Widescreen Gaming Forum

I've been struggling with my new PC to get late 1990s/early 2000 games to stop crashing to the Desktop. I've tried a hilariously long list of (increasingly desperate!) things to try to get them to run (as other people with Win8.1 64bit can play them!), but have not succeeded in tracking down the ...

This game relies on the Starforce protection system, which works fine in Windows XP and might work on Windows 7 if you install the SFUPDATE patch before running the game, which you can get from their official site here: m (find the link under "2. Versions before 5.5").

If installing gives you a pop-up with "Severe" and "Error Reading Install Configuration" (happens most often on 64bit machines I hear) then here's how to get around it and get the game running! This guide applies to the original UK 2 CD-ROM version of the game. If you have a different version (or ...

Hey all,

Ford Racing 2 doesn't work on anything above Windows XP due to how it calls the music (a wma filter issue). I've taken the widescreen fixes (and original 4:3 version) jackfauste made on wsgf.org and created my own batch file method of calling Windows Media Player to easily play back the ...

VR Sports Powerboat Racing by Interplay... when you fire it up you can choose between "Primary Display Driver" (i.e. Direct3D, it uses DX6 or 6.1 I believe) or "Software Only". Even on my Win8.1 64bit machine "Software Only" mode works fine, but it's limited to 320x240 so is SUPER blocky!

Also asked this on AssemberGames and VOGONS, but so far no feedback. It's not a widescreen issue, just a game-not-working issue, for anyone technically minded!

I'm trying to get the UK (if that matters) version of South Park Rally (by Tantalus/Acclaim) to work on my Win8.1 64bit PC. I've seen ...

It won't be in there, that app is to play music from CD that was streamed in an unusual way. The best bet for Ford Racing 2 is to convert the music to another format (e.g. MP3) then play it looped in the background in Media Player/another player when you run the game. Not ideal but that's all I can ...

Thank you!

It works! Okay there's no music but that's to be expected given it's in an outdated format using an unsupported driver... perhaps the next step would be to convert the music to MP3s then play them in a music player, I'll look into that perhaps!

But yes, thank you jackfuste. Please can I have a ...

Wow that's cool. I'll try it out tomo on Win7 with the original game CD and let you know what happens. What did you do exactly?

Please could you make a straight 4:3 version too, i.e. without FOV modification?

This is my first post, and almost certainly the wrong place to put it (as it's not a widescreen issue), but I figure that there's a lot of competant hacker types in here that might be able to have a look into it...

Ford Racing 2 (by Razorworks/Empire) won't work on Vista/Win7 as it tries to use ...
