Just tried it again with 20050930 and it still fails with basically the same
error. The special issue with this game appears to be that it always tries to
load the DLL from the filing system and barfs if it doesn't find it. I remember
putting a d3d8.dll in the filing system at one point which caused it to run
further, but then it failed at some direct draw call I couldn't figure out. My
guess is that people who got this working copied a functioning direct draw /
d3d8 setup into their filespace. I'd be interested if anyone could give me hints
on how to get this game working, with or without native d3d8.
