Not able to take recording or screenshots from the black screen nor menu.

Menu is light blue after Alt+Tab, and the text is somehow visible when I hover over it.
Character select screen does show the head, and the scooter. But that's about it. Not able to get in-game.

Attempted all cards and fiddled around with the options, both in 16 and 32 bit color depth.

DX passtru would likely work if there was an option to invert or adjust the palette, since it does work w. Win10 ddraw.dll apart from the colors.
I could get a screenshot from that which is attached.

How it should look in menu and in-game: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YyWJXluNf7M

Game is from 2001, DX7 as far as I can tell. GF4 Ti 4800 seems to be nearest, and maybe Matrox.

Vendor is Valusoft.
Title is sometimes referred to as "X Scooter", sometimes as "X-Scooter".

Not sure which info site I can refer without violating rules.

Machine specs:
Core i5-4590S
Geforce GTX 750 Ti w. 516.94 vanilla drivers
Win10 21H2

Edit: Added machine specs.

If you just want to play this game, I think GOG's wrapper (included with for example Metal Gear Solid) should work. Not that I can say for sure, but I tried a game that's probably using the same engine (Scooter Pro, seems like exactly the same game).

I don't have this game but it seems to be the same problem as Scooter Pro, for which I made a patch some time ago:

Bumpmap texture format picked as color texture format...

Thanks so much. Exact same issue. Gone after applying your patch accordingly.
