I don't remember much beyond the game itself. Certainly a nostalgia gold mine

after installing the game, there should be a .bat file in the files, it fixes the texture issues.

Nicky Dean, you are an absolute lifesaver!

The game did not work for me, it just went to a black screen and closed every time I try open it. Can someone help me please?

RulyCash 2023-11-08 2 points

Hey Nicky Dean, not sure if you'll ever see this but I tried following your steps exactly as posted. It seems to start the game but pulls a black screen for about 5 seconds before crashing. If I choose autorun the square with the "ah here we are in bikini bottom" pops up and pressing Play Game on there has the same result. I feel like it could be because when I install the game it makes a DVD (E:) drive. I am unsure if that is correct and I bring the dll files into that or if they go into the file folder I created for the game. That is where I put the files originally but it doesn't seem to work.

This is the first game I have ever tried to download like this so I am not really knowledgeable on this kind of stuff. I just really want to satisfy the inner child in me that misses this game. Any help would be appreciated but then again I doubt you will ever see this again so I will keep trying your methods.

Nicky Dean 2023-09-30 3 points

Playing this today on your modern computer is super simple and easy! Listen to me and no one else because they are wrong. You DO NOT NEED a virtual machine or external program!

Follow these steps to get it working!

1. Download the ISO and click the MOUNT button. This will open an extra (disc) drive on your computer.

2. Open the mounted ISO folder and run setup.exe

3. Keep track of the folder location you install the game (you will need it later).

From here you can just play it BUT it will run very poorly. This is because your modern machine is most likely running DirectX 10 or above while the original game was created for DirectX 8.

Luckily you can circumvent this by downloading dgVoodoo2! Its a wrapper that will make it so the game will run using your current graphics API. If you aren't a technical person, don't worry because it just works.

4. Download the latest stable build of dgVoodoo2 from http://dege.fw.hu/dgVoodoo2/dgVoodoo2/

5. Extract the zip to a location you'll remember on your hard drive (desktop or downloads folder would probably be the simplest).

6. From this folder open ..\MS\x86

7. Copy all the .dll files into the games install folder (the one you remember from earlier. It should contain the sb2.exe file -- if you can find it right click on the shortcut the game made and open its file location)

8. From there go back to the dgVoodoo2 folder and open dgVoodooCpl.exe

9. Under the general Tab, I recommend you set the "scaling mode" to "stretched, keep aspect ratio" so it fills your screen and keeps the original intended 4:3 aspect ratio. You can have it stretch to widescreen if you like things that look bad though.

10. Next, click on the DirectX tab and uncheck the "dgVoodoo watermark" option because it is stupid. You can also add various other enhancements to make the game less dated. I recommend setting the resolution to Max FHD to make it HD while (again) leaving it as the intended 4:3 aspect ratio. I also recommend leaving the MSAA setting as "App Driven" because the game looks really bad and buggy if you don't.

11. Finally, click apply and you're ready to play the game!!

I hope this helps the game look just as good as you remembered it!!

I when I download the game it just send me pictures of SPONGEBOB!!!

Venom 2023-05-20 12 points

Alright, everyone (including me for a LONG time) has issues installing and playing this game. So I'm gonna give a quick guide on how to get it to work!

Here is a step-by-step method to get this game!
This guide will require you to do some outside research if you aren't sure how to do something.
1. You'll need a virtual machine as we will be running this game on Windows XP. Download a Windows XP iso file off the internet, as well as a VirtualBox by Oracle (recommended version 6.1.38, I had issues with later versions). From here set up the VM, I won't go into detail so look up a video if you need to.
2. Now go ahead and install the iso file for the game, once it is finished, if it is zipped, extract it to somewhere you can access later.
3. Boot up your virtual machine (again I recommend watching a video for this as setting up Windows XP can be a little annoying sometimes).
4. Now that you're in and on the desktop, go up to the top of the VM window and click on "Devices". From here go to Optical Drives Choose/Create a disk image. Click Add and now locate the iso game file from earlier. Click Choose. Now the disk image should be mounted and attached (you can check by going back to Devices Optical Drives and you should see the iso there and selected), the game installation page may open immediately. If it doesn't, go to Start in the bottom left My Computer. You should see a drive with a little Spongebob as the image. Double-click it and the game installation page should open. From here, click Install. When it asks to install DirectX 8, do so.
5. Here is where it gets a bit tricky. Normally you can just double-click the icon that appears on your desktop, but if you're like a lot of people, this won't work. Instead, you need to run it somewhere else. Click Start in the bottom left and go to My Computer. Select the C drive, then Program Files. Then open the folder named "THQ". Keep entering folders until you're in the folder titled the game's name. Inside this folder there should be a MS-DOT Batch File titled "sb2safe". Run this file and the game should open successfully!

Hopefully this works for you as well!

Also, if the game is running slow/audio is skipping. Close the VM, and go into it's settings. Go to display and enable 3D Acceleration. You can also allocate more resources if you feel necessary and are capable.

Enjoy!

My lovely game

phillipPbor 2023-01-06 2 points

I've already installed that game from CD DVD disk ive bought years ago.
I've installed it in my new laptop I've got from Christmas. somehow when i tried to play the game, the textures arnt right and the gameplay is lagging.

I've tried to set it to Newest verion compatible, but all there is was windows 8 and mine is windows 11.

AGVYT 2022-09-10 3 points

(A better guide on how to install this game)
Do you not know how to install this game? Well I got you covered.
Step 1: first and foremost, install the iso file
Step 2: like ZAZ said, you do not need a 3rd party program for Windows 10 (this tutorial is for how to install it in this 3rd party program), but you might need one for older windows oses, so download PowerISO if you do not know what bit version they're saying in the downloads page you have (64 bit or 32 bit) , type about your pc or type in control panel on your start button or search bar, type in control panel. click system and security, then click system, and there you go, now install PowerISO
Step 3: Once you have installed it, restart your computer because you need the Virtual Drive Manager application, once you have restarted your computer, open that application by searching it in your start button or search bar
Step 4: now it should pop-up in your system tray (in the bottom right corner of your taskbar), if not click the arrow that is in the bottom right corner, the one facing up, now what you want to do is right click the app icon, then click the set number of drives, you only need to set 1
Step 5: Now go to your downloaded iso file in your file explorer (search the app in your start button or search bar) right click it, hover to the poweriso tab (it should pop-up), hover to the mount c:/example/example/example to: then click on the virtual drive, now install the game, run the setup, wait, and you're done! As for running it properly on a modern windows computer, you need to look elsewhere, I'm sorry or this comment will be too long.

OOF 2022-08-14 2 points

Some lag and white doesn't render for some reason (everyone's eyes are spooky) but otherwise, it runs fine. Thought there was a better Win10 version somewhere.

It was so fun to relive my childhood with this game. The nostalgia was unreal. At first, I couldn't get the game to install/run. So, I'm dropping this link for anyone stuck in that boat. Literally took me less than 5 min to follow the steps in the video and play the game. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MTBQsfJIYA8

I clicked on autorun and photo director 8 started, with a pop up message saying that the file cant be opened.. what now? :(

AGV_YT 2021-12-10 0 point

Are you guys are getting the "Please insert the CD-Rom" error and the opening cutscene not showing up?
Well I got you covered.
Step 1: Install poweriso on your computer (you probably already have it)
Step 2: Restart your computer
Step 3: you may see a CD drive even though you may not have one (don't worry, it's a virtual cd drive)
Step 4: Install the game/iso (obviously)
Step 5: find the iso file you just downloaded
Step 6 (crucial part): Right click the iso file, then hover to the poweriso thingy on the bottom, then hover to mount, and choose the virtual cd drive i mentioned earlier
Step 7: Once your done mounting it, right click the iso file again, hover to the poweriso thingy, and click extract to [iso name] (that way the files in the iso won't be cluttered)
Step 8: Finally, go to the folder you just extracted, run autorun.exe, and install the game.

Game downloads just fine but the minute I turn it on it goes black and shuts off, sucks because I really wanted to play this game again. It was my childhood.

I used to love this game as a kid. My parents only let me have an hour of computer time and I would speedrun the game and still have enough time to do something else. I use the word "speedrun" lightly since I was 5 years old lmao.

Demonic Doll 2020-07-16 0 point

How exactly do I get this to run on Windows 10? When downloaded it appears in the "My PC" file as if I have a disc. The launch works, the installation seems just fine. When I select play A mini black screen pops up then closes. The Emulator can't find the file. Is there a way to make it so it isnt showing as a disk? Or what did people do to get it running?

Rocket 2020-04-20 4 points

I had the black screen problem too, I now just fixed it! What you have to do is change the compatibility settings on the game’s properties. You can search compatibility on Windows and it should pop up with something like, “Troubleshooting compatibility”. Basically, you have to change the compatibility property to Windows 7, and it should work! The only issue I have now is that the graphics of the game turns Spongebob’s /everyone’s eyes transparent

Skittleram 2020-04-20 11 points

sdds 2020-03-03 7 points

All you have to do is first, create a destination file folder in (preferably, the desktop) so you have somewhere to open the actual game from. Then, you open the ISO file, then find the setup with a picture of SpongeBob looking through binoculars. A little window asking you to put the file location of said file folder will appear. It's easiest to open the destination, then click on the little file folder's address that should say your file name. Then, copy it, and then paste into the address bar into the installer, finish it, and wait for the game to download. Then, go to your destination, and open the executable file called sb2, and then have fun! I hope this helped anyone! (this is yes's comment to anyone who didnt see it)

ZAZ 2019-12-20 33 points

Are you getting an INSERT CD window pop up. Very simple. Mount the ISO file as VIRTUAL DRIVE option when you open it up. In Windows 8,9,10 you do NOT need 3rd party software to mount an ISO file. Right click on sponge bob ISO file and select "Mount as Virtual Drive". Select one of your DVD/CD drives as the one you wish to mount on. This makes the program think that you are installing as it was intended in 2001 when the game was made. For example when I mounted this to install for my girls I selected DVD Drive D:/. Then Window will say "Sponge Bob is mounted on Drive D:/". Then go to Drive D and you will see the ISO image of Sponge Bob game mounted there. Click on Install or Setup file and it will install just like you had the original Sponge Bob CD back in 2001. After it installs it will have a shortcut on your desktop. Click on it and it will run. Remember you have to right click and mount it on one of your DVD drives and trick this old program to think you are installing off the original disc. If you need help email me at mikemanners123@gmail.com.
In short this will not only work for Sponge Bob but any ISO file that gives you an INSERT CD problem.
