Hey,
I found this old 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 out of the box, nor under Windows XP SP3 on a VM because it would lag on moderns GPUs.
Here is what you need to do 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)
- Copy
Crack\midtown2.exe
to the gamefolder - Download dgVoodoo2 from dege.freeweb.hu/dgVoodoo2/dgVoodoo2/
- Copy
dgVoodoo2.exe
to the game folder - Copy all files inside
MS\x86
to the game folder as well - Run
dgVoodoo2.exe
as admin and set the following:
- 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. Enjoy.

Midtown Madness, wow, what excellent games!
I remember playing them as crazy as a kid, the first had a extremely 90s UI, and the mini map was just a normal map scanned in and then zoomed and scrolled as you drove around.
The second one had better maps, but still weird bugs, you could drive up the side of a building and accellerate, when on the roof you would drive out in the air and just park floating next to the building.

I downloaded Xemu only to play MM3.
Good times driving away from 4 cop cars in Washington DC.
