I've been busy again today and i've made this patch for old but good game "Re-Volt". It's a RC cars racing game, sort of like Micro Machines, but much better in my opinion. Graphics are still awesome even by today's standards, awesome physics, really cool worlds to drive through and also a track editor, something you don't even see anymore these days.

Anyway, the problem with game was compatibility since it was designed for Windows 98. It had various issues on modern systems ranging from premature race starts (when the camera was still facing in wrong direction during start countdown), game lockups on startup, game crashes on startup, non functional Track Editor because of the missing files that were only available on old operating systems.

From my testing, i have managed to solve them all, except making in-game music functional. It just refuses to play (though all the other audio effects are there). I'll keep on working on that, but in the mean time you can play the music using media player and just play the music in the background. Not the same, but it works. The music is in Audio CD format on the game disc.

Released version 1.0.1, adding more version number info in the installer and fixing the missing shortcut icon. Not sure how this one sneaked past my QA, probably due to icon caching...

Used to play it every so often and since then moved house, moved country ( HA! ) ,moved house again so don't think i be finding my CD some how lol.

I love to see a sponsored one by self with Traxxas and HPI and such with the same idea.

There is VRC (Pro) if you just like the cars and want to play on a more realistic level.

The game runs natively on Windows XP, but i was experiencing premature game starts. On the race start, the game was still flying over the cars with flyover camera when the game already starts, so your view is pointing in the wrong direction for a second. Other than that, it worked fine. On later systems, it just locks up or crashes on startup.

Well real RC cars cost money when you have bad accidents and even more if the parts in demand. And lately around this area it's been a pain to get to some were safe for me and my daughter to use them.

And if you mean real life size cars well i think that's self explainable.
