My next hints came when it came to tearing apart the RBX archive files in the game. A slowdown tool was not the ultimate solution I was looking for anyhow. I considered trying the commercial Mo’Slo program but didn’t want to buy it without first knowing it works with MiniGolf. I then tried some free slowdown utilities but go nowhere with those. All I really learned was that version 4.x of the file = no sound in MiniGolf, and 5.x+ = the usual sound/breaking. Thus, on that line of thought, I started collecting every version of DSOUND.DLL I could find and dropping it into the MiniGolf folder to see what happens. I had just gone through fixing a sound problem with Worms Crazy Golf which requires installing DirectX 9 in addition to the current DirectX (on my very old but now Windows 10 laptop). So, after poking that solution a bit, I started looking deeper into things like DirectX and DirectSound. Therefore, if you like the work I’ve done here, give that video a “like” - it’s the least we can do to thank them. That solution to turn off the sound effects was just the clue I needed to hook me into looking into this more. Therefore, I took a look around for any new developments and, SURPRISE!, I found this YouTube video (from 2011, that I missed finding in 2011): There are surprisingly few (or none) that met my criteria, so my thoughts went back to 3D Ultra MiniGolf and its network and online capabilities (now dead - take notice WON2 and Steam). Recently, however, I started looking for some simple, cooperative and/or social, online games to play with friends and family. It didn’t go very far other than getting Creep Night working with the help of the, aptly named, Sierra Help Pages. This quest (because Sierra likes the word “quest”) to get my copies of 3D Ultra Pinball and 3D Ultra MiniGolf working on Windows 7 started back in 2011. I know I am far from being any sort of guru on fixing up old computer games… but I do enjoy my small victory here with these patches. GRITS Racing is a party game for up to 8 players that is part racecar simulator, part cartoon action. Then please help me spread the word about my retail game: Want to help support my classic game preservation efforts? Copying in any error text from the DOS install window would also be helpful. Thank you.Īlso, please report Windows version and 32 or 64 bit. Issues can be reported through comments on this blog, but it would be far easier to keep track of conversations if you report issues on the RBXIT Issue page on GitHub. Hence, why I point my comments on other sites here instead of to the current locale. Should they ever move from their current location, I will try to keep this post updated with the new location. If I can’t determine how popular they might be by the traffic, then why should I make more? Please do not steal these game patches by hosting them on your own site.
