Fix - Direct X Error

 

When you try to start the game, it immediately crashes to desktop with the following error: "Setpallet error number -2147467259 failed." 

 

I hate when that haappens :)

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

This can be rectified through the use of the dgvoodoo 2 Direct X wrapper.

 

You can download the latest version from http://dege.freeweb.hu/ 

 

Copy "dgVoodooSetup.exe" "DDraw.dll" and "D3Dimm.dll" from the zip file to the directory which contains your "pinball.exe" file.

 

Run dgVoodooSetup.exe (run this as an administrator, particularly if your game is installed in a "Program Files" folder).

 

Once you have the dgVoodoo configurator up, you have to add your game folder to its’ list. You can do that by clicking the backslash icon (it’s to the left of “add” in the top right corner).

 

You should be seeing something like this.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Click “Apply” and “Okay” and you should be done. If it worked, you will see a “dgvoodoo.conf” file added to your thetomb folder.

 

Now the game should run. There seems to be a 4 or 5 second delay before the menu screen shows, but it will eventually come up.
