Essential improvements
- To run the game on modern systems, you will need the fixed exe available on myabandonware.com.
This works as a no-cd patch, but also seems to fix a crash when loading a level.
Widescreen and high resolution support
Use DgVoodoo
|
- Download DgVoodoo.
- Extract
dgVoodoo.conf , dgVoodooCpl.exe and the contents of MS/x86 directly into <path-to-game> .
- Run
dgVoodooCpl.exe
- In the "General" tab set the following:
* Appearance - "Full Screen"
* Scaling mode - "Stretched, keep aspect ratio"
- In the "DirectX" tab set the following:
* Videocard - "dgVoodoo Virtual 3D Accelerated Card"
* VRAM - "4096MB"
* Filtering - "Force anisotropic 16x"
* Disable mipmapping - true
* Resolution - choose the max for your monitor
* dgVoodoo Watermark - false
- Press "Apply", then "OK"
- Edit
dgVoodoo.conf in a text editor and:
- Set the
FullscreenAttributes property to "fake" (to make cutscenes work somewhat properly)
- Set the
DepthBuffersBitDepth property to "forcemin24bit" (to fix some z-fighting issues)

Controller configuration
- You might need to use XInput Plus for the configuration window to recognize controller inputs (if you want to change the default control scheme). Note that the game will take longer to launch when the xinput files are present. Due to this, it's recommended to delete the DLLs after configuring the controller.
Create XInput DLLs
|
- Follow the guide to create the necessary DLLs.

Issues unresolved
Music or sound not playing on Windows 10
The cutscenes and music are stored on the CD, so will only work when a CD is present in the drive. However, running the game with the CD will break sound. This results in a choice of whether you prefer to hear sound or music.
Graphical glitches when using dgVoodoo
An odd graphical glitch can occur when using dgVoodoo, where a weird black shadow-like effect with z-fighting can be seen around boost pads.
Issues fixed
Crash when loading a level on Windows 10
