Hi,
is there any news about these two games in near future on GOG?

I miss playing them...

Thanks,
Flip

Here we go.

Right, here's a rule of thumb with "when is game A and/or Games B and C are coming to GOG" vote on the game in the wishlist, as much as some people will say it's pointless it helps show the staff what games people want and they can try and use that interest in courting the rights holders over a nice candlelight dinner with T serenading them and say "hey we got X amount of people that will happily buy this game you have that's just sitting there not doing anything" does it always work no, but it's something and even then they still have to get a copy of the game since depending on the age original the masters may be useless, and then hope that they can get it running.

As for those two their owned by Microsoft if I am correct? I know GOG has said they have tried to get MS here so once they do then pending the games have no fatal or uncorrectable compatibility issues then they will show up.

Heh, sold my copy of Motocross Madness on ebay a few months ago - think I got £2 for it...

Thanks, i will vote than.

Both have issues, midtown madness whit graphics, motocross madness can't detect 3-D video acceleration.... both on windows 7 64 bit ati radeon hd 5xxx series.

Midtown Madness has had video problems for quite a long time, even on Windows 98 and XP. As I understand it, it's a video card driver issue. I've heard, though I can't swear to it, that if you patch Midtown Madness to the latest version and then use the crack for that version that it will actually work in Windows XP without any video issues. I don't know about Windows 7 though. It is possible that it is the same issue so it might fix it there as well. I don't have a Windows 7 machine or I'd dig out my CD and try and see if it worked.

Heck, I might give it a try on my 64 bit Vista machine. I always loved that game, that one and Midnight Club 2, which was actually made by the same dev. Angel Studios ended up becoming Rockstar San Diego.

I can't even get my copy of Motocross Madness to even load on Windows 7 64 bit, the sequel is the only one that is able to work on Windows 7 but it does not work that well from what I experienced.

Well, don't forget that 64 bits it's the most cause that the both games won't run it. 32 bits seems to work as i know, but never tried, just heard....Anyway, nothing better if GOG can re-edit the games. seems it will be a long wait, there are many on front priority.

GOG can only do so much, they often don't have the source code to these games so it's near impossible to fix alot of these games unless there is some tweak, work around, fan patch, wrapper or something along those lines that can help fix there issues.

well, now i can play midtown madness on win7 x64, there was a patch for it.
if only motocross could have it too... can't see any solution for it... i love this game

damn, i can play but the graphics are very bad... can't change resolution higher than 640 and detecting my graphic card... only software renderer...
need a GOG salvation...

They are Microsoft Games. Microsoft is not likely to be signed in soon. So rather no..

damn ;(

got motocross madness working in windows 8.1

:PC SPECS:
NVIDIA GeForce GTX 780
AMD FX(tm)-9590 Eight-Core Processor (8 CPUs), ~4.7GHz
16 GB RAM

How did you do it?

I can't get it running on:
Windows 8.1 x64
16GB RAM
GTX770, 2GB VRAM

I always get the
"Could not find any 3-D acceleration hardware on your system. Please make sure that your card is properly installed."
error.

It seems like the game does not accept more than 256MB VRAM in order to accept the 3-D acceleration hardware.
So, is there a way to limit the VRAM? Like you can do with RAM in msconfig?

Some information, but nothing helped:

Has GOG mentioned any specific reason why they won't sign up?
