- Open
MaiDFXvr_bleu.exe with a hex editor such as HxD.
- Press Ctrl+R and set Datatype to Hex-values.
- Search for
320000002564202066707300 and replace the 32 at the start with the desired framerate (in hexadecimal).
- Search for
8B483883C40485C9740C, it should be followed by E8 XX XX XX XX 6A 01 (the XX might be different depending on the localization - for the English .exe, it's 4E 7E 14 00).
- Replace the last
01 with 00 to completely disable the frame limit in the menus.
- Save the file.
Notes
- Too high framerates ingame and menus cause game speed to be way too high, resulting in sped up gameplay and menu navigation.

Issues fixed
Crash after the intro when using Glide wrapper
- Game needs to have been run in admin mode at least once, since it needs special privileges to write its settings in

|
Disable movies in configuration file[5]
|

ubi.ini.
- Under the section
[Hype - The Time Quest], find the line PlayVideo=1 and change to PlayVideo=0.

Installing on modern versions of Windows
64-bit versions of Windows can't run the CD installer due to it being a 16-bit application. Trying to run the installer in Windows 7 x64 will cause the process to freeze in the background and require the task manager to close.
|
Manual installation[8]
|
- Create a folder named
Hype somewhere on the drive (from now on, we'll be referring to it as <path-to-game>).
- From the CD's root directory, copy
DSETUP.DLL, DSETUP16.DLL and DSETUP32.DLL to <path-to-game>.
- Copy
DLL, Gamedata and InstData to <path-to-game>.
- Go to
exe on the CD.
- Copy
Gli.ini to <path-to-game>.
- Copy
MaiD3Dvr_bleu.exe from D3D to <path-to-game>.
- Copy
MaiDFXvr_bleu.exe from Glide 3x to <path-to-game>.
- Copy all files from
UbiConfig to <path-to-game>.
- Go back to the CD's root folder, and go to
LangData\<current language>\world\.
- Copy
levels to <path-to-game>\Gamedata\World\.
- When asked about scaling folders, answer yes.
- Go to the Windows directory (
%WINDIR%).
- Inside it, create a folder named
UbiSoft.
- From the CD's root directory, copy
DSETUP.DLL, DSETUP16.DLL, DSETUP32.DLL and SetupUbi.exe to a newly created directory: %WINDIR%\UbiSoft\.
- It may be possible that the folder already exists, as it's shared with other Ubisoft games of the same era. In such case, do not replace any of the files.
- From the
InstData directory on the CD, copy strings.eng to %WINDIR%\UbiSoft\.
- Download the installation package for Hype: The Time Quest and extract it.
- From
config, copy ubi.ini to %WINDIR%\UbiSoft\.
- If there are other Ubisoft games already installed that use the same file,
ubi.ini has to be manually edited by adding [Hype - The Time Quest] under [INSTALLED PRODUCTS] as well as the section responsible for game configuration (just copy the lines from [Hype - The Time Quest] to [OSD] from ubi.ini provided in the installation package).
- If the current language is different from English, edit
ubi.ini, find the line Language=English under the [Hype - The Time Quest] section, and change it to a language currently being used (e.g. for Polish it's Language=Polish - incorrect language will make all the characters mute).
- Go to the folder where the files from the installation package were extracted to.
- Go to
Compatibility and run PatchInstall.bat to add the compatibility entries to system's database.
- Install the nGlide wrapper, if it's not already.
- Finally, go to
<path-to-game>, run Ubiassistant.exe and choose 3DFX configuration.
- Run the game using
MaiDFXvr_bleu.exe.
