UPD: Forgot 1 more step. After the tinkering the game will be very pixelated and low res. To fix this go to the game's config app in the game folder ("GameConfig.exe"). Set "Video mode" to 1024x768, 32bit, 60hz. The game will still run in 16:9 (if it doesn't u can switch to 16:9 right in the game's settings) and it won't be pixelated!

So guys, for anyone still out there who wants to play this game. I remember playing this with my sister when we were young so I wanted to replay it with nostalgia but apparently most people have issues with running it on new systems.

This dgVoodoo stuff actually helps but I had to tinker it for a couple of ours and finally had found the solution and right settings so u won't have to.

After downloading Voodoo go to the MS/x86 folder and copy all the dll files into the game folder. Also copy and paste the .exe file of the voodoo app. Open Voodoo and do these steps:
1. Add config folder (Press "Add" and make a path to the game folder)
2. Set "Adapter(s) to use / enable" to ur current GPU
3. Go to the DirectX options and set "Videocard" to "dgVoodoo Virtual 3D Accelerated Card", i picked 512MB VRAM (higher VRAM might cause problems with old games) but u can go for 256MB as well.
4. Set "Filtering" to "Force antisotropic 16x" and turn on "Disable mipmapping"
5. Turn off "Force vSync"
6. Press apply and there should be a voodoo.cfg or smth created in the game folder.

P.s. These setting cause problem with running intro video of the game and it crashes. To fix this go to the game folder - Videos - delete both intro videos. Thus the game will start skipping intro part and it won't crash.
P.s.2 No need to turn on compatibility mode in windows for the game's exe file.

Hope it helps u!
