Haha. Does anyone need the ISO? It's only 25 MB. It HAS to be run in Windows 98. It will not work on XP. Also, make sure you have a sound card >= soundblaster because you need to have the sound to have the full experience. Here is a screenshot.

can't you run the app in compatibility mode?

right click - properties - compatibility
run this program in compatibility mode for:
windows 98 / me

Even in Compatibility mode it'll fuck up. Trust me. I've spent hours on this. It's either that, or the version I have is fucked. Either way, we might be able to set up Hamachi in a VM and it to look like we are all on the same "lan" and then run the IPX games. If not, then we'll most likely have to set up an internet game.

if anyone gets it running in XP please tell how! I would like to avoid using a VM and just boot XP on my MacBook.

Ok .. So loading up this shit in a VM. Here is what happens.

windows XP VMWare Fusion with 1GB of ram -

Mounting the ISO works. Here is the first error:

Now setup.exe to compatibility mode:

And Wha La!:

http://a.imagehost.org/dl/f72b603273f57924d48 … la_5_1.png

Success?:

http://a.imagehost.org/dl/4f49583490a659d49aa … la_6_1.png

Nope!:

http://a.imagehost.org/dl/e57a166ee6f809c1153 … la_7_1.png

If you install DirectPlay, then I'm pretty sure you will get ANOTHER error with sc2k.exe crashing or some shit. IF you can bypass this, then by all means tell me. I've spent HOURS on getting it to work. My Win98 VM is the closest thing. :)
