    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.

    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.

      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.

    • @Carberra
      @Carberra  4 года назад +1

      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.

    • @Carberra

      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.
