Another game with poor compatibility for modern OSes. The game works on QEMU with Win98/ME VM in pristine condition with just the official 1.0.0.3 patch with 3Dfx Glide or Direct3D accelerated rendering. While many had regarded Direct3D as trash, Direct3D was chosen in this demo to show that it wasn't as bad as most would have thought. Dynamic lighting which cannot be enabled with in-game Graphics Options can be forced by directly editing the game engine Options.cs. Dynamic lighting is a performance pitfall though regardless of hardware renderers. As in this demo, whenever dynamic light source came into scene, the FPS dipped below 15 FPS. Note that this is a slow RPG game designed for 15 FPS gameplay, so it wasn't so bad at all with the slowdown of dynamic lighting.
