Well, a messy solution, but something to try if you get no other suggestions: install MSI Afterburner and use MSI OSD server to limit framerate. You'll probably need KernelEx to get past the installation. I doubt this will work at all.

Better solution: try to get a XP computer (or Win7, that's what I'm running the game in). Of course if you get a better computer then emulating the PSX version might be better, ship shadows and UI filtering on the PC version is ugly. Then again with the PC version you get slightly more responsive controls and less Red Bull advertising.

Worked for me for lots of DOS and Windows games 😎

I'll be an oddball and suggest a PowerVR PCX2 to act as a GPU bottleneck. It usually does 21fps at best in 1024x768 and it can run Wipeout 2 at that resolution.

That cracked me up and it's creative... Love to see the ingenuity of retro computer users 🤣

I can't test this theory right now though, my fast PowerVR system has a Geforce card at the moment (which makes PVR D3D HAL crash)

I dont know id it will help your particular situation but replacing the Wipeout2.exe with the one in the attached archive works for me

I just tried Wipeout XL with the PCX2 in a P4.... even in 640x480 it'll run at a playable 20-30fps, theory works but you have to put up with the lack of additive blend for the effects. 😀

Thank you! It's working for me 😀
