Dgvoodoo is nice for graphics, but not the key reason this game crashes.
Some technical insights:
Installed blood2, didnt run.
Debugged the assembly with IDA pro to encounter a memory exception in the DirectX6 dinput.dll.
After using the dinput.dll from https://steamcommunity.com/linkfilter/?url=https://github.com/elishacloud/dinputto8/releases/tag/v1.0.39.0 to wrap dinput6 on a more modern dinput8 api, my game ran flawles.
The reason is mostly windows being strict about not reading from non-claimed memory.
Which happens in blood2. When the game starts, it invokes the directx6 api of dinput.dll which may throw a memory access exception, hence the game not starting.
