Trouble running TR.exe file

[RavenMac]

I have just recently bought a new little netbook for school and i wanted to run DJ Max Trilogy on it.
I installed the came through an iso with daemon tools lite 3 times and let the patches install all of the way to 1.23.
I restart the program and the screen flashes black like if the game would start, but an error window comes up.
I have 2 pics and an error report of everything.






The specs of the laptop are as follows:
Acer Incorporated
Intel Atom
CPU N270 @ 1.60 GHz
798 MHz, @GB of RAM
Running XP home
version 2002 service pack 3



hope someone here can help

P.S. I am new.

From the look of it...

Intel Atom
Acer

Looks like you're using an Aspire One?

That's what I'm running Trilogy on. The problem is, the default resolution of Trilogy is 1024x768 and netbooks only support 600 vertical pixels or less. To override the resolution it starts in... Download Panda's Trilogy tool here: http://www.bemanistyle.com/djmaxtr/djmaxtrv14.rar

Extract that to your Trilogy folder and make a new text file. Name it "Fix Trilogy.bat"
Edit it to say: "djmaxtr.exe /n 1024 600 1 60 0" minus the quotations. Then save it and run it.

If you want to play online, you'll have to set the language to Korean, which pretty much only affects the text boxes that tell you what you need to do on missions. To set it to korean, change that text file to say "djmaxtr.exe /n 1024 600 1 60 1"

You'll find that it runs flawlessly on the Aspire One, except you can't hit more than 3 buttons at once... so once you get into the higher level songs, you'll need a peripheral such as a controller or a USB keyboard in order to hit multiple notes.

THANK YOU!!!

The last site i asked this very question, they thought i had a pirated version of TR, but i said
It was updated to 1.23 witch just released just yesterday. Its impossible to run the game
without the usb profile key.

I'd never think that they would post a sticky about a problem that does not come up very often.
I skimmed over the stickys as well and could not find anything or i just didn't know what to look for...
But, Thanks

P.S. sorry for not reading entirely through all of the stickysts

I have no idea how to do this...

sry for double post cant find an edit button..

to use the panda's djmaxtr.exe tool, you have to use the command line.

First, download the program here and extract the program to your home folder. a.k.a. C:\documents and settings\"your user folder"

Now open the command window by opening the start menu, and opening the run window. Here, type "cmd" without the quotes, and press ok.

in the next window type "djmaxtr.exe/g" to open the program. From here on just type your resolution width (1024), height (600), refresh rate (60, which is the default), screen type (1 for widescreen), language (1 for english), and it should be done.

THANK YOU!!!

I love that program.
Took a wile to get it to work cus i didn't know how to start it with the cmd , but after a wile it made scene.

Whoever is an admin, you can lock this thread.

okay i have the same problem here, but this isnt helping me. i dont know if im just doing something wrong, but is there any way you can be more clear in your instructions?

@zelda

This will assume you downloaded panda's tool and put it into your DJ Max directory already. Also, you're DJ Max directory should be C:\Pentavision\DJMaxTrilogy\. If that's different you'll have to adjust accordingly.

1. Go to Start, then Run
2. In the Run window, type "cmd" and hit enter. (Don't type the quotation marks any time I use them)
3. A command window should open, resembling DOS. Type in "cd \"
4. The window should say C: now. Now type "cd pentavision"
5. Now it should say C:\Pentavision\. Type "cd djmaxtrilogy"
6. Now it says C:\Pentavision\DJMaxtrilogy\. Type in "djmaxtr.exe /n 1024 600 1 60 0"

This changes your resolution to 1024x600 and your game's language to Korean (for network play). Once you're done running this, you can exit the command window and run DJ Max through the normal launcher.

well i did exactly what you said....but i still get the error.

the laptop im running dj max on is a dell inspiron E1705

the specs:
OS: Windows XP Service Pack 3
Video Card: ATI Mobility Radeon X1400
RAM: 1022 MB (1 GB)
CPU: Genuine Intel(R) CPU
T2300 @ 1.66 GHz (2 CPUs)

--i even tried installing on my normal PC and it still had the same error.
--I have reinstalled a few times and no change.
--i have tried auto and manual patching.
--when the blue menu comes up after clicking on the launcher, i notice that it doesnt say the version on the bottom left, but on screenshots of other peoples theirs does.
--i have tried messing around with different combinations of settings with Panda's tool, but no change.
--i have tried running it in windowed mode with D3D Windower, but it still has the same error.

zelda >> your computer is not a netbook, and your screen resolution is 1440 x 900, so the problem is something else.

is it up to date ? (1.23)
if not, you should update it

[xzeldax3]

yeah i have tried updating. manually and with the automatic install.
ive even tried installing each patch so far to see if it would change, but it doesnt.

i really dont know what to do....

btw, at the start window that pops up when you run the launcher (where it auto updates and you can reset dj data) it doesnt say a version type at the bottom left....even with updates

heres my pics:

That's because it's a command line tool, you need to run it from a cmd shell, or at least run it with appropriate argument

but before trying that, you should know that this trick only works when is crash is caused by a screen resolution of under 1024*768

[airforcej03]

ok so help me, what should i change it to? or how, i got to the change the resolution part. and when it come up to widescreen, it loads for like 15 secs then just closes. i have a Dell inspiron 105 windows 7 resolution 1280x800 1.50 Ram
