Neither ISO works when mounted on the VM. On that one attempt where I briefly got into the game, I was running it using the My Abandonware ISO. It crashed and sent up the "send error report" immediately.Īll of this is without using no-CD cracks of the game, and instead, I've been using two ISOs to attempt to get it running - one that I downloaded from My Abandonware, and another that I manually compiled from my actual CD of the game using PowerISO.
Naturally, I thought this was a Windows 10-specific problem, so I threw the game onto my VirtualBox XP Pro VM, installed DirectX on it, and tried it there. So, after trying multiple combinations of compatibility modes (XP SP2 and 3, Vista, 7, even Win98) and run as admin on/off settings, the best I could do was load into the game exactly once (I forget with which setting), but only for a few seconds and at a terrible framerate, before it froze entirely - I had to escape the frozen game by killing it in Task Manager. but as you'll see soon, the OS is, strangely, completely irrelevant to the issue. Now, I'm trying this on a Windows 10 computer.
No matter what, it somehow manages to crash either immediately, or after the opening title card. This is an old PC game from 2002 that I've tried multiple times over the last few weeks to get running, to no avail.
