I'm jumping in waaaay at the end here. I've been fighting to get Mercenaries 95 running for quite a while now. I've got all the dos versions running, had them for probably 10 years at least. I've got all the titanium versions running, yuck, but the salvage. I really want to try to get mercs 95 1.1 running. I've started from the beginning of this thread and I seem to be getting nowhere.
I have an archos tablet and dell latitude both running win7 32 bit, two legion laptops, one is a y520, one is a Loq, both on win 11 64, and a legion go on win 11 64 I believe. The two win 7 machines run the titanium versions, and I don't think my win 11s will. The Legion Go seems to be the friendliest with allll the old mech games, I've got mech 3 and 4 running well on it, and the y520 is next after that, been using the 520 the longest. Have had everything but the windows versions of mw2 running on it. I forgot, I've also got an old laptop running 98, another Dell I believe it was. I may have gotten mercs native running on it but the performance was so bad it was unplayable.
All that to say, I may not know what I'm doing, but I sure have put a lot of miles down trying to get somewhere with this.
I'm currently trying the dxwnd route on win11 but I feel like I've got blinders on and I'm missing something. Any help or pointers would be appreciated.
