Several PS1 emulators do not support Konami Justifier Games. However some of the games can be patched in order to work with GunCon.

To do so you will need to download CDMage and the Nuvee patches linked below.

  • Area 51
  • Crypt Killer
  • Die Hard Trilogy
  • Die Hard Trilogy 2: Viva Las Vegas
  • Elemental Gearbolt
  • Lethal Enforcers I & II
  • Maximum Force

Downloads

Download CDMage 1.02.1 beta from Videohelp.com

Download Guncon patches from PCSX2 forum (included in the Nuvee plugin download)

CDMage

CDMage allows you to extract image file and convert them to a BIN/CUE format or convert multiple BIN files to a single one. This is necessary for these patches.

Patching

Convert the BIN files

If your game has only one BIN file skip this section. If your game has multiple BIN files they need to be converted to a single file

  • Load CDMage
  • Select 'File' from the top menu
  • Press 'Open'
  • Now navigate to the folder containing you game files
  • Select the CUE file and press 'Open'
  • Check the CUE file is selected (It should be highlighted in blue in the top left corner)
  • Go to 'File' and 'Save As' (if 'Save As' is missing make sure you are using the beta version)
  • Save the converted files somewhere appropriate
  • Click 'Save'
  • Click OK leaving all options as default
  • Let it convert it for you and once it's done you should have a single CUE and single BIN file

Patch the game

  • Navigate to your downloaded Nuvee patches
  • Open the 'ps1 - guncon conversions' folder
  • Open the folder for the game you wish to patch
  • Open the 'bin' folder inside the game folder and you should see one or more patches (sometimes they have different regions etc.) and an exe file called "ppf-o-matic"
  • Load the 'ppf-o-matic' exe and in the app that pops up you will see two path boxes
  • Next to the top box 'ISO File' press the little floppy disk button next to it and navigate to your converted game files
  • Select the BIN file and press 'Open'.
  • Now press the disk icon next to the 'Patch' box
  • Navigate to the relevant patch in the nuvee folder matching the region of the game you are patching
  • Press 'Open'
  • Press the 'Apply' button to patch the game

Calibration

Please be aware that Justifier games did not have calibration screens like the Guncon ones so the games aim may be out this is not a fault with the gun.
