Mechwarrior 2 Mercenaries on Windows 10 64 bit

Post by SamVision »

So I just found a cd for Mechwarrior 2 Mercenaries and I've been itching to play it. Obviously it is not going to work on Windows 10. Is there some method to running the 3dfx version on Win 10? I've tried some methods I found elsewhere, but they all lead me to a dead end.

Unfortunately, if it's the 3dfx-specific version you have, you are facing two problems: firstly you need to figure out how to make the game run on Windows, then you need to figure out a Glide wrapper. If it were the DOS version, you might have luck putting it through DOSBox, but for the version you have, PCem seems like the only thing that'll run it, and I'm not aware of a good guide to setting that up (I've only ever managed to get barebones MS-DOS working on it before).
