Either way, VirtualBox will get you far closer to a real working XP system than XP mode could dream of. hopefully they fixed that by now, as it was years back. At the time though I couldn't make full-screen games fill the entire display. VirtualBox impressed me - I was able to get a multiplayer session of Diablo running on real IPX.
As long as you have a copy of Windows XP to install, you can get it running in VirtualBox and have an XP that runs in a window on your Windows 7 desktop - or full-screen if you prefer. The alternative I found was VirtualBox (free!), which probably does exactly what you had hoped XP Mode would do. Disappointing, isn't it?Īs someone who plays a lot of older PC games myself, I went through XP Mode like you did, found out it couldn't do what I wanted, and looked for an alternative. That makes XP Mode virtually useless (no pun intended) for gaming purposes.

As far as I know, anything full screen (like Diablo) or requiring 3D graphics won't work at all. Microsoft's vaunted "Windows XP mode" for Windows 7 is only meant to run programs in a window. Hi CaptainSassyPants, I think can offer some insight into this. RE: Diablo Backwards Compatibility Guide - Belix - 02-12-2014 I had an XP machine specifically for playing old games, but it died which is why I had to get Win 7 Pro. Very frustrating, as I have never had any issues playing Diablo on XP machines before. I tried the method in the first post of this thread.

I then went and installed DirectX 9, then the video card drivers for Windows XP 32 bit. I installed the 1.09 patch, then installed Hellfire, then installed the Hellfire patch. The error encountered while trying to initialize the video card was: "Hellfire (or Diablo) was unable to properly initialize your video card using DirectX. I bought Windows 7 Professional so I could use the XP Mode, installed the game, but I get an error everytime I try to load it: RE: Diablo Backwards Compatibility Guide - CaptainSassyPants - 02-12-2014

Updated for compatibility with newer graphics cards.ġ) add method 4 to hellfire section (essentially the same method for hellfire as well)Ģ) test newer graphics card compatibility on windows8 using Method 4 (works perfect on windows 7, but.)ģ) test method#4 compatibility on MacOSX and Linux (this is essentially just for running the game in higher resolutions)Ĥ) create an easy to follow compatibility installer of some kind, to make Diablo more accessible to the masses.ĥ) post all archived mods that I have gathered over the yearsĦ) update links with mirrors, just incase links go dead over time. RE: Diablo Backwards Compatibility Guide - Slayer_X64 - 12-28-2013 RE: Diablo Backwards Compatibility Guide - Vagelaras - 12-25-2013 If you can't get the Registry file working, I'd check into that (listed as Method 1 in Slayer's original post). I've personally come to prefer the DirectDraw wrapper fix instead, since it works with all versions of Diablo and Hellfire, and even other games. Windows will ask you to confirm merging the new registry entries, say yes. To use the file once downloaded, simply open it like you would a document or program. Hi Vagelaras! To download the file, right-click on the link for the 32-Bit file, choose "Save as." to get the file. RE: Diablo Backwards Compatibility Guide - Belix - 12-23-2013
