Playing on modern systems

The following installer should get around an issue related to the game not installing on 64-bit operating systems.
Installing the game[1]
  1. Insert the Future Cop: LAPD installation disc, then download this installer and run it.
  2. Select the desired rendering method. For 3DFX download and install nGlide.

Notes

Don't forget to run FCopLAPD.exe as an admin.
The Software rendering mode appears to be most stable and compatible of all three.
The 3DFX mode will fail to render some of the laser obstacles, they should be fairly easy to detect and avoid.
Windows 10 support[2]
Not compatible with the French CD release, only English release is supported
  1. Insert the Future Cop: LAPD installation disc, then download this installer and run it.
  2. Use the default native resolution output, don't change something during the install
  3. Install 3DFX dgvoodoo2 DLLs to the installation folder
  4. Set the game exe to "Windows 98 / ME" mode and "Admin" by default
  5. Set the game exe to "16-bit (65536) color" mode
  6. Game will be playable, only the videos might play as a blackscreen with sound, be sure to edit your controller config in controls.txt
