Deadly Dozen 1 and 2

Post by Diem »

Hello, first I apologize for my English.
I'm playing again 2 wonderful games (Deadly Dozen 1 and 2), my monitor supports 1360x768 but these old games only support 1024x768.

I tried searching a configuration file without success.
I have looked at the database and none of these 2 game is in it.

Is there any way to make them work to 1360x768?

Thanks in advance.

I have a GTX 770 4gb with the latest Nvidia drivers. I've just started playing Deadly Dozen 1 & 2 using windows 7 & 10, but because they are old games, the only resolution I get is 640x480 in 16bit colour only. Using Windows XP I can get up to 1280x1024. I would love to play the game at 1080p. Using dgVooDoo2 I can get 1920x1080 and both games with forced AA look pretty good, unfortunately for some reason the keys and mouse are disabled while playing which makes the game unplayable. Anybody got an idea why this is? A fix would be great!

Thanks!

In reply to Diem, the only way to get that resolution is to add it as a custom resolution in your video control panel and then see if it comes up during the game setup as an option. If you have a Nvidia graphics card you should try adding higher custom resolutions ( Down Sampling). Here's a good guide on how to do it.

My 24" Benq monitor is 1920x1080, but using this method I can get up to 3600x2025.

Yes Deadly Dozen 1 is indeed broken - no Mouse Button support. But Deadly Dozen 2 runs without any problems with dgVoodoo, i will make a DR later.

EDIT: Nope i was to fast - the Keybord Buttons on the second Game are too broken.....but the Widescreen works.
