San Francisco Rush: The Rock - How do I get the old PC version to work?

[GigaDrive]

This is not about Midway Arcade Treasures 3 which I have for Xbox, PS2 and GameCube (2005) and was also released on PC (2006).

 

I'm talking about the PC version of San Francisco Rush the Rock - Alcatraz Edition that originally came with, and only worked on, the Quantum3D Raven Banshee (3Dfx) card released in 1998.

 

some footage:

I don't have a 3Dfx or Quantum3D card but it's supposed to work on just about any PC with a Glide wrapper. I've tried various wrappers, all kinds of settings, etc.

The most I can get is a black window that pops up for 1 sec, then, nothing.

 

I really want to play this version of The Rock since the MAT3 versions are all terrible and it's not playable in MAME yet, although the first one, San Francisco Rush Extreme Racing, is.

 

Any help would be so much appreciated.

There is a patch that a make it work with all Voodoo cards. If you don't have a voodoo card then you can use a wrapper like GlideWrapper084c.

I've tried GlideWrapper084c and mess around with all the settings and Windows compatibility modes. Nothing.

 

Maybe it's because my laptop doesn't have an AMD or Nvidia card. I've only got Intel HD 3000. Could that be the problem?

Did you patch it so it works with all Voodoo cards?

 

I have a Pentium III w/ Voodoo2 SLI running Win98SE which I use to play the game.

I am now thinking I won't be able to get Rush The Rock to work on my laptop.

 

Not only do I not have a 3Dfx card, I don't even have a dedicated GPU from Nvidia or AMD. All I have is Intel HD 3000 integrated graphics :/

Hello! New member and first time poster. Those first two videos you posted are mine.

 

Not sure where you got the PC version (Might have been my upload with all my files) Maybe shoot me a PM or let me know if my files are the source you are using. You could try using the nGlide wrapper... and here are the "cracked" .exe's - http://rottentreats.com/SFRushCracks.rar

 

(only problem with my files or maybe the crack is that when you bump into railing or other cars you get an explosion sound instead of a bump sound... working on that now)

 

Either way let me know if that helps, really great game! If you have the original disc or game maybe we could work something out to get some progress made

 

Let me know if there are any other questions!

Hi, great videos man--I've always wanted to play that version of The Rock.

 

I don't remember where I got the files, they very well may have been yours.

 

I tried those cracked .exe's -both with nGlide and GlideWrapper084c.

 

I'm getting the same results, nothing. Except with nGlide it goes to a black screen, I see the 3Dfx splash screen, then back to the desktop with a small black window appearing for a second. No game...

 

I cannot get this to work no matter what I do. I've tried compatibility with Windows 98 / ME, XP and 7.

 

I'm totally stumped.

File a bug report to the wrapper devs?

I would say try another computer for good measure, and if need be reformat/reinstall windows.

 

May seem like a long stretch but worth a shot (or see if you can get it running on a VM)

 

I would say all of the above is worth a shot :)
