#PLAYING POD RACER ON WIN 10 INSTALL#
I recommend C:\Games\PodRacerģ) Before you run the game, install the latest official patch for the game (attached to this post). Install the game to a location where account protection will not cause any problems. It is created by Vogons community member AxXxB.Ģ) After you install InstallShield Wrapper, just go to the Podracer game CD and run setup.exe. In order to make it run, you should download and install OpenSource InstallShield Wrapper to your PC, from the link below. Installation Using the Original Installerġ) Game's original installer will not run on 64bit OSs. It also sets single core affinity automatically. I recommend you to try the updated sound patch (dll) if you experience any random crashes or freezes.Ĩ ) The third party game launcher includes widescreen hack (automated hex editor) and game configuration tool. You can find the updated sound DLL in the official patch that I attached to this post.ħ) You might not need the sound patch, but I noticed that some of the random crashes, loading screen freezes and cutscene video freezes on my computer were sound related. If the game starts in a small rectangle on the top left side of the screen, choose "Centered, Keep Aspect Ratio" or "Stretched, Keep Aspect Ratio" as the scaling setting of dgVoodoo2.Ħ) Third party installer contains the latest EXE patch for the game, but it does not include the sound DLL patch. Just replace it with the latest version of dgVoodoo2.ĥ) If the game does not start, make sure to check "Fast Video Memory Access" setting on dgVoodoo2 control panel. I recommend C:\Games\PodRacerĤ) Installer contains an old version of dgVoodoo2. It contains everything you need to get the game up and running (official patch, dgVoodoo2, LAN multiplayer fix, widescreen fix, single core affinity fix)ġ) Download the third party installer created by SagaraS from the link below.ģ) Install the game to a location where user account protection will not cause any problems. Installation Using Third Party Installer (Highly Recommended)

File download links are down, but I got them from another internet archive FTP link. Patch includes separate game exes for each version and a sound DLL that works with both versions.

Lucas Arts released a patch for the USA and International versions of the game. If you have the single CD version and if it is in English, you surely have the US English version.

There is also a DVD version named "Star Wars Episode I DVD Collection" that contains 3 games: Star Wars Episode I Racer, Star Star Wars Episode I The Phantom Menace, Star Wars Episode 1 Insider's Guide. International versions are in foreign languages (Spanish, French, Italian, Russian, etc.). The most widely available one is the US English version. There are multiple versions of this game. This game is a prime candidate for inclusion into GOG catalog by using dgVoodoo2.
#PLAYING POD RACER ON WIN 10 UPDATE#
I will try to update the bug list as people keep reporting bugs. I summarized the bugs in a separate short post below. The game works well via dgVooodo2 but there are some remaining bugs. You will get white screen or black screen in 3D scenes if you try to run the game natively. The game does not work natively on most modern systems. I hope we can share tips, tricks and bug reports for this game on this thread.
#PLAYING POD RACER ON WIN 10 WINDOWS 7#
I tested all these on Windows 7 Ultimate Edition 64bit OS. This will mostly be a guide to running the game via dgVoodoo2 since this is the dgVoodoo2 forum, but I will also talk about other Vogons projects that can be complementary. I want to dedicate this thread to "Star Wars Episode I: Racer" (aka Podracer) game.
