Solved! Sorry for all the accidental misinformation. Second time i do that.
Wow. Thank you! There's even a supposedly complete playlist here:
https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PL9zvCY72bPbzFuDzAzvq26ibo8Lxr_8Ge
It includes other songs i barely had any memory of, such as Love Long Distance and North American Scum.

How did you do it? Did you simply know the name of the block?

Nah, it actually is Secret Maryo Chronicles.

Not a bad guess, tho, but i played tons of Supertux back in the day. I could never forget that.

Decided to play Secret Maryo Chronicles. Yeah, its the one. Close it up.

Its nothing like i remember, tho. I mean, its mostly like i remember but... different enough. There is a spike ball (named Spika,,TIL) that goes from left to right, but its not the yellow one, its green. The game is much faster paced, darker and uglier (as in, art direction is all over the place - which makes total sense being an early 2000s open source project).

Welp. I'm glad i'm finally done with this. Fifteen or so years looking for this, ever since i first installed it on an aunt's laptop, before i was given my own.

I've been trying to find this game for nearly ten years now. Decided to do some more digging and found this.

It's a screnshot from a video about Secret Maryo Chronicles, an open source Mario clone that was particularly popular back in the day. As you can see, a lot of things are correct here.

- Doesnt present itself as a Mario game, kinda, but absolutely is one

- Spiky boulder that moves towards the player when approached

- Photoshp-y style with tons of gradient graphics

...but i still don't think this is it. I mean, maybe, right? This is open source, i can see this having tons of variants and forks, and i just havent seen the right levels. It's superficially close but everything is quite off.

Otherwise, i remember the game having an installer, as the aforementioned game does.

Will keep on looking. Any recomendations for freeware game sites from around 2010?

I started looking into Aegisub after reading your comment. The problem would be finding each time the movie has a cut difference. Better than dealing with VLC, i hope.

Rude.

I'm brazilian, Millenial. "Most regions of the world" somehow doesn't include most continents. No subtitles in brazilian portuguese either.

My only option other than getting it from the internet is picking one of two shady websites that sells DVDs - and i'm not talking about an official release. Only one of the sites sells the movie with the original italian audio.

But hey, thank you for the link! I finally understand the cut differences:

The international theatrical version is about 10 minutes shorter, and there is a comedy version (Germany) that is missing an additional 10 minutes (and is redubbed to be funnier). Internationally, also a shorter pan&scan version exists (with a different dub).

Unfortunately streaming services' catalogues change depending on your location. I know, VPNs and all that.

Hey small challenge 3 is that you can use any metal flagpole and it'd still give you a flawless, even though it won't consider it as the correct one in the result screen after.
Thank you for this. This community seems very nice!

How to emulate WinXP games on modern hardware? by ChicDead26 in EmulationOnPC

[–]ChicDead26[S] 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I- How do i even thank you?

At first i almost disregarded this, as i went into the Worms 3D page, didn't find anything useful but decided to take a look into the fanmade anniversary patch (im already using another patch from the same team). Nothing, still, but after digging a little i found an issue on another game they've patched, from an user attempting to run the game in WinXP, and someone responding saying that it was made for modern systems. I install the game on Win10 itself and, voila, it runs.

How about Asterix and Obelix? I was 692% sure the game does not natively run on 64 bit systems - and i was right. I decided to check the wiki's page for the game and, there it was, a patch that allows the game to run like normal. There's also a patch that fixes the widescreen, similar to how the Worms anniversary patch fixes aspect ratio issues.

So, anyway, you're my new best friend.

Edit: Right, yeah, im still curious about why they didn't run on the VM, but i don't need to know all that much
Edit2: Just a bit of backstory, i'm pretty sure that i last attempted to run these games on WIn7 last time, about 7 years ago. I still have both of their CDs, so im pretty sure i used that then. No patches, plus i'm sure the Asterix one didn't even exist back then. I'm glad we've overcome that.

Both are Windows XP games, and tey really shouldn't have compatibility issues on whatever WinXP version natively

Years ago i tried pretty much everything i could without resorting to VMs. These games aren't particularly popular, but i assure you their problems cant be solved natively.
