Play the game on modern systems

Use dgVoodoo[citation needed]

  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.

Run without CD

Modify the game's shortcut and add -cdrom parameter

Not always necessary.
You 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 in GameData\World\Sound to the game location (e.g. they're ambient sounds).
