Issues

Low FPS

There are two ways of fixing the problem:

Disable hardware acceleration if fullscreen is on.
Play the game in a window. Hardware acceleration works fine while the game is windowed.

3D Acceleration Not Supported error on modern versions of Windows

The game complains about "Not enough video memory". This can be bypassed by patching the executable.

Patch the Zuma executable (Experimental)

Backup Zuma.exe, and edit it with a hex editor.
Navigate to offset 0x1CECE7. You should see something like ... FA FF FF 73 46 68 20 42 ....
Edit 73 to EB so it looks like ... FA FF FF EB 46 68 20 42 ..., save the file.
Run the game and enable 3D acceleration, ignore the warning.

Notes

This patch is experimental and may not work.

If you can't find FA FF FF 73 46 68 20 42 near 0x1CECE7, try searching for it. There should be only one occurrence.
