ATI Rage does it work? A. No, it does not work without the original hardware. Q. Does 3dfx Work? A. Yes. It does if you use dgvoodoo, but you will not get as good of quality out of it as the original hardware, and you must have a relatively high end system. Q. Does Titanium work? A. Yes, but I do not answer questions with regards to titanium. Q. Which version should I buy? A. DOS. 95 versions are hit and miss, DOS nearly always works. See my other video on DOS installation for mech2 for more information. Q. Where can I obtain a copy of Mech2? A. Ebay is the best source of copies of mech2.

I torrented MechWarrior2. I am running Windows XP sp3. It installed successfully, I patched it, mounted with DAEMON tools, and ran it in compatibility with 95. When I click the icon to run it, a box the size of the task manager pops up, it is entirely black with a windows classic border, and at the top it reads MECHWARRIOR 2. This window disappears after a split second. Do you know what I must do for it to run?

Kool. Thanks.

Yes, the chances are the highest with the netmech edition.
DOS and Vanilla 95 differences are largely shell related and not much more than that.
If you wished to install the DOS version you would have to follow a different tutorial. Either the one you mentioned or the others on the website the video mentioned. They are in the FAQ section.

If i am to get the Netmech Edition , Would I have the best chance of it working?
I would have the Win95 and the MS-DOS Versions.
Does the DOS Version on the NetMech CD have any differences? Or would I Install the MS-DOS Version just by your tutorial?
Thanks in advance.

Check the website’s FAQ section regarding which version to buy.. we put together a version comparison… you can see pictures of the disc’s
April 20th, 2010 03:25
So how do i tell if the Mech2 im buying has MDOS or DOS on it? Can i tell but the front cover? Becasue im buying online…
April 20th, 2010 03:37
no. As mentioned many times the 95 versions of mechwarrior 2 are extremely unreliable. The only version of mech2 with the highest return rate is MechWarrior 2 DOS, GBL DOS, Mercs DOS.
All of those versions can work directly in XP with some modifications and if run in vista or Win 7 DOSBOX works just fine.
sorry
Basically the netmech edition is the suggested edition of the game because it has both dos and 95 versions of mech2 on it.

So if i buy pentium edition this guide will 100% for sure make it work?
April 20th, 2010 04:56
it did not work
April 20th, 2010 05:13
I figured it out. My dgvoodoo resolution was set too high. I got it working now. Thanks for the response!
April 20th, 2010 05:37
by default i think the mouse is off.. check the cockpit controls
April 20th, 2010 05:59
I have my game running perfectly on my XP, except my mouse won’t move the mech torso up or right. Any idea on how to fix that? I can’t use mouse2kv.exe, because I am using the 95 edition.

As mentioned
“Q. Which version should I buy?
A. DOS. 95 versions are hit and miss, DOS nearly always works. See my other video on DOS installation for mech2 for more information.”
Pretty much it will work sometimes for some people, but the 95 versions do not universally work for everyone no matter what method is used.
You could try and download mechvm from the website and install it that way though. You may have better luck with it
April 20th, 2010 06:54
i can launch the game fine videos menus ect but when i actually go to play the game it crashes my version is windows 95 cd rom pentimum edition and i followed the pentimum tut exactly so why dont it work?
April 20th, 2010 07:02
Get a CD Burner and burn a cd with the files to another computer or get a thumb drive and transfer the files that way or get a crossover cable and connect the computers directly.
April 20th, 2010 07:29
i don’t have internet on the computer i wish to install mech2 on so what can i do about downloading a patch??? please help it!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
April 20th, 2010 07:53
thats great. thanks a lot!

On XP you can run the DOS version directly on windows. Instructions for that are also on the DOSBOX video as well or at the website for a more complete set of instructions.
April 20th, 2010 09:09
do i have to? i mean, I know that the DOS versions are good, and I use DOSBox, but I would rather just run it through Windows.
Is that possible?
April 20th, 2010 09:39
I would use the DOS version and follow the DOSBOX guide video. Or just use mechvm which can be downloaded at the website.
DOS versions work the best
April 20th, 2010 10:28
ok. i have the 95 and DOS version. so what can i do?
April 20th, 2010 11:24
Says on the disc
You just need something identifiable.
Look for something that says Battlepack, Titanium for two of the versions.
DOS version says “DOS CD-ROM”.
95 version says 95 on it..
o i guess there is a 5th version i forgot about… one version has 95 and DOS on it.
April 20th, 2010 11:28
alright…. i fell dumb asking this, but how do I tell what version of GBL I have?
I know how to tell apart the original versions of MW2, but not GBL
