FATK 64bit

FATK(Fighters Anthology Toolkit) is a super useful tool to done almost every modification/package by David C. Maschino (DuoSoft) in 1998. However, the tool is 16 bit arch, cannot work on 64 bit OS, such as Windows 7,8, 10, 11. for keeping use it, I have to maintain a T60 thinkpad with Windows 98 to keep it alive. 

In order to improve this issue, some approaches are used, such virtual machine. However, VM is large and not work flewless with local FA files, since it is another machine.

Therefore, I tried various ways to figure out how to, then I found it, 

1. otvdm (https://github.com/otya128/winevdm/releases), current 0.9.0

2. VBX files, which FATK installed in windows 98 (VB runtime dll)

I integrated the all stuff in a zip file as follow:

FATK 64bit download

usage:

unzip in anywhere, but not under some directories name contain "space" or too long, such as Program files, Fighter anthology. that will introduce the issue about outside program, such as mspaint.exe, can not get right file name and path, and cannot pass the file to edit.

for example, I unzip TOLLKIT.rar in C:\TOOLKIT, and my FA dir is C:\Program Files\Fighters Anthology. then after I unzip, before start FATK, I should go to c:\TOOLKIT\WINDOWS, find a config file names FATK.ini, and modified the blue line as follows and save it (other line no need to modify now)

next, find a batch file, in TOOLKIT dir, FATK.bat, double click it, it will call otvdmw to start FATK, and you will see a start splash screen and might see a screen to ask you to input the code as follows.

find a app: fakey.exe, and input the serial code, get the auth code and input to FATK

and then FATK will find the lib in FA dir and process them (take few seconds), after that, create a new project or open a existed project, then can use FATK in 64BIT OS.

and set help applicaions to edit image, listen sound, and edit mission ans text, as follows:

if you want get SH file out, put CACHE.M file (you can find it in TOOLKIT unzip folder) and put into C:\TOOLKIT\CACHE to replace , and you can find the SH file in mission menu, and add them into your project.

that's all, enjoy the edit and creation with FATK, let me know if there is any issue, thank you..^_^
