no you don't post warez links here, next time I will wipe your post-topic I have both version 0.73 and the latest 0.74 of DOSbox (bear with me - I am technologically handicapped.) There also didn't seem to be a final solution posted in the thread, so I will with as much detail as possible try to describe the problem here: Any comment and suggestion are welcome, especially since the program homepage is my blog.Alright - I've scoured through these forums and I DID find a thread on this problem, however it was pretty old and the same issue which occured and was trying to be treated in it, was at the time being run in XP. Hope I made a life of an old-gamers and fans a little easier. This method should work for Age of Empires as well but has not been really tested.
If you managed to solve problems with a game which is not in the list, you could help the project leaving a comment on the site.Īt the current moment color corruption has been fixed for Fallout 1, Fallout 2, Worms Armageddon (version 3.6.29), WarCraft 2 Edition and Theme Hospital. Click 'homepage' link in the upper right corner of the program window to get there. Updated list of the supported games will be published on the DirectDraw Compatibility Tool web-page. In the latter case one redundant registry key will be created.
#THEME HOSPITAL DOWNLOAD WINDOWS 7 64 BIT MANUAL#
Manual application of the reg-file from the 32-bit Windows most probably will not give a positive result on the 64-bit OS but reg-file from the 64-bit Windows could be used on the 32-bit OS version seamlessly. In the case of the automatic rule creation ('Apply' button) DirectDraw Compatibility Tool detects Windows version itself. I need to admit that reg-files are different for 32- and 64-bit Windows (64-bit version has keys in the additional registry brunch). This file could be imported into the registry manually or distributed along with the game. 'Create reg-file' button allows to export compatibility rule as a Windows registry file.
If 'Pathname of the target exe-file' is empty, button 'Apply' will open the file selection dialog. For example Worms Armageddon version 1.3 doesn't run under Windows 7 圆4, meanwhile version 3.6.29 processed with the Compatibility Tool runs smoothly under that OS. But it's probable that there are some other problems which have to be solved with different tools or could not be solved at all. If problems where caused by incompatibility on DirectDraw level they should cease immediately after rule creation.
When field 'Pathname of the target exe-file' contains desired game, on button-press it will be analyzed and corresponding rule will be formed. 'Apply' button allows to automatically create compatibility rule. save compatibility rules to the reg-file. create compatibility rules for a given game
DirectDraw Compatibility Tool allows to completely automate process of compatibility rules creation.ĭirectDraw Compatibility Tool has two operation modes: But to invoke compatibility mode there should be information about specific exe-file in the corresponding part of the registry. Both Windows Vista and Windows 7 have built-in compatibility tools for such games. Original author: Galogen, English Localization by AlchemistĭirectDraw Compatibility Tool is designed to fix color palette corruption in the old games (Fallout, Age of Empires, Worms Armageddon, Theme Hospital and other from the second half of the 90th).Ĭorruption occurs because of incompatibility between graphical interface Windows Aero and games intended to work with DirectX 7 DirectDraw or an older DirectX version.
