wow, nice info. but really joey the passion could be paly online? how? btw, if konami release a new version, i prefer both of them. story and collection card mode. so we can collect the card in two ways, by story battle, and by skirmish mode. ^^

Hi Ryou

Yes there is a trick to get this Joey the passion to play online, you can read how to do it here use this method to play with your friends or you can use the same method and join one of the Communities of Yu Gi oh players, I used to play with them until they created a lot of new not standard rules and banned a bunch of interesting cards.

I totally approve with you about your view of the new Yu Gi Oh Pc game, but I would add anime graphics ( Konami can do it !), Japanese and english voices, not very long coversations, a lot of cinematics, and 1000’s of cards. thats how I wish it would be.

Thanx that solve one problem but do you a solution for XP cause I have the problem on a machine running XP

PsMan on Thu, 28th May 2009 5:49 pm


Wow. It worked for me with no problem at all in many Xp machines, can you give me some more details?, I’m sure I can help

Selzar on Thu, 28th May 2009 5:56 pm


Exactly the same thing. After I install the game and try to launch it, all I hear is the intro music but I don’t see anything, just a blank screen in a window.

PsMan on Thu, 28th May 2009 6:18 pm


It’s somthing with the graphics then…

Are you using any kind of 3rd party windows themes application? if yes disable it.
I assume the game starts in fullscreen mode, try to mimimize it then maximize it (hit “alt+tab” on the keyboard)
try right clicking the game’s shotcut, select properties, then go to the compatibility tab, go there and mess with some settings, I would recommend trying a windows 2000 compatibility mode and disabling Visual themes

As a last option, from the start menu choose run and write “dxdiag” Go to the display tab and start disabling DirectX Features one by one and check the game every time. Remeber to enable everything again after you r done.

Also you can check if there is any new driver version for your VGA.

I hope one of these methods will work, If not may be I can come up with more thing to try.

Good luck

Ok I will try those but it doesn’t launch in full screen mode it launches in window mode which I thought was the problem. But let me try your tips to see it it will work. Thank you.

PsMan on Thu, 28th May 2009 6:26 pm


No problem.

It is supposed to start in full screen unless your version is modified (to open all cards maybe?)

Good luck

Selzar on Thu, 28th May 2009 6:38 pm


Well I tried everything except for the new driver which is busy being downloaded and no I don’t have a third party theme application. I don’t know if it is modified how can I tell?

PsMan on Thu, 28th May 2009 8:01 pm


well, I’m running out of ideas here.
since it is running on windowed mode, try changing your desktop resolution and number of colors 32 to 16 (one at a time), also if you use (or enable) multiple monitors and/or TV disable them. just keep one single monitor.

try these and give me your feedback

Good Luck

Selzar on Thu, 28th May 2009 8:24 pm


Now I updated my VGA driver and tried running it in 32 and 16 colours and still nothing. Is there a way to force it to go in full screen mode? Like a program or something?

PsMan on Thu, 28th May 2009 8:46 pm


I’m pretty sure the default setting for it is full screen, but if it runs in windowed then your problem is one of 2:
1: you have changed the game’s registry to open all card (probably)
2: there is a problem preventing the game from going full screen

If one, Find your Power of chaos common folder (by default in your program files) “Yu-Gi-Oh! Power of Chaos Common” there find a file named system.dat
Rename system.dat to AngryBytesystem.dat (a small ad ) now the game SHOULD open in full screen, I just tried that and in worked on my pc.

Good luck

Selzar on Thu, 28th May 2009 9:53 pm


I like the name AngryByte but… It didn’t work. I have 2 versions of the game, an install file and a zipped file containing the game folder and I tried all this on both of them. Sorry, maybe I just wasn’t meant to play it lol. Thanx anyway.

PsMan on Thu, 28th May 2009 10:05 pm


No problem.

I wish I could help you some more.

PsMan on Thu, 11th Jun 2009 11:10 am


Hey.

Sorry I thought you were spam (your message looks spammy).
Anyway. Thats the copy protection of the game, at least the game thinks that you are using a pirated CD, try to install the game on another PC (and keep the CD inside while playing), if you are looking for some kind of crack or nocd patch, sorry we do not discuss that here
