Issues unresolved
Game framedrops/speedups/freeze
- Due to an issue with clockspeed, the game will begin losing frames within minutes of startup regardless of compatibility mode settings. It can regain frames at an exceedingly accelerated rate shortly after but it will always lead to a freeze.
Issues fixed
Game doesn't load on 32/64bit Windows OS
Use dgVoodoo2 + gp500_win2k.exe |

|
Notes:
- It is possible you may need to set
gp500_win2k.exe
to Windows XP SP3 compatibility if the game crashes - dgvoodoo is not mandatory but it provides a smoother experience, though frame slowdown still takes place
- There have been two .exe modifications made to allow the game to run on Vista or later operating systems. One is
GP500Core2.exe
and it can be run with Compatibility Mode to Windows 7 without further adjustments or dgvoodoo - Not necessary but replacing
GP500.exe
with a "noCD" .exe has no negative repercussion
