I am glad this was posted. THank you....

Its alot of good possibilities, as many of you are aware, I do not have Windows8 but am always looking for solutions for my friends who have windows8. Going to see if these solutions work. I believe there is a possibility it will work for those games with directx issues. I recommend anyone else...

great video.... Certainly helps people when picking and choosing. I see alot of OpenGl based games and dosbox games don't use directx. If you got the goods to help me with DDF8 I would be much appreciative.

I also run Atari ST emulators, and I have my Original 1985 on the internet with cab, as well as my megast, ste, megastes, TT , and falcon. I been around the block alot. I up your bluntness by one and call lol... However, I have always considered ST users the best of the best, and I have...

thank you for saying this, so I didn't have. to reinforce it, so people aren't confused by the myth of older software. The compatibility with older versions of Directx IS SUPPORTED, Backwards Compatible, Just like it is on Windows7 and Vista, thus Directx newest version is backwards...

Really happy to see you post that on tech forum. The problem while existing with Directx8 , 8.1 emulation, I have also see it with directx9 emulation on windows8 as well. The first responses I predict you will receive on that forum will be how to use the compatibiliy features , and all the...

To be VERY BLUNT!!! THE PROBLEM IS WINDOWS8 Put NO faith in those that say , if it ran on Windows7, it will run on Windows8. The fact is, the changes in Windows8 makes games run REALLY REALLY REALLY REALLY... REEEEALLLLLYYYYYY SLLLLLLLLLLLLLOWW. However, sometimes you do get lucky with the...

It sounds like you downloaded it. Thank you for testing, thats all I can say and I VERY MUCH appreciate your attempt to help out :cool: The game follows Directx 8.1 guidelines, which is fully backwards compatible with 9, 10 and 11. GT Legends uses Directx9, And I can play it flawlessly with a...

No that is the game that I need tested on Windows8. I have spent alot of time on it over the years and would love to see it working fullspeed on Windows8. I make cars based on real cars for drivers and place them in the game quote author=derby111 link=topic=204.msg4269#msg4269...

Its a straight forward Mediafire download, the zip file is an executable that will self extract when you run the program. Sometimes Mediafire takes a few attempts , if the download got interrupted. Its got over 6000 downloads as of now... but everynow and again mediafire glitches.

Here is a link to the files. I have them stored on Mediafire. Don't get tricked by adverstisements and popups. Game is defaulted to work on vista/windows7 DON'T download the XP patch, that is for older computers.. ;)...

Gamers are a big part of Microsofts Business, they just aren't always aware of it lol. The Game I have trouble with uses DirectX8, it plays perfect , perfectly slow that is, yet plays fine on any setup using Windows95 to Windows7. Gettign strange smoke would be normal in Mafia as you are using...

Sounds more like a placebo effect. Seeing the same games on Windows7 run slower on Windows 8 tells me there are many variables that affect the speed of a game. I wouldn't expect a program to run faster in Windows8 unless its been programed to take advantage of the changes. And few have. With...

Since you are having such a great success in having old games run correctly , can you test the game I uploaded to this forum?

Its unfortunate at this time as there is no real reason for older games frame rates to drop. Windows8 was SUPPOSED to have the same compatibility as Windows7 and play games better. Its a glitch in Windows8, and Its unknown at this time if MS intends to fix the compatibility issues or just move...

That solution has appeared in other threads and forums, I am glad to see these alternative solutions working.

LOL, BIG HMMM>>>>> :p Perhaps they consider it compatible if it works, not if it works at a playable framerate... I see the feedback is 0 for 13 regarding it working...

Stronghold crusader uses DirectX7. Windows8 newest version of directx is 11.2 if i recall correctly. This version emulates older versions of Direct x exactly like Windows7 , except.... it appears the screwed it up. Windows8 compatibility is pretty strong, and that is why the game works, (Looks...

I am really really really looking for some feedback. I take it either no one has downloaded the game, or some have but not bothered to let me know if it works or doesn't on their setups. Either way I will keep this post up for a while longer before closing the thread.. Please if you have a...
