QEMU Alone in the Dark: The New Nightmare (2001) - From Install to Play in 15 mins
Rejoice for yet another PC horror adventure masterpiece restored to perfection in "pristine condition". This is the USA release 3-CD retailed version of Alone in the Dark: The New Nightmare (2001). Absolutely ZERO tricks, NO patch, NO fans' mods or unknown 3rd-party launcher or random downloads from Dropbox or Mediafire. Just rip the CDs, Install and Play in 15 mins! The PC version is indisputably the BEST version of the Game.
This is a difficult & hard to get working Game on modern systems as evidence by PC Game Wiki headlines and numerous complains despite having the treatments from GOG/Steam which supposed to make it compatible with modern systems.

For QEMU featuring qemu-3dfx, just forget all the craps about resolved/unresolved issues and the laundry list of step-by-step on PC Game Wiki, the Game just works on Windows 98 VM, at the BEST visuals quality, cutscenes work and NO crackling or audio distortion as what most familiar from "the other camp" trash 90's PC emulators for Windows Games. The performance & frame rate would even put real Retro PC Win98/XP PC boxes to shame compared to the 2018 AMD Ryzen 2500U 15W TDP on thin & light laptops, the freedom to play "anywhere & anytime" and playability across Windows 10/11, Apple Silicon macOS and modern Linux. One last nail to the coffin, the Game engine runs on OpenGL 1.2 which is out of reach from "whatever Voodoo" "the other camp" can emulate at best. It DOES seem like eternity for "the other camp" to be able to emulate Geforce/Radeon class graphics on the turn of Millennia. QEMU MESAGL rightfully delivers OpenGL 4.6 from modern GPUs on legacy Windows 98/XP VMs that markedly exceeds the GPU performance expectation from Windows games in the circa-2000 era.
The GOOD news is for most OpenGL games, they are as easy as compiling QEMU featuring qemu-3dfx and the respective wrappers without the donation-wall of WineD3D libraries. As this VIDEO showing every little details from Install to Play, this Game shall be an easy reference to get up and running. Have FUN & enjoy it as a Giftπ from the House for the year-end festive seasons. For those who supported & donated to qemu-3dfx, as always, a BIG THANK YOU for supporting the efforts of Game Preservation.
Merry Christmas & Happy New Year! π
