In the voodoo control panel, on the General tab, set your Output API to Direct3D 12 or something similar.

This will need to be running at the same time as your game, to create a "fake video card".
#WINDOWS 10 PATCH MIDTOWN MADNESS 2 INSTALL#
Then, copy over the `dgVoodooCpl` control panel executable into the install directory as well and run it. I got around that by downloading dgVoodoo 2.75 from here:įrom this ZIP, go into the MS folder, then the x86 folder, and copy all four DLLs into your Midtown Madness install directory (shouldn't overwrite anything). Lastly, sometimes the game would have unplayable-levels of lag when colliding with fixed structures, like buildings. Once I turned off all but one, that fixed the issue. That seems to be because I have multiple monitors. My game would not show video for the intro videos, or allow me to use my mouse. Once you do that, the game should be able to start up. Make sure this exe is set to run in compatibility mode for Windows XP (SP2 or similar), and run as administrator.

Copy that exe over to your game installation directory, and overwrite the `midtown2.exe` file. The password for the ZIP file is `lonebullet`. Some virus scanners don't like these, due to the way they override the game's functions, but not to worry this download appears safe. I downloaded this crack from the link below. For those that have never used these before, you replace the game's main EXE with an identical version, and upon doing so you can play the game without the CD. The anti-theft stuff doesn't work on Windows 10, which requires the CD to be inserted, which ironically is what is keeping it from running. They installed fine, but wouldn't start at all. Posting here hoping to save someone some time.
