Currently the list does not include any results for any 3rd party programs.
The list has only been tested with the latest updates applied to the
operating system and the latest patch for the game.
 
For instance, if you see a DOS game with a status of "green" then this
simply means that the game works but it will of course not have any
sound in NT without using a 3rd party prog such as VDMSound.
 
I have kept 3rd party programs off of the main list and created a
seperate worksheet for them for a simple reason. This unclutters the
results and provides a very readable format without confusion. Also due
to the constant changes to 3rd party progs and the fact that it is in
most cases desirable to just get the games working without downloading
anything.

DosFreak what mobo is it on ? DosFreak think you will buy another sound blaster sound card? i am thinking about getting a Santa Cruz not sure about the Santa Cruz with drivers. So far Santa Cruz seems to be best updated with drivers the fastest. But not sure. I may be wrong. But i dont think i will get a SBlive but not sure yet.

Hi DosFreak,
 
I hope you can help me. I want to play the game "Mad TV". Everything ist working fine under Windows 2000 (I have no sound, but the sound is not important), except the mouse. I'm using a IntelliEye Explorer Mouse. I tried it on the PS/2 port and on USB, I already tried it with an older mouse at the com port, but the only thing that works is klicking the mouse button, but it does not move.
 
Waiting for your answer (full of hope)

Great Work and effort everyone. Keep up the good work. Here's some additional items that work under windows 2000. The ones followed by a (P/W) mean that you may need to mess with a shortcut (compatibility), apply a patch of some sort, or use a workaround. The ones followed by an (N) are "supposedly" NT native and they should work normally without any special set up.
 
Myst (P/W)
Mortal Kombat 4 (N)
Monster Truck Madness I (N)
Monster Truck Madness II (N)
Jedi Knight (N)
GrimFandango (P/w)
RoadRash (N)
Beetle Crazy Cup (Beetle Buggin) (P/W)
Command and Conquer: RedAlert (P/W)
Command and Conquer: RedAlert 2 (N)
Note: This list is CONSTANTLY UPDATED on ntcompatible.com. Please visit their Windows 2000 game compatibility section. I would provide a direct link, but I don't know if I am permitted or allowed to fo that (sorry).

Why would you post new games in the list? I think that 99% of new games work fine on win2k, except those made by no-name companies which you would never play anyways.

DosFreak do you think Windows XP will really improve anything in game Compatibility ? I am not going to Windows XP but i am wondering if it even will because i can just see it now with people complaining that there older games dont work or something on Windows XP. But with the games that don't work on my windows 2000 i just don't play them and thinks its worth it because i hate dual booting 98. Plus i already got tired of those games that wont work on 2000 anyway so its not a huge lost. I also think you got to give up something for stabilty and i think its well worth to give up some game Compatibility for stabilty.
 
One more thing have you tried a lot of EA sports games lately and have most of them worked or did they give you problems ?
Because i am still thinking EA still doesnt have windows 2000/XP game Compatibility straight.

As far as DOS games compatibility: XP improves over 2k by provide SB for SFX & General MIDI for sound. It's sound emulation is inferior to VDMSound's however. BUT Windows XP's NTVDM has been enhanced in XP so that BUILD (Duke3d, Shadow Warrior) engine games can play SFX. Sadly these games do not work with SFX in NT4/2000 although MIDI does work. Vlad and I are looking into it but I don't expect much.
 
As for Windows Compatibility: Windows 2000 & Windows XP are the same in that area but Windows XP is where Microsoft will focus it's Application Compatibility Updates on. The updates are backwards compatibility with Windows 2000 but I don't expect Microsoft to release as many updates for 2000 as they do for XP. The hacks will have to remain unofficial for me to hack!
