Hi Lionel,
Some games crash if we do not enumerate properly the various DPlay service providers. So install the registry keys to please them :-)
LionelChangelog:
- added keys to install all known DPlay service providers
Will this work without the service provider dlls like dpwsockx.dll and dpmodemx.dll?

No, but it makes 'Wild Metal Country' not crash at start-up :-)
After, if I continue to be motivated to hack on DPlay, I may take a shot at implementing a built-in version of 'dpwsockx.dll' (I never touched any Windows networking programming so it could be nice to change a bit).

Hi,

Fine. And it's easier to copy these dlls than the dlls + the registry entries :-)

Have a lot of fun!

Good luck! Be warned, the DirectPlay network protocol is undocumented (well, maybe somebody reverse engineered it and put the specs up somewhere but I'm not sure).
