~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~Ok, just looking at this game for first time the last couple of days.
Anyhow, read a couple of posts about people wanting to know if can run in a window or at a higher resolution.
Maybe this may help?
I found that latest version of DXWind can run Lemmings Revolution in a window and you can choose the said windows size. You can find DXWind here:
http://sourceforge.net/projects/dxwnd/I have only successfully tested DXWind with an official patch#1 v1.0.0.1 Lemmings Revolution game.
As at the date of this post I don't believe DXWind will work with the Full Color v1.0 (Beta 4) - April 27, 2012 custom "Hacking Lemmings Revolution" patch. I will post a message in that thread to see if anything can be done?
Anyhow, to try it with one of the official versions:
Step 1)
A) First under the 'Edit' menu select 'Add'
Step 2)
A) Give the entry a title, ie: Lemmings Revolution
B) Browse to your games .exe file
C) Under 'Window initial position & size' you can enter the (W)Width and (H)Height of the resolution you want
D) Select 'Keep cursor within window' (see notes section at bottom of post why this is important)
E) 'Optimize CPU (DirectX1-7)' This will cap the framerate of the game, may help if the game is running to fast for you.
Otherwise, you could leave this unticked instead, whatever suits you best.
F) Click [OK] button when done
Step 3)
A) At this point I would suggest you exit out of DXWind. At the moment DXWind only saves changes to it's .ini file when you exit. So it is a good idea to do this now because if you don't and DXWind were to crash you would have to start from Step 1) all over again.
Step 4)
A) Ok now restart DXWind
B) Scroll down to the Lemmings Revolution entry you made; it will be at the bottom of the list. (Unless you go 'File' then 'Sort programs list'.
C) Now either double-click on your game entry or right-click and select 'Run'.
D) Have fun!
Notes:
1) Don't click outside of the game window as will cause crash. Hint; that's why we use the 'Keep cursor within window' DXWind option.
2) Don't use [ALT-TAB] as will cause a crash
3) Don't use with the Full Color v1.0 (Beta 4) - April 27, 2012 custom "Hacking Lemmings Revolution" patch as will lock your desktop and require you to press your computers reset button.
4) I have only had a quick look at using this, no doubt some of the DXWind settings may improve functionality?
5) Unfortunately with my quick glimpse this DXWind setup and Fraps don't seem to play nice together so unless someone can work out what DXWind settings can eleviate that problem, don't use with Fraps.
Please post your experiences on setting DXWind up with Lemmings Revolution.
