Used to play this game for ages, both on my XP pc and on my 7 pc with no issues at all. Now I can't get it to run on my win 10 pc and VMs.
So far I tried:
DGVoodoo (It doesn't seem to change anything at all)
Running the game with / without DEP prevention
Adding d3drm.dll to the folder (it asks for it when I try to run it in a VM, but it doesn't seem to make any difference to the white screen issue)
Compatibility mode

What could be the problem? There has to be a crucial dll or something missing because it has to work on 7/XP out of the box with no issues. I tried running a reflexive arcade installer instead of just running engine.exe from a pre-installed folder I saved onto my flash drive but nothing changes.
The setup.exe for the game runs (it's an options menu for things like an FPS counter/bumpiness(?)/etc) without issues.
I managed to get a different error by accidentally running several instances of the game in a XP VM which got me an endless stream of violation errors, but the window was still white.
Thanks in advance. I can provide the files for the game if necessary.

Wait, I just messed around a bit more and got it running. "Dgvoodo virtual svga card" in the directx menu is what seemingly makes it work. I'll keep the post up so others can find this solution too
