Hmmm... I bought this MagicEngine thing just so I could play Mirai Shonen Conan... and now I see that it doesn't work. Has anyone been able to get it running? Me & my kid are huge fans of the old Anime series, we are dying to play this game! Please help!

Thanks in advance.....

Jerome

The game works in ME; you'll have to be more specific about the problems you're encountering.

I have ME 1.0, just downloaded it last week. I am running it on windows xp... I've tried it with a burned CD, and also using that Daemon virtual CD drive thing. No matter what I do the game crashes at the end of the little intro movie thing, even if you try to skip it. It's the same problem that I see mentioned here and there in old postings on this forum. But I also see later postings that say the bug was fixed. Let me know if there's other information that would help...

Yes, the intro bug was fixed, but it's possible that it was reintroduced in v1.0 (this version has a completely rewritten emulation engine), try with the old version of MagicEngine (v0.99b5).

hey thanks, that worked! But... it seems like the key I bought isn't working. I copied the KEY.DAT file from the 1.0 to the .99b5 folder but I'm still getting the 5-minute limit. Do I need a different Key?

I think old keys for ME 0.9 (PCE.KEY) are compatible with 1.0 but not the other way around.

The keys are compatible but they don't have the same file name, rename your KEY.DAT file to PCE.KEY and all should be ok.
