Briland Posted August 20, 2016 Share Posted August 20, 2016 I have been attempting to get Rock Raiders running on Windows 10. At first I tried a basic installation from the CD despite the lack of success I saw from members here. Compatibility settings: Windows XP sp3 16 bit color I got the game to show the brick fall Lego screen but it would immediately crash afterwards . I then followed this guide and set up Rock Raiders on an XP VM. Rock Raiders installed properly and would load into the display device selection menu. After selecting windowed with RGB software emulation and clicking OK the program crashes without error. VM Display settings: Spoiler System: Winows 10 x64 i7-6700k NVIDIA GTX 1080 32 Gb RAM Windows XP x32 running on VirtualBox Installed from my original English Rock Raiders disk (Part #2299691) with DRM. LegoRR.icd - 720kb Lair 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
aidenpons Posted August 23, 2016 Share Posted August 23, 2016 After selecting windowed with RGB software emulation RGB software emulation There's your problem! Can you run the game with Direct 3D HAL? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Briland Posted August 23, 2016 Author Share Posted August 23, 2016 It doesn't show the option to inside the XP VM. Which I found odd because the guide had it there in the screenshot. When I run outside it does. But clearly doesn't work outside. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I asked the same question recently and no one had an answer. I think it might be possible to emulate direct3D with OS's older than XP like 2000 and 98 but I haven't tried.

aidenpons Posted August 24, 2016 Share Posted August 24, 2016 Ignore the XP VM; Grab this dll and shove it straight into your LRR directory. Then tell LRR to run it 16-bit colour mode. That should work (for both Ringtail and Briland). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lair Posted August 24, 2016 Share Posted August 24, 2016 Rock Raiders won't even start without that DLL dude. Still refuses to run in 3DHal mode. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ah, it is modified from the original .dll. I think it's extracted from LI1, which has a different d3drm.dll. Don't ask me why. EDIT: wait never saw Ringtail's post... I'm well aware my solutions aren't working, but they're solutions that seem to work for me, and while they may be laughably incorrect nobody else has offered anything... I'm just trying (and failing) to help. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lair Posted August 25, 2016 Share Posted August 25, 2016 ok yeah it's different than the DLL I had but it still won't let me run 3DHal mode. RGB mode runs and crashes as soon as the menu music tries to start. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
