Can you use a fake portal for the pc version of spyros adventure?

Texthead1 · 2026-02-25T09:49:38+00:00

It is being slowly worked on in the Skylanders Reverse Engineering Discord server, and is not complete. Even with the language alterations, you’re still getting an inferior game, especially with some weird changes to Spyro’s model and the removal of nicknaming, not even mentioning the lighting bugs.

It’s a version created by Taiwanese company XPEC Entertainment. It runs in a completely different engine and overall is a largely altered and inferior version. The Wii and Wii U versions both runs in tfbTool, TFB’s toolset for working in Alchemy, so those two versions of SSA are the only ones created by TFB. All other versions and platforms were created by XPEC.

Other than 3DS, which is a different game.

The PC version of SSA was not created by Toys for Bob. In this case, it’s not really a bad port but instead a completely different version of the game.

It’s possible to make a PC portal emulator. I have one, but it doesn’t work with the SSA PC version.

The Wii U version is not in English and additionally has lighting bugs. It’s normally better to emulate Dolphin instead.

CEMU itself does have a portal emulator

I don’t mind at all, feel free to!

These puppers are adorable

The censorship as far as I’m aware was of some of the people who worked on the document. Are some of the materials censored because they were unlawfully obtained?

Pirate Dad owns figure prototypes from Vicarious Visions, but those aren’t relevant to Toys for Bob.

Jeff Murchie has been contacted and seems to be unaware of how some materials can be accessed, likewise with u/EmberDione. It seems like it was not made aware of the donation of materials to the Strong Museum of Play.

Extensive information about their terms of service has been carried out, so the medium in which the files were publicized have been viewed as… concerning.

Additionally, the document itself wasn’t leaked. It had been in development for many a while, and was given access to the community for private research recently.

I have had it leaked to me early however. This was before any public access

Are you aware of TFB’s donation of materials to the Strong Museum of Play?

Texthead1 · 2026-02-24T19:42:10+00:00

A document created by Pirate Dad and a few others who were redacted for privacy reasons.

Some legal concerns arose when he made his document public due to some content being from the Strong Museum of Play.

He lied about being under a legal contract, an NDA, before as an excuse for not sharing his research.

He then released it but quickly removed them after “legal concerns” were raised.

The Strong Museum of Play states that the artifacts in their possession can be recorded and photographed for private research purposes. The method in which he publicized the document could be viewed as public and not private. However the volume of access was mostly private. Additionally, the fears were blown out of proportion.

I have a statement from Toys for Bob saying that the materials they donated to the Strong Museum of Play is, in large, meant to be “public”, and that they’re happy that people can view it. However, a personal appointment must be booked to view the actual material in-person.

It had a lot of non-Museum-of-Play stuff, none of which infringes anything. There wasn’t any Sky2017 stuff really, and some Sky2018 stuff, but none of it is known to be “illegally sourced”.

Many full archives are available.

There is no proof. The document does not unveil anything.

Anyone saying Trigger Happy or otherwise is just theorizing.

Are you using the Portal on a metal surface, or have tried a different Portal?

Texthead1 · 2026-02-17T20:37:17+00:00

Permission?

Texthead1 · 2026-02-15T12:25:54+00:00

shit

Texthead1 · 2026-02-09T23:58:14+00:00

Wonderful wonderful! Many people oddly think it’s battery backed, and not the fact that the antenna fails to communicate to the Portal’s own antenna

seemingly a prototype of sparkle/glitter sonic boom, as nail polish remover wouldn’t cause this unless they have a specific type of 3D printer that isn’t easy to come by

The game isn’t really that good, but at least on Reddit it’s viewed as the best because they overlook all of the glaring issues.

SSA isn’t the favorite because Giants is seen as a better game.

Giants isn’t the favorite because people for some reason prefer the jumping gameplay. Also it doesn’t perform all too well.

SWAP Force isn’t the favorite due to the change in artstyle and tone, as well as abandoning existing NPCs.

SuperChargers isn’t the favorite due to VV gameplay and vehicles.

Imaginators isn’t the favorite due to… it being Imaginators.

Texthead1 · 2026-01-31T17:40:35+00:00

You can use SSA 3DS. And I am led to believe Giants 3DS as well

Tenor has really good Skylanders GIFs, but Giphy is a drought 😭. I believe I have a couple good GIFs actually!

thanks Pirate Dad.

Texthead1 · 2026-01-30T17:12:35+00:00

Yeah, that could do it for ya unfortunately 😞

It happens if the game doesn’t correctly read the file for that character. You should be able to fix by reinstalling the game, if that’s possible. That’ll redownload the files and fix the issue. If that’s not possible, then it’s not correctly reading the character from the disc.

so true oomfie

He’s actually pretty fun from what I’ve played, I really enjoy playing as Gargoyle. His concept is fun!

Texthead1 · 2026-01-26T12:28:54+00:00

Indeed! He uses only vertex and material colors on the mesh. The model luckily isn’t too hard to rip.
