Re: Superbike 2001 by EA fails to launch.

Bringing this back up again to say in my W11 machine, this does not work, despite copying the exact same steps as for W10. Using the noCD replacement and DDraw.dll from ddrawcompat, with win 98/me and 16bit color compatibility, the best I get is a black screen that flickers back to desktop. No …

Re: Superbike 2001 by EA fails to launch.

@BEEN_Nath_58: Ok, I haven't been registered for enough time to send PMs so I can't follow up there - apologies if you've been waiting for a message. I shall post about GP 500 in the appropriate topic in the future. Thank you all who posted to help me with SBK 2001 (and 2000).

Re: Superbike 2001 by EA fails to launch.

I found an original crack from Class but that didn't work. Most probably the game used some unsupported components with the SafeDisc drm like Rayman 2/Tonic Trouble did. Another Win2K patched executable goes away online, it is smaller in size and has the unsupported bits removed. Btw the original …

Re: Superbike 2001 by EA fails to launch.

Hello again, I am happy to say the game works with just those simple DxCompat steps, forgoing any XP patch or other tidbits! I've shared it already with some racing folks and I got over 20 people now able to run SBK2001 and SBK2000, and I've shared it elsewhere so other racefans who ran this a …

Re: Superbike 2001 by EA fails to launch.

I have attempted this on a 64bit Windows 10 machine with 16gb of RAM and an nvidia 1080 I dunno what to tell you. I have a very similar setup but with a 1060 card. Do you have your image mounted or a disc in the drive? Did you apply win98 compatibility mode to the executable? I burned my own disc …

Re: Superbike 2001 by EA fails to launch.

gweeneth, you did not say which step failed for you, nor your OS. Did you get error messages? What happens when you run the game? I did what BEEN described, natively in Windows 10, except I didn't apply any no-cd cracks, I just mounted the image. Sorry for the delay in responding. So I have tried …

Re: Superbike 2001 by EA fails to launch.

Hello, Can the steps taken to make this work, from start to finish, please be shared here? Thank you. The steps are explained in this thread, read it from start to finish. BTW you will need W10 apparently, because W11 has a broken compatibility shim that this game requires. Hello, I did read and …
