Anybody get this working on Windows 10?

Or a driver for the portal for windows 10? It seems every time it "reads", it just crashes for me.

I had a massive system failure on my laptop and installed windows 10 instead of the windows 7 I had thinking everything should work, but it seems the drivers I have just won't work with this program.. any suggestions?

no worries.. have fun..

it work on windows 10 64bit for me
but i dont install drivers , i just have Spyro Adventure for PC installed)
it work perfect(Unlike Editor didnt work at all).
Gui TOOLS crashes only when I disconect portal

import works but it imports a file called

import.dmp

in the main folder by loading it into the active figure. You can then just click "save" and it adds it into the database, or you can write it back to the figure.

If you downloaded the full zip there was a readme that mentioned just this fact

thank you very much, Pyrofer!

I always thought that the import function should work to add new dumps to database !))
I tryed and yyeess!its work like magic!))

How do I get a link to this?

Thats cool, but can any one of you tell me where can I find a SpyroDriver. I've recently got a new laptop and I wanted to know where can you get the driver installer?

Isn't necessary, just connect the portal ;-)

really dude? I'll try it...

Edit: Found the background, etc images here.

BTW: I'm working on a project I'm willing to share when finished. The project is collecting all the images (150x150x24bit bmp) for all the Skylanders toys for use with this program. I have finished Spyro's Adventure and Giants. Anyone else interested?

Haven't decided if I want to show both halves of Swap Force characters, or just the half that applies.

@Dalton977622: Chose edit on the right then delete post on the left.

Thanks Peppin. I'm interested about the images that CaseyOmah is programming. But are you partners with Pyrosfer, CaseyOmah?

Also, Where do I get the key to unlock the program. I understand about not posting it on forums so can someone PM me about it plz

I am not affiliated with Pyrosfer, I'm just someone with experience in image manipulation. The Skylander images are all received from this site and converted for use. I also have redesigned the background image for accuracy here.
That image should be the only thing in the Pictures folder for proper use.
Original version

My revision

P.S. I am reworking the Skylander images for artificial transparency on above background. (to be linked later)

My version does not appear the "Reset Crystal" button

What is the Key Entry code?

If you get the Skylanders editor (either v1 or v2) there is a place in spec.txt and crypt.cpp where you find a copyright statement (of Activision's) that IS the key, but you must have one and only one space before and after.

Edit: @willianclaro Your program is functioning as designed. You cannot decrypt (to show) or encrypt (to reset) your figurines without the key, you can still backup and restore though.

Edited.

BTW, I still can't recover a destroyed crystal. It's being worked on by others though.

Please let me know when this is solved. I just hosed a crystal trying to reset it. I've been using this program since SSA and haven't had a problem otherwise.

the key is back it up first ! LOL ! it is possible to recover it though.

Here's a question for those who both own Creation Crystals and have ordered a Card/Figure - do they show up in this tool the same? I've seen someone who used Giants to reset their card, and it going from Dark (their original imaginator) to Magic (they assumed resetting would "fix" their Imaginator) - so was curious if ordered creations use the "same" chips as Crystals, or their own special version (if that makes sense?)

i still have a dead crystal that i keep on my desk to remind me to look at this thread (and a few others) to see if anyone's released a way to fix broken crystals (or any type of software to do anything really). if you can fix crystals id love to know how

What happens when you do the "reset" from the GUI and then write back... what happens?

- Does it not register in the game?
- Does it say incompatible toy?
- Does it try to recover?

Dropbox me the dmp and i will fix it for u if u want the crystal reset...

it loads in the game as the type of crystal, then says, crystal needs to be reset, then loads, then says crystal needs to be reset, and it just loops like that. i think its going to take someone with real computational and programming skills to like, fix the info that i cleared off it in all the many many attempts i tried to get it to recover.

@crstofer i sent you a pm

I had that happen to me on Day 1 when I tried using the old tool and edit hex values... but I had a backup that I wrote back and I was able to reset it in game since it came up that it needed to be reset.

Drop it in a box. I'll check it out !

Its been RESET like its right out of the starter pack ! Have fun.. Need any other help, u know where to find me !

crstofer is a magican wizard sorcerer who somehow used dark magic and math beyond my understanding to restore that amazingly dead crystal. THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK YOU. he is the MAN!!!!

We "both" won that battle ! Have fun !

I kinda lucked out and was able to return the dead crystal I had back to Toys R Us. I would be interested in finding out how this was accomplished though.

"GOOGLE" anything u want to know, good luck

I just do what I do that help me and a few others !

I'm not surprised that crstofer was able to fix it.. he seems like a very very knowledgeable person when it comes to using tools for Skylanders.

My series 2 Prism Break has the error "This toy has a problem". Can this be used to fix that?

try it and let us know your results !

Create a dmp of this figure with SGT. Copy dmp from dump folder and dropbox me the dmp.. i'll fix it for u.

if u need the key... hint hint ! now go get it ...

To the people still having trouble finding the key, it is the text at the end of lines 53-56 in crypt.cpp. And note that lines 54 and 56 end with a space.

The first line start with a space!

I deliberately obfuscated the key in the keyfile so that the key used by my app does not contain the Copyright Activision key, just a seemingly random string of digits.

The idea here was that once the keyfile was created people could share it without fear of being sued as the file they are sharing contains nothing copyrighted by Activision. (The key is also not stored in the app itself so that can be distributed legally, both parts are required to reconstitute the actual copyright key)

While I still cannot endorse the outright sharing of the keyfile used by my app (for legal reasons) I am surprised that there is so little sharing of the key going on.

We're steering clear of any issues with the Big A !

Pm me when u have opportunity....

yeah, when someone just joins the site hasnt posted anything and sends you a pm for the key file its a little "scary" to share it.
so yeah if you pm'd me asking for the key file the same day you joined the site and have 0 posts and got ignored. thats why..sorry (sorry not sorry)

In short, the scene seems to be coming to a end anyways.

For those still looking for the key try Github. I won't link directly here but it seems quite a few people on Github don't mind just taking the original editor code without credit (even the original comments are in it) and publishing it with the key intact!

Were you ever able to get the portal to read? I am in the exact same position as you. Updated from windows 7 to windows 10 and now the portal won't read and crashes the program when it tries to.

Yeah I did. I'm not really sure what happened, it just started working lol.

Try running it as administrator

Thanks for the response. I tried that and it kinda worked, it at least started trying to read but gave an error. I guess I'll just try a couple different things to see if I can make something work. I think there is a certain order things have to be done for windows 10 maybe. Oh well, I'll keep working at it.

Yeah sometimes it'd go into "portal read error". Just re-connect the portal and try and read the figure again. Just keep doing that over and over, it'll eventually work

Thanks for this, Pyrofer. I wish you would make the source available, but I understand your position.

I had no problem following your pointers to get the right string for the key, so I'm not going to ask for it.

Now I just have to drag out my spare TT base so I can fiddle around without having to keep swapping it between my Wii and my PC.

I wasn't clear about a couple of things - if I copy from one device to another will it mess things up? It's probably somewhere in the 12 pages of comments, but I must have missed it.

Oh, one other question - has anyone figured out how to set the flag for the exclusive villain variants?

Please, can someone explain why quests button not active and dont work?
When i put button-nothing happens
Heroic work well.



In old version of Gui tools its work and show some Giants and Swap Force quests

Its was deleted and dont work in last versions?

Where i can download this program ?

EDIT: I found it

Has anyone tried to change the battle class on a crystal using this on a Nintendo Switch? It worked fine on my wii u but I don't have Imaginators on the switch to try it. I figure the digital library would mess with it
