From everything I've gathered, this is my suggestion, run either IGI.exe or the emulator following these (whichever exe is loading the ISO)


Set compatibility mode to Window XP SP3 in file properties

Set always run as administrator (all users checkbox)

Set your GPU Control Panel to cap at 30 FPS and turn off V-Sync, running at 1920x1080 @60hz

Make sure you have a 32-bit version of DirectX 7 (suggest 32+64)

then do either A or B assuming an exe

Run program in C:\Program Files (x86)\Folder\path_to.exe (also right click exe and run as admin, windows can be stupid)

or

Run a command prompt as administrator and type this (file in same location)


Code:
START /B /I /AFFINITY 1 "C:\Program Files (x86)\Folder\path_to.exe"

That ^ runs the program off a single processor

Assuming your running from ISO burned to CD, I suggest using Alcohol 120 as it has all the correct formats for things such as PS2 and old Windows Protection, as well as using an 80 minute CD-Rom.

View attachment 10076

The second data track is usually one form of protection, as well as simple metadata which would take the place of " CD-Text"

Just some general idea from what i read and what usually works, if you emulating it may very well be the emu with the old game, and if your using an emulated drive to load the ISO that may be your problem as well.
Tried everything, doesn't work. 🤧

It was also designed to run on Windows 32-bit, but thats alot of work over one game :ROFLMAO:

Few more ideas...

Try to unzip it yourself to see where the files go and copy all the Windows System32 files into SysWow and the folder with the EXE file.


Try booting into recovery mode and running it from the command Prompt (it launched into 32-Bit on my 64-Bit Windows 7)...i don't remember if Win 10 does it as well off the top of my head, but can't hurt to try.


Emulate Windows XP preferably using Microsofts version if you have Windows 10 pro or above, even old interrupts in Turbo C++ work with that (crashes most other popular ones)

or if all else fails...

Congratulations on finding a home
congrats with new home friend

now its relax timeee
Thanks fellas...unfortunately can't relax just yet...family is still being gay without a fucking lease in hand (as if that can be done in a day 🤦‍♂️) and i never got the application...gotta crash now and make sure nothing went wrong with what they told me to do in the AM.

I can relax when I'm dead I guess...unless my mother dies before me and haunts me in the afterlife :ROFLMAO:

Seriously though, appreciate it...just a little bit longer, little more BS....its the home stretch (y)

Maybe not. I asked for everything when I first found The Lair too. 😁
Well, I was saving space too, they've been here since 2020 and every single post was the same as those 🤫

Literally nothing between except thanks for a keydrop ;)

I had more reason than just NOT knowing them earlier to deny them...I checked because of not knowing them and not getting a response.

I know.. But find me a better word for the purpose I need it xD

I wouldn't make another acc or change accs
It's 1 in a million this will work with steam limits but I have nothing to lose to try..

Even though steam usually has the best regional prices, it's still a looooong way from perfect (or fair)



Pm sent :D

Preinstalled HerroBarrier brand new Turkish steam account with email sent

Enjoy

You missed the point I think :LOL:

I believe she wanted to see if it COULD be gifted more than she wanted the game.

Still a Boss move, no doubt (y)

EDIT:

You do realize you just sent a single game account to a girl with like 4K games in hers right?

Just saying :ROFLMAO:

Ironically, i bet more than the accounts worth she'll still play it lmao.
