Essential improvements

Patches

Many references to a v1.19 patch for G-Police exist on the Internet, but as of the time of this writing (2019-12-01) no known source for this patch exists, and no information is available on its contents. A US retail big-box CD for G-Police identifies itself as v1.18.

Playing on modern systems

Windows 10 support
  1. Insert the CD and install the game as usual. The installer works perfectly on Windows 10.
  2. Download dgVoodoo 2 version 2.52 and copy the DDraw.dll and D3DImm.dll files to the G-Police installation folder
    1. Also extract the dgVoodooSetup.exe file to the G-Police installation folder if you wish to set options for dgVoodoo, such as removing its logo from output, or capturing the mouse
  3. Run the game!

Notes

As of 2019-12, the version of dgVoodoo used must be 2.52. Earlier versions will not work, later versions will corrupt the game menu
With dgVoodoo in place, G-Police requires no additional compatibility settings or admin mode, unlike many legacy games
