...anyone? 😒

It seems that WC1 is not an easy game to run under Windows 2000/XP, even with VDMSound. You can have more luck if you get a copy of the Windows-compatible versions of WC1 and WC2 that are part of the Wing Commander: The Kilrathy Saga package.

You can also take a look at Adandon Loader. There is an article at Wing Commander CIC with some encouraging news about it. Anway, remember that Abandon Loader needs VDMSound, so make sure you have version 2.1.0 installed.

*sigh*

Thanks for the help. Unfortunately, it's no different than simply running the game under VDMSound directly. Oh well.

What operating system are you running, and which joystick do you have? We've seen some problems with certain joysticks before, maybe we could get some more info about yours.

By the way, can you calibrate your joystick under the Control Panel?

Regards,

The joystick is some generic, crappy Microsoft two-button joystick, my OS is XP home edition, and I can configure the joystick from the control panel.

By the way, I tried recalibrating it by moving the stick in small circles (as opposed to the whole range) but this didn't work (I think it would have made it worse. Oh well.)

Hi... sorry to revive this again after so late. Uh... I don't suppose anyone's thought of anything?

For that matter, has anyone ever been able to get WC1 to work on a modern PC, under any circumstances?
