Windows XP, Vista, and 7 use a lazy fix and ignore exceptions produced by trying to run a privileged instruction (in this case, trying to access the video card to detect vertical refresh) so I've essentially done the same thing by NOP'ing out the instruction. So far I've been able to remove the CD check and get the game to run without crashing on Windows 2000 and above. Is anyone else interested in patching Westwood's Monopoly game? I'm working on a new installer to replace the original 16-bit installer that doesn't work on 圆4. Anyone feeling ambitious?įixed a bug with the installer, nothing to see here. I essentially have to start from scratch since a lot of the text is different lengths than the English version. the only other version I have access to is the French version but haven't gotten around to fixing up the dialog boxes yet. Note, this only supports the US English version for now.

#Monopoly pc download 1995 update#
Optional Compiled HTML Help (Monopoly.chm) for users without the KB917607 update (Vista/7/2008/etc.) No-CD patched (Netbook users rejoice! CD-ROM required once for installation though, just grab a usb or virtual drive) Can be installed in Program Files without causing problems (though that's not the default installation path) Re-sized icons to avoid the ugly 32x32 to 48x48 scaling that Windows XP and above does (the original didn't have any consistent size or placement and Aero only made things worse with the border size changes it made so dialog boxes were cut off, huge, or misplaced.) Dialog boxes updated to accommodate the Aero theme on Vista/7 Option to choose between 8-bit and 16-bit sounds (like the original installer)

Original Installer and Uninstaller icons and splash screen Windows 64-bit support (32-bit installer) oh well, it figures I would find it just after I found a way to compress the whole game down to 98.7 MB. Good news, I finally found a way to copy files directly from the original CD-ROM, I should have checked the Inno Setup newsgroup earlier.
