Issues fixed

Installing on 64-bit versions of Windows

Manual installation
  1. Copy the ROADRASH folder to your install drive.
  2. Copy AWEMAN32.DLL, RASHICON.DLL and RASHDROP.DLL from the SETUP folder to the ROADRASH folder.
  3. Create a text file with the following content:
Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00
[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\SOFTWARE\Classes\VirtualStore\MACHINE\SOFTWARE\WOW6432Node\Electronic Arts\RoadRash 95]
"Path"="C:\\ROADRASH"
  1. Change path to your install directory, rename file extension to .reg and execute it.
  2. Start RASHME.EXE to play the game.
Use the automated Replaying.de software (requires registration)[citation needed]

Colour problems on Vista/7

  • Close the explorer process in the Task Manager before starting Road Rash, then restart it after playing. A batch file can be used to automate the process.
  • Alternatively, use the cnc-ddraw renderer. If the game is cropped off and not filling the entire screen, try an older build of cnc-ddraw, like 1.4.1.0.

MIDI music hangs post-race

Even when set to GS Wavetable Synth, if CoolSoft MIDIMapper is installed, it causes this issue. May not be the only cause.
