dcbstudios Posted June 1, 2019 Share Posted June 1, 2019 I've been trying to get what Lego games I still own from way back when installed for my nieces and nephews to play when they come over. ----PROBLEM----- After running the installation from the CD, following through with DirectX add-on, game starts but immediately becomes black screen and can hear error pop up noise. Hitting ENTER, ATL-F4, or ESC clears black screen, returning to desktop. -----------HOST system------------ Emachines ET1810-03R Dual Core Pentium E2210 64Bit NVIDIA C73 GeForce 7100/nForce 620i Linux Mint 19.1 Tessa 4 GB Ram ---GUEST (Virtualbox) system:--- Windows XP SP3 X86-Based PC X86 Family 6 Model 23 Stepping 6 Genuine Intel ~2200Mhz 1 GB VRam ----------STEPS TAKEN ---------- - Installed Oracle VM Virtualbox Guest Additions, including Direct 3D which had to be done via SAFE MODE. - Enabled the "... 3D Acceleration" tick box in the DISPLAY section of the VirtualBox settings for this VM System - Changed the display settings in the Windows XP portion to 800x600 with 16bit color. - Tried running in compatability mode for Windows 98/2000 - Tried using a 32 bit installer as recommended in a separate forum post on RRU, versus the 16 bit (I'm assuming) that comes pre packed in the CD. -----------NOTES ---------- - From what I understand or read that others have seen... The error noise could be coupled with a error regarding 3D Graphics Accelerator not initializing or something similar, however I can't see the error as the screen is all black.
