Issues fixed

Game refuses to launch

Skip Direct X 7.0a installation (XP and later)

Run as Administrator with Windows XP (Service Pack 2) compatibility mode

Compatibility issues on Windows 8 and later

Use dgVoodoo2[citation needed]

Download dgVoodoo 2. Extract dgVoodooSetup.exe, DDraw.dll (from the MS folder), and D3DImm.dll (also from the MS folder) and place these files to <path-to-game>. Open dgVoodooSetup.exe; click on the "DirectX" tab and change the following: Videocard needs to be changed to "dgVoodoo Virtual 3D Accelerated Card" if it isn't already selected. Click "Apply" and close the dgVoodoo setup application. Run Midtown Madness 2. When the main menu loads, navigate to "Options"; "Graphics"; then change the video accelerator to "dgVoodoo2 w/ T&L" and click "OK".

Use DDrawCompat
Download DDrawCompat. Extract the contents from the .zip file into the game's installation folder. Notes DDrawCompat fixes "Midtown Madness 2 requires DirectX 7 or later to run" error at launch.

System requirements

Windows
	Minimum
Operating system (OS)	98
Processor (CPU)	Pentium II 300MHz
System memory (RAM)	32MB
Hard disk drive (HDD)	560MB
Video card (GPU)	16MB AGP 3D video card

Requires Direct X compatible sound card and 8x CD-ROM drive.

Dynamic lighting only works on cards with T&L support ( at least GeForce and Radeon) even though the option is available on all cards.

Even though the game says a 16MB AGP card is required some lower spec cards do work, The Matrox G200 and ATi Rage pro cards (8MB AGP) seem to run the game OK. The game will not load on Savage IV cards, this is a driver problem with the card.
