-= Attention! How to make Requiem of Hell work on nokia 6600!...sort of =-

[adamtrance85]

Hello everyone!
Ok I installed Requiem of Hell on my Nokia 6600 and started it up and then it happened as I expeted: as soon as the video came it restarted. So I started investigating.
Someone mentioned that maybe the phone cant play the video files? So I renamed the video files in the Requiem of Hell's game folder and started the game. This time the phone didnt find the movie files and instead of restarting it just went beck to the menu. So I thought maybe I can skip the movie by pressing "7" on the keypad. So I start the game and I keep pressing "7" fast and I get to the menu but then it restarts as usual. I noticed that everytime the game closes it says app closed DB_Mixer or somehting like that.
At that time I had my mobile on silent so maybe since it had something to do with mixer I instantly thought of sound. So I put the profile on outdoor and started the game. Same thing: closes and restarts. But then I noticed that when I have my phone on the outdoor profile the keypads make sound right? But when I enter the game the keypads dont make sounds anymore. So I was thinking maybe I should keep the sound on while in the game?
So I got Antimosquito, installed it, started it and loaded the game and what happeden? The same thing as usual...
So I nearly gave up when I had one last resource - Call a free number and start the game. I called one of my operators free info number here in Sweden and started the game. And Voila! It worked!!! So I started playing but as soon as the info line was over and the call was ended the ame instantly closed.
Hmm...there is somehting wierd here I was thinking. Maybe it has to do somehting with the games sound? (By the way there was no sound in the game when I entered in calling mode) So I call the line again and enter the game and in the sound menu I lower the music and sound sounds to minimum. I wait till the call is over and the game closes and restarts. WTF? Why? So I go in the game again, and in the sound menu I noticed somehting that explains everything why the game doesnt work! Under the music and sound volume there is and option called "Mute when in call"
Aha! Now I get it! Now I understod everything. The game doesnt start because it cant use its sound on our mobiles. But when in a call mode it tunes it off and doesnt use its sound and therefore it works fine. And when the call is over it doesnt "mute" anymore and wants to bring the sound back but then it quits. Thats why Antimosquito and other sound apps didnt work because they wherent "calls" and didnt force the sound of Requiem of Hell to mute its sound.

Well for the ones not believeing I made some pictures but I had to be quick otherwise the call ends. Thats why they are a bit blurry. But I hope you can see them though. Plus I had to crop and resize them so they wont be too long to load

Now what need to do, is find a way to make the phone call on a free line forever or try to modify the game files by removing its sound.

/me hands a beer to adamtrance85

what extensions are the sound filenames?

[adamtrance85]

well the sound files are imbedded in the game file...so the only way to remove them is to hack the game .dat file...but since im not a programmer i dont know how to do it :-(

[v7e6j5]

As far as i still know. ROH still does not work on the 6600. It may or may not ever be able 2 work on the 6600. Only time & the best crackers will tell.

[Klonstar]

...good job adamtrance85!...
the world needs guys like you :wink:
I thinkt that removing the sound files won´t be a real problem for hackers...

Lol what are you talking about dude??? I just PROVED that Requiem of Hell DOES work on the nokia 6600! Look at the pictures I posted. It just needs the sound thing fixed and it will be playable.

Just ignore him, everyone else does :P

The guys at #ngage released the tools that they used to mod red faction, maybe something in there would be useful for hacking the dat.

Each .dat is packed different, but we have not checked the RoH one out much yet anyway. All this posted is nothing particularly new though is it...this sound problem has been known since Fifa 2004.

Oh, and thinking about it....removing the sound files of the game probably wouldnt work. If you remove sound from other games, it will still load whatever .dll is needed for them, and that would be the problem i assume.

yappo,yippo or whatever u call yourself. If u got a issues with me. Then PM, stop showing ur true colors.

[adamtrance85]

Well maybe if we remove the sound it still wont work. But another way to fix it could be that we should force the game not to load DB_Mixer. Or it was DR_Mixer im not sure i cant see it so clearly when the game closes. You can only see it for a short time and the screen blurs.

When you make a call, the game turns off DB_Mixer, but soon as the call is over the game loads the DB_Mixer and then it restarts the game. So maybe some hacker can bypass the game from loading DB_Mixer...cant be too hard... :confused:

My mistake their. I misread what u had posted.

[iNF|NiTY]

DB_Mixer huh? let me load up IDA and have a look for it.

[adamtrance85]

Hey what is IDA? a dissasembler? Can you direct me to some info on that? cheers :)

[iNF|NiTY]

You should come on #ngage, ive found other interesting stuff you might want to check out.

Its IDA Pro btw, google it :)

i couldnt find anything there .... :roll:

[PsychiatricHelp]

You guys have free info numbers in Sweeden! Damn we have to pay through the nose here.

[chintooo]

For ppl who do not have the toll free number ... what you can do is call ur mobile phone from another number ...
I played the game for around 20 minutes and as i hung up the game restarted again ... the game played perfectly without any crashes or colour glitches till the call lasted ...
so its possible to play requiem as long as u like but it costs $$$ :P ..
i think this can be easily modified .... :grin:
I loved the game ...
just wish i could call on my mobile phone for free :)

[celfone_freak]

haha! you know, here in phils., there are unlimited calls for 5 days for only 100pesos or 2$! the thing is, i don't have ROH!!! gee, isn't it ironic? hehe!!!

[adamtrance85]

haha, and for me the free call only last one or two minutes...so i can only see the beggining of the game :P
But im sure someone can fix it!

[BizzyRok]

does the game work when the phone is ringing but not answered

[adamtrance85]

i dont think so...it has to be in call
