It's been a while since I played any WC games and I just updated my system. It is still rather old by today's terms but it plays many games that I still enjoy. I'm running into all sorts of problems with my older games. Some have patches and fixes, some I have to manually alter INI files, etc. I have the entire collection of original (non-GOG / downloaded) Wing Commander games. All of the DOS ones I can create images of the discs and use DOSBox on. One of my pride and joy items is the WC4 Dual Layer DVD that came with my old DXR2 board. Obviously I cannot use that board anymore and I have it sitting in an "old parts" bin. I'm trying to get this to run. I've installed it and tried the various fixes like dxmci15 as well as various compatibility modes (98 / XP SP3 / 7). Nothing seems to work. When I launch the wc4dvd.exe it crashes.
Has anyone gotten this to work on a Windows 10 64Bit machine? I have the 6 CD Dos version so if I have to go back to that I can try it but would certainly prefer the DVD/VOB based one for the better movie clips.
I tried searching the forums and following the recommendations but nothing seems to work. Is there a proven step by step? Do I need the Windows 2000 patch (I would think not)?
Thanks in advance if anyone can help. Worst case, maybe I just do like a VM in Windows 10 for an older OS.
