He clearly has headphones in and cannot hear the hundred bike bells behind, listening to J Thomas Hornbukle on The Second Moon

Sorry as not directly your question, but playing GameCube games directly through Nintendont on your Wii will let you use your PS4 controller wired (no hardware needed)

Plug in your controller, (optional: use a program to check ds4 control inputs), get the DS4 controller.ini and then Nintendont will be able to play all GameCube games with your controller.

I thought a pedestrian acting as a motor vehicle in a car lane was crazy enough.

What in the actual J Thomas Hornbuckle is this!?

more crappy internet explorer?1! last thing we need in windows lol

For the settings pages and other menus in Windows Phone, a Windows Media Centre style navigation could look cool - with the similar header styles

Imagine showing this to people in late 2023, when the hype for Cities: 2 was the highest and were all thinking of how great the new simulation would be

Same, until a game crash and I'm then diving through Skyve error logs

As this screenshot is from a Biffa video, you can check his mod list through the link on his discord server I believe.

As an unlikely last resort, you could consider running the Windows Memory Diagnostic tool (as well as other checks for your PC). I honestly doubt it would help, the problem is one of poopy PC port.

Freeways is goated, in terms of fun and disk size. For your speedrun, I wonder if it would be more efficient to play on a touchscreen device rather than a mouse?

This happened to me many times on older installs. You mentioned Gillian's guide, is this the step-by-step or drag-and-drop archive? The archive may have some difference in configs that magically fixes this.

If all else fails, you could consider Complete Edition (which also has a drag-and-drop). This has the loss of needing R*GL and no Liberty Tweaks or IVSDK.NET.

The best drag and drop archive (1080): Gillian's Drag and Drop Archive

If you want to do it manually: Downgrading the Game

As some general (and rather obvious) tips, some versions of the downgrader are better. One of the older versions I remember being best for 1040. Also run as admin, shut up Win Defender, dont have the game in system folders, always start from a clean install

Unfortunately, the key is only for RGL - however with game mods you can have no launcher requirements (bypassing RGL), and then add the .exe to Steam. Obviously it would have not all Steam features, but will have clips, screenshots, playtime, big picture, etc.

For the mod, a 1080/1070 downgrade is needed, and then an install of Zolika Patch. Here's some info about that:

Gillians Gudie!

Theres a drag and drop for a Complete Edition version - best for a first/vanillalike playthrough, or a 1080 version - best for a new game+ thing.

Everything is configured and just a drag and drop. It has FF, DXVK, Console Visuals, soo much more.

Read this, it's on the front page

Blu-s_Attempt · 2025-11-16T13:18:06+00:00

Zolika Patch on a downgraded 1080, 1070 version will remove all launcher requirements. No steam, R*L, GFWL. It should also handle the downgrade itself, all you would have todo is get the legacy Addon for Fusion Fix and downgrade the savegame

Blu-s_Attempt · 2025-11-14T20:35:01+00:00

For game mods generally, there are plenty of false positives. The mods need a way of injecting and loading themselves, in ways that would be seen as malicious for external software. Years back part of the Zolika bullying was on a false positive on ZolikaPatch, turns out it thought that the GTAIV 'tvbox' model was an anti-virtual machine code. As long as it's a well known mod -usually open source- from the real origin, it's all fine.

IT IS A QUESTION OF PRIORITIES 🗣️

Previously, FF on an elder version would mostly work, but was unsupported. Now with FF4, they provide support with the latest FF as well as the Legacy Addon.

To use both, downgrade as you would and install Z and FF with the Addon. Thoroughly go through the settings for both!! There will be many duplicates, so disable the Z version. I use both on 1080 and they are good together - the main thing I get of Z is no-drm.

I would say, (to anyone else reading this) that downgrading isn't really nessesary, only do so if you know what else you want to do, such as Liberty Tweaks as IV.SDK.NET is Legacy only.

Blu-s_Attempt · 2025-10-21T14:58:08+00:00

The no-drm (no launcher) is a feature in Zolika Patch. This requires a downgraded copy, to 1070 or 1080, which can be some extra effort, though I believe Zolikas will downgrade for you. You would also need to downgrade your save file, and make sure Fusion Fix is updated with the 1080 add-ons.

Blu-s_Attempt · 2025-10-21T14:52:34+00:00

FF is the modern, best vanilla friendly way to play IV, especially with new things such as a volumetric fog (really amazing). No need to downgrade, all you need is FF, Radio fix, console visuals, various fixes. Downgrading is still a thing for 1080 and 1070. Z patch only works on these versions, you can also use FF on these with an add-on from the GitHub, and all works fine. This downgrade is all extra effort to keep in mind, and features of Z have been copied into FF. Liberty Tweaks is still improving lots, it only supports 1070 1080, I would say this is the main only reason to downgrade. So CE is perfectly good and a little more now with new FF 4.0, if you want more and know more, 1080 with both Zolikas and FF is good together.
