PC version Setup for Windows 7/10/11

Hello there!

So, you want to setup the game and found out the classic disney setup appears to have been broken for Windows 10/11? Or perhaps you found out the game isn't quite running as well as you remember?

No worries! In this guide we'll go step-by-step through the process of setting up the game, working out all the kinks and stuff that might pop up.

# Versions supported by this guide

This guide was particularly tested with the following versions/regions of the game:

- **US**
- **UK**
- **PT/BR**

In the event you're trying to run a french (**FR**) version of the game, I have to unfortunately inform you that it comes included with DRM (ie. copy-protection) which will prevent you from running the game even if you follow the steps detailed in this guide.

Luckily, since these older DRM versions aren't very effective, it's possible to replace certain encrypted parts of the code with the code form other versions to reconstruct the .exe file as it should be to effectively render the DRM harmless.

*For legal reasons*, I won't be providing a fixed version of the .exe file with this modifications, but feel free to DM me ( @MrMonsh ) either here or through discord and I'll be happy to assist you in performing these modifications on your own. :)

- As a workaround, you can also use all the french version files and just replace the .exe file with one from another version and it should work just fine. You'll probably notice that the text isn't translated, but everything else should work as expected.

Once you have dealt with the issue of the DRM, you can proceed with the rest of the guide.

# Step-by-step manual setup

- Insert/Mount an image of the game's CD. You can do this using a third party tool like DAEMON Tools Lite for example, but any tool will do.
- I installed my game inside "C:\blosc" so I'll be using it as a reference from now on for this guide. With that in mind, from here onwards replace "C:\blosc" with whichever directory you want to install the game to for the next instructions.
- Create directory "C:\blosc"
- Copy the contents (not the directory itself) of "<CD>\Setup\buzzly\hd" to "C:\blosc".
- Copy the contents (not the directory itself) of "<CD>\Setup\buzzly\cd" to "C:\blosc\data".
- Open the start menu, search for cmd, run Command Prompt as administrator
- Execute this set of commands *one-by-one* (ignore the error message that might show up after executing the first 4 commands):

```
reg delete HKCU\Software\Classes\VirtualStore\MACHINE\SOFTWARE\travellerstalesbuzz2k /f

reg delete HKCU\Software\Classes\VirtualStore\MACHINE\SOFTWARE\WOW6432Node\travellerstalesbuzz2k /f

reg delete HKLM\Software\travellerstalesbuzz2k /f

reg delete HKLM\Software\Wow6432Node\travellerstalesbuzz2k /f

reg add HKLM\Software\travellerstalesbuzz2k /reg:32 /v path /f /d "C:\blosc\data\\"
```

- Close the CMD window.
- Run C:\blosc\buzz.exe

...in the event you get a "Unable to enumerate suitable device" pop up when you try to run the game, then do the following:

- Open buzz.exe in a hex editor. You can use any hex editor you like, but I personally use HxD.
- Go to offset "000B35D0".
- From column "0B" onwards, replace **75 10 F6 C5 01** with **E9 18 01 00 00**.
- Save the changes, then close the hex editor.

As an additional step, you can enable higher resolutions above 1024x768. To achieve this, you can do the following:

- Open buzz.exe in a hex editor just like before.
- Go to offset "00035D00"
- From column "0E" onwards, replace **76** with **EB**.
- Save the changes, then close the hex editor.

Bear in mind, while this enables resolutions even higher than 1920x1080, I've not been able to run the game above that resolution *when running in fullscreen mode*. More on this later.

# Framerate Fix

Now, so far everything is all fine and you should be able to run the game alright... but you'll probably notice that the game doesn't quite hit 60 FPS out of the gate. This is due to how the game handles the framerate internally (which uses some outdated methods), and thus requires a small fix to run properly.

Fortunately, @hdc0 has been able to adapt the ToyStory2Fix so that it can work for BLoSC as well! This is due to both Toy Story 2 and BLoSC sharing a lot of similarities between them. To apply the fix, do the following:

- Download the original ToyStory2Fix zip file from the following link: https://github.com/RibShark/ToyStory2Fix/releases/tag/v1.1.0
- If buzz.exe is located at C:\blosc, you should distribute the ToyStory2Fix files like so:

```
C:\blosc\buzz.exe
C:\blosc\dsound.dll
C:\blosc\dsound.ini
C:\blosc\scripts\ToyStory2Fix.asi
C:\blosc\scripts\ToyStory2Fix.ini
```

- After you've distributed the files accordingly, you should replace the "ToyStory2Fix.asi" file with the altered version of the file, which is the one modified by @hdc0. You can find it in the Resources section of this leaderboard, through this link: https://www.speedrun.com/blosc/resources

# Extra files

As an extra, you can also download another zip file that includes:

- All the missing soundtracks that are absent from the PC version (ripped from the PS1/Dreamcast versions of the game).
- A few dlls that will allow you to run the game in windowed mode.
- As a corolary from being able to run the game on windowed mode, you can now utilize resolutions above 1920x1080 without having the game crash on you, so that's also cool! You can download said zip file from the following link: https://github.com/MrMonsh/BLoSC/releases/tag/v1.0.0
- Simply extract the contents from the zip file directly as-is into the root folder of the game (where buzz.exe is contained).
- Once extracted, do the following: Open dgVoodooSetup.exe (at the root folder of the game).
- In this new window, check the setting "Config folder / Running Instance" and make sure it's pointing to the root folder of the game ("C:\blosc"). If it's not, click the ".\" button to the right of this setting (and it should automatically set it to the correct path).
- In the event the game still refuses to run windowed, you can try using DxWnd instead: https://sourceforge.net/projects/dxwnd/

# Other useful info

- In the event you decide to configure a controller, you'll notice that when you restart the game and reach the start screen where it says "Press Return", it won't actually let you through by pressing the Return key. Turns out, you need to press the **F2** key.
- Level unlock cheat: Go to level select, press & hold the up key and type ***zebnebula*** or ***thebarfliesfiver***. This should instantly give you 65 medals and unlock all levels.

# Special thanks

Big thanks to @hdc0, @Shtrudel and @Steb for providing most of the info/fixes/files needed to make this guide a reality!

Time Trial Skip Rundown/Setup

Hey there! So, you want to perform that sweet instant time trial win glitch and be the talk of town? No problem! We got you covered in this guide. Let's dive into it!

# Glitch Explanation

So, the gist of it is that the game has 2 internal values, which we will call **g_NumWP** and **g_TestWP**.

### **g_NumWP** *(Int32, address 0x891CA0)*

This value is static in the context of a level and in essence tracks the amount of waypoints present in the current level. Changes whenever you load into a new level.

### **g_TestWP** *(Int32, address 0x892154)*

This value is an index into the array of waypoints. It gets incremented 6 times in each frame, except when the game is paused. When its value reaches the number of waypoints, it gets reset to 0. The code for this looks like the following:

```
...
++g_TestWP;
if (g_TestWP == g_NumWP) g_TestWP = 0;
...
```

Note that it checks for **g_TestWP == g_NumWP**, not **g_TestWP >= g_NumWP**! This means it doesn't reset values greater than the number of waypoints in a level, in which case the value will keep incrementing *to infinity and beyond*, and when this happens you can trigger the instant wins.

Now, you might be thinking something along the lines of "well, if the value always wraps back around to 0 everytime it is equal to the amount of waypoints, how do we get past that?", which is a fair concern.

The answer relies on another glitch: certain levels (particularly, all time trials and XR challenges) forget to reset **g_TestWP** to 0 when you enter them, meaning that you can take a **g_TestWP** value from one level that has a higher amount of waypoints to another one that has less, which would land us in said scenario.

# Waypoints per Level

Knowing all that info is great and all but, how on earth do we know the amount of waypoints in each level? The game certainly doesn't tell us that info.Well, not to worry, as we have already been exploring that with Cheat Engine and we noted down said values so that you don't have to (thanks @Steb!). Here's the values for each level:

- **Jo-Ad 1:** 103
- **Flamar 1:** 98
- **Canis Lunis 1:** 149
- **Karn 1:** 146
- **Trade World 1:** 229
- **Jo-Ad 2:** 116
- **Karn 2:** 161
- **Ice World:** 164
- **Bathyos:** 149
- **Flamar 2:** 132
- **Trade World 2:** 153
- **Canis Lunis 2:** 206
- **Planet Z:** 185
- **Zurg's Throne Room:** 10

As you probably noticed, Flamar 1 has the lowest amount of waypoints while Trade World 1 has the highest, making them ideal levels to setup this glitch!

Flamar 1 having the lowest also explains how we were randomly getting the glitch going on that specific level, since entering Flamar 1 TT from any other level has a chance of triggering it (since any other level has a chance of leaving **g_TestWP** above Flamar 1's tiny amount of waypoints).

# Glitch Setup Steps

Given our current knowledge, the steps to perform the glitch are as follows:

1. Identify two levels, one of them with less waypoints than the other (the greater this difference, the better the odds of pulling this off).
• I recommend using Trade World 1 and Flamar 1 for being the levels with the highest and the lowest amount of waypoints, respectively.
2. Enter the level with the higher amount of waypoints. For this step, it doesn't matter which version of the level you use, it can be either the regular level or time trial/XR.
• If you want to be safer, my personal suggestion is to use the regular level, as it'll reset **g_TestWP** to 0 and thus will make your timing consistent, no matter what level you're coming from.
3. Leave the level when **g_TestWP** has a value greater than the amount of waypoints of the other level. With the rapid increments this value has, this usually doesn't take more than half a second, so really you want to leave the level ASAP, literally.
4. Now enter the level with less waypoints, but making sure you only pick either Time Trial or XR.
5. Stay until **g_TestWP** has a value greater than the amount of waypoints in any other level (we'll talk about this shortly). This usually takes 1-2 seconds at most (and there's no harm overshooting it, so no harm in staying longer if feeling unsure).
6. Leave the level.

If you follow these steps correctly, you should now have the glitch active! You can now enter Trade World 1 Time Trial and (if you managed to pull this off correctly) you should be able to get that coveted ***00:00:00*** medal.

# List of levels affected by this glitch

- **Trade World 1:** You instantly beat the Time Trial.
- **Trade World 2:** You automatically beat the Time Trial if you go through the pipes to your left, right at the very beginning of the level. ***However***, if you enter Trade World 2 right after setting up the glitch *for the first time since launching the game*, you instantly win as soon as you enter the level and skip the usual prompts at the beginning.
- **Canis Lunis 2:** You automatically win the Time Trial once you reach the first bomb room.
- **Planet Z:** You automatically win the Time Trial by getting hit by a bomb under you while under the third drone on the ramp with the ledge grab (middle of the level). ***VERY FINNICKY***. Photo of the spot: https://imgur.com/Js4JaAh
- **Planet Z (bis):** If you're unfortunate enough to miss the timing for that first spot on **Planet Z**, you can have a second chance by going to this next spot on this photo: https://imgur.com/XjG19mh

No other levels (as far as I can tell) are affected in this way by this glitch. As stated previously, regular Boss levels reset the values in question (meaning they'd never be affected by this) and since XR versions of the levels don't work on the basis of "getting to a waypoint" but rather "gathering parts", they aren't affected either.

- **Setup Waypoints Glitch** (again, got reset on previous Canis Lunis 2)
- Canis Lunis 2 - Time Trial (with skip)
- Planet Z - Boss, Aliens

~~...with this route in mind, you'll be performing this glitch's setup right after doing regular Canis Lunis 2. At this point, you can proceed to go to regular Trade World 1 and take it from there.~~

~~Notice I'm not using Trade World 2 TT. This is by design, since it takes longer to reach the instant win point for TW2 TT than to just finish any other challenge level in this route.~~

Thanks to @MasterLeoBlue we have found that Trade World 2 TT is actually faster than Canis Lunis 2 TT, so now it's included into the route. Great stuff!

With this new route, the idea is that you'll perform the glitch setup two times: once after beating regular Trade World 2 (which you'll use to beat both Trade World 1 TT and Trade World 2 TT instantly) and then another time after beating regular Canis Lunis 2 (to beat Canis Lunis 2 TT quickly).

• The reason you have to set it up 2 times is that if you try to do all 3 challenges after Canis Lunis 2 to do it only once you won't be able to access Canis Lunis 2 at all (since it requires 30 medals and you'll be just 1.5 short of that goal by that time).
