DirectDraw Compatibility
Patcher Galogen |
182 | Fixes the 8bit color problems some ports like xDuke have in Vista and
Win7. This will examine your the games exe and save a .reg file for you to
add to your registry. Note: Once the Reg Fix patcher program writes the
information to a reg file or to the registry for a specific game.exe, you
should not move that particular game folder or exe. So one game.exe version and another game.exe version are determined by the patching programs to be different specifically by the various attributes of the exe, and Windows reads those differences when launching the Game. These variables, along with the needed flags makes a compatibility profile in the Registry for Windows Vista and 7 to use with that application, only. It won't affect other parts of your registry or other programs. If you made a mistake and need to delete these
entries in the registry file, here are there locations written by the
program:

4.08 | An update to KenS previous TSR program (listed below). Not only does it
disable the Linear frame Buffer, but also limits the frames per second

3 | This is Ken Silverman's WinXP VESA workaround. Allows
higher video resolution to work, like 1024x768 but the game
with be using the slower VESA 1.2 video mode, rather than the games intended
VESA 2.0. A TSR that patches the VESA driver by fooling DOS programs into thinking the VESA 2.0 linear frame buffer modes are not supported/available, the games will then fallback to VESA 1.2 if they support it.
