== Time Crisis Razing Storm (BLUS30528) ==
This section will show you how to set up Time Crisis Razing Storm (BLUS30528), which also includes the games Time Crisis 4 and Deadstorm Pirates.

* Create a folder named "BLUS30528" inside of the<span style="font-family:Courier;"> dev_hdd0\disc </span>folder  =>  D:\RPCS3\dev_hdd0\disc\'''BLUS30528'''
** Create a "disc" folder if it does not exist inside of the dev_hdd0 folder.

* Place the three Time Crisis Razing Storm files (PS3_GAME, PS3_UPDATE, PS3_DIDC.SFB) into the BLUS30528 folder.
[[File:RazingStorm 1.png|none|thumb]]
* Navigate to the BLUS30528\PS3_GAME\'''USRDIR''' folder and copy & paste the self files for Deadstorm Pirates (pirates_PS3.ppu.self), Razing Storm (razingstorm.self), and TC4 (timecrisis4.self) into the USRDIR folder.
** The self files are located inside of the DSP, game1, and game2 folders.
[[File:RazingStorm 2.png|none|thumb]]'''<u>NOTE</u>:'''  DO NOT UPDATE the game. Leave it at version 01.00.

==Fix for Time Crisis 4 white screen==
* In '''GPU tab''', enable "Write Color Buffers" option.
[[File:RPCS3Config.png|alt=RPCS3 Config menu on GPU tab, "Write Color Buffers" option is enabled|none|thumb]]

== Troubleshooting ==

* If your lightgun is not working in-game, make sure '''Controller 1''' has been set to '''Motion Controller No. 7'''
[[File:MotionControl7.png|none|thumb|Motion Controller No. 7]]
== AHK Example for Time Crisis 4 ==
To get past the calibration screen for Time Crisis 4, Razing Storm and Dead Storm Pirates, use this example AHK (thanks to ActionOnion for providing this). Update the paths for your setup.

When calibrating and you're happy with it press Return, then Space to go back to the menu and start the actual game.

* This AHK script will set the game to fullscreen and allow the Sinden border to show on top.
* For ''Time Crisis Razing Storm'', use<span style="font-family:Courier;"> razingstorm.self </span>in the launch script.
* For ''Deadstorm Pirates'', use<span style="font-family:Courier;"> pirates_PS3.ppu.self </span>in the launch script.

== AHK with savestates example (skip calibration) ==
This AHK has been provided by Prof_gLX and is used to load Deadstorm Pirates or Time Crisis Razing Storm from a previously saved state to bypass calibrating each time a game is loaded. It does not work with Time Crisis 4 and will result in a black screen at each point of the game where a video would be loaded. It also integrates code for a pedal that sends a keyboard input. You will need to modify it to suit your needs and settings. This guide works for the game serial BLUS30528 only.

'''Required steps before using the AHK:'''

* Start Razing Storm, calibrate your gun properly, reach the main menu of Time Crisis : Razing Storm and then press ''CTRL-S'' to make a savestate.
* Go in the savestates subfolder. Rename BLUS30528.SAVESTAT to BLUS30528 - TimeCrisis Razing Storm.SAVESTAT
* Start Deadstorm Pirates, calibrate your gun properly, reach the main menu of Deadstorm Pirates and then press ''CTRL-S'' to make a savestate.
* Go in the savestates subfolder. Rename BLUS30528.SAVESTAT to BLUS30528 - DeadStorm Pirates.SAVESTAT.

* Make the appropriate changes to the following AHK, one for Razing Storm and one for Deadstorm Pirates.
