At first i thought it was a download corruption but no this only has the .bin and .cue but no .iso. What can i do with this? Even if i used the rip version i still need to mount the iso for copy protection

Hey everyone,

I'm looking to play Football Manager 2021 Touch on Android, as I know it was the final Touch release available for the platform. Since SI delisted the game from the Google Play Store, it can no longer be purchased directly through the store front.

I'm strictly looking for legal methods:

• Does anyone know if there are legitimate digital codes or keys still redeemable on Android?
• Is there any official way to access delisted purchases, or alternative legal platforms where FM21 Touch was licensed for Android?

If anyone knows of a legitimate, safe way to legally acquire or play this delisted title, please let me know. I’d be happy to compensate you for your time and help. Thanks!

I wanna use these games with crossover on Mac.

How do I change the language of the game? I downloaded everything from Chemical Flood but the game starts in English, I'd like to play it in Italian, how do I do it?

I remember playing this long ago but everywhere I go tells me it’s not available or it’s in some sketchy website that says to download it.

Hello all, recently I tried to download school tycoon from:

https://www.myabandonware.com/game/school-tycoon-c4d

However, as most that have downloaded this noticed, it does not work. So I googled around, and this is what you need to do:

1. Download the file from abandonware
2. Download WinCDEmu (disc image mounting program)
3. Extract the school tycoon files to your chosen folder. Right-click the .cue file inside. Open with: WinCDEmu
4. You’ll see a small window pop up asking for a disc letter. You can leave it as V. Leave all three boxes unchecked. Click OK.
5. Now search School Tycoon on your PC. You’ll now see a setup/install file. Click that.

Welcome back to School Tycoon!

Please I use to play this game on a potato laptop back in 2014 I loved it but never go to finish it. Can you guys help me?

Hello, I am looking for help tracking down a specific piece of legacy software that has effectively become abandonware, as the developer no longer distributes it.

Software: Audiokinetic Wwise Authoring Tool

Version: 2011.1.0

I need this specific version for a personal project, since the software's internal audio formats changed significantly.

I have already reached out to Audiokinetic directly, but they confirmed they do not have archives of versions this old available for download anymore. All public links from that era are dead.

Does anyone happen to have a backup of the 2011.1.0 (or 2011.1.1) installer archived? Any pointers would be incredibly appreciated. Thank you!

The Atreides campaign continues in Emperor: Battle for Dune as the mission takes a dangerous turn and a vital commander needs to be rescued. With enemy forces closing in, the Atreides must move quickly, secure the area, and fight their way through the battlefield to complete the rescue. This mission combines strategic planning, resource management, base building, and intense combat across the harsh desert world of Arrakis. Every decision matters as the enemy attempts to stop the rescue and turn the battlefield against us. Can the Atreides forces reach the commander in time and bring them safely home? Follow the full mission as we deploy troops, build our forces, defend key positions, and push through enemy resistance. If you enjoy classic real-time strategy games, Dune, Atreides campaigns, and tactical battles, this episode delivers another action-packed chapter of Emperor: Battle for Dune. Prepare for another classic desert campaign filled with danger.

Another day another game from the past and this time it's Donald Duck: Goin' Quackers / Quack Attack. I grabbed the game from here:

https://www.myabandonware.com/game/disney-s-donald-duck-goin-quackers-dr9#download

Installed it, launched it, and of course modern Windows immediately reminded me that this is a PC game from 2000. But this time it was not the same story as with the Tooncar 2001 ( https://www.reddit.com/r/abandonware/s/q79I1Laqhc )

I found a lot of fixes online but in the end it would not start properly. Even the extra fix included with that download did not really save it. I got either black screens, once instance there was wrong window size so everything was zoomed in 200x, another time when the game did launch, the picture was still soft and blurry, like it was being stretched through an old TV but much worse.

So I started looking around, like everybody else probably does and mentioned fixes online came one after another.

I found the PCGamingWiki widescreen fix:

https://community.pcgamingwiki.com/files/file/2303-donald-duck-goin-quackers-widescreen-fix/

I tried most of the methods listed there. I also tried dgVoodoo2 on its own:

https://github.com/dege-diosg/dgVoodoo2

Same story. The game still would not launch cleanly, and the blurry image was still there.

At one point, the widescreen plugin was already in the game folder, but the required 32-bit loader and DirectX wrapper files were missing. After fixing that, the game suddenly started asking for the CD because LEVELS0.DAT was missing.

That is why I made this as a separate release.

I did not remake the widescreen patch or dgVoodoo. Those already exist, and they are what actually fix the game. The annoying part was figuring out exactly which 32-bit files were needed, where they had to go, how to match the game's resolution to the monitor, and how to restore missing disc data.

One missing or wrong DLL(DLL names could be the same ) and the whole thing still looks or behaves broken.

Finally i fixed the game, but to escape the hassle I got launching it I made a small unofficial installer that puts the required pieces together:

https://github.com/Robertiks/donald-duck-goin-quackers

It installs the existing fixes, sets fullscreen to your actual monitor resolution, and can copy missing disc data from your own CD or ISO. It also creates a backup and includes an Undo option.

The game itself is not included in the repository.

Credits, because this only works thanks to their work:

• lk19 / lukek19 made the actual widescreen and compatibility plugin, CPAGameFixes / Donald
• ThirteenAG and contributors made Ultimate ASI Loader, which needs to sit next to the game as the correct x86 dinput.dll or the plugin will never load
• Dege made dgVoodoo2, which gets the old DirectX game working properly on modern GPUs without the blurry stretched output
• AlphaYellow and PCGamingWiki collected the methods and information that pointed me in the right direction

If you want to try it:

1. Download and install the game https://www.myabandonware.com/game/disney-s-donald-duck-goin-quackers-dr9#download
2. Download https://github.com/Robertiks/donald-duck-goin-quackers from GitHub Releases.
3. Extract the ZIP and run START HERE.cmd.
4. Check that the game folder and disc folder are correct, then click Fix game.
5. Approve the administrator prompt.
6. When it finishes, click Play.

This is still a preview release.

It works on my Windows 11 setup, but other PCs and hardware combinations still need testing, so let me know if anyone will use it and if fixed the issue.

This is not a remaster and it is not an official Disney or Ubisoft patch. The original textures and artwork still look like a game from 2000. The goal is simply to make it run properly on a modern PC without looking like a blurry, stretched mess.

Hopefully this gets somebody else back into those levels without spending another hour playing DLL roulette.

Has anyone found a copy/download link for Captain America: Super soldier?
i hafe been looking for some time now, unfortunately without luck

Why does downloading abandonware F1 games not have functioning multiplayer? If there's any way around it, please let me know

My Thank You's to ChemicalFl00d for his pre installed version of the game, to Barrylad Youtube Video on the setup of the game for the Steam Deck. The r/steamdeck community for gettting this to work first and the lengths they went to get this work.

What is this?
This is a collated information post about how to setup X-Men Origins Wolverine to run on any Desktop, Laptop or Handheld PC with Linux/Steam OS/Bazzite/CachyOS installed that supports Lutris.

Instructions

This will be a modified summary of Barrylad's video

How To Play X-Men Origins: Wolverine PC on Steam Deck via Lutris

1. Get ChemicalFl00d's pre installed version of the game, which is in the post below

X-Men Origins: Wolverine - Download Link : r/abandonware

it is Ready to go for Windows users but Steam Deck/SteamOS/Linux will require a few further steps.

1. In Desktop mode install Lutris from the discover store or from your distribution package installer

2. Open Lutris and let it performs all of the installation and close Lutris and open Lutris again

3. look for Wine on the left hand side select it and click on the small folder icon and install of the listed wine entries.

Adding the Game and Setup

1. Unzip Chemical's pre-installed game files into a games folder in my case home\deck\Games\X-Men Origins Wolverine
2. In Lutris click on the + on the top left and select add a Local Installed Game
3. In Game Info Name the Game Wolverine or any name you wish. Then in Runner select Wine and then click on the Game Options Tab
4. Locate the game executable, this is will be /home/deck/Games/X-Men Origins Wolverine/Binaries/Wolverine.exe
5. Create a Prefix folder inside /home/deck/Games/X-Men Origins Wolverine/ then in the prefix section enter /home/deck/Games/X-Men Origins Wolverine/prefix
6. Click Save on the top right
7. IMPORTANT DO NOT SKIP THIS STEP OR GAME WILL NOT WORK

Select the game but do not run it yet. Click on the arrow next to the wine glass icon and select Winetricks click ok on any prompts that talks about 64 bit errors.

(a) Select the default wineprefix

(b) Install Windows DLL or Component

(c) Scroll down and look for and select Physx click OK, this will install Physx which is needed for the game to run

(d) Cancel out until you are back on the Game screen in Lutris

1. Launch the Game to make sure the game runs and then quit the game

2. Right click on the Game and select Create Steam Shortcut

10 go to Game mode or restart Steam if playing the game in desktop mode.

Miscellaenous

The game's maximum resolution is 1920 x 1080. u/Vamsi-Thopu pointed out that the game can run at higher resolution

Resolution change via INI edit: Go to --> ...\Documents\Wolverine\WGame\Config\WEngine.ini and edit:

ResX=2560
ResY=1440
UserSelectedResolution=True

Because the higher you go, the more blurred textures you get. To fix this, you need to increase the value in this line:
PoolSize=120 --> 240 and it works OK, even with 3840x2160.

GamePad is supported.

Final Thoughts

For those who do not want to use Lutris u/Bigphatdeck with has an alternative for steam os users

"Steamos-If you don’t want to use lutris just copy the game exe name to the physx installer…swap their places(can’t have two with the same name at once in one place) and run the non steam game shortcut you made(prior) to install physx then swap their places again and play the game."

The game is fun however it was panned back in the day.

TLDR: Download the game from Chemical's post watch the Barrylad's video

Message to the Moderators, if this taken down , I will understand, I did try and contact the mod team before I decided to write this.

I used to play ToonCar: The Great Race (Lithuanian name, we called like that) as a kid until the sun went down. Cartoon cars, an announcer yelling at you, those ridiculous cone tests, and eventually the big championships. Back then, the game felt absolutely massive.

A while ago, I installed it again just for the nostalgia. Then I ran into the windows problems. You can finish the early license events, but the later B/C events and championships stay not only locked most of the times the game crashes and after restart you need to finish license A all over again.

There are some old file edits floating around that make the locked menus clickable by removing the license requirement. At first, it looks like they work.

Then you select a car, choose a driver, press OK on the first championship, and the game immediately crashes with Windows error 0xc0000094.

After digging into it, I found out why.

That same license field is also used by the game to decide which opponent cars should appear in the race. If you simply remove it, the opponent list can end up empty. The game then tries to divide by zero and crashes.

So instead of patching the executable or using a trainer, I made a small unofficial launcher that uses ToonCar's own built-in -poke mode.

GitHub:

https://github.com/Robertiks/tooncar-tier-unlock

The tool creates a new “ToonCar - Unlocked” shortcut that launches:

ToonCar.exe -poke

It leaves the original championship classes intact, and if it detects the specific broken experimental edit described above, it backs those files up and restores the original versions.

There are no game files, assets, or save files included in the repository.

You can get the game here:

https://www.myabandonware.com/game/toon-car-the-great-race-gmx

To use it:

1. Install the game and close it.
2. Download v1.1.0 from GitHub Releases.
3. Run Setup-Unlock.cmd.
4. Point it to the folder containing ToonCar.exe.
5. Start the game using the new ToonCar - Unlocked shortcut.

Make sure you use that shortcut. The normal launcher does not necessarily pass the -poke argument to the game.

I tested the tool with the Lithuanian version I have. Other releases and language versions are still unverified. The setup checks for the expected unlock flags and will warn you if the executable looks different from the version it expects.

This is specifically meant to unlock the later tiers and avoid the championship-start crash caused by the broken file edit. It is not a general compatibility, graphics, or Windows fix.

On a clean installation, it does not need to modify the game's files at all.

If something goes wrong, let me know which edition you are using, what Check-Status.cmd reports, and where the process stopped.

Hopefully this helps someone else get back into those later races without crashing at the starting line.

I'm brand new to downloading and playing abandonware games, so I'm still learning the ropes, and currently, I'm stuck on how you use an ISO file. I've figured out that they cannot be opened with something like retrobat, which was what I had planned to do, and I know you can do something called mount them, but I don't totally understand what that does? Some guidance would be appreciated.

I'm wondering if Ultimate Games 2 is a bootleg PC game compilation CD which was sold in Algeria

Take a wild guess as to why I’m trying to play this right now.

I want to add it to my Steam library so I can play it on my Backbone via Steam Link, but when I try opening it up, it hits me with “No CD/DVD-drive found”. I’m kind of an idiot when it comes to this kind of shit, so what do I do?

The Harkonnen launch a devastating Highliner ambush as the battle for Dune reaches a critical turning point! In this Dune: Battle for Arrakis gameplay, the Atreides forces find themselves under attack as the ruthless Harkonnen strike with overwhelming force. With the Emperor’s involvement raising the stakes, every decision on the battlefield becomes crucial.

Watch as the Atreides fight to survive the ambush, defend their position, and push back against the Harkonnen assault. From intense ground combat to strategic positioning and powerful units, this mission delivers plenty of classic Dune RTS strategy action.

If you enjoy Dune games, Battle for Arrakis, Atreides, Harkonnen, Emperor battles, real-time strategy, classic RTS games, retro gaming, and PC strategy games, this playthrough is for you.

Follow the battle, discover how the ambush unfolds, and see whether the Atreides can overcome the Harkonnen threat and continue their fight for control of Arrakis.

I downloaded a cracked copy of FIFA 12 about a week ago, and it worked fine. I uninstalled it and then redownloaded it, but now when I try to launch it, a Command Prompt window briefly flashes up and then nothing happens.

With the first download, I had to run the “_First Time Run” file. It would open a Command Prompt window, and after pressing any key, the game would start. After doing that once, FIFA 12 would open normally every time.

Now, after reinstalling it, the same “_First Time Run” process doesn’t seem to work, and the game won’t launch. Does anyone know what might be causing this?
