I'm trying to play X-Wing Alliance on my Windows XP with Core 2 Quad Q6600 and GeForce 8800GT, but I have to disable all graphics acceleration and I'm still getting major rendering glitches. Did anyone manage to properly configure this game (and/or the system) to run on modern hardware? If not, which virtual machine will most likely support this game?

You'll probably need to play around with XWA Hacker, from a guy named Reimar. You can obtain it at the XWA Upgrade forums. The thread I linked to has to do with graphical glitches, which sounds like what you want. I believe I had this working a few years ago on my machine, so I think it's possible. Another path you could take is to try emulating it through DOSBox or virtualizing an older operating system. One of those should work well for you. |

This may be a little off topic, but yesterday I successfully started X-WING in a MS-DOS 6.22 virtual machine, set up with VMWare Player. At first I tried VirtualBox but EMM386 didn't work properly. With VMWare I had no problem to configure the OS to have enough memory to start the game. I assume X-Wing Alliance would run with VMWare too. Of course you may stumble across other issues than me. Let us know how you did it in the end. |
