Hissatsu Pachinko Station

I think I should explain what the file similarities are for the bunch of Hissatsu Pachinko Station games that have been added to the main page.

From the credits sequences that are currently available for these games, we know that Dcruise staff worked on 3, 6 and 7. Here's the file structure for 3:

GEN.EXE
H3SYSMAN.EXE
SLPS_017.41
SYSTEM.CNF
DC.DC
ST.ST
DATA/
OKDT/
SYSTEM/
DUMY.DMY

6:

H3SYSMAN.EXE
H5GAK.EXE
H5JAM.EXE
OKOZUKAI.EXE
HP6.S
ST.S
SYSTEM.CNF
SLPS_021.44
DATA/
OKDT/
SYSTEM/
DUMY.DMY

and 7:

SYSTEM.CNF
SLPS_024.08
H3SYSMAN.EXE
H7CHU.EXE
H7BHV.EXE
H7FNP.EXE
SYSTEM/
DATA/
HP7.S
ST.S
DUMY.DMY

To summarise, the main similarities between the above games are the presence of H3SYSMAN.EXE as well as the SYSTEM/ and DATA/ folders.

So with that in mind, here's the file structure of now6:

SYSTEM.CNF
SLPS_029.99
H3SYSMAN.EXE
HNARE.EXE
SYSTEM/
DATA/
DUMY.DMY

now8 and now9 are pretty much identical to now6 with the exception of the PS1 serial number and the HNARE.EXE file being swapped out for the respective games' pachinko data. Considering they all have the aforementioned files, I'm pretty certain that these games are also developed by Dcruise.

There's two other games that have similar file structures but differ from the above formula. Here's 9 (not to be confused with now9):

SYSTEM.CNF
SLPS_027.65
H9MENU.EXE
H9LEMI.EXE
H9USHI.EXE
SYSTEM/
DATA/
HP9OP.S
DUMY.DMY

Although the files are renamed the contents are roughly the same as the other games, but this one could probably use some further investigation.

And Toyomaru Special happens to contain 3's data, but since it's a compilation of three Hissatsu Pachinko Station games (likely developed by different companies) I think it's pretty unlikely that Dcruise has anything to do with that one.

This method of comparison probably isn't foolproof, but to me chances are these games were developed by Dcruise. I've added all but Toyomaru Special to the list. Marklincadet (talk) 08:55, 8 August 2021 (UTC)
