I need help with two games made by the now defunct The Adventure Company. Murder on the Orient Express and And Then There Were None. Both based on Agatha Christie novels, And Then There Were None was released in October 2005, Orient Express in November 2006 for PC.

There aren't a whole lot of graphical options in these two games and the only one not turned on by default is Anti-aliasing. There's no V-sync setting, resolution setting, etc... I'd be more than happy to run these two in a window if that could be figured out. I'm on Windows 10 Professional 64 bit Edition. My monitor has a resolution of 1920x1080. Pretty sure I'd never be able to get these two running in full screen decently so I'd be more than happy with windowed mode.

This games can't be widescreen, they using pre-rendered background images with fixed sizes (800x600 or 1024x768).

You can use dgVoodoo 2 wrapper to force resolution.
  • Download - dgVoodoo2 wrapper
  • Copy D3D8.dll file from dgVoodoo2_54\MS\ to the game folder
  • Run dgVoodooSetup.exe
  • At "General" tab, choice "Scaling mode" - "Stretched, 4:3 Aspect Ratio" or just "Stretched".
  • At "DirectX" tab:
    uncheck "dgVoodoo Watermark";
    uncheck "Disable Alt-Enter to toggle screen state";
    set "VRAM" - 1024 MB;
    set "Filtering" - "Force anisotropic 16x"
    set "Antialiasing (MSAA)" - "8x"
    set "Resolution" - "Max FHD"
  • Run game

If you need windowed mode just press Alt+Enter.
