SetupDgvoodoo setup program

Things you will need in order to get the game going:
A copy of the game (you need to find it or buy it yourself)
DGVoodoo
Dege patch
Patcher

All the patches and dgvoodoo can be found in the resources tab.

First step is to run the setup.exe on the disc file. You can choose where you want to install the game, but this guide will assume that it is installed in the default position. Choose standard instead of space saving and let it install the game.
If the install doesn’t run, there’s a few things you can do to get around it. First open task manager and go to the details tab. Look for 32-bit setup launcher. When you find it, right click and select analyze wait chain. Close the programs you find in there and then run the setup again. This should work, if not you could also copy the donald folder on the disc file to the desktop, but it will create another issue you will need to fix later.

If you're experiencing corrupted or missing graphics, this can be corrected with the dgVoodoo DirectX wrapper. Download dgVoodoo (v2.51 or later) from here.

This next part is subject to change if a new patch is developed, but for now it is necessary for the most consistent performance. If on the patcher’s github page there is a version 1.2 or newer you can ignore this step.

You will want to copy the GliDX6vf.dll and paste it in the DLL folder of the game. You can find the game by going to program files > Disney Interactive > Donald Duck by default. When you copy it over it should ask to replace the dll that is already there. You want to replace it with the new one.

Next you need the patcher. You will want the 1.0 version of the patch unless 1.2 or newer is out. You will want to copy the patcher into the donald duck folder that contains the donald.exe. If you see a Donald.exe.bak file you will want to delete it. It is not always there, and if it is not, it will not be a problem. When you run the patch, make sure to do it as admin and that it says it is successful. It should create a Donald.exe.bak file in the folder.
This patch is the same as changing the hex code, if you have seen if from another video. The 1.1 version also does this, but it doesn’t fix the frame rate dropping issue as well as the dege patch.
There are different executables included with the dege patch dll that are supposed to be better for different aspect ratios. I have not had time to test them, but if you want they are available and they should not need the patcher on the speedrun.com resources page in order to work.

Next you will need to copy dgvoodoo as well as the dlls included with it into the donald duck folder where the donald.exe is. You will need to run dgvoodoo and confirm a few settings. Make sure that dgvoodoo has selected the right file by pressing the . button in the upper right corner. If you want to speedrun the game, you will need to make sure that Enumerate refresh rates is on and that in the glide and directx tabs, both resolutions are at 60hz and have forced vsync on. This locks the game at 60fps. If the game runs higher than 60fps it will run faster and will not be accepted on the leaderboard. If you are just looking to run the game, feel free to tinker with these things as much as you want.

And there, your game should be good to go. You can run donald.exe and begin playing.

A couple additional troubleshooting notes:

If you want the opening and ending videos, you will need to run the game in compatibility mode. This unfortunately interferes with the autosplitter for speedruns which is why most runners are not running this way. It will also make it harder to capture using obs. I usually use windows xp service pack 3.
If you get the “graphics Dll not found” error, you will want to check this file: %LOCALAPPDATA%VirtualStoreWindowsUbiSoftubi.ini If the file is not in this exact location, you will want to create the path and then create the file with the contents of:
[Donald]
GLI_DllFile=GliDX6
GLI_Dll=DirectX6
GLI_Device=Direct3D HAL
GLI_Driver=display
InstallCount=1
Language=English

This error normally occurs when the installer isn’t run. The file location and name need to be exactly the same or it doesn’t work.
If you run the game and nothing happens or it is only in the background of the task manager, it is likely that either something is preventing it from running or that the patch did not work correctly. I’d make sure to double check that antivirus software isn’t preventing it, and that the patch did work. If the game has the same issue after this, you should look into disabling dep on windows. It has prevented a few people from launching the game in the past.
If you are having issues with missing textures, white textures, and textures disappearing, enable fast video memory access in the directx section of dgvoodoo.
If you get the error “Donald CD not found” you need to mount the CD and run the game again. As far as I am aware there is not a cracked version of the game.
If on restart of the computer, the donald.exe is gone, it is likely there is another donald.exe somewhere in the same drive. You will want to delete the one you are not using to play the game.

That is about everything I can think of to get the game running on windows 10 in the most stable way possible. If you need help getting the game to work, feel free to contact me on discord, twitter or youtube.
