[[] Official website]
Disc check (requires the CD/DVD in the drive to play)
 Known as "Special Edition". Usually available as abandonware. Added with Compaq computers. It has MaiD3Dvr.exe instead of Tonic Trouble.exe binary. No need of modern system binary patch (only dgVoodoo or Wine). Incompatible with widescreen patch.
Windows

Essential improvements

Play the game on modern systems

Use dgVoodoo[citation needed]
  1. Install the game using SETUP.exe included in the retail CD.
  2. Download the latest version of dgVoodoo 2.
  3. Copy dgVoodoo2 files in the main game directory for Glide or DirectX support.
  4. Launch original config tool.
  5. Launch game using installed link.

Run without CD

Modify the game's shortcut and add -cdrom:X parameter where X is your drive letter[2]
Use custom launcher (not for Special Edition)[3]
Allows to avoid copying extra files or the CD presence itself.
Patched binary has the "\Videos" folder location patched to the game folder. You can copy them manually to use by the game.
Additionally you can copy from the game disk all .MPX files and .DSC in GameData\World\Sound to the game location (e.g. they're ambient sounds).

In case of no startup of the game (even with dgVoodoo or Wine) use patched binary due to binary incompatibility with Vista and up due to binary compression method on all versions except french [6].
