Hey,
I found this game I used to play a very long time ago and I wanted to experience it again. Unfortunately I wasn’t able to run it in Windows 10 / Windows XP SP3 VM because it would lag on modern hardware.
Here is what you need to do in order to get the game running:
- Search for “Midtown Madness 2 (Europe) (Rerelease)” on TPB and download it
- Load the disk with WinCDEmu or other solution
- Install the game (don’t launch it)
- Enable DirectPlay on Windows
- Copy
Crack\midtown2.exe
to the gamefolder - Download dgVoodoo2 from http://dege.freeweb.hu/dgVoodoo2/dgVoodoo2/
- Copy
dgVoodoo2.exe
to the game folder - Copy all files inside
MS\x86
to the game folder as well - Run
dgVoodoo2.exe
as admin and set the following:
- Click the button
.\
to create config file to MM directory - In “General” > “Output API” select “Direct3D 11 MS WARP (software)”
- Go to “DirectX” tab and change the VRAM to 128MB
- Click “Apply” > “OK” to exit.
- Launch the game > Options > Graphics > select from Display drop down menu, “dgVoodoo DirectX Wrapper” > "Hardware (3D video card with T&L) from the Renderer drop menu.
- Click “Done” and that’s it!
Note that whenever you change the resolution it won’t apply any changes to the game menu - you’ll only see it once you start a race.
Midtown Madness 2 should now run very smoothly under Windows 10, even on Virtual Machines. Enjoy.
They’re either calling you a VW Beetle or saying it was over powered.
Or they are calling out OP because they make too much emission. As in the most notable VW bug (which was a feature).
