| − | ==My testing process==
| |
| − | * I do primary testing on Windows 8 (64-bit).
| |
| − | * If I suspect/know compatibility differs I also test in 7 (64-bit) and XP (32-bit, virtualised).
| |
| − | * I always install to the default location with the full install option (if an install size choice is given).
| |
| − | * I test full versions where possible; demos sometimes have differing compatibility.
| |
| − | * For [[DOSBox]] games I test in the supplied version (for GOG.com etc.) or the latest version.

| − | ==Useful programs==
| |
| − | * [http://sourceforge.net/projects/regshot/ Regshot] - very useful for tracking the registry keys a game needs to run (e.g. for games with 16-bit installers that need to be copied over manually).
| |
| − | * [http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/sysinternals/bb896653.aspx Process Explorer] - useful for investigating the DLLs and launch parameters a process uses (e.g. [[Microsoft Golf 3.0]] relies on a <code>bullfrog</code> parameter not found in the shortcuts).
| |
| − | * [http://www.microsoft.com/en-us/download/details.aspx?id=7352 Microsoft Application Compatibility Toolkit] - advanced compatibility tweaking.
| |
| − | * [http://event.msi.com/vga/afterburner/download.htm MSI Afterburner] - highly compatible screenshot feature (works for games [[Fraps]] can't capture from).

| − | ==Problems==
| |
| − | ===Unresolved problems (major)===
| |
| − | * [[Flight Unlimited II]] - crashes at launch on Windows 8
| |
| − | * [[Sea Dogs]] - windowed mode has corrupted UI
| |
| − | * [[Chessmaster 5500]] - sounds and voice features cause crashes if enabled; swapping <code>mss32.dll</code> from other games doesn't fix it.
| |
| − | | |
| − | ===Unresolved problems (minor)===
| |
| − | * [[Wing Commander: Privateer]] - forces controller calibration at launch if two controllers are connected
| |
| − | * [[Hover!]] - music only starts playing after Sound Options has been opened
| |
| − | | |
| − | ===Resolved problems===
| |
| − | * [[Gothic]] - fullscreen border on Windows 8; fixed with ForceSimpleWindow
| |
| − | * [[Gothic II]] - fullscreen border on Windows 8; fixed with ForceSimpleWindow
| |
| − | * [[Mat Hoffman's Pro BMX]] - using Program Files causes crash even when elevated
| |
| − | * [[Microsoft Golf 3.0]] - workaround for 16-bit launcher
| |
| − | | |
| − | ===Unresolvable problems===
| |
| − | * [[Indiana Jones and his Desktop Adventures]] - 16-bit; swapping files with [[Star Wars: Yoda Stories|Yoda Stories]] didn't work.
