Using Sega PC Reloaded[1]
|
- Download the newest version of Sega PC Reloaded.
- Run
SegaPCReloaded.exe , click the "Install Game" radio button, and click the Sonic 3D Blast button.
- Put your game disc into your cd drive. Click "Select source" and select the cd drive with the disc in it. Select a folder to install the game to.
- Open Windows Media Player. Click on "Sonic 3D Blast ([cd drive])", then click the check box for every music track and click "Rip CD".
- Locate the folder where the music was ripped too. Select every file and move them to a new folder
<path-to-game>\MUSIC .
- For each music file, add 1 to the number in the file name. Your files should look something like this:
- 02 Title Theme.mp3
- 03 Game Over.mp3
- ...
- 24 Success 4.mp3
- 25 My Hero.mp3
- In your Sega PC Reloaded window, type
MUSIC in the "Music folder" text box.

Issues fixed
Poor frame rate
- Newer versions of Windows have minimal support for games that use DirectDraw, thus poor frame rate. A custom DLL file may help.
Use ddwrapper[2]
|
- Download ddwrapper from the creator's site.
- Place the downloaded
ddraw.dll and aqrit.cfg file in the installation folder.
- Change this line in your
aqrit.cfg file to "1": ForceDirectDrawEmulation = 1
- Save the file and run the game.
