Problems Installing Game on Newer Software

[Bowser7372]

Does anyone know how to get the AMRTS running? I bought a new laptop (latest Windows 10) and tried transferring the AMRTS on my old hard drive (downloaded from here) and I got the typical "the procedure entry point could not be located in the link library" and the DIRECTX was not compatible. Then I installed the original one from the game CD, it downloaded correctly, no messages whatsoever, in fact nothing happens. I tried erasing the transferred one I downloaded and reinstalled the original and still nothing. I also ran compatibility mode on both to Windows 8, 8.1, and XP Service Pack 3 and still nothing. Any ideas?

PS: I hating Windows 10 rn. I can't do jack squat on what I could on 8.1 Pro.

First thing I would recommend trying is dgVoodoo2. You can acquire it from this site here.
Second thing that I've heard works is renaming the file 'dbghelp.dll' into something else. This file can be found in the '\..\library\dbg\' folder.
Third after that I'm not really sure. You can try one of these in combination with Windows compatibility settings, or you could try downgrading your graphics card driver from the vendor's site.

Do you own the game on Steam (Only $1.49 during the winter sale)? In that case, I would launch it from there. If you have modifications, you can simply replace them into the steam directory.

Renaming the dbg from "dbghelp.dll" to "olddbghelp.dll" got it working, thx again.
