MW2 DOS on Windows 7 x64 with AMD Phenom II X4 CPU?

Post by TsunamiZ »

Hi, I'm new! Anyone know if I can properly install/play MechWarrior 2 DOS on Windows 7 x64 with AMD Phenom II X4 CPU and NVIDIA GTX 460 video card? What is the best procedure to use and will there be any problems?

Hi,

If you use MechVM, there should not be any problems running the game. You can even experiment with the resolution and viewing distance patches there are automatically installed in the game directory (_farpatcher.exe and _titanRes3.exe).

Enjoy!

DOS MW2 works just as well, since MechVM includes DosBox. Only the resolution fix for DOS does not work as it does in Titanium.

Yep the instructions still work.

And the tongue is a fire, a world of iniquity: so is the tongue among our members, that it defileth the whole body. Out of the same mouth proceedeth blessing and cursing. My brethren, these things ought not so to be.
