[yeldar2097]

i know, keyboard is making things rather difficult for me too. it's like a brand new 2097 challenge!
cunning plan insertcoin, mine's busy gathering dust at the moment. i was considering framing it but i might just try an emu

Wow, I didn't know 2097 is around for MAC, what a great day for me I will put this on my PowerBookG4 right away ... Does anybody know if you can use the PS3 Controller on the PB's USB port?? i will try after getting home anyway ... I am back in my teen-years again (WO nostalgia) , yaaaaaaay!! Hail to the fat cat!!

Sometimes it feels just good using a MAC

Update: Sorry what obviously wrong place to post, my apologies to the Mod's , I'll put it in the 2097 - Mac thread

I have it on my PC with Vista and it runs 'okay'.


but sometimes it shuts down entirely at random times during races. Normally I can get at least 30 minutes to an hour of playing it on my laptop.

It was a REALLY huge pain to get it to work at all.

I'm going to attempt to get it to work with a controller as well, so i dont have to use the arrow keys. That is such a pain!

The OP wanted to run woxl on vista...and as someone above suggested you can using ePSXe. I am using vista 64 bit, running the game with improved textures, antialiasing and high res and it looks absolutely gorgeous (despite the draw in) as does the original wipout. Simply stunning to see these two games run and look this beautiful after all these years.

Is your name Roger, by any chance?

[penske]

no Rodger here, sorry --- just a long time aficionado of wo and woxl.

[Lance]

I couldn't resist asking since Roger Penske is one of the greatest racing team creators/managers ever. He was racing his own little Porsches back when I first discovered the world of sports car racing in the U.S. before he retired from driving and went on to running teams. I just suspected that you adopted the name, "penske", because of that.

[penske]

You sir, are correct. So many folks choose wipeout related ID's I could not think of anything. But I recalled Penske/Penske teams well known racing pedigree and just used that --- hope Roger doesn't mind.

[Lance]

I took the unimaginative route of using my own real-life name.

Spooky!!!

You and me, man, brothers in bravery.

Not sure if it's been mentioned, but the PC version can be played perfectly by forcing v-sync on. (50hz if possible.)

I've tested and Windows 7 32-bit likes it and plays with no problems (With slowdown patch). Except your'e still going to get darker-than-dark tunnel sections on Sagarmatha etc.
Without slowdown it still likes it in the C:\WOBBLE directory, just that every ship turns faster than the FEISAR

I've made a comparison between the two versions.

looks like the downloaded XL ver. has the bad draw distance.

Im running vista Ultimate 64bit

whenever i try to run the game, after the first "screen" it cashes everytime, with the windows message:

"Wipeout 2097 / XL has stopped working, a problem was the reason to the program stopped functioned like it should, windows close the program and let you know if there is a solution."

I hope some of you can help me, simply love this game

I did the following:

# Download the version of yeldar: search for 'Wipeout 2097 download' on Google, the first link is the right one (Squakenet), click 'Where to download' and the second link. (No direct link, unless Rob is OK with that, which I doubt)

# Download the network patch and extract it. Copy the contents of the 295~24101 folder to the wipeoutxl folder of the game. When asked about duplicate files, overwrite with the new file(s).
>>>HERE it did not ask anything about duplicate files at all

# Download the speed patch and extract it. Copy the contents of the woxl_patch folder inside the 1421~44169 folder to the wipeoutxl folder of the game. When asked about duplicate files, overwrite with the new file(s).

# Rename the wipeoutxl folder of the game to wobble, and move it to C:\

# Launch the executable. You can make a shortcut somewhere else.

Thanks alot in advance
