Speed Busters is another game to add to the pile of incompatible Windows 95 games then.......
Game is running fast doesn't mean it is incompatible. That's a reason why wrappers exist, to replace an non-working FPS cap supplied by new DDraw. dgVoodoo2, DxWnd, ddwrapper can cap the frame rate and make them run at a normal speed. Even games such as Descent 2, which have problems in DOS version running the game on a fast CPU, the Windows 95 version works properly when capped to 60FPS.
I have the game on Windows 11, I will try it sometime.
Hard pass and misunderstanding.
I recently bought a Windows 98SE gaming rig to play Win 95 and 98 games on period correct hardware, not to have it as a dust collector. 😑
