Is there a way to make this game work on Windows XP? The one I have is the Xplosiv re-release.

When I boot the game it says "Panzer Dragoon error - Not Flip (DirectDraw)". I know SEGA released a modified demo version of PD in 2002 to match XBox's Panzer Dragoon Orta release. Is not there a way to modify this demo or use the extra files present in the demo folder to work with the full release?

Thanks in advance.

Not entirely sure what to suggest, I have the original ye olde Sega PC version and it works fine for me...

Does the game install okay? You could try turning acceleration of DirectDraw off in DXDiag I suppose.

My PC spec: Win10 64bit, i7-4970K (not overclocked), KFA2 GeForce RTX 2070 SUPER, Creative Soundblaster ZXr, 16GB RAM, Asus Z97-A motherboard, NZXT 410 case, ROG Swift GSYNC monitor

Thank you!!! It worked! The game finally booted after I disabled acceleration of Direct Draw... I just had to change the screen resolution to 640x480 in the main menu of the game and now it runs flawlessy. Awesome! I can't thank you enough!

Heh cool, doing this also helps in some other old Sega games. Another tip (at least for me) to make Daytona USA or Sega Rally Championship not go fast/slow/fast/slow is to load DxDiag then start the game... thought that might be because the games don't like HyperThreading (I have Pentium4).
