUTO HOOK TO ME,WITH AN ASSINGED AND SECURE CODE..DO NOT TRY TO HACK IT OR IT WILL SHUT DOWN
for u ppl to know PGA BOT HAS BEEN ON LINE LONG BEFORE X-MASS
i was just working detail's out with ROGER'S my isp provider
and testing with the other coder's
i will follow up with more
ed
-
Hi Ed,
All sounds good mate. Just to clarify by .img u mean clone the PGA harddrive is that correct?
If so this I have already done but nothing more.
Thx
-
hi
spitfire that is 100% correct
u now have a back-up
the new s/w can and will like to be run from a usb stick
ie: u plug in the usb stick to the pga, game in q
power-game down/re-power game/break into BIOS-SETUP
FIRST BOOT DEVICE :>OTHER<:/save
if your board is of newer gen?
it will see it then USE USB AS FIRST BOOT DEVICE.
if not u may need to spec it.
IF NOT IT IS A OLDER GEN BOARD ? this is where the code tie up is
I AM TESTING THIS IN THE AM..I WANT THIS SEEMLESS
IE LOCK AND LOAD GO PLAY..
to recap i olny have a few kink's to get over
player's/read-card player's once or not at-all >for info olny<,as the new code will not even look for the reader after first load,ie u load code re-boot,it will seek all out board device's,load into it's ref libary the stuff from let's say card reader
then on second boot it will no longer look for it
it is all in a .lib file
WINDOW'S XP SP3 no INDEXING IS ALLOWED
if u need to change the video card
u no longer need to point gvr/hercules
niftie little up-date >olny took 2 year's< thk-u un-named..that's the coder btw
the second it load's up
u will see it search for a server >LEAVE IT ALONE<
it will tie to >PGA-BOT<
this is all in a 8gig usb stick
it will self extract
let me dust some garbage up
and away we go
ed
-
Ed, will everyone have to be playing Team Challenge to tie into the bot? For instance, if someone is running Challenge and not Team Challenge will they need to find a dongle and upgrade to Team Challenge? Also, will there be additional courses and players or is this for online tournament play? Thank you.
-
hi
any challange can get in and share
it of course must be :gobal-vr:
but aside from that there good
a little up-date
i found a hole in the code
so i sent it back to un-named with the patch
to be tech
the hole would allow for maleware/trogan's
it came in under a > h-key value<
so as i said i sent it back for a patch with the re-write code
this should not take long
ed
-
hi
i did forget to add this part in my last few post's
WITH THE NEW CODE U NO LONGER NEED THE DONGLE
as it was used for CID/RID i got rid of it
let me get this hole patched up
ed
-
Sounds good. What about players/courses? Anything unlocked or using stock players/courses for now?
-
I need a suggestion, Ed. I have someone that I can grab some Dell Optiplex computers off of at a reasonable price. Would you think these would be OK to run PGA? They are the GX260 and GX280. I remember someone using an Optiplex to run PGA in this thread but there was only a sound issue. Just wondering what you thought? I want to get myself and my brother online and playing some PGA as soon as you say it's a go.
-
hi
first off i would not buy a mother board...
i have them given to me.
so i am in dif mind set,
but as i have been saying the code is sp3
so it will find it and want to up-date the register
that was a biatch btw
if u know the >h-key-value< it want's to tinker with i will need to set it
as a allowed value
or u can do it your self /start/control-panel/my-coumpter/add remove device's
then click the drop down list,stop at audio driver
let it get the file DO NOT ALLOW IT TO AUTO LOAD,save to desktop
SCAN make sure it is clean,
then/start/my-coumpter/adm/ there is a wack of drop down's
look for register..H-KEY'S:
make a back-up of the register
save it to usb
very important info there
THEN IF IT PASSES THE TEST
LOAD IT IN
the reason for this is ppl will and do grab file's :dll'd/oxc's/.exe's from just about any site ,which is very bad...
let me process your code
and a q here did u pull it from driver's ? or the mfg's site ?
from driver's it will not pass..it is on the HARD CODED BLACK LIST
i will tinker with this last peace of code
and then let's kick that aussie's azz
as u ppl should now have all your answer's
ed
-
Ed, will there be any additional players/courses once tied in to PGA bot? Glad you figured out the dongle.
-
Ready n waiting for ur go ahead instructions mate can't wait for us Aussie's to whip u yanks in yet another sport ha ha ha
-
stpcore
if a up-date is needed i will see to it that un-named add's it
all course's are in there
even on line golf..why it was added is beyound me?? :banghead:
spitfire
u about to get a ass kicking
e-me would help u here
with the number of game's u want to >host<

PEOPLE PLEASE REMBER THE BOT, NOR I WILL SUPPORT ON LINE GAME GAMBLING
the bot will HOOF YOUR ASS AND BAN YOUR IP

If we can get all of this going I would be happy to launch and host a website for all of us tournament players. We can hold scheduled tournaments and keep track of a leader board. That would be good times. It would be fun to be playing 72 rounds of golf on the same course during the same time the PGA is hosting tournaments all year round.
-
hi
i am by no mean's beening slow
i am waiting for un-named
the problem was expained to u in very clear term's
>h-key-value<
as i am not willing to or will hand out this .exe file
what u ppl get is the self loader
but every time i find a fault i have to send it back with the patch
u ppl pick which way u want it
like shot on line ?
or do u want it seem less?
the server is not the problem pre say
if u have un-limted bandwith >static<
i will send u the nessary info
ed

What is "shot on line" Ed?

hi
stpcore
it is a on line golf game
no where as good as pga
but it is there
live link > www.shotonline.com (http://www.shotonline.com) <
it is soooooo full of gui's and crap etc
but be my quest chk them out
i just took a buddie of mine from xp to 7 so he could run it better

Sorry I havent been here for awhile. I had a death in the family and have been dealing with that. Are we close to being able to play each other? Have you shipped my tower yet Ed? Also pm me to let me know how much I owe you for the repair and return shipping. Hope to play you guys real soon!

Does anyone know how tournament play on PGA works? I've never played PGA in an arcade or bar setting and was wondering how it works online. Does everyone play tournaments simutaneously or does a tournament stay open until all players complete their round? How are the leaderboards updated and how do you send invites to play? Any details would be appreciated!
Dirt, sorry to hear about the death in your family. I wish you and your family well. I hope you get your tower back soon.

Hi Ed, please let me know If u got my emails mate and if that's the info you needed.

Hi STP
I'm the wrong guy to ask as I know as much as u. Ed the man that can answer all our questions.
I was just replying to his post back up the page where he asked me to email him the number of games I want to host? Not to sure exactly what that meant n just wanted to know if what i sent him made sense???
I'm sure all our questions Ed will answer soon. Till then let just keep playing and enjoy.
Thx
-
Spitfire, are you running the server to host games or is Ed?
Ed, do you still need me to have a dedicated computer running 24/7 as you suggested a while back? How far out are we at this point?
Thanks guys.
-
Hi STP,
No server here mate think ed is running. Again only tried answer his question from other post. Just sit back relax n wait for the only man who can answer these questions n that's ED lol. I have heaps of projects going so I'm right to wait but can't wait to play u all would be great!!
Also does anyone have a spare PGA led 9pin cable to rj11 for
My led topper as I can't source any here in oz n the one from eBay not giving me any results? Of course happy to pay to get it to me.
Thx Spitfire
-
post a few pics of the cable (particularly the disassembled 9 pin end) perhaps you just have a wire in the wrong spot.
-
It's a complete cable not one u can disassemble. Getting 3 beeps when pc starts like its not plugged in??? If anyone as original PGA cable would love to buy from them.
Thx Spitfire
-
weird, mine has one of these on it:
(http://www.networktechinc.com/nti/images/items/db9-hood-shld.jpg)
perhaps there are multiple versions of the sign that require different cables?
you could meter out the pins and see where they go. I can tell you if the cable is wrong/different to the one i have.
-
Hi lilshawn,
Mine is a non pga chinese knockoff off that cable which is why I think its not working. Looking for an original pga that has exactly what you have pictured as I cant source one anywhere in Australia?
Thx Spitfire
-
since i can disassemble mine, i could make one up for you to match mine and send it to you if you like. (only cost of shipping from canada to australia.)
-
Hi lilshawn,
That would be awesome mate let me know what the cost is n ill send it to u ur preferred way.
Can you tell me what ur led topper displays while playing a game? My cousins displays stats etc. while a mate only has PGA advertising showing. What does urs show? As I would love to get mine displaying stats.
Thx Spitfire

to be honest, I haven't had the display hooked up to the machine for years. It got removed due to a roof height restriction in the first location it went to...it never made it back on after that.
I would guess it depends what version software is running as well as the last bit of info that was in the computer to be sent to the display from IT.
i imagine once ed gets everything all set up and you start playing tournaments with it would start to display stats.
PM me your mailing address and i'll do an estimate of shipping from my place to yours.

Hi Ed. Haven't heard from you in a while and just checking in on the status of PGA. I have three PGA towers that I am on the fence about purchasing depending on your release time frame for your updated PGA compatibility. I don't want to lose the towers if you are still a ways out but at the same time I don't want to make an unnecessary purchase if you are close. Can you give me a little direction either way? Thanks!
-
Anyone here receive any word from Ed about the PGA software? I am supposed to buy three PGA towers this weekend but one of them is missing a dongle! I don't want to buy it if I can't play it, lol!
Ed, if you are there please check in if you have a spare moment. Thanks.

last I heard he was giving his boss the whatfor and throwing in the towel on him.
he may be out for a bit while he gets sorted.
STPCORE
unless you can get a REALLY good deal on them, consider passing on them. as it stands we are currently looking at running PGA on a completely different machine without using any of the original hardware. (dongle included) right now, it makes no sense to buy up obsolete hardware when "fixing" the game ("breaking" the game) has already been done.
if you feel more comfotable with original hardware and using the original disk sets, then by all means go for it, but if you can stand to hack a bit, there is no need for any of the original hardware.
it comes down to how global VR setup the program to work with only their hardware. it was an attempt at monopolizing the replacement hardware market for the systems so they can "justify" selling a $20 videocard to people for $300. (no joke)
-
I hear what you are saying, lilshawn. That's what I am thinking as well. I'm just trying to get a ballpark estimate on when everything will be ready for download/install. If its gonna be another 3 months or more then I want to grab those towers. If its a matter of days or weeks then I would prefer to wait. Hopefully Ed can give us some clarification or estimated release time frame. Thanks!

Hi
I'm new to the forum and hoping someone can help.
I have a UK PGA tour machine with championship 2.1 CDs and dongle.
The problem I'm experiencing is that I replaced the faulty video card (Ti4200) for a Nvidia 6600 and started the install with the recovery disc but after the reboot I receive a blue windows screen.
I've searched the thread but can't seem to find the solution.
-
you must use the original card, or hack the software to use a different card. you can't just swap for a different card. there are no drivers in the box to use a new card.
a fix is currently in the works here:

Thank you for the quick reply. Do you know if any replacement Nvidia 4200Ti will work?

Thank you for the quick reply. Do you know if any replacement Nvidia 4200Ti will work?
I've used multiple TI4200 cards without a problem. I prefer the 128mb cards versus the 64mb cards if you have a choice.

gobalvr gave me all of the okie dokie's i need
as they know my plan's...>realse< as freeware without the dongle,and confimed video-card,and a step up to xp-sp3 insted of limted xpe driver-set's,and a swap to
opti-card so we can ditch the i/o card.
all they wanted was for me to give them the okie dokie to up-load to there ftp
so other ppl can get it..simple is simple get's
unnamed got back to me
the nick is in the tidy up-process...!!!! i asked him wtf was taken solw long?..!!!!

u will NOT FIND YOUR FIX IN ANY OF THE DISK'S,I HAVE POSTED ON THIS OVER 100 TIME'S,u are working with winxp>e< >embedded,it mean's they picked and chose there driver's at will,win98/xp and server 2000
to add the driver's willy nilly into window's system/system32 will not work worth a ---steaming pile of meadow muffin---,as u need to repoint the main SET OF .BAT FILE'S...HERCULES AND GVR
this take's editing skill's.....
unnamed told me to expect the patch at the start of the week
that is the best i can say to that

Ed ur alive mate so glad to see n glad u sorted out that ---tallywhacker--- of a boss.
Nice to hear we r not to far away it seems can't wait for this to finally become reality.
With regards to the betabrite file on STPs thread I have downloaded it and was wondering where on the PGA HD do I place this?? Will this solve my problem of not getting any game data on my led topper and my PGA not seeing it in the diagnostic test or do I need an actual proper cable that lilshawn is sending me?

ed
Ed, I don't need the betabrite files actually (I think that was more recently Spitfire). I have been asking you and the rest of the community for the card reader files in a pretty direct fashion over the past several weeks without "beating around the bush" but have had no luck. If anyone has those and can help please let me know. My card reader isn't reading cards.
-
hi
sorry stpcore
i mis read it,i thought u were asking for ledbrite
i will dig out the reader file's for u
there is 3 type's used
i will need to know which 1 u have
unless u want all three ?
there is serveal part's to them
in most case's it is not the reader but rather the i/o card and or the sub aux supply that goe's south,what i do to test the reader is tie it into a xp box,in your case it may need to download the driver's :no-biggie:,then u tie it into your usb port
and u can test it,the test is simple..a white card >stiff white thin cardboard,like bristle board cut to a credit size card<,u insert and remove card to see if the opto's are working..if they are then u know u have a fubar i/o card :most common: and or the sub supply is not plugged into the i/o,and or it is dead
give me a few i will dig up what i have and up-load them
ed
-
That would be outstanding, Ed. The model I have is the XICO 7101USB (it does not have any LED lights).
When I plug it into a computer running XP I get a message that new hardware was found and that the device is installed and ready to use. This is happening with 2 card readers and one of them is NOS.
-
hi
ya 7101 is the most common 1 used
it should be plugged into a usb 1 port or a >powered usb hub< best
if window's xpsp3 picked it up
bet's are it is a good reader and just need's cleanning
do the white card test i talked about
i need to chat them again at xico and get there test s/w :again:
they do not list it on there site
the file's u are after are all reg file's written in c++
they are called in with the i/o card,it is a 4 part file where
1 piece is kept in the atmel chip on the reader,then another piece is kept on the onboard flash of the reader,gobal coustom s/w,the other piece's are c++ reg file's
kept in a cab file
1 is on disk 1 the other on disk 4 >3< if u are running under rev :4:
the i/o card olny carry's the hexcsum for the reader and it dose crap out
i will do another dump of the flash for u,
the at89c2051 is atmel's replacement for there 40 pin dip
carry's the EXACT same .ins set
the bugger u want a dump of if u are going to fix/or recode these thing's is the u4a chip,label mo1002/s808722...cy7c63001apc
no 7101 dose not have light's 7102+ dose
i will attach a pdf of the reader's code set
ed

hi
another piece
ed

Thanks Ed. Not sure if it needs to be cleaned because when PGA boots up I get the error message. When I go into the PGA computer I can see the card in Device Manager so not sure what to do next.
-
hi
u have a bad hexcsum in the main file's
>>gobalvr<<
a few q's are in order here
was this a copyed h/d ?
was it a used h/d ?
is it the orignal h/d to the game ?
if a copy ? did u propley prepare it ?
these are q's i need the answer's to
i know it sound's long but there is a reason for my madness,follow along for now
attached is the cypress chip set
ed
-
This is the original Team Challenge HD that came in the original PGA tower.
-
hi
ok that answer's alot
did u re-load it ?
if so with the orignal s/w ? >there is a reason for that question<
is the reader the orignal ?
as the usb olny came in later rev 3.5 and 4
before that it was a serial unit
u can tell by the open port on the i/o board
where the reader would plug in
then the mfg of the board went up a rev and fourced all to the usb side of thing's
and that is where it get's stickey
if u are using a 4 port usb card
get rid of it with rev 3.5/4 as it is not needed
3.4 require's it as it is the change over s/w
the patch is 4kb or such
and is junk and i will not even post it
if it is a early rev of the game
>menu/game-setup/rev<
dongle will tell u really what it is >3/3.4/4< canada/usa
in the usa it is a sub like 4.5 or 3.7 or such
if u do not have the proper dongle it will give u card reader error's
hence the reason i moved to ditch it
now u can c where my question's are going
read the post over a few time's
DO NOT SKIP A POINT
ed
-
Well the tower I have does have 4 USB ports but they are in separate locations (two on the bottom and 2 in the upper portion of the computer). Do you think I should reinstall the game? I don't mind doing that but it will be depressing losing all of our stats and scores. Thanks for taking the time this afternoon to help!
-
hi
hmm cant ever rem seeing a 2 port pcima card ?
they come as 2/4/6/8
but we used 4 port
the 2 on the back of the tower are usb 1
the card is for faster reading usb2
but for all intensive reason's is usless to us as the i/o mfg never fully coded into it
ie >usb2< they stuck with >usb1<
hence the reason i tell ppl to ditch it
now u got this tower as a complete running unit ?
with it's proper disk's ?
if so how many less the rescue disk ?
and on the rescue disk EXACTLEY what is printed COMPLETLEY
this way i can ref my libary and tell u what reader/i/o/usb config u should have
as from what u are telling me from what i can deduce to date is u bought a running unit,did u get the origanl card reader?
if not please tell me the s/w rev..the rescuse disk will do that for me

hi
hmm cant ever rem seeing a 2 port pcima card ?
they come as 2/4/6/8
but we used 4 port
the 2 on the back of the tower are usb 1
the card is for faster reading usb2
but for all intensive reason's is usless to us as the i/o mfg never fully coded into it
ie >usb2< they stuck with >usb1<
hence the reason i tell ppl to ditch it
now u got this tower as a complete running unit ?
with it's proper disk's ?
if so how many less the rescue disk ?
and on the rescue disk EXACTLEY what is printed COMPLETLEY
this way i can ref my libary and tell u what reader/i/o/usb config u should have

My mistake Ed. It looks like I have two USB ports toward the top and one USB port towards the i/o card under the VGA port.

hi
from your pic i c 2 usb's on the tower
this make's it rev 3/3.5 era
from the lower part of the pic i c 2 usb card's?
as a rule i run the i/o usb right into 1 of the tower's usb port's >unless they are trashed<,at which point i will ditch the mobo
as it will give problem's in a short date of time
plug the card reader right into 1 of the tower's port's
it should pick it right up after a reboot
if not test the port's
:bios: make sure they are enabled
because if they are out so is the conxit chip set
the t10 >lan< should also be enabled
and u should as pre 1 of my post's beable to goggle with the putter
if not !!!!trash the board!!!,i can not get any clearer
from your pic i see wrong routing
is the i/o plugged into another usb card ?
if so u are confiliting the interuptes
the i/o card is ment to plug into a usb port on the tower :main usb's: not a usb card
as it's input call's are usb1 based
usb2 is simply to fast for it
live un-plugged i cannot touch on..it's a hack of it's gamming >dealer here<
about the same with silver strike/buck hunter about anything expect for pre gt-live

So I reconnected the USB per your instructions and the card reader error still shows. When I go into BIOS the USB ports are enabled. So you think it's not a driver issue?

I can check to see what version of Team Challenge I am running tomorrow. Thanks for taking the time to help on this. Have a good night.

Hi Ed, it seems mate u have finally lost it with ur bad words post ha ha ha ha
Please send to Oz what ever u r on? Lol
Just a quickly again where do I place the betabrite.bin file u uploaded on my PGA?
Thx Spitfire
-
hi
spitfire
that is the actual bad word script..ie forbidden
unless u add them to the good word's script
see my point ?
the .bin i up-loaded is for the actual sign,so u can edit the .bin and reload it to the eprom of the sign
the c++ code is the driving code for the sign

Hi Ed,
Ahhh ok my sign just displays betabrite advertising but now PGA stats ads etc. it doesn't even see the sign diagnostic test. Lilshawn is sending me a new cable to see I that makes a difference? Do you think I don't have the drivers on my version of team challenge or do u think the cables the issue?? Or do you have another reason why I'm having this issue?
-
hi spitfire
stay with the new cable first
that way when i up-load the rest of ledbright
stuff u will be in a better posistion to us it

No prob Ed awaiting the new cables arrival and ur go ahead. Have lots to do anyway as I have just started my virtual pin mods to make it come alive and have a number of multicade cab builds on the go.

Without having my original install disks for Team Challenge what is the easiest way to find out what version I'm running to help us identify the proper drivers for the card reader?

short of that the rescuse disk that i sharded is 1 of the 1 disk fit's all
kind of thing

OK, so is there info I can relay to you from the dongle? I'm not following, sorry.
Also, that Rescue disk you uploaded to Dropbox a while back was incomplete as it was only 8mb in size. The Rescue that I have up there now is from an original Rescue from Team Challenge and is complete.
-
hi
sorry about that i thought it was the complete 1 ?
if u open the dongle up
there is boat load of number's on a few of the chip's
write these down and e-mail them to me
i can find your build from that info
as i need to take it the olny thing writtin on the outside of your dongle is :usa:

e-mail me please
my boss is going to do it for me

The outside of my dongle says:
H4 M1 5.0
EMMMQ 204883
Don't really see how to decase the dongle and it makes me nervous to try because if I damage it it's going to cost me $139 to have it replaced by Global VR until the dongle bypass is released. Does that help at all?
-
hi
stpcore
ya
>H4 M1 5.0<
rev 5 software
the lastest for usa
we stopped at 4.5
easy as it get's canadian=odd
usa = even
so with that info in hand your card reader should be usb style
no light's xico mo1002 >v< = verison 84 or higher
u should have a 20 pin dip in place of the 40 pin atmel mirco
your drivers's should be on disk 1 and three
these do not need an enabler so there should not be any on your rescue disk
let me chk my 1-4's and find them for u

Hi Ed,
I have come across some PGA towers and am looking to move forward and update them. I know you have been working extremely hard in getting software ready to release so we can truly unlock the potential of these games.
Can you give us an update on where things stand please? I was reading a bit here and it seemed like things were just about ready, but maybe I was mistaken. Thanks in advance, and a bigger thank you for your time, expertise, and dedication on this project. Hope to hear soon.

what ppl have to understand to test the code it must be loaded and used
and if there is a bug u re-format fix and do it over again,glad it is that nick doing it
as i would have smashed something by now
but i know the nick's work as we have worked toghter in far move complex problem's then this,un-named even laughed at me when i said i have this h-key issuie,until the trace route found the full bug.

Hi
I still have a problem with my Championship 2 arcade machine.
Since my last post I've installed the correct Nvidia Ti4200 and installed the recovery disc but after the reboot I receive a blue Windows error screen (attached).
Solutions I've tried:
I installed XP to check the hardware: everything works fine.
Tried another hard drive with the recovery disc: same blue screen
Booted without any PCI cards installed, only the AGP: still the same problem.
Could my recovery disc be the problem? Could you give me access to try another?
I've run out of ideas to fix the machine but I'm reluctant to convert it into a mame cabinet!
Please could someone advise to what the problem maybe and save my machine! :)
-
Well that screen is commonly referred to as the "Blue Screen of Death" among Windows users and can mean a bunch of different things. Since we are working with a stripped down version of Windows XP you really aren't going to be able to install updated service packs to see if it helps your issue. If it were me I would probably start with checking to make certain that the bios are correctly set.
You can do this by hitting the DEL key while the computer is attempting to boot. Once in the bios screen make sure that these values are matching your machine. The below information was pulled from page 5 of this thread and was originally posted by Ed12.

that is part 4 of the bios setup
Once your values are complete try restarting the computer and see if it gets you anywhere. At that point even if it's not booting at least you are starting your diagnosis with the correct settings.
-
hi
thk-u stp core i did skip that :)
but the moment i read the op used windows xp to test i knew were in for a few problem's,i guess most missed the point we are working with windows xp>e<
yes that is called the blue screen of death,and the op should refer to the bios guide to start with,as a rule u find it with crappy ram >most common< and or other hardware has gone south,but the op SHOULD NEVER USE FULL XP TO TEST IT ON A KNOWN XPE SYSTEM,that take's time to strip out part's u just do not want,ie7/ie8
and all of it dependince's >value's<,plus i guess they missed a few point's about hercules and gvrplus,which must have the new video card value's placed in them
for there call's..i could go on and on
ed
-
Thank you for the quick reply.
My Bios is set correctly as per your instructions.
I'm not trying to install the game in the full XP environment. I installed XP to see if it would install (which it did and everything works)
The problem is that I want the machine to work with the recovery disc XPE but after a successful install from booting with the CD the system reboots to the blue screen attached.
-
Replacing the RAM or placing it in another socket has cleared this error for me in the past as well. I've also had success getting these up and running by replacing the battery on the mother board. Just a couple thoughts.
-
Thank you. I'll try that now.
I'm concerned that my recovery CD is incorrect. I've explored the CD and the current files are present in the PQ_DEBUG.TXT:
FileFind: Getting Files from \Gvr\Games\HP2\NFSHP2
FileFind: Push directory \Gvr\Games\HP2\NFSHP2
Is this correct? It looks like need for speed.
-
I think Global VR places a lot of the same files on all of their Rescue CDs as I have Need for Speed files on my PGA Rescue as well. I have to step out for a few hours so if you don't get additional help I will be back on a little later.
-
Thank you. I'm in the UK so I'll try and check later.
-
Unfortunately I've tried your suggestions but I still have the same problem.
Is there anything else I can try?
Cheers
-
did this machine operate correctly with the original card installed?
even though the card may be the same chipset as the original, it's vendor ID will not be the same. It may be throwing windows for a loop.
Have you tried repairing the original videocard? what's happened with it?
-
Yes but the card failed to work and started to beep 3 times on startup. I don't know how to fix them (any ideas?)
I still have the original card. The motherboard isn't the original but it was working before the video card failed.
-
it may be too far gone to repair... but, sometimes the capacitors on it are all swelled up or dried out, sometime replacing them can get it working again.
you can tell if they are bad by looking at the top. if it's nice and flat, it's good, if it's bubbled up, it's bad. sometimes the stuff inside will leak out. do a google search for "bad caps" for photos of about a bajillion bad capacitors.
your processor might be burned out. Does (did) the fan still turn? overheating them is bad.
-
There is no visual damage. The fan did work.
I don't understand why the computer works fine if I install windows XP but when I install the recovery disc from boot it installs successfully then BSOD on the reboot instead of asking for CD1.
Could my boot CD be incorrect? Is there more than one version for championship edition 2?
Thanks for the help!
-
hi
your firt problem is u put ntfs on that hard drive
u must re-format it back to fat32 >16 if u can reach it<
next u will change the cdrom,it is crappy..
then u will try a fresh reload of the game on the now clean drive
from the rescue disk it should say please wait and tel u to install cd1,cd2 etc
at that point once loaded it will tell u to remove all disk's,and reboot
thats when the hardrive will become first boot divice
next it will take about 5mins durning which time u will c window's chooped
then hercules will kick out >kill-it's-self< and gvr will take over,game should load
if at any time u get blue screen of death,u still have some old window's componet's on the harddrive,at which point it will need a deeper cleaning
now with all that not with standing u could test everything sepreatley
ie video card into a running system,a xp harddrive with the setup u have
to see if u get blue screen of death
in short these machine's are very robust
so if u follow what i just said u may have it fixed tonight

this would have been put the hardrive >the 1 with the pga off it to the side<
and use a replacement hardrive with window's on it to fire the unit up ?
if so did u get blue screen of death ?
2=did u reformat the harddrive in question to fat 32 >16< is best but most do not know how to get there,we can deal with 32
3=if u did replace the drive in question but still get the blue screen ?,did u replace the video card again ?
4=did u remove the ram and clean it,and replace it?
5=have u chked the mobo for any bad cap's as a op here asked ?
6=did u remove the interface card's ?
now with these q's just answer 1=yes or no etc etc there is olny 6 question's
i can better guide u with them answer's

Hi
1.Yes the computer worked with another drive and XP
2.Yes FAT32
3.Yes
4.Yes
5.Yes
6.Yes
Thank you for the help.

hi
thk-u
your harddrive has a fubar mbr >master-boot-record<
which u cannot fix with a window's/os reload
do u have all the disk's for this game ?
if not tell me what is missing..the recover disk is perty generic
disk 1 carry's the main info
what the recovery disk should do with a fat 32/16 drive is prep it to take the game
if the mbr is bad it will not even catch it
olny the bios of the mobo will and or window's of any flavor
this was proven in my #1 question when i asked u to put the drive in question to the side and place in a normal xp drive..and will the board fire all the way up
your answer was >yes<
it point's u straight to the harddrive
now all is not lost here
u can use any drive >ide< over 20meg to get to where u want to go
i would start there
have seen it before and it drove me crazy,until i took stock of some used drive's and did exactley as i pointed out,format to fat16/32
then laid the s/w on it,when in real question i do a parition chk,that will show any bad mbr stuff
sorry this is so long but u will be chasing your tail unless u do these first step's
ed
-
the recovery disk just dumps the info on the drive...it doesn't verify it. if some info gets dumped into a bad sector, it keeps going. that's the problem with images. all the bits go into the same places on the drive regardless if the sector is bad or good..
-
I have all 3 CDs. I reformatted another 40gb drive to FAT32 and installed the recovery disc but I still receive the same blue screen on the reboot.
How do I run a partition and MBR check?
Also if I expand the reboot window details after the recovery CD install it states: The partition on disk 2 at sector 1 is unsafe until reboot. Is this normal?
Could my recovery CD be at fault?
-
hi
i am now trying my hardest here
as if u reformated a harddrive
and still recieve blue screen,but u have done all the other chk's
and everything worked
then 1 can only ask a few more question's
and make 1 statment
is this a :copy: of the rescue disk ?
if not and it's orignal.? then chance's are it is toast
if u rem back a few post's i said ditch the cdrom
u should have replaced it with a dvd rom
if it is a copy it was not done propley
to chk the parition and mbr u need 2 proggies
easudos
and easudos parition restore
if it cannot see the parition it mean's the mbr is fubar
if it can see it,it will repair it
also when u did the format i trust u did not use quick ?
as it will not remove old trace stuff
but i would look for a rescue disk
and we start there
now i think @stpcore put the proper size rescue disk on his ftp
maybe u can pm him for it
the rescuse disk is perty much a 1 size fit's all thingy

Ed et al, I've spent a few days reading this post and am amazed by you all. Thank you so much for sharing! Two weeks ago, at the encouragement of a buddy I bought a champ III machine. My first arcade game ever! After playing an hour or so the tower shut off. I cleaned the holy crap out of everything and same thing. Before reading your posts I took it to DIT for a diagnostic. Did I make a huge mistake by doing this? I don't know jack besides how to wire a house. Feel like I'm over my head and got ripped off. I would love to be at the intelligence of you all when it comes to this. Any advice is greatly appreciated. Cheers and fore!!!
Btw. The game came w no discs. It does make 3 quick beeps when u turn it on but plays fine for an hour and will play again if u let it sit for a bit. I haven't heard jack from DIT so I'm a bit scared now.
-
hi
Slimonce
3 beeb's is normal post
ie the mobo comming up
if it run's for about an hour and shut's off..
i truly wish u had brought to our attenion first here
because there could be 2 reason for this
1= would be the monitor failing
2=the power supply in the unit falling
either are rather easy to diagnois
no in deep stuff there
u see as it is a vga out
when the unit shut's off ? u could hook a lcd to it to see if it is the tower or the monitor,now if it is the tower.? then all u need do is chk to make sure your power-supply is not going south,beside's using a meter and monitioring the +5 or +12v line's,is to look at the fan's in the unit,if they appear to verie in speed over an hour?
then your power supply is on it's marry way south,if the voltage's stay up
then u look for crappy cap's on the mombo..they will def pull the mobo board down
to see if the cap's are bad look for a buldge on there top's
mean's the fan's at 1 time craped out,and the mobo over-heated
90% of the time the micro will live through this,but will need to be resteated with fresh heat sink compond >$19.00< at your local electonics reatiler
the 15 cap's should olny cost u a total of about $15.00 .
a good 400 watt atx style power supply brand new
should olny run u about $30.00
so as u can see the repair is easy and fast
can u solder ? if so u can fix it yourself
just do yourself a favour and DO NOT buy it from EBAY..get fresh stuff
as to whom is reapiring it ? they should have been able to tell u within a few day's
ed
-
Thank you! The monitor stays on and the tower completely shuts off. All fans seemed to work until that point. I believe the monitor said no video signal. It has a great picture which I figured was food since my buddy said be prepared to buy an LCD. It's weird because I let it run idle for four hours and all was good. It's only when's play for a while that the tower goes dead. I "inspected" what I know and things looked okay. I'll be sure to provide DIT Computers findings if they get back to me! Appreciate your time very much!
-
hi
ok so we have it nailed to the tower
this is easy to repair..>DO NOT LET THEM SWITCH THE HARD DRIVE OR DO ANYTHING WITH IT< as it will make for a full brand new headache,u just do not want
now with that said..the video card on them is known to go south..and u just CANNOT
PLACE IN ANY WILLY NILLY CARD,there is a range of card's u can use
or wiat for my late realse as it carry's 90% of the card's hard coded into hercules and gvr,now a sub test here
is to have them remove the video card >board will default to on board video chip<
place a xp drive in the unit,and test mobo,if it passe's an hour test then u perty much know u need a video card
and it is extremely comon for the 4200 to crap out as the fan fail's and the chip goes south,if it dose not pass the hour test then your p/s is south
to be honest i have never truly seen a mirco go south on these unit's
there perty robust
ed
-
Will do. Just being honest, I paid 450 for the machine. All else seems to be fine except for the absence of the tournament stuff, can see it but cant highlight it. Did I do okay? It has a card reader and the beta brite generic led. No cards tho! Love what u guys r talking about w the tournament edition. Wish I was there!
-
hi
unitl my realse goe's out
u will need a player's card to un-lock all course's
but once u get the tower back
follow some of my post's as to what u can and cannot do with an off the shelf unit
$450.00 is fair game as long as the monitor is strong and good
a willy nilly lcd is just a very bad idea
as the white's will tear and there is crap u can do about it
i have into length about it
i do believe if u take the time to re read my post's u will see >code posteded<
this would have been done,so if u can edit .ini's and or .cfg's
u can bypass card reader totaly,my realse walk's right around it and save's it to a file on the hardrive under c:\pga/gvr+/card/player_input <<that's the basic tree>>
now as i have said u can remove the dial up modem
also u can remove the usb2 port card
if u run into problem's with the :i/o: card for the game control's >which can be a problem child<
i did hard code in opti controller
it should auto detect it,slow's down the load up a byte but hey u know..
so u can ditch it also
so all is not lost

Hi Ed
My recovery disc is a copy and the only one I have.
I've reformatted the hard drive to FAT16 and 32 but regardless of the format, after the recovery CD installs it reformatted it back to NTFS. Is this correct?
Easeus finds no problems and the BLOD still happens with the same error code.
I've sent stpcore a PM for a different recovery CD.
My image file is: PGA0002.PQI
This is driving me crazy :banghead:
Is there anything else I could try?
The last thing I can think of is the motherboard isn't original. Could this cause a problem with the recovery CD drivers casing BLOD?
Also I read earlier in the post that Paulstevens had a Dell GX260 working. Would it be easier to make this work?
I'm determined to save the machine with your help!
Cheers.
-
Hi Simonw,
Mate of mine at a similar prob with his machine and nothing would fix it until he changed the ram in the machine not just the slots new ram same type. Then all fixes Ed n everyone else have mentioned hopefully will work.
I also have had the prob on my machine where game stops working after a while and it definatlely is a graphics card problem. You need to find another card of the same type or one that ur version of PGA excepts. I think this thread lists the excepted cards somewhere.
I hope this helps.
Thx Spitfire
-
Hi Spitfire
Unfortunately I have already replaced the ram which made no difference.
The graphics card is fine.
Cheers
Simon
-
hi
please hold until stpcore get's back to u with a good recovery disk
as i said 1 size fit's just about all
it should have formated back to ntfs..but this is not the ntfs u are uset to seeing in full window's,olny 1 part is truly ntfs the rest will come back as either usuable and or fat.
now if your parition is reporting back good
as u stated,then we are looking at a crappy copy of the recover disk
u see when they are copyed they have to be done in a ceritan way so as to get all the file's,as some are hidden,i will also add now that i will find it hard to believe u have bad hardware,as u have done all of the hardware test's i would have done
and it seem's to pointing to the rescue disk,let's just wait until we can u a full and complete copy
ed
-
I've been in contact with simonw and he should have what he needs at this point.
How is the progress with your release coming, Ed? Any updates?
One last question my friend... Any chance if you have some free time in the next few days you may be able to post the drivers for my card reader and give me a simple tutorial on how to install them on my hard drive correctly? I hate not having my custom golfer available! If not...no worries as your release is much more important than my card reader at this point and I certainly don't want to delay that at all.
I was thinking of picking up another TI4200 and throwing it in that Dell Optiplex and see if it will fire up. I know I will have to do something in order for the sound to work per paulstevens original posts awhile back. Something to keep me busy until we are playing Ed's masterpiece PGA update.

What is the best way to burn the CD and make it bootable? I'm going to try Imgburn and allbootdiscs.com?
Cheers

hi
bootale-iso

thk-u stp core for helping the op
ed

The recovery CD worked! No more blue screen :)
Once XPE starts it asks for some missing drivers: SISAGP.SYS, PCI Simple communications controller and Multimedia controller.
The motherboard is a Gigabyte 8ST800 Rev 1.1
When I start the game CD it displays that the dongle is not valid. I have a championship 2 dongle and a 2.1.3.0 CD.
Is this because of the drivers?
Thank you so much for the support!
-
hi
simonw
yes it is
u need to find a disk from your rev
the reason i pointed to that rescue disk is to prove
a=u are not nut's
b=your disk is fubar
now let me see what i can dig up for u
but the short is there is no more blue screen >congrad's<
1 hurdel down 1 to go

Thank you.
If you can't find a disc with my revision is there anyway I can use the newer version without a dongle?
My cabinet has the tournament upgrade(not sure if it makes a difference)
Cheers

hi
ok there is another op here that chime's in
let's see if that op will step up to the plate?
as most of mine are newer build's
this will save u alot of edit work
as in my build's i do remove the dongle call,as i have posted the code
and what to >kill<
this is done in .ini and .cfg file's
and if u not good at EDITING i would walk away
let's see what we can do
hang tight u are better then half way there

Hi Ed
I'm more than willing to give it a try.
What do I need to do now?
I've installed the recovery disc.
Do I need to delete pga\hercules\gvrdongle.exe from the recovery disc and reinstall on a clean hard drive?
here are the step's
COPY RESCUE DISK INTO IT'S OWN .DIR ON A ACTIVE HARDDRIVE
LET'S USE THIS AS AN EXAMPLE C:\RESCUE
OPEN IT
LOOK FOR HERCULE'S
OPEN IT
LOOK FOR GVRDONGLE.EXE
KILL THAT .CMD
Will this sort the missing drivers, or does it matter?
Cheers
Simon
-
hi
yes u are on the right track,that is correct
there is a few other's to kill also..
but hold tight i may have your rescue
i am canada bound,so it could be a odd # build
let me boo at them,if i go back that far i will foward to a up-load site

Great.
I look forward to your solution :)

it will walk right around the dongle call
and carry on loading as pre normal!
>>U MUST THEN RE-BURN THE NEW RESCUE DISK<<,and use it
but as i stated there is a few other .cmd's to kill or edit
i have found the call in some of the setup disk's #1 and #3

hi
ok simonw
u have a total of 3 disk's correct ? this will inculde the system rescue disk
if so 1/2 are the exact same
both of which i have
in championship 3 they changed the key for the dongle
hence the massive edit's to kill the dang cmd
now go to gobalvr tech ref site and make sure
this > pn:050-002401< match's what u need,and i will get it up there
if u have to call them ref the ^^^^^ # so they can cross ref it for u
they will give u a proper part # if mine is wrong
we can then move foward for u the easy way
ed

Yes 3 discs including the rescue disc.
Looking here:
http://service.globalvr.com/reference/default.htm (http://service.globalvr.com/reference/default.htm)
It would be pn:050-0055-01 as I have a Nytric 1.5 installed.
VER 050-0024-01 REV B (causes a blue screen)
Reading the UK document below:
http://service.globalvr.com/downloads/international/040-0126-CVA_PGA_TEAM_CHALLENGE_UPGRADE_CVA-WEB.pdf (http://service.globalvr.com/downloads/international/040-0126-CVA_PGA_TEAM_CHALLENGE_UPGRADE_CVA-WEB.pdf)
I believe the original Recovery disc would have been pn:050-0101-01 at it is a Maygay/Enta system not DRI. (would this matter now there's a different motherboard?)
I can't wait to play the game!

Hi Simon, what were the steps u used to make the rescue disk bootable?
Thx Spitfire
-
Hi Spitfire
I used Imgburn to add the files, selected make bootable and added a Windows98_SE.img for the boot file.
Once the system boots from the CD. I type D:(CD Drive letter) enter, then: PQDOTASK.BAT enter which loads the recovery disc.
Cheers

I may have a Championship II rescue. Let me check today. If I have it I will upload it to Dropbox for you.

OK so I have the following:
EMERGENCY RECOVERY DISK
CHAMPIONSHIP II
VER 050-0024-01 REV B
PATCH DISK
CHAMPIONSHIP II
PATCHES FROM VER 2.1.0 to 2.1.1
INSTALL DISKS
CHAMPIONSHIP II
Not sure what you need but let me know and I can upload them for you if need be.

Hi Stpcore
That's great news!
Please could you upload the recovery disc to the Dropbox folder?
:)
-
Absolutely. I will do it for you now. Look for it in a few minutes.
-
Thank you so much! :)
Is there anyway that you could upload the install discs too? (just in case mine have a problem like my recovery disc did causing the pain of BLOD)
-
Sure. I will upload those with the patch disks in about 20 minutes. I'm getting my son ready for school at the moment.
-
Thank you.
Championship 2/NEW is only showing 3 files (are they all still uploading?)
Cheers
Simon
-
Yes. The largest of the files is in the middle of uploading right now. I will let you know when it's complete.
-
OK, Rescue should be uploaded and complete. I will now upload install 1, 2, and the patch disk.

Hi
Recovery CDs so far:
Interestingly the VER 050-0024-01 REV B causes a BLOD on boot up.
PGA Golf Team Challenge recovery disc install fine and loads up XPE but states the dongle isn't valid when trying to install Champ 2.1.3.0
Stpcore: I'll try the new game install disc once it has uploaded.
Simon
-
Maybe a fresh install is the way to go? Surprised its so finicky! I was able to use the recovery CD for "Challenge" to install "Team Challenge" without any problems but who knows? I will let you know as soon as everything is uploaded. It's taking some time so maybe 2 hours or less?
-
Same with a fresh install. It's so difficult trying to work with the original dongle! if I could remove the need for it I'd install the team challenge as the recovery CD works and bin my championship 2 dongle!
It'd be great to eventually play PGA globally, maybe just fix it first :D
Thank you for helping!
-

I agree. We've been anticipating the dongle kill for quite a long time. It will be nice if it happens!
I wonder if you tried the rescue for Championship III with a fresh install of the Championship II disks that I'm uploading if that would work? Did you want to give it a try?
-
I don't have the Championship 3 rescue CD.
Only PGA Golf Team Challenge and championship 2/2.1
Cheers

I have the rescue for Championship III. I will upload it now.

Excellent! :)
I'm running out of CDs :D

Well the Rescue Disks I have for Championship versions are
Ver 8.26.2003
050-0024-01 Rev B
(Came with Championship III)
Ver 8.26.2003
050-0024-01 Rev B
(Came with Championship II)
*Uploaded this to you*
Version 8.25.03
050-0024-01 Rev B
(Came with Championship I)
I also have the "Challenge"
Version 3.0.0
050-0072-01
Team Challenge is in Dropbox and you tried that already with the most success.
Which one(s) did you want to try?
**EDITS MADE TO CORRECT VERSION NUMBERS***
-
Thank you for the quick replies.
All three if possible because I have no idea which will work as you said Team challenge recovery installs while champ2 doesn't!
I'd be very grateful if you could! :cheers:
Simon
-
I updated those version numbers in my last post as I accidentally mixed and matched the rescue versions with install versions. So with that being said it looks like Championship II and III where using the same Rescue version. I can upload Championship I and Challenge Rescues to see if that will make any difference for you. You have to be getting close I'm assuming. If that dongle kill gets released you will be golden.
-
Yes please.
I feel like it's making progress.
I've just tried to install the Team challenge CDs out of interest and they show the following errors:
Cannot find:
D:\_setup\feedkeys.wsf
D:\_setup\killgame.wsf
D:\_setup\deleteshort.wsf
D:\_setup\stopautoplay.wsf
but it continues to install the 3 CDs ???
Once all 3 Cd are installed:
It shows the following error messages:
Cannot find:

D:\_setup\InstallCertificate.wsf
Installation failed
Further than my championship install!
Please let me know when they are all uploaded.

u must have your load set to display ?
as that is mostly background noise
wfs is a wack format,it was written for gobalvr

u can clearly see what it is doing
ie this is a dos32 program must be run under window's >u shake your head at that statment<,but thats what they did to confuse the mud

Hi Ed
What would you recommend that I do moving forward?

hi
a few answer's here in order
stpcore
the smart card reader take's care of itself :ie: no driver's are loaded for it
to prove this to yourself
window's key on the keyboard-device manger-smartcard reader's
it will be blank :ie-no driver's:
rember u may have to kill hercules
smart key >window's< logo,kill hercules
u may need to do it a few time's
at the top of the screen should read >gvr00012909f43< or such
this btw is your key code
now onto the patch
trickey at the moment
but it can be done
LET ME TEST FIRST
>>floppy is on through seek on boot<<
>>in advaned bios we turn it to :enabled:<<
>>this of course should be floppy :a:=3.1/5 inch's<<
>>we then load our patch<<
>>with the machine on a REBOOT<<
>>it will kill the dongle cmd<<
i am just trying to patch so u ppl can do it easy like,no fuss no muss as it is said
with that said IF it work's the way i want?
the next patch will be your PLAYER-CARD-KILL-CMD
i truly encourage all pl to turn on the ethernet
on board 1
again bios advanced >enable<
now these patch's HAVE NO HKEY >WINBLOW'S< ERROR'S SO THEY ARE SAFE TO USE
mind u this is used real time on a running box
to do it from a fresh load i may need to edit the main file >rescue< disk and such
i am going to let this thing run for a byte
then i am going after turney
again,it should load here as a floppy patch
u can of course burn to disk if u like
ed
-
OK, so no drivers for the card reader. I must have two card readers that aren't functioning. If anyone has an extra they would like to sell let me know.
With that being said, Ed...I don't want to bother you with anything else so that you can dedicate your time to getting your patches up and running. If it's something we must do step by step that's fine. Let me know if I can help in any way as I would certainly be willing to do so.
Thanks!

hi
tust me here u ppl are not REPEAT NOT TAKEING UP MY TIME
i have learned as much as u ppl have AND i thank-u all...
am testing to usb thumb drive now
let me see how this goes
as boot will be even simpler
now that not with standing,
once gobalvr load's hercule's is basicly locked out
so i need to give gvr an attuide fix
i do think we can do this by WINDOWS/START/RUN WE FIND HERCULES
we then
will kill a few cmd's
ed

Sounds like you have it figured out for the most part. When will we be able to test with you?

Thank you for the help so far!
I'm only able to install the Team Challenge recovery and game discs.
Once the install completes I see the loading screen and these errors:
Cannot find:
D:\_setup\SetupCabinet.wsf
D:\_setup\InstallCertificate.wsf
Winxpe keeps asking for the following drivers:
PCI simple communications controller
Multimedia Audio Controller
Sisagp.sys
Interestingly it has changed the text on the LED display to the Team Challenge text.
How can I make this work without the correct dongle? (Mine is Champ 2)
Cheers
Simon
-
You can't make it work without the correct dongle yet (if you are referring to playing Team Challenge without a Team Challenge dongle). Ed is currently working on a software patch that will allow you to do so. You may want to hang tight and see where he leads us. If that LED topper is displaying Team Challenge info then the game is most likely installed correctly but without a Team Challenge dongle that's not going to do you any good for right now.

hi
ok a fast up-date here
if u can :slave: your drive
and place it in a running xp box >xp-olny<
u can edit file's
ie 318 runtime.ini :interesting little diddie there:
55 .autoexec.bat >key number ref file<
now welp we are at add and delte's
cd\gvr
u will find :nvidia_installer_61771:
niftie little file for the call to your video card serial# >build<
now your best way to do this is to use it as a 2nd drive >slave<
just rember the cmd's i posted
so u can find the .dir's

Hi Ed
Great work so far!
Will I be able to boot my PGA machine without the dongle by:
Slaving the drive to a XP machine.
Copying the missing drivers to system 32:PCI simple communications controller, Multimedia Audio Controller, Sisagp.sys.
Run CMD: locate and delete the c:\hercules del gvrdonglemonitor.exe.
Install the hard drive back into the PGA machine.
Please could you point me in the right direction if I've missed any steps?
Cheers
Simon

I've tried deleting the donglemonitor.exe file in multiple combinations in the past and it never worked for me. Just offering my experience.
-
Oh no. With your help, it's so close to working!
I don't suppose you have any dongles for sale?
Cheers
-
It seems like Ed is close to getting this done. He has the day off today and he may finish it up. Let's see what happens today and if you need a dongle I will get one to you. I think his above post was more showing his approach on how he is going to kill the dongle versus a tutorial on how to do so.
-
hi
stpcore your 50/50 on that call
yes it is a way to do it,and what i found
i am going to slave this drive today to find out if i am correct
what i did find yesterday is u CANNNOT edit in winxpe
so i am going to try a backdoor way today
now on to your card reader problem
i olny have 1 question for u
once your machine fire's up dose it no go to a screen that say's no card reader found press start to contuine ?
and if press start dose the machine truly start :ie course's etc :?
ed
-
I do get the card reader error stating that it is not connected and I have to press the start button to continue and the game starts.
-
hi
stpcore
ok i was looking into the file's
i will list them out for it is a long list and u CANNOT get at them normaly like
they are hidden in the player's/course's/cardreader,then they link back to the reader's..it's wack but they are there
now i did remove
c:\hercules\gvrdonglemonitor.exe
but it did biatch at me for the dongle...it has something to do
with the game serial# or such
will work at it today to totaly kill this cmd
now back to your pressing problem
would u be ok with just removing the card-reader ?
for all reasons i do not use it anyway's
as i repoint to save to harddrive.
reason for this is i do not think ppl are going to move that info with them >a<
and with it on line with your password u can log into the putter in question >your's<
if it is on.

I have two reasons I would like to get the card reader going.
1. I have someone picking up a machine that would like to use the card reader as there is no other way to customize a golfer for him at this point.
2. I personally would like to create and save my golfer info and up to now the only option to do this is with the card reader.
I think the create a golfer is a great feature that I don't want to shut off and ignore.

hi
ok understood
bear with me

Ed, thank you for helping but PLEASE don't let my card reader issue slow the progress of your software patches. It's not very important and I can figure it out later. Thanks!

hi
stpcore your request is by no main's out of the relm
for what i am doing
trust me here
dongle offender cmd will need edit's
reason is simple if u remove it >windows/system32/gameenum.sys<
the game will not boot
putting it back into system32 make's all it to happey
so as it is written in c++? why i do not know
but it is there so we find the >linker's< or :edit: the .cmd using vb6 or 7
ed

hi
i did a disasmably on gameenum.sys
and it point's to
hal.dll
and
ntoskrnl >kernel file< ie register file
i just yanked them out
let the testing begin,they all sit in windows/system32
ed

So Ed, where you able to get anything finished for PGA on your off day yesterday? It looks as if you where working on it for a good part of the day. Curious about your results.
-
hi
yes stpcore i did
i am off today so i can play again
i did remove ntoskrnl.exe
and hal.dll
and it complained
so i put back hal.dll and it still complained
then i placed back in ntoskrnl.exe and it fired right up
so there we have it
i have missed a linker from hall.dll
will process the dll today to find it
ed

Good job. Keep us posted today (I look forward to these updates).

hi
look's like i am off tommrow and friday also
so now we have lot's of play time
stpcore
i am still puzzled as to why your card reader will not work
when as u state windows xp sp3 will c it i do think there is a test s/w for it
let me dig out my lappie,i should have it
dirt
my boss shipped..
ed
-
It's a mystery to me as well. Although Windows XP recognizes both card readers neither of them register anything when I swipe a card in PGA or in my Windows XP laptop. I don't really know what's going on there.
I'm selling my last Team Challenge with dongle next week. I have one more tower running Team Challenge that I'm keeping for myself but I lost the Team Challenge dongle so hopefully your software patches will be in place by next week as I will be without Team Challenge and that is disappointing!
-
Sounds like positive progress.
Please let me know if there is anything I can test in regards to deleting the dongle.
Cheers
Simon

It would be great to contact someone on the original PGA Golf development team to see if they could shed some light and point us in the right direction. I wonder where they are now?! I will be in and out all day but if I can help test anything let me know as well.

They are no more in the UK. There is very little available for Global VR products. :(

hi
i have a little timbit for ya
in the main .dir
ie c:\
look for boot.ini
remove this cmd at the end of the line >/noguiboot
save
place drive back into machine
wala 10-x faster boot
and it will show windowsxpembeded
right in the start up screen
stpcore
i know i went over this
but the s/w team was disbanded 10+ year's ago
that is right out of gobalvr's mouth
and it was a team >10 or more< coder's
this is the reason i was given the okie dokie to tear the s/w down
and rebuild it to our now new need's
now back to this dongle

from there running s/w

hi
ok u can safley remove \hercules >patchagent.exe<
it is a useless file
watch the game boot even faster
also i removed

this put's u into the :tree: >/<
just the slashs and not the arrow's

I remember working on the patchagent with the donglemonitor.exe thinking that the two may depend on one another for the dongle call. Getting closer to killing it?

hi
yup
just doing another test
biatch is i have to reboot main putter everytime i load in the drive
oh well such is life
next is kill monitor
for lcd user's i do believe they will love this kill..
off to test
ed
-
just for shits and giggles stpcore, you have a working machine no?
how about booting up the system, then one it's booted to the game, removing the dongle...does the game still properly operate or does it work for a bit and then complain about the dongle being gone?
the reason i ask is... If the system only checks for the dongle on game start, and doesn't ask about the dongle again, it will be simple to remove the call for the dongle.
if it continuously asks for the dongle throughout the operation, (called "envelope") it's more to it than you are seeing.
i know the newer USB style of Hasp HL locks are usually locked "envelope" style and are called continuously (every few minutes), if the software calls for a dongle shoutout and it doesn't get one it shuts down. It's extremely hard to bypass this type of system because the call system is injected into the programs code using some software. the only way ive seen to remove the envelope is to load the program and use the master key (that was used to apply the dongle code to the software in the first place) to remove it.
I know this because I ordered a hasp usb dongle learning/development kit from Aladdin (later Sentinel and now safe-net) some time ago because our jukebox software uses them. (planed on attempting to bypass the system) There was an attempt (by me) to utilize a program "BrainStudio HASP emulator" that scans the system for HASP calls and then emulate those calls via software running in windows so you didn't need the original key. I was never able to get it to work (though i never tried very hard.)
perhaps this might be a plan "B"?
-
lilshawn, I will check when I get home and let you know.
Ed, I use a 39" LCD. What will killmonitor do?
-
It seems that the game will not fully function when the dongle is removed after it initially loads. After Team Challenge loaded on my computer I removed the dongle. The menus where fully functional (selecting a game, number of golfers, specific golfer, and course) but when the course should be loading the game switches to the "Thanks for playing" screen and returns you to the main menu. So it looks like it's calling for the dongle before each game is launched. Oh well...looks like envelope.
-
hi
not really stpcore
i am just picking it apart
it is all pointing to c:\hercules\autoexe.bat
i have removed \hercules\stallmonitor
and hercules\crashmonitor
had to put back both in
or it will not be stable
or not load
so they are intertwined
this point's me to the .bat file
as the game will reload after a short break..? just not right for what we want to do
now it loads without stallmonitor.exe
guess it had to rebuild itself
let me chk into more
ed
-
Sounds good. What is the kill monitor you are referring to? This dongle call may as well be installed in our National Security as it seems rather effective in doing it's job. LOL!
-
how about if we just just got the game to the attract screen let it run for a bit, then pull the dongle. does it stall or quit if left alone on the attract screen or does it continue to run. (don't try to start a game this time, just let it run)
it may just call the dongle as each section runs. in which case ed is on the right track. if it's enveloped, he might be barking up the wrong tree.
i'll dig up my kit out of the basement storage tonight and do some reading.
-
Alright man, I'm on it. I will test it for a few minutes and see what happens. I do know that it stuttered in attract mode with the dongle removed after I tried to load a game but haven't tried to let attract mode run without starting a game. Give me a few minutes and I will report back.
-
I let the game load and during the attract mode I pulled the dongle. After about 2 minutes of attract mode I received the "Dongle is invalid or missing" screen.
-
we might be in for quite a haul to get this hacked.
i'm not 100% about the parallel port hasp keys (as the info i have pertains mainly to the Hasp HL USB keys. I imagine the technology is similar...) but there is basically 2 ways you can go about protecting software "envelope" and writing the call checks directly into the software.
while not impossible to remove the call checks from the code, it will be tedious.
if it's enveloped, you need the original vendor key used to apply the SRM in the first place to remove the SRM from the software. In this case, we would need to get that from global VR directly.
-
Well that doesn't sound very encouraging. I do appreciate your honesty. Ed has been in contact with Global VR so maybe they can help?
-
of course the Parallel hasp keys could be completely different. HASP keys are very well documented... which means there should be lots of workarounds.
this is where i first started out learning about the HASP keys: http://www.brstudio.com/dongles.html (http://www.brstudio.com/dongles.html) i went back and re-tried to get a log of our HASP and i managed to get a log of our juke software key and i sent it off this afternoon we will see if/what gets sent back.
if this guy is still running software, this may be a suitable plan "B".

the problem here is u need the >key<
stpcore's is not around the op is short a key
and they all differ
it get's loaded with gvrtool's along with the :rsa:,which i did indentify and remove.
hence the reason i went on to removing the key >dongle< call totaly/yesterday/the day before etc,
strip out it's call's,then it is no fuss no muss
and gobal vr cannot come at me for breach
the rest of what i have been doing is a kinda of teaching thingy
to explain what u do and do not need
if this is not required please state so
side not here if u have the drive out as requested
please go to your main coumpter control panel
click the drive
propites
and un-chk allow indexing services
it will biatch at u it cannot do a few thing's..just click inqoure all let it do its thing
then clean the drive
ie: remove all the stuff that come's up in the pop up window u may or may not have to :chk-mark-them:
this will make what i am doing a boat load eaiser

I still have one Team Challenge dongle if that's what you are referring to, Ed. Maybe we need a dongle emulator versus a dongle call kill?

hi
if u have 1 ?
u can with the sw link lilshawn
posted do away with it
i was looking into the call totaly
and i do believe the s/w rev carry's it inside of a dll
the drive is locked back into it's bay on this box
so i can dig in a tad better
as i have been doing for the last few day's

It would be beyond my scope at this point. I'm not sure where I would begin, continue, or end. Never worked with these dongles or that software for that matter. Still trying to grasp the concept of what's happening. Remember, Im not a coder.

Looks like the idea is to fool the response of any dongle call to compare it to 0000s zeros or nulls which is what might be reported if a dongle is missing.
That is a good idea. Someone needs to try this to see if it works. I'm a week or so away from being able to try it myself.
Thanks all for keeping this thread alive.

My interpretation of this is:
find and edit the weruntime.ini file which may reside in a gvrtools folder/directory.
edit the file and zero out the DeviceModel, DeviceRole, DeviceSerial, and DeviceLicense.
Leave GUID, PID, SKU,OEMRev as they are because they will be correct for your particular installation.
Now I just have to wait for my computer so I can try this.

Sorry Ed but it's not clear to me at all. I'm sure it's because you are light years ahead of me with your knowledge and you will have to "dumb it down" for me to understand.
I thought you were working on the dongle kill? Then you are talking about Tiger Woods and his contract with Global VR? Then you are posting that he is hidden in the game (I thought we covered this)? I know he is in the game (So is Arnold Palmer, Jack Nicolas, and others). If you are talking about unlocking golfers for play that's great but I am asking for someone to create a tutorial for how to edit code in order to do so. I have no idea what it means to look at the HKEYS to activate Tiger Woods, lol!
Remember, not everyone is at your experience and education level (me especially). If doing a very basic tutorial is going to take too much time for you (I completely understand) I would love to see if anyone here can post a tutorial based on your findings or give me a general step by step outline. I've put countless hours into this and have learned a bunch but I don't know where or how to edit code and that's where I get a little lost. If everyone else is following this and I'm holding everyone up I can wait until you all finish and ask for help later.
So are you unlocking courses, Tiger Woods, or bypassing the dongle with your above posts? It's not clear to me and I'm sorry. ;D
-
I got a hold of a drive for Team Challenge.
WERUNTIME.INI is on the root directory. The contents of the file are exactly as Ed posted.
My question to Ed is:
1. you say the line to edit is RunTimePID, and you suggest setting it to 00000-00000-00000-00000
As far as I can tell, ed says the ONLY line to change in WERUNTIME.INI is the RunTimePID.
Is that correct?
I'm not sure what that will do, perhaps fake out the dongle call.
My apologies for throwing off the thread with the Tiger thing. I'll try to figure that out offline.

I gained contact with the gentleman/woman who was dealing with cracking the HASP software, i'm going to send of our enveloped jukebox software and ask some questions about these other hasp dongles while i'm at it. can't hurt to know everything i can. let ed do what he's doing for now. I'll see what i can find...we can collaborate our info and get this knocked off.

Hi Ed, just to follow up I wasn't trying to come across as frustrated or anything in my last post. I am just trying to let you know that I'm trying to get on the same page with you. Hope you didn't take my last post in the wrong way. It's hard to convey general feelings when you are reading text. I'm encouraged by what you have found and I want to be certain I don't get lost along the way is all. I need a beer.

Hi Guys,
I have my All Access box running without the dongle. I am using a Hasp emulator. The only problem is that it isn't 100% stable. Sometimes it runs for over an hour without an issue and other times it will only run for five minutes. It never complains that the dongle is missing but locks-up (freezes). No key strokes work after that, the only way to get going again is to do a hard reset. Trying to work out what is causing this issue. May also be related to the fact that it is a new age system Socket 775, PCI-e Graphics card etc. Will post my build if anyone cares to know. It does run 100% with the dongle connected though.
Cheers,
The-0

yes, i mentioned an emulator in an earlier post... i suspected the emulation may not work 100% but it's certainly a start.
i messaged my contact asking about complete removal of protection or if emulation is the only way... I'll post up when i hear back.

I think it would be beneficial for all of us if you don't mind posting the build. In addition, I would be willing to test the dongle emulator on my stock machine if you think that your updated hardware is causing the stuttering.

I wonder if you threw in the native TI4200 graphics card if it would stop your freezing issue? It's VERY encouraging that you are running the dongle emulator without the "Dongle Missing" message. Great work. :cheers:
-
H Stpcore,
Will try it on another of my older boxes as this box only has PCI-e graphics slot and the TI4200 is the older AGP type card. Will give you feedback when I am done testing.

Hi The-O
That's great news. Is there anyway I could try the dongle emulator on my system? I have the older Ti4200.
Cheers
Simon

Looks like all I got out of this guy was a price ($400) for a key emulator... I'll keep poking the guy for some more info.
Emulator works only under Windows W2K/XP/2003/Vista/Win 7 32 bit.
You can use Emulator on any computers.
Emulator for your program cost $400 USD.
You can send money on
Bank Transfer
WesternUnion
Inform me, you choose what way of payment also I shall give you a detail.
:-\
he also sent a video showing the software working (without a dongle of course) I'm sure with enough poking around we can find something free...but as mentioned before, emulation doesn't seem 100%. it would be best to have a sure thing. the only sure thing i can think of is removing the protection completely. perhaps another call to Global could rectify this situation completely.

Ed please keep working maybe someone else can help or point me to a new thread. Got my tower back from DIT and they say the mobo is bad. They think all else is okay but not 100% w/o mobo. It's the nb 32 rev b. I found one on eBay. Do I shell out? I have no discs either. I'm down 500 now and don't want to pump more in this if its a loss. It will run an hour or so and then hits something that shuts the entire tower down. Ughhh. Just want to play and catch up w the rest of you. Any help is very much appreciated.
-

K. I'm screwed. Hooked it back up and now all I get is a bunch of beeps from the tower. Doesn't stop. No screen and no power light. Nada. A least I could play for an hour and have a stogie before. Should have thought this through better. So mad at myself for saving up for this and this is the climax!
-
double check your cpu is inserted properly, as well as your ram and AGP card...all of which need to be connected 100% to boot. otherwise...beeeeeep beeeep beep beeeeeeeeep.
also count the beeps, it can give you a hint as to what's wrong.

Lil Shawn Ur awesome! Problem is I'm clueless. I took the sleeves off and think I inspected it. There's lots of things unhooked, but there were before. Also no rhyme or reason to the beeps. They just carry on. I plan on going back to DIT. Also ordered discs and mobo. I am stubborn! (And stupid). Can you tell me what specifically to do? Gut says to do a restart but not sure how at this point. (IT brainwashing)!!!!!!

Hi All, I have been following this thread patiently and I am now having to agree with Ed. We r getting rather side tracked in trying to disable this dongle!!! Most of us have complete working machines with dongles and we have been here waiting for over a year now to see Ed release his patches to allow us to unlock players n courses n all the goodies within the game and the pinnacle is to be able to play each other online.
Now we are a very helping community and all are willing to help u get ur non working machine running but please can we move these issues to another thread say the one STP started as we r all following that also.
That being said Ed are any of these patches complete for us to try and if so can u explain to us how we can get these and install them on our machines so we can finally enjoy playing each other online and playing and enjoying all the different players n courses?
Thx Spitfire

Hi Guys,
The main and only reason we are trying to bypass the dongle is so that we can use the more current main boards that are available these days. Most of which don't have LPT ports any longer.
The-0
-
I agree Spitfire. I, like many others, have religiously been checking, reading this board. A year ago I was so excited about this idea. I still am excited but am having reservations now due to all the directions this hd been going the last 28 pages.
I couldn't even tell you what is going on right now....I just have been sitting back and waiting for the post that says, "game on". I don't even know if a guy like me is still in the running with my bone stock tower and software. I have zero mods, just a working game with a dongle. I honestly thought I would be able to download something (whatever Ed was doing) and it would unlock the players, courses, and possibly get us online. Maybe that is still going to happen, I hope it does, considering a lot of people, including Ed, have worked hard on this.
Sorry to clog the thread gentleman. I agree this thread should stay clear for this project. It's already sooooo long. Not here to offend anyone or piss them off. Just sharing some thoughts and hopefully to see the "game on" message.
Thank you again to everyone dedicated in making this work and making all the thread read worth it!
-
Hi Fg, totally agree mate.
Now that being said Ed it seems that u have the goodies we r all waiting on. When can we all get the files needed to turn our stock standard team challenge machines playing online against each other or at bare minimum unlocking all the players, courses etc to enjoy at home.
You say in this thread u have done all this so r u any closer to sharing with us all or can we offer our help to test.
Thx Spitfire

Hmmm...I'm not really going to offer comment on that other than thanks for your hard work Ed. If you don't mind working on the dongle and online play that would be great. Actually, is online play still in the works? You can PM me so that we don't derail this thread any longer. For anyone else having issues or wanting to comment on other PGA possibilities please post them in my PGA Owners Thread here
http://forum.arcadecontrols.com/index.php/topic,129168.0.html (http://forum.arcadecontrols.com/index.php/topic,129168.0.html)
I have been working with a brilliant handful of members in this forum extensively on helping us achieve unlocking players and courses, dongles, etc. It seems that it is best that we post in the PGA Owners thread for anything that is not a direct follow up of Ed's posts and allow him to have his space he needs and concentrate on his project. Ed's been working on this for quite a while but I assure you, he is not the only one. We will get this figured out one way or another. I think we may be closer than anyone is realizing! :applaud:

as for the player's
u add them by renaming them
to .plyr >player-skin<
course's are done the same way
if u ppl want i will post the exact extision ie .txt/.dat/.bat/.mp3 etc
ed
Hey Ed...you are welcome my man. I am really motivated to help in any way I can here.
As a last request, if you have a minute to explain or give a brief step by step tutorial on how to add one golfer and one course I think that would be VERY MUCH appreciated! You can even post it in my PGA thread if it's easier or PM it to me and I can post it. I would love to try to do this today. Thanks Ed.

Great. It looks like the players in my directory all have the .plyr extension but they aren't playable. I will await your instructions and let you get back to dongle and online without distractions. This will hold us over for sure. Thanks!

so then u either add anark to your window's file viewer or rename them so windows picture file viewer will understand it,then u rename back to the way anark want's it
i am clear once up-dated to sp3
we can ditch anark anyway's
your course's are listed as a >.pos< file
again anark
to make them usable u must rename to something window's wordpad or viewer will understand
stpcore that is the basic of it
anark never had anything to do with the sound >thk-god<
so u add basic .wav/.mp3 file's right in

We were able to find a quick hack for substituting players today. Played as Tiger, Arnold Palmer, etc and it was encouraging! Can't find a way to add extra players to the player selection screen without removing one in the process but any golfer is currently playable with our simple workaround! I wrote a tutorial in the PGA Owners thread if you care to take a look.

hi
stpcore
i did peek into your thread today
nice job on the walk through
if u read the lower part of my last post
i think u will find the info u ppl require
now i did remove the cmd's listed and do not get a dongle biatch
i do think i have to remove monitorstall.exe
a byte more work but i think we can kiss the dongle bye bye
most of the info for the dongle sit's in tour_golf_2006\shell
but it is messey in there
i will put up an exact .zip of which file's and where the are located to remove
and or u can just remane them to like 1gvrdonglemonitor.exe
the main proggie will not even see it
this way ppl will not have any fear of mucking up there game's
again perfect job on your thread

Great work. I hope you succeed! Keep us posted as I will be left with only one Team Challenge tower after Thursday and I can't locate the dongle! Lol.

I understand that but there is not a way to have those added players show on the Choose Golfer screen before choosing your course. In addition there is not a way to construct a player (body type, face, etc.) and display it either. So increasing the amount of players in the player.ini file doesn't help in displaying them properly with attributes or having them as selectable in the Choose Golfer screen as it seems only a limited number of folders can be displayed as is.

i contaced gobalvr for u ppl about the dongle
and i think the eng flipped a wig..the convo was to say the least not nice
"quote" if u think we are gonna do that then u are a idiot his word's were alot stronger then that
even told him they were sold on flebay for $45.00,click went the phone
get the drift ?
weird! where you just talking with a random someone in technical support or customer service?? perhaps we could do some digging and find the name of a higher up. I've encountered many --cream-filled twinkie-- people who work FE, (front end). Get a higher up name...ask the FE to be connected to them...no problems.
you should have heard my 45 minute argument with the FE over at money controls. ::) got a name, bypassed the FE, got what i needed immediately.

Hi
The good news is that so far with your help I've been able to successfully install Championship 2 with my dongle and all the drivers! :)
The problem now is when the game loads I have a few errors and I can't get past the enter coin screen.
Here are the errors as I navigate through the game screens:
Internet Explorer script error:
Line 872
Char 3

The files appear to be in the C: drive.
The only installation error I received was:
gacutil.exe has failed to start because MSVCR70.dll was not found.
Please could you suggest how to solve this issue? I'm so close to the machine working now!
Cheers

i expect all full realse to me of there source code next week >gobalvr<
vip ftp. which of course i am not allowed to hand out
but rather can and will modifiy.
i did have to turn over work to-date
which they went holy crap to
as most never fiquried out these thing's in the short time that i did >little bost there<,
and that to me is fair game,as i expect them to up-load it to there server
once APPROVED..
so yes all is well
and plan's are moving foward
What does that mean "source code"? How will that help you? So I'm getting the impression that GVR isn't really caring much about what happens with these games since they aren't selling dongles and they are allowing you to move forward after collaborating with them? Is that a safe assumption? I don't want to speculate and want to make certain we are all on the same page. Thanks Ed.
-
the source code can be easily modified and recompiled into a working program.
without source code, to change something in a program would require decompiling it with a program (which you end up with a bloated buggy estimation of the original software's code.) if you where compile the code again it may not even work.
with source code, everything is as it should be because it's what the original program was made with.

This thread that you are posting in is old and not current on what's happening with PGA Tour golf machines. I would suggest you visit the updated thread below in order to be current on what's happening with these machines. There is not a tutorial on how to bypass the dongle anywhere on this forum (just to save you some time).

Well excuse me Ed. I just figured I would save you (and the new member) some time since you had deleted all of your posts in this thread. I will stay out of here from now on.
One last thing...if you make mention of a program that bypasses the dongle for this member maybe you should give him/her some specifics versus being so very vague as I think this has caused numerous issues with other members in the past and is part of the reason I started the new thread. Just an idea. Hope you are doing well.
Take care.
