PCSX2 can emulate Drakan2 successfully from very beginning to end (with proper settings of renderer). On my machine it has steady speed of 24 - 26 fps. Unfortunately sounds are synchronized to 50 fps and are very choppy. Nevertheless if you have dual core processor and GeForce 8+ you could give it a...

Unfortunately I've way miscalculated size of the problem. PS2 uses more than 32 registers, each of 64 bits of memory. On x86 (standard) PC we have only 8 registers, all of them are 32 bits. Translations of assembly code are next to impossible, and manual transcribing will use far more time than I ca...

Okay, since there were no replies on Queen Shilla bug, I'm going to look closer to Drakan2: TAG. There is chance, although very, very weak that I may be able to port it to PC in few years (hopefully Sony will drop it's support to this time). I don't want to break copyrights, so I'll never put to you...

Huh, it was hard nut to crack. But finally it is done :-) First, if you'd used earlier version of 445++ use this downgrade: http://dl.getdropbox.com/u/82366/drakan_downgrade_445%2B%2B.exe than, after reverting to 445 download this and install: http://dl.getdropbox.com/u/82366/drakan_patch_445%2B%2B....

downgrade 445++ can be applied to both 445+ and 445++

Oh, strange. I've noticed that now too... it seems that freelook doesn't work at all and that's the reason. Unfortunately I had to format all my partition today because of some nasty virus and I don't have backup of that files (they are too fresh). But I'll try to reproduce second version of patch f...

This will be much more difficult, though. On both previous problems we had game crash, so I could find the exact code line where game hangs-up. Now I must check much more code to find that one which are connected with problem. And it can be level design problem as well. But enough of this complainin...

Okay, Arokh's Twin - could you put this patch and downgrade on Arokh's Lair? Thank you in advance http://dl-client.getdropbox.com/u/82366/drakan_patch_445%2B%2B.exe This patch solves Alwarren bug and initial cutscene crashing. It can be applied on both 445 and 445+ versions. If you would like to pla...

Okay, I recived mail with saved state and been able to recreate problem.
And, most important, I was able to find solution. Now I'm testing it and propably tomorrow (standard GMT time) it will be released to public.

Okay, I gained access to some new hardware and I'm going to try to fix Alwarren bug (if it happen to occur on these machines). Could someone send me saved game state just before Alwarren crash?

I really hates to have two replies in row, but you didn't answer my post... :P I'm currently learning assembly for serious (as if I did not earlier ;-) ) and, as I believe in "Learning by doing" I'm open to suggestions on enhancements to Drakan. If it won't be too time consuming, I promise...

Net code, huh? This is most difficult thing to patch, because we had to not only understand how Drakan works but also how it's net protocols works. And this is challenge for at least few weeks, which we don't have to spare. But there is chance that we will be able to help with editor. If it won't be...

To tell the truth there are two main problems with that: First, there are problems with law. If we start making addon to Drakan, we can end with some legal action taken by Surreal against us. I saw already few such project (related to other games) which ended like this. Second, both Kronikarz and I ...

Okay, here is downgrade from 445+ to 445 for playing in multi player: http://dl.getdropbox.com/u/82366/drakan_downgrade_445%2B.exe I was unsure if Drakan checks CRC of Dragon.rfl. Unfortunately it does. -=List of raw assembly changes=- We found out that Frame capture feature of 2D GUI used by Drakan...

* multi player, not multilayer of course. Stupid dictionary doesn't know that word and made auto correction
