Index ⇒ Games Support ⇒ Oncle Ernest first trilogy XP patch most wanted!

[myloch]

Hello,
I cannot run them on my Vista pc (incompatibility with Quicktime 2.1.2). Some french users out there shared a famous Xp patch but all links are dead. Emule? LOL

Please help

The first one installs but doesn't work (the game hangs after some intro videos).
The second one totally ignores my game is installed.
Maybe that's because I'm using the pizza localization, not the escargot main.

But...

I discovered what is patched with some ViceVersa™: it's a small file called bitmap.r95!
I found a good one elsewhere and it seems stable now.
And no, even if patched, it doesn't run on anything newer than XP.
Great games though, weird as shit but they have some style!

The only other idea I have (apart from compatibility settings) is to install K-Lite on your Vista rig - managed to play a bit of two croissant Ernest installments on W10 (though FMVs had no video, as noted) , and methinks that codec pack did a trick or two (installing it on every setup - it's almost a godsend); YMMV IDK

Klite doesn't help. Maybe it can do the trick with some of the newer installments.
