Issues unresolved

Unable to remap controls

  • The InstallShield 16bits program cannot be executed on modern systems, the installation procedure cannot be fully completed, and the option to remap the game cannot be activated.

The issue cannot be corrected by registry manipulation, the game fails to read the registry values, whereas on windows XP and lower, it can. For reference, the default registry entries: [HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Gamebank\海底大戦争\1.0] "OPT_LEFT1"=dword:00000046 "OPT_UP1"=dword:00000054 "OPT_RIGHT1"=dword:00000048 "OPT_DOWN1"=dword:00000047 "OPT_MISSILE1"=dword:0000005a "OPT_TORPEDO1"=dword:00000058 "OPT_LEFT2"=dword:00000025 "OPT_UP2"=dword:00000026 "OPT_RIGHT2"=dword:00000027 "OPT_DOWN2"=dword:00000028 "OPT_MISSILE2"=dword:000000bc "OPT_TORPEDO2"=dword:000000be "OPT_MUSIC"=dword:00000001 "OPT_CDR"=dword:00000000 "OPT_SOUND"=dword:00000001

Issues fixed

Unable to Install

Decompress the game using an InstallShield decompressor, for example icomp95.

Command line (assuming D as CD-ROM drive) : icomp d:\Setup\data.z c:\KAITEI\*.* -d -i

Garbled Graphics and Weird colors

Use a DDraw wrapper like Aqrit's ddwrapper.

Settings for aqrit's ddwrapper: RealDDrawPath = AUTO BltMirror = 0 BltNoTearing = 0 ColorFix = 1 DisableHighDpiScaling = 0 FakeVsync = 0 FakeVsyncInterval = 0 ForceBltNoTearing = 0 ForceDirectDrawEmulation = 1 NoVideoMemory = 0 SingleProcAffinity = 0 ShowFPS = 0

CD Audio soundtracks not playing

Change your Windows drive letters to let the CD-ROM be at letter "D". The Game CD Check does not care for the drive letter, but the CD Audio playback expects the disk to be in the "D" Drive.
