Dege says he got a GOG version working too, I'm sort of curious which version that was.

I had a look at Raiden 3 again (GOG version) and it turned out that I patched the exe last year (to be able to work on rendering errors) but I didn't remember it. 😁
GOG version indeed crashes at entering a new game. The game checks D3D9 caps, if the device supports vertex blending with indexed matrices then it doesn't create some D3DX effect objects ( 😕 why?) and later crashes on a NULL ptr. dgVoodoo supports indexed matrices while a native device does not.

Btw Zell, my modified GoG executable is here, if you are interested:

http://dege.fw.hu/temp/Raiden3_modified.zip

I'm not interested personally, but if someone asks it's better to have that than saying "just go find the original Asian release of the game".

Someone actually asked me about this and I had to help them find a patched exe, maybe upload it to your patches page?

I don't know... it's the gog version...

Maybe upload a patcher, rather than the modified executable, if you're worried about copyright?

How about letting GOG know and possibly getting them to update the version the have for sale, assuming Dege is OK with that?

Contacting GOG and getting them to update games sounds about as optimistic as sending bug reports to AMD, Microsoft or Nvidia.

Well, at the very least, their knowledge base does reference a multitude of unofficial patches :

I agree that actually getting them to distribute a patched version might be harder, especially since I imagine that the rights holder would need to vet it first .
