3dfx Archive - Quake Arcade Tournament Edition security dongle

gdonovan YaBB Administrator Offline Infernal Collector Posts: 2361	Quake Arcade Tournament Edition security dongle 01.02.12 at 12:08:17 I'm trying to get an arcade machine running with this software but it required a security dongle hooked to the printer port. Anyone know a way around this? The installation looks like a regular Win95 with a glquake exe that has been modified. LBE is long out of business, no help there!

I must suppose that alert is due to the fact the game is looking for the dongle right?

If this is the case, that's reminding me when you try to run games like San Francisco Rush: The Rock without Quantum3D accelerators. In that case you need to edit the executable of the game.

Maybe this time could be the same as well?

You could try using a fixed/cracked game-exe. Of course it is not legal Hm... does anybody know how much "logic" behind that dongle is? I can't imagine that it's too complicated.

Actually I think the law states that it is legal after 2010, at least here in the US.

A modified exe is the way to go, but I don't know enough about such topics to attempt it. Pity for this to be lost as it is pretty unique.

I think Rottentreats may know a way around it, I remember seeing a video of Rush the Rock with a modified exe, pretty sure it was his video.

Gary, maybe you should upload the exe for people to r.engineer

also, here is reference stating that it's okay to run software w/o dongle in 2010

Posts: 226	Re: Quake Arcade Tournament Edition security dongle Reply #10 - 02.02.12 at 22:32:29 Perhaps it's good to upload the whole disc (perhaps with the exception of files that are comparable to the normal Quake version like ID0.PAK). And a long shot: did you try running a 'normal' QLQuake.exe rather than the one on disc?

Glquake.exe- http://www.thedodgegarage.com/downloads/glquake.rar

Yes I tried running the normal GLquake exe, the maps are changed enough were it won't load them even from the console. The game engine is also altered to play AVI's during attract mode.

(click to enlarge) In one of the strings (not pictured) mentions "sentinel.vxd" which according to this ftp://ftp.aimms.com/pub/Key/dongleproblems.pdf, "For Windows ME, 9x the following driver files are installed: • Sentinel.vxd (our parallel driver)" for a Sentinel SuperPro key

Goriath- is there any sort of license mentioned? There are Sentinel SuperPro emulators, just need license
