if the game has an in-game menu, I use dgvoodoo which for me at least, has better options for upscaling & image processing (but disables access to menu bars) if the game requires the classic windows 95 menu bar to handle setup and options, I use DxWnd setup to run the game in a full screen 4:3 window with the menu available. if you don't do this, the game will probably be stretched to fill your monitor and won't look good. No widescreen in 1995, you'll need a direct x wrapper to force the correct 4:3 aspect ratio. I'm using a cheap LG usb cd drive for this I'm using the original cds so I definitely can't help with ISOs and patches to get cd audio working. If my tricks don't work for you, you're out of luck I'm afraid! I can only tell you what worked for my Windows 10 desktop pc, with intel core i5 processor and reasonably modern nvidia graphics card. Windows compatibility for something this old is very fragile and dependent on your specific setup. There are of course much better ways to play all of these games, these versions are just curiosities with their own quirks.Ī few general notes on getting old games to run on windows 10. I'm no rom hacker, the only reason I've been able to find the odd new thing is because no one else looked yet. There's nothing earth shattering here, these are all quick and dirty ports of average quality (or worse). Then I discovered that the good people of sonic/sega retro have been doing something similar and actually going to the trouble of sharing it online, so thought I'd sign up and share what I had.
I then stuck that information in a word document, took a bunch of screenshots and left it at that. I've been collecting old sega pc games and finally found the time and motivation to start going through them, working out how to get them running on Windows 10 (for various definitions of the word 'running'), testing for cheats and secrets (even finding a few that aren't documented anywhere online) and just general tinkering. Hello Sonic Retro, I joined your forum to share a bit of a mini-project I've been working on over the last few months.
