Hi, there's one game, Lemmings Paintball. The game is Win32 (1996) and contains DISPDIB.DLL. Does that mean it uses WinDirect? No, the DLL file isn't related to WinDirect. It is an official one from Microsoft that only provides direct VGA access. From your previous comment, WinDirect allows VGA and …

It says to open the game and check the settings. Did you open the game and check the settings? I am aware it's there. I don't really see an issue. It's harmless. Should we update the dxwnd version? Of course I checked. How do you say it's harmless? You can't start a mission... I feel the only thing …

Small question that I had: what does the d3dimm.dll do? I mean it's not xactly d3dim.dll probably, and many games that use d3d still run with ddraw.dll only, so what it is primarily?

Played around with some things. Changed all the xcopys to copy-item because powershell sometimes ran it in the PS window, and sometimes spun up external CMD windows leading to out of order execution. Same with the attrib. I believe this should work still on all the versions but I haven't tested …

All comes down to the licence agreement, alot of modern games allow you to create mods but they own the rights to the content. How enforceable this is internationally would be another matter. Considering that the game is a sports game, here are a few things that is different and is SOLD: correct …

I used to play a game from Electronic Arts named Cricket 07. It had a huge fanbase in the cricket playing nations initially (Aus, SA, NZ, etc) and eventually caught up with the other nations like India, Pakistan or Bangladesh. I was an active member in the modding community in 2018-2019. Later I …

None of the editions install the patch. When I tried it it was an unstable mess. Not sure if it was because I screwed up getting the patch files, or it installs differently depending on the starting edition. Ah please do the necessary change.

It all runs in order. Just delete the dgvoodoo stuff from that folder, and it should copy the conf over the top of the titanium one. Thinking if I should add a prompt to ask whether to install the Mercs patch. It seemed to make the game worse when I tried it, but maybe it'll work for some people/ …

Ok, so what is the net difference? A different conf file? Might as well just delete everything but the conf file in that folder That's what I wanted to do.
