OneShot OneShot (2016) on Windows XP

Getting Oneshot.exe Working

Firstly, you need to patch the main executeable file of the game, because if you try to run it normally, you will just get a "is not a valid Win32 application error

To fix this, download Alky for Applications from here http://alkyforapplications.net/ and install it. After installing it, reboot your computer

Now, go to the oneshot.exe file, right click on it and select "Patch and run Vista executeable..."

After the patching is done, you should get a error saying that vcruntime140.dll is missing.

To fix this, just download and install Visual C++ Runtime 2015 from here: https://www.microsoft.com/en-gb/download/details.aspx?id=48145

If done correctly, the game now should run!

Getting _______.exe Working

Now, to get the final file working, it may not seem important but it needs to work for the game to let you complete the last puzzle (also for one other thing at the end but I will not spoil)

Firstly, download UPX from here https://github.com/upx/upx/releases/download/v3.96/upx-3.96-win32.zip then put it on the Desktop, for example

Then, copy _______.exe to the same place as UPX

Now, you need to open a command prompt window and navigate to the same directory as UPX and _______.exe

Then, type upx -d _______.exe as shown in the image below:

After that, download two things: HxD Hex Editor from here https://mh-nexus.de/downloads/HxDSetup.zip and shellxp.dll from here https://github.com/tumagonx/XomPie/raw/master/shellxp.dll (part of XomPie.)

Install HxD and open the _______.exe file in it.

Now, go to Search > Find in HxD and search for shell32.

It will find an occurence of shell32, replace the 32 with XP (do not erase any characters, type over them instead

If done correctly, it should look like this:

Now, save the file.

After this, put the shellxp.dll you downloaded and the modified _______.exe in the OneShot directory. Overwrite any files if asked.

If everything is done correctly, the _______.exe file will run.

The puzzle that involves this file has rendering issues, but it's still possible to complete it.

Missing Fonts

If fonts are missing, go into the Fonts folder inside the OneShot game folder, and copy all of the fonts to C:\Windows\Fonts.

Note: you may get a Windows Firewall alert, you can safely ignore this warning.
