Yeah, I tried WireShark, but I dont think it'll help me reducing the amount of data. I've just seen that most of the data doesnt have to be sent (just some single values), thats why I thought about "translating" the protocol.

I made a lot of TCP/IP programming in different languages but I don't have the time to look at ipx in detail (well I dont want to, because it was just for ABM (maybe a lot of work just for a really old game ) and I dont want to reinvent the wheel: these guys from http://bomberman.spb.ru already did it, but there're still some things missing, for example a proper compression)

it uses port 6666

i cant see a game view. i hear only a sound. "atomic bomberman". i have windows xp pro. i`ve copied all files from bmo world to atomic bomberman folder, is that correct ? tried to run all MS-dos files. some of them not working properly. what should i do or did wrong ?

lol you dont need to copy the files from bmo to atomic bomberman
bmo and atomic bomberman are 2 different games
just download atomic bomberman and apply the ipx patch.. thats all
have fun

as far as i know atomic bomberman has graphic issues in windows 7....
but you have windows xp pro no? hmm....

do you have the latest direct x and/or drivers?
try to run it in windows 2000 compatibility mode .. or something.. also..

I downloaded Atomic Bomberman and patch from this page and Avira inform me that bombeman.exe (patch) is trojan. I ignore that and run game but I can not connect on network game. I get a message "vipx error: couldnt connect to virtual ipx network". What is that mean?

I have windows 7 OS. Few days ago I remember this nice game and start it from my old HDD. Graphics was bad but only in the menu not in the game. During the game there is no triger bombs and some well known good things. After I start game downloaded from this site everything looks fine (except graphics but that is doesn't matters for me) but I can't do anything with network gaming.

What I need to do to play with my friends over the internet??? Please help me because Atomic Bomberman is one of the best games for us and it is never gets old.

Thanks
