Strange colors bug
Posted: Sun Jul 26, 2009 4:14 pm
Hey guys. Not sure whether I should post this here ... whatever. For those who wanted to play Moo 1.31 a bit and were surprised by the strange colors (ie. green logo, pink menu etc.) I think I found a solution.
Download and install this toolkit http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/deta ... laylang=en.
Run the Compatibility Administrator, click on Applications under System Database, wait till the list loads up, choose Master of Orion 2, click Run, type the location of your Orion95.exe file, and click OK. If it says an error message about not having fonts.lbx, don't worry, we'll just have to configure it manually.
Close the applications bar and click on custom database and choose a database. Click fix, fill in the name, browse for the program location (you are looking for Orion95.exe, not Orion2.exe), click next, choose win95 mode, click next, tick the "Force 640x480x8" option, click test run and OK. Now colors should be okay, if they are not, try one more time. If the mouse cursor is sluggish (mine was in the menu), UNTICK !!!!! the "DisableBoostThread" option. Click Test Run again, everything should be fine now. Click next and finish. Whenever you want to play Moo, you have to play it via the Administrator Toolkit. Now, fire it up and enjoy
