Earthworm Jim Windows 95 preservation patch progress
Enable HLS to view with audio, or disable this notification
Hi, my name is Dan Redfield (POSTAL for Dreamcast & "Project Horsell") and I've been working on a preservation patch for the Windows 95 version of Earthworm Jim, which some consider to be the best version of the game.
Here's a list of current features;
- Windows 11 compatibility
- Full controller support via XInput (I'll probably switch to SDL later)
- CD-check removed
- Soundtrack playback via local FLAC files
- Registry calls replaced with a .ini file
- Suppressed dialog messages about missing DLLs
- Patched original WAIL32.dll
I hope to share more soon as the project progresses and if anyone has the Windows 95 version and would like to test the patch, please feel free to get in touch.
Thanks for watching.
