So I installed it and it worked…. interestingly? I wouldn't say fine as there wre a few oddities.
So upon starting it up, it took forever on a black screen. Maybe a good 8 minutes or so? THen suddenly, it worked.So I played Forest Frontiers, I won and went to change something. ANd then suddenly BAM - the game freezes when I open a window in the game.Left it for a good half hour - music kept playing but everything froze. I had to restart.Any ideas on what happened?
Run it in compatibility mode for windows XP, lock it into 256 colors, run on 640x480 resolution. I would expect it to work since I was able to get Roller Coaster Tycoon 2 to work on windows 7, and that's the same engine.
never tried it in Windows 7 but both RCT and RCT2 run fine whenever i download them on XP, they aren't THAT old. that being said, blackhole is smarter than me so you should listen to him.
That surprises me, considering it is 98% assembly… And Win7 doesn't much like Assembly from what I've heard. I miss the old RCT. v_v
While I'm testing them on my PC (I do like playing them), I'm looking to eventually fix my mom's (read: build a new/buy a new) computer.
I'd probably put Windows 7 on there but given a lot of game she plays is Windows XP Era/before, it'll be a bad thing if she can't play. And since she's not one to mess with virtual machines and whatnot… it'll not be good if it won't run.I did run in compatibility mode (didn't toggle 256 colors as it seemed to work fine without it) and so far it works great. I think.
