Hey,
I found this game I used to play a very long time ago and I wanted to experience it again. Unfortunately I wasn’t able to run it in Windows 10 / Windows XP SP3 VM because it would lag on modern hardware.
Here is what you need to do in order to get the game running:
- Search for “Midtown Madness 2 (Europe) (Rerelease)” on TPB and download it
- Load the disk with WinCDEmu or other solution
- Install the game (don’t launch it)
- Enable DirectPlay on Windows
- Copy
Crack\midtown2.exe
to the gamefolder - Download dgVoodoo2 from http://dege.freeweb.hu/dgVoodoo2/dgVoodoo2/
- Copy
dgVoodo
to the game folder .exe - Copy all files inside
MS\x86
to the game folder as well - Run
dgVoodo
as admin and set the following: .exe
- Click the button
.\
to create config file to MM directory - In “General” > “Output API” select “Direct3D 11 MS WARP (software)”
- Go to “DirectX” tab and change the VRAM to 128MB
- Click “Apply” > “OK” to exit.
- Launch the game > Options > Graphics > select from Display drop down menu, “dgVoodoo DirectX Wrapper” > "Hardware (3D video card with T&L) from the Renderer drop menu.
- Click “Done” and that’s it!
Note that whenever you change the resolution it won’t apply any changes to the game menu - you’ll only see it once you start a race.
Midtown Madness 2 should now run very smoothly under Windows 10, even on Virtual Machines. Enjoy.
I’ll try that one soon. Does it run natively under Windows 10 or does it require hacks as well?
Xemu is an Xbox emulator. Should be fully compatible with W10
Oh I wasn’t aware of that. But I’ve the feeling like an emulator will be easier to get running that MM2 was under Windows 10 😂. Thanks.

Xemu runs very good (tested on a 7800x3d + 3070)
It was never released for Windows
