Help with installation of SFC I (yes, ONE, 1) after too many years!

(1/5) > >>

E_Look:
After many (many) years, I both built a new computer (Core i7, GeForce 2060 [the one where the logo does not glow; I thought initially it was broken!]) with modest specs (to be used mainly for work and maybe streaming a ballgame),
AND reinstalled SFC I.

And it works!...

... sorta:

It's the ORIGINAL CD-ROM I bought at a Costco or someplace like that (not the Gold Edition) and it plays okay (haven't encountered the blowing up 'cuz I bumped into a planet issue yet), except for the see-thru ships.
Then, I remembered- back in the day I patched it (numerous times)!

Well, the patch .exe's don't patch!
I mean, I run them, but nothing happens; the game stays at the same 1.00.01 version.  I even tried running each program as an administrator, tried also running using the command line.

Of course, it's running on Win 10.

Does anybody know what's going on or knows how to fix this?

Thanks.


(Yeah, it's been a while since I even peeked in here; I don't expect anyone here to remember or to have interacted with me, especially since I never played Multiplayer or online with anyone.)

Nemesis:
I remember  you.  However I can't help.  I haven't played in years and no longer have a windows machine and don't have my disks anymore. 

There are some who do periodically check here who may be able to help.  Good luck.

Nice to see you around, stay safe from Covid. 

d4v1ks:
i created 2 patches for SFC1 sometime ago which doesn't require installation.
just download the version you wish and overwrite the existing files.

there are also other things there that might help you
the SFCLauncher (which scales the UI up) and the dgVoodoo package for better graphic compatibility.

hope it helps

Javora:
Glad to see you again E_Look. Check out that link d4v1ks posted, think it might surprise you...

E_Look:
Well!
Thank you very much!
This is an incredibly FAST response to a query from an old geezer... well, I wasn't when I was really active on the boards!

Now let's see if I can get my buns toasted by non-see-thru-ships.

I'll let you know, for sure!

Hopefully, SFC II and SFC III won't have these issues; I don't feel up to messing with them yet.  But it's either the SFC series or EGATrek (which I haven't played in quite a while too; I play a lot of the solitare app I kept from Win XP.  I still get my buns toasted...  :P)
