Hey,

I found this game I used to play a very long time ago and I wanted to experience it again. Unfortunately I wasn't able to run it in Windows 10 / Windows XP SP3 VM because it would lag on modern hardware.

Here is what you need to do in order to get the game running:

1. Search for "Midtown Madness 2 (Europe) (Rerelease)" on TPB and download it
2. Load the disk with WinCDEmu or other solution
3. Install the game (don't launch it)
4. Enable DirectPlay on Windows
5. Copy Crack\midtown2.exe to the gamefolder
6. Download dgVoodoo2 from http://dege.freeweb.hu/dgVoodoo2/dgVoodoo2/
7. Copy dgVoodoo2.exe to the game folder
8. Copy all files inside MS\x86 to the game folder as well
9. Run dgVoodoo2.exe as admin and set the following:

• Click the button .\ to create config file to MM directory
• In "General" > "Output API" select "Direct3D 11 MS WARP (software)"
• Go to "DirectX" tab and change the VRAM to 128MB
• Click "Apply" > "OK" to exit.

10. Launch the game > Options > Graphics > select from Display drop down menu, "dgVoodoo DirectX Wrapper" > "Hardware (3D video card with T&L) from the Renderer drop menu.
11. Click "Done" and that's it!

Note that whenever you change the resolution it won't apply any changes to the game menu - you'll only see it once you start a race.

Midtown Madness 2 should now run very smoothly under Windows 10, even on Virtual Machines. Enjoy.
