When I wanted to do a run of this game, I had a lot of trouble actually figuring out how to run it (as my computer doesn't have a disk drive). Here I will be giving a step-by-step guide on how to run this game at full speed, with or without a drive.
-
(If you have a disk drive and the game disk, skip to step 4) Find the game ISO file online and download it (I do not condone piracy of video games online).
-
Download a disk ISO mounting program. I use VirtualCloneDrive, but any program should work as long as it can mount ISOs to a virtual disk drive. VirtualCloneDrive can be found here: https://virtual-clonedrive.en.softonic.com/#:~:text=The%20program%20also%20adds%20a%20sheep%20icon%20to,number%20of%20virtual%20drives%20from%208%20to%2015
-
Once you have the 2 listed above, mount the ISO file onto the virtual drive
-
Open the disk and run "Setup.exe" and install the game in your preferred location (keep the disk inserted as you need it to run the game). Also ensure you install the DirectX it prompts you to after installing the full game.
-
Right click both "InstallCheck.exe" and "Trouble.exe", go to the Compatibility tab, and make sure the mode is set to either Windows 10, or Windows XP Service Pack 2 or 3 (both modes work to my knowledge, but Windows 10 compatibility was the only one that allowed me to use Splits hotkeys at the same time)
After that, you should be able to run the game at full speed, and can start it from either "Trouble.exe" or "InstallCheck.exe" (the game cannot run in windowed mode however. You cannot Shift-Tab out of it without either locking up your computer or crashing the game, and forcing it into windowed mode with programs such as DxWnd will crash your computer. To close out of the game, just use the in-game exit button, and you should have no problem). Contact me if you need any more assistance getting the game to run!
