Re: Links 2003 not working with Windows 10

Once you get Links running, it usually keeps running, so you have an oddity there. There really is little to configure or change in Links, even V 1.07 has only added a couple of changes, and really that is largely related to resolution settings, so I would be thinking there is something going on in ...

Re: Links 2003 not working with Windows 10

The kit has 4 DLLs in it that you place into the Links program folder, Links is not using all of the DLLs. There is also a configuration program you should run, and you are best served by saving the configuration into the Links program folder. you will need to run it as administrator to do this. The...

Re: APCD bonus

I knew of the Bonus CD that has a three hole course - Wasabi Hills, also that it was only available with some kits in the U.S. I think. I believe that a prime difference between the versions is in the texture size limit Links 2003 V1.07 - 1024 x 1024 Links 2003 - 512 x 512 Links 2001 - 256 x 256 Lin...

Re: Links 2003 not working with Windows 10

As far as I am concerned the wrapper is just another tool that can be used, if you do not need to use then don't, but it is available if needed, it is just another option. So no offence taken. I found with Linux when using the Intel embedded graphics I did not need to use it either so it is one of t...

Re: Links 2003 not working with Windows 10

The wrapper topic is: https://linkscorner.org/phpBB/viewtopic.php?t=788 The maximum resolution Links supports is 1920 x 1200. Any higher than that needs to be either scalled or windowed. Links also seems to get grumpy if you choose a resolution that is not some sort of multiple of the native resolut...

Re: BALL FLIP

I'm sure many of us have looked at the APCD, even just to make our home course. I can make most programs work but when I looked at the APCD years ago it was a case of WTF is this, how does is work, how can you do anything in it. I lack a PhD in computer science, that is apparently a requirement to u...

Re: Links 2003 not working with Windows 10

I would certainly make sure you are running Links 2003 version 1.07 Which is what I suspect the download version is - I have the original CD version. The Nvidia patch should also be considered a requirement but the lack of that should not cause a black screen, rather the lack of it is likely to caus...

Re: Apcd/ Windows 11 issues.

I cannot speak for the APCD. I did install it and try to use it back in the day, but it is not the mostly friendly bit of software out there. As for installing and playing Links I have installed and used it on both Windows 10 and Windows 11 and really at that level it is pretty much the same. The nu...

Re: nVidia fix issue

It should not matter where you execute it from.

All it does is replace the file LinksMMIII.exe the file should be dated Mar 31 2010 I believe.

The 1.07 file is dated 2008
