I've uploaded an updated version of the general walkthrough for Space Rogue (v 1.02). I've also uploaded a file editing walkthrough, basically how to hex edit the savefile as well as the data files that the game uses (such as MAPS).

The file editing walkthrough covers:
- How to change which ship you use
- How to get a super-powerful laser that you can't normally get (about triple the most powerful laser in the game)
- How to get practically instant accel/decel
- How to give yourself a lot of credits, armor, items, repute rating, relations with others (including the Manchi), etc.
- How to toggle the different RPG plots.

It also covers the MAPS file, which encodes all the base and star system information. From there, you can change the layout of the bases, or the cargo prices, or how often or which type of ship you'll encounter, and so forth.

Lastly, I also cover how the game displays the text, so that you can read through all the text that the game has, although I haven't been able to decode the actual text file (STRINGS).

The game is on site, please receive your reward:



Thanks again for your contribution, Vanshilar!

Yay! Finally..!

Thanks Vanshilar!

Just wanted someone to check that Dungeon Hack is now considered abandonware. If so, I can upload it. I don't have any particular extras for it, though, just the game, and my version still has the copy protection on it.

Paco says this:

Dungeon Hack

Sold at amazon marketplace
[APPROVED] Amazon marketplace dont count anymore

I think that the protection codes are around somewhere too, Vanshilar.

Good job on Space Rogue!
I love that game.

One thing that I do when trying to find out if a game is going to be accepted here is to check the oldwarez list.
Some of the games aren't on there, but that's usually cos I'm searching for one that's a conversion or something - it's a good list:

http://www.abandonia.com/en/oldwarez

Its got a legend to let you know what the status of the game is, as considered by Abandonia.
If you're unsure how to use it, the "click here" button doesn't work for me - it's pretty simple, though.

[Vanshilar]

Yeah it's listed in oldwarez as "sold", though, so wanted to make sure it should be listed as "abandonware".

[Saccade]

In that case, matey, I just work my way through the List of Special Games in Offers and Candidates for Unprotecion in Requests.

It's easier to ask, though, eh?

I think that Paco and Luchsen are pretty clued up, but anyone here seems to know their stuff or where to find out.
I still get lost and can't find things that I was looking at a few hours ago.

eg - I'm sure I saw the protection codes and now I can't find them again...

[Vanshilar]

Oh it's more that I want an official confirmation that it's okay, because I'm not sure if the candidates for unprotection thread or the oldwarez function has a higher precedence.

By the way, the copy protection can be found in the walkthrough on GameFAQs, as well as a very handy cheat.

[Paco]

The Candidate Thread check for Games that lost the Protection in Year 2009. then i have to check again if its sold, but some Site dont count anymore.

Amazon Marketplace and even CD Access dont count anymore.

Oldwarez is outdated. Its has a List from over 4000 Games these Status has to checked manually and thus edited from us Staff. With over 4000 Games one can lost the will to update the Oldwarez regulary.

@Vashilar i though the rules is ONE Thread for the Submitter? You have now 2 Thread (Dungeon Hack and Space Rogue). I will merge it, but please post in Future only in your Thread and not create a new Thread.

anyway you can Upload Dungeon Hack, while Saccade search for Copy Protection and upload it.

[Vanshilar]

Oops, sorry! For some reason I read it as a thread per game, not per submitter. Making it per submitter makes more sense, though, so that the forum isn't spammed by too many games.

Anyhow, I'll upload Dungeon Hack soon as I figure out what files aren't needed (the directory in its current form has a bunch of extraneous save files etc.). I probably won't get around to writing a review any time soon though, if anyone's willing to help with that.
