I am currently trying to run David Douillet Judo (or its demo) on Windows 10. The game originally supported 98 through XP.
What happens is that the game shows the splashscrens, after that the screen stays black, the GPU is used slightly, and rougly one CPU core is used.
I tried the following:
- Setting XP compatibility mode
- Running as administrator
- Running in a lower resolution and in a window
- Switching between the IGP (Vega 7 in Ryzen 7 4800H) and the GPU (Geforce 2060 mobile)
- Trying D3D wrappers. (The game links to DirectX 9 DLLs). dgVoodoo2 seems to be used since its logo is shown in the lower right corner, but the rest of the screen stays blank.
I suppose the next step would be to run it under XP in a VM. Which virtualization software is recommended to get 3D acceleration in an XP VM? I suppose the performance does not have to be very high if that is an issue, the game is from 2006.
Or are there other options?
The demo is available on archive.org: https://archive.org/download/DavidDouilletJudoDemo
