By the way, I found out that Open1560 is based on beta version 1560 of MM1. Does that mean If I use Open1560, I will get the issues of the beta or the game will be like the beta not the final release. In what way this can affect the game? The beta is from just 12 days before retail. There is …

I just have one more question regarding MM2 hook. There is a file called MM2 hook_dll and another one called MM2 hook. What is the difference between them? Use the mm2hook_dll.zip. I'm not really sure why the other zip was added. By the way, I found out that Open1560 is based on beta version 1560 …

Yeah I know. However, if the resolution is forced using dgvoodoo somehow the game window becomes forced according to the resolution set although the menu is 640x480. Like the menu still fills the screen and is 640x480 and appear normal, but you no longer see the usual screen flicker as if the …

Ok. Thanks a lot. What about the menu in Open1560? Can it become resolution and aspect ratio aware to have appropriate scaling for each resolution and aspect ratio or this is really very difficult to do? The menu is always 640x480, and is made up of images, so there's not really any way to scale it …

By the way, is there a possibility for the original OpenMM1 to have fixed menu audio too? I really like the original OpenMM1 and I use it for trying different settings with dgvoodoo. If it can be fixed then that would be really amazing. I would like to try both OpenMM1 and Open1560. Thanks a lot …

Thank you for your responses. It seems the issue is likely with the Cmedia 8738 sound card. On removing the audio drivers, the game runs without any error albeit with no music/sound. Then tried using a different sound card (1938s Solo-1) with WDM drivers and the game loaded as well with music/sound …

Does the -nofovfix work for OpenMM1? Yes, but why use OpenMM1? Development has moved to Open1560, which already has all the features of OpenMM1 and more. I actually still don't know where to insert the -nofovfix or any commands in either Open1560 or OpenMM1 https://www.bleepingcomputer.com/ …

I inserted another game CD having CD audio. I disabled CDProxy Emu, the audio music doesn't work anymore. Only MM1's music works for me. Could you explain the 'cdid.txt' to me again? To check if a CD is the game CD, the game checks if there is a file named "cdid.txt" on the disk. If that file …

Is the empty spaces on the sides for the dashboard view is fixed? For MM2, someone was able to fix it by a .ar file that could be copied to the game directory. I am not sure how it can work for MM1. There is a similar mod for MM1: http://www.mm2x.com/modules.php?name=Downloads&op=getit&lid=2124 . …

For the sound to work in the main menu, you need to have the original game CD (Enhanced CD Format) inserted to have sounds in the menu. I have the game cd in Enhanced Audio format. As said, the music plays when i launch the game. If i start a race and quit to main menu the music no longer plays. …

The game is Midtown Madness 1 with some patches. I did some testing and you are right about about the invalid pitch being app defined, as the DDSURFACEDESC2 is loaded from a 16-bit image, but then the ddpfPixelFormat of that surface is overwritten with a 32-bit format, before being passed to …
