Hello everyone!
First of all, I am not affiliated with the first developer who posted the same project as this one before here in Ragezone.
I’m currently working on developing an emulator for iDate Online Interactive Dating. An online game from Philippines that was shut down a decade ago. At first, my goal was just to provide a minimal emulation and step aside so that other developers could continue the work. But along the way, I’ve become much more invested in the project, and I’ve decided that I’ll be actively helping with development in the future.
I’ll also be setting up a Discord server in the following days to build a community who share an interest in this project. Those who wants to contribute can gather, collaborate, and push the development forward together. I'll update this thread once the discord server is live.
Here’s my current progress so far:
1. Removed XTrap completely from the client, enabling future developers to debug the game client using any debugger.
2. Developed a launcher with an XTrap bypasser for those who still need to run the client with XTrap installed (debugging not possible in this mode).
3. Identified most of the opcodes, including login, server, and channel opcodes.
4. Built a server emulator with minimal functionality that currently supports login and server selection.
As of now, the emulator can only emulate until server selection. It won't go further when clicking on channel selection.
Anyway, this is just the beginning, and I’m excited to see how far this project can go with the help of a dedicated community.
**UPDATE 31/10/2025**
The emulator can now emulate login, server and channel (but of course data is not 1 = 1 from retail). I can now enter the main club lobby. Here's proof:
**UPDATE 03/11/2025**
The emulator can now proceed until main game lobby. The only issue is character avatar is empty as I still don't know how to handle character data. Also room creation need to fix. Here's proof:
