IFAIK GD is a graphics libary for PHP,
so maybe you need some sort of webserver running php+gd libaries, which wouldn't suprise me, it being a LBO game ;-(

I'm not convinced that it's a copy of GD. Here are the hooks into the library:

int GDResSrvLoad(wchar_t *)
int GDResSrvUnload(void)

From that we can infer that something is being loaded but only an integer is returned. This would usually indicate success or failure only.

GDResourceServerAPI.dll exports a single method:

class IGDResourceServerAPI * getResourceServerAPIInstance(void)


Each of the game executables uses these.

Well fairplay for haveing a go,
sound's like you know your stuff.
At least someone knows what their doing

Right iv'e just realized what i'm seeing here,so if it gets up and running does this mean we can play rainbow riches and all the other triple 7 machines??.

hopefully, but no one is stepping forward, are they?!

if yer that desperate to get them running right away get working on it

I am useless at programming, everything I touch blows up, my mate after some convincing has decided to help me, I am under the impression we are missing some crucial files.

[CodeMonkey]

If you load any of the game executables into Dependancy Walker, you can see that they all require GDResourceServerAPI.dll which in turn requires GDResSrv.dll.

This isn't a Winodws library, it's made by the same people that wrote the games and I believe that it's the core of the gaming platform, along with GDIgm.dll

[kriss]

...yes but wheres this GDResourceServerAPI.dll file?

[c0nfu53d]

Can open, worms everywhere. Good grief. I suppose it's not as simple as dumping them from the machines is it?

There can be all sorts of settings in the user profile, registry, fixed directories or network shares that can control the behaviour of the application.

A company I used to work for produce an application which requires a particular file to be in your WINNTSystem32 directory and for that file to contain the expiration date of your license expressed in seconds from 01/01/1970 00:00.

It's a stupid way of doing it, not least because it creates the file if it can't find it. On a Windows XP machine, it sticks out like a sore thumb

[Geddy]

I assume the required files are on the 'other' HDD which I'm led to believe is a 'server' of sorts. The drive I have has 3 partitions on it. System, service and data.

A good idea is to dump the PATH envrionment variable and lookup which directories "don't belong".

The PATH is searched by the OS when it's trying to locate DLL's for a given application.

[Fruity_Goodness]

Get on the CodeMonkies .... Crack on and we can ALL be winning vast sums of cash on psuedo-FOBTs before christmas. Good times!!!!

[exibizarep]

By any chance is this what you are talking about??

If so someone has cracked it.

If not then feel free to tell me to keep my beak out!! :-)

[Matty.N]

yeah thats it, the person wont give it out sadly

[jaybee]

The games in the Youtube link, are from AWP style cabs, like "The Player" and not from bookies FOBT.

[pwdteddy]

Any news on getting this working?
