BlazBlue: Continuum Shift FAQ/Setup guide

BBCS was leaked onto the internet somehow, and modified to run on PC. It is the arcade version, so it lacks functions like options and netplay, but the game runs smooth.

FAQ is at the bottom of the page for troubleshooting.

1: Obtaining BBCS
There is an original torrent, and an HTTP download below.

The torrent is can be found here. Inside is a zip file. The password to unencrypt it is ‘shoryu’ without quotes.
The game has no netplay option, so be nice and seed the torrent while you’re playing.

I have uploaded the game to my site for people who prefer an HTTP download. The files can be found here

2: Configuration and troubleshooting
Once you download and extract BBCS, you should have a folder similar to this.

To make it easy to run the game, make the folder a simple subdirectory, such as
C:\BBCS

To run the game, you have to use the command prompt.
Use the command ‘cd’ to change the directory to the game’s directory.

If the game folder is BBCS in your root, then type
cd C:\BBCS
Otherwise, you will have to set the directory to where your game folder is.

2A: Setting up controls

To setup controls, you will have to run the typex_config program.
You can do this by simply typing typex_config in the command prompt when you are set to the correct subdirectory.

When it asks for the first 3 yes/no questions, say no to each.
When it asks for a scratch drive remap path, press enter to skip, unless you know how to setup your controls using this (which I highly doubt you do).
Afterwards, it will go through each button, and ask you to map the button by pressing it.
If you have trouble configuring your controls with this, refer to the FAQ.

2B: Running the game

After you have configured your controls, you should be ready to play!
You will have to use the command prompt set to the subdirectory.
Then, type ‘typex_loader game.exe’

The game will run in fullscreen, and you can start enjoying the game.
If you have an issue getting the game to function, refer to the FAQ.

However, the arcade board system it runs on have the following specs.

I can’t get my controller to work for the config!
Depending on your chipset, USB devices may not work. xpadder is a simple solution.
If you’re using a PS3 controller, use DS3 tool or MotionJoy.

The game isn’t registering diagonal moves!

The closest you can get to training is sparring mode. At the title screen, hold C+D, then press start. This lets you choose your opponent and difficulty.

Isn’t there an easier way to start the game?
Open notepad, and put ‘typex_loader game.exe’ without quotes.
Save it as a .bat file in your game folder. Clicking this bat can now run the game.
Make a shortcut of it and place it where you like.
