How to get your hands on Zephyr?

Post by Lawfer »

That's the official website: http://lss.ath.cx/ It's down right now, but I did access it before.

The game is from Little Space Software and some info here: http://shootthecore.moonpod.com/databas ... e+Software

Did anyone ever get their hands on it? Or at least played it?

There is also a Revival Zephyr in the works.

Oh I see now, lol thanks for uploading a virus/hacking tool and renaming it "ZEPHYR" very clever ^_^. Good thing I know how to reboot in safe mode to be able to erase that crap.

Oh lol sorry then, but when I saw the thing didn't even want to be erased (when I tried to erase it, I was getting a message saying "encryption refused" or something in the line) I was like "hum, that's what spyware usually do when I try to erase them". So what should I do to run it? Change my settings to Japanese?

yes, you need to open "control panel" go to "Shortcut to Regional and Language Options" then to "advanced" and choice the "japanese".

then, you need unpack game again, and look to filename in "bmp" folder, they must looks like this -

Yes I already know how to do that, japanese online games requires that :)

I just tried it and what a nice game! But lol why the hell am I invincible? Stuff are touching me and I don't loose lives and after killing my first boss (the one with 2 blue heads shooting at you) the screen turned white and the 2 ships become white and the rest of the screen black lol

Like you said it's very buggy and at the start screen it says "debug version"

Thanks alot for sharing!
