With dgvoodoo applied the game shows the following error at launch: "Unable to open video device".

The log shows an error regarding enumerating primary device failing. I've attached the log.

I don't know if this would help, but in case it's an exe file incompatibility, I've included a hex export.

I don't know much about this topic; don't even know what dllmain is. I found a ddraw entry in the main exe file. I changed it to ddrav.dll and renamed dgvoodoo's ddraw file. I didn't get the error message this time but it seems the game simply ignored dgvoodoo and launched without it.

I noticed there's a d3d.vd entry in the exe file, and a file with that name in the game folder. I suppose this is the video device? I tried deleting it and renaming the d3dimm.dll file, but got the same error.

Is there anything specific I should look for?

It means that this game won't work with dgVodooo... bummer
