AK Card Scanner

This application allows you to send barcode data to the "Arcade I/O HTTP Server" of the Play! - PlayStation2 emulator.

Disclaimer:

This application contains no copyrighted material!
It simply contains lists of 8-character strings of text which are freely available online.
This application simply sends strings of text to a port on a local server, which can be accomplished using many other applications such as PostMan or even via command-prompt using Curl.

Installation:

1. Download the latest version of AK Card Scanner from the releases page.

2. Extract the contents to a folder on your PC.

3. Double-click AKCardScanner.exe to start the application.
   If you changed the Arcade I/O HTTP Server's port in the emulator, you'll need to set the same port in the Card Scanner application.

Scanning a card (Windows)

Pre-loaded Cards
Select an Animal, Strong & Miracle card from the dropdown boxes and click Scan Card when the game prompts you to.
You can click Scan All to send all 3 selected cards at once.
The application will display a progress bar as it scans each card in sequence.

Custom Cards
You can manually enter a code in the Custom Barcode text box and click Scan Card.

USB Barcode Scanners
If you have a USB barcode scanner you can use this to scan cards you physically own.
Simply click inside the Custom Barcode text box then scan your card.
Your barcode scanner should enter the code for you and send it automatically.
NOTE: The above method will only work for USB barcode scanners that emulate keyboard input.

Other Platforms:

If you're using a non-Windows platform I highly suggest trying Card Collections by Bebeq.
Card Collections allows you to display, store, and send barcode data via a cross-platform web server application.
You can even scan barcodes directly using a mobile device.
