Bootfighter Windom XP SP-2 English Installer Released!

Submitted by Ryuusoul on Thu, 20/03/2008 - 12:16.

Giant Robots. One-on-one beam saber action. Macross Missile Massacre (tm). The only thing that would make this game better would be online multi-player capability. Oh yeah, it has that too.

This free Gundam clone offers surprisingly addicting gameplay and lets you indulge that fantasy you've always had ever since you saw your first Gundam anime. 3-D arenas pitting teams of mecha against each other makes the gameplay just like the Gundam Arcade game in Japan, which is similar to Armored Core and Virtual On, but you don't have to blow 100 yen each time you want to play.

Produced by Y. Kamada (YSK), who has given us his approval to make this installer, this game has the following ways of giving you your Gundam-piloting fix:

  • Survival Mode: Fight until you drop.
  • Practice Mode: Go ahead, bully the defenseless computer!
  • Team Battle Mode: Ever wonder what it was like to pit one army of mecha against another?
  • Blitz Tactics Mode: One army versus another, but with giant warships too.
  • Online Competition Mode: Because destroying your friends is always more satisfying.
  • Custom Pilot Creation: We all love the default cat pilots, but the game also includes the option of using your own avatar pic and different voiced effects, even your own! Don't worry, the cats aren't offended. Base Installer includes custom Ryuusoul pilot (my ego knows no bounds).

Watch gameplay movie here!

Notes:

You will need .NET Framework 2.0, DirectX 9 and run it in Windows 2000 Compatibility Mode to get the pre-game configuration screen.

To simplify the process, we have started with version 1.020 and created a stand alone installer with YSK's permission. In other words, all you need to download is this installer and it will install a full English version. We will release update patches incrementally as YSK provides updates for his original Japanese version. He does this quite frequently and we will do our best to keep up with his rolling patches.

Check the original site out here

The below files are not necessary to install the English version, but are provided as a courtesy to YSK (and for those with a burning desire to play in Japanese).

Note: For the confused, "Bootfighter Windom XP SP-2" is the title... not the OS you need to play...

All I had to hear was "Gundam Clone", it could have been the only words in the entire post. So did not expect this...congrads on the insane stealth tactics.

... I get a error after installing and reinstalling over and over and trying to run the game it says "This application has failed to start because d3dx9_32.dll was not found. Re-installing the application may fix this problem." Anyone else?

bloodywyvern Says:

Don't worry I had the same problem, all you have to do is install DirectX 9.0c (or 10 most likely). It's common to fall behind when your PC is playing either really old games, or no games at all.

Slash EX Says:

Agggggggghhhhhh
I have the same error said before.........
And my directX is 9.c...
But I don't know if I need to have the 2.0 .net Framework,cuz mine is 3.5
Helpz??

DominicanZero Says:

Slash EX: The releases of the .Net framework are cumulative, which means that the latest version will always have the libraries from the previous ones (or, in layman's terms, that if you have a later version, you don't need the earlier ones).

Also, I've had some trouble playing online -- namely, another player can connect to me, but while we're in the Lobby waiting for the match to start, I press F1 and get the Ready message, but he does so as well and nothing happens. Halp plox?

Slash EX Says:

So,why is it that it doesn't let me play?

Edit:Forget it,I downloaded the missing dll........
Now it works xD

anosan Says:

Anyone want to play online together?

Slash EX Says:

Me,But I can't seem to do it work........

anosan Says:

I need to make a game server, and you can join when it is on. Is there any specific time that you want to play? For me, mon-fri must be past 6:10 PM Pacific Time in California.

TakaJun Says:

Oh, I'd love a west coast server. I usually play at nights too.
There is a server thread here

Managed to play the game fine using Hamachi although be warnedm unless your playing it over a real LAN(not a virtual one like hamachi) the game wont be as smooth as it is against the CPU, I had a ping of less than 100(as did my friend) and it was still uncomfortably slow
