It works, thank you. I managed to run game from 2000 with settings: run in window; keep aspect ratio and Desktop. Nice to see that there is completely no need to install virtual machine and whole system in order to play a game.
Mate you're a life saver i've been trying to get Take no Prisoners from Raven software to work for years but now I found this and it has the settings for the game in the export folder.
Hi!! I installed the app yesterday and it was working fine until, while playing Platypus, the game stopped and said : ''Memory access violation'' what should I do ? Please help me :')
@@Carberra This app does not have an app associated with it for performing this action. Please install an app or, if one is already installed, create an association in the Default Apps Settings Page.
I wish it could work so well on MiniCarRacing. The cursor goes absolutely crazy and I have no idea how to fix it. Wanted to play it in window mode since alt tabing during fullscreen glitches the game out and makes it unplayable, forcing a reset.
hi im trying to play a game from my childhood called rugrates munchin land but i cannot get it to work same as for any of the pre loaded games as i cannot get any to work ?
@@Carberra Thanks for replying so fast. I tried several exes but none of them seem to work, I get error messages all the time. Which application/exe should I add you think?
Whichever one starts the game. If the CD installed an EXE onto your system, use that one. If it still doesn't work try playing around with some settings -- unfortunately that's the limit of how much I can help haha.
I can't show every game in existence -- that's just the example I showed. If the steps don't work, and there isn't a preset, you'll need to mess around with some settings. Note that this solution doesn't work for every game.
@@Carberra There's an assortment of different kings of documents. It would take a while to catalogue, is there anything you know that should or shouldn't be there?
If you join the Discord server and ping me in a support channel I'll be able to help better I think. I'd need to see the directory. Make sure to mention that I gave you permission to ping me immediately though cos we don't normally allow that lmao.
@@Carberra It had some issues with glitching, but it was an older win 95 game, so sometimes works with compatibility mode... just not often enough to be stable
If you bought the game on Steam, any compatibility problems should have been fixed by the developer before they released an updated port. Failing that, if you've already tried the method shown in the video, try running the game in compatibility mode, and if that doesn't work, try modifying some settings in DxWnd. I would however take this case to the Steam community, and see if there are any fixes - some Steam ports are dodgy, and they might have a solution.
I'm trying to play Planet of the Apes, but I'm not able to get it to work. When I copy over the MS files from dgvoodoo, it works in dxwnd, but the cutscenes don't work. Do you know how to fix this? Thanks!
Just the cutscenes not working is a weird one. My only guess is that the cutscene files themselves are in some weird format that the shell can't run, but I really don't know if that would be it. See if you can find the cutscenes in the files, and note the file extension.
Can't find anything conclusive on it. Apparently changing cutscene resolution settings might work, as well as something called GDI mode. Beyond that you'll probably have to do your own research, sozza.
Hay! I want to play the Game from my Childhood called Warlords Battlecry 2/3 and yes i know i can just download it on gog but my problem is that i have 4k screens. The Game looks most of the time like shit and also my pc has much problems to run it if i want to have a video on my second screen cause it has no window mode. Sometimes my pc just wants to restart and sometimes it just close the game. XD So i wanted to try DxWnd but cant even download it. Always i try to get it on my pc my defender says VIRUS and blocks it. Can you help me there?
Bruh this game (Rayman 3 PC original cd rom) doesn't want to work no matter what I try...! I tried all the methods I saw on forums and youtube without success,I wanna cry 😭 Maybe one day...
I'm trying to run Tony Hawk's Pro Skater 3. It's in the exports folder but I also have the actual disk for the game. I tried setting the path/launch to the exe on my computer and again with the dxw file in the exports folder. Nothing happened in both cases. Not sure why? update: I figured it out but when I click off the game the whole game pauses until I click back on
i've been running into a problem. i'm trying to emulate the game small soldiers globotech design lab and it would get stuck on the tittle screen and basically stop playing music and get frozen to the point i would have to log out of my computer and log back into so it would close. if you have any solutions on how to make it stop doing that would be a big help thanks

YOU ARE A LIFESAVER
Thank you so much!! You really helped me run my old games that don't run.
love your animated wallpaper!
You have saved my life thank you so much ❤❤❤
Lifesaver it does work indeed !
Would it work for Roller Coaster Tycoon? Been trying to play via Steam, but I have windows 11 and it only runs for 5 min and then it crashes
Thank you so much for this tutorial!!
Mate you're a life saver i've been trying to get Take no Prisoners from Raven software to work for years but now I found this and it has the settings for the game in the export folder.
Ah awesome, glad it helped out my dude!

thank you very much it worked bit make sure you run as adminstrator

Yeah lmao. He's gone for now though. Maybe he'll make a comeback in the future!
Hi!! I installed the app yesterday and it was working fine until, while playing Platypus, the game stopped and said : ''Memory access violation''
what should I do ? Please help me :')
when im downloading dxwnd it says to set a default app for something so it dosent download
I've never know anyone to have that problem before. What exactly does it say?
@@Carberra This app does not have an app associated with it for performing this action. Please install an app or, if one is already installed, create an association in the Default Apps Settings Page.
It sounds like you're not opening the program correctly. Open the exe.
Bro thanks 😍

I am trying to play Yumsters 1 on windows 10. I tried your advice but it still does not run correctly.
hi im trying to play a game from my childhood called rugrates munchin land but i cannot get it to work same as for any of the pre loaded games as i cannot get any to work ?
Hi. Will it work on Batman Arkham Asylum?
when i try to alt+ctrl or try to alt f4, the game doesent wanna close for some reason
Dos box is a similar application...for 1998 and earlier games... would that app work on Windows 11
My problem is that game load only in like 50% colours and when i do sth with mouse it is like copying the mouse like thiusand times
Error PresentO. An invalid parameler was passed to the returning function
how ti fix this?
I have the original CD's but I don't know how to make it work with this program. What should I do?
In theory just do it the same as you would with the standard EXEs. You might need to disable the autorun though.
@@Carberra Thanks for replying so fast. I tried several exes but none of them seem to work, I get error messages all the time. Which application/exe should I add you think?

@@Carberra Okay. I can't install the game because my OS isn't old enough.
Could you get a game like ea sports nhl 2000 to work on there
Hi. I’ve followed all the steps to run Hooligans SOE and it doesn’t run. Double clicking, pressing enter, nothing has worked :(
What exactly is the issue? Does it just not start?
@@Carberra exactly mate. It stays still. If I want to run the game, must double click on the .exe but it lags in-game.
I'm presuming there's not a preset for it?
@@Carberra than what we do??? you keep showing the damn sheep game i need this for sudden strike 2
I can't show every game in existence -- that's just the example I showed. If the steps don't work, and there isn't a preset, you'll need to mess around with some settings. Note that this solution doesn't work for every game.
The only executable I can select is Autorun which leads to the install.. but I can't install it obviously or I wouldn't be here. The hell should I do?
What other files are there in the directory?
@@Carberra There's an assortment of different kings of documents. It would take a while to catalogue, is there anything you know that should or shouldn't be there?

Would it run theme park world? I know I managed to butcher that to run, but with a few patches.
I can't say for individual games - it would depend on the problem. Theoretically yes, but it's not guaranteed.
@@Carberra It had some issues with glitching, but it was an older win 95 game, so sometimes works with compatibility mode... just not often enough to be stable
DxWnd would probably help then. If the game runs at all there's a higher chance of the problems being fixed. No harm in giving it a shot!

is there a way to slow a game down? I am playing Zulu Assault and it runs super fast to the point where I can not control the gameplay
Didn't work with Lemmings.
does this help to make thrillville off the rails work on pc? it's a game from 2007...
i want the game tow work in full screen in OBS streaming.
Castle Strike, my very first own game i ever played does not run on 64-bit. Not even with DxWnd. My issue lies somewhere else i guess.

How do you get that wallpaper
Wallpaper Engine! You can get it on Steam.

I think there's a setting for that somewhere regarding the update.
