Expandable's configuration program needs compatibility mode with dgVoodoo 2 (not natively, weirdly enough)

The Expendable EMBM Patch crashed dgVoodoo2 for me once but I can't reproduce it.

Otherwise works nicely with resolution forcing which means you can play this game at higher resolutions without postage stamp sized FMVs.

Weird it works for me too today. It didn't yesterday and I can't remember changing any settings.

Configuration program seems to need compatibility mode for me with dgVoodoo2, but it doesn't natively.

Oh it's one of these few games who won't try to work if the VRAM reported is too low for the display resolution. That's what I did wrong, not being able to test with the config program when dgVoodoo2 was used...

BTW, why does this game want to use 3DNow on my Intel processor? (Even AMD doesn't support it now)
I always got a crash because of that when entering a new game (Tuxality installed).

Don't know why it does that, but I think that's fixed by doing
go.exe -nocputest
