Billy Hatcher and the Giant Egg

The PCgamewiki has a bit more info on it. I always check that with any old game as there are usually fixes and suggestions to try

So, at least 5 - 6 years later, I decided to try this one and found a partial solution to a few of the framerate and vsync problems it has.

First of all, this game asks you to install DirectX 9 and you can see it has a d3d9_27 dll, but it uses the PC's local d3d8 dll, lol
I've tried to apply a wrapper to it (d3d8to9, dxwrapper), yet it still relied back on to that.
For some reason, DGVoodoo doesn't work for me (someone else should try it out better), but in this case DxWnd seemed to fix the most annoying parts; I'm still due to figure how to adjust the resolution, antialising, whatever.

You point Launcher to "configurater.exe" and Path to "BillyHatcher.exe", make sure that the game has Inject DLL enabled in Hook, then all you need to do is keep DxWnd open for its wrapper to work (if you try to start up the game from the interface, you'll get that one error about missing the launcher; so use "configurater.exe").
I can't recommend enough to find a No-CD patch to make starting up this game less of a hassle.

Though past comments are right; the game is as good as a Sonic Adventure game at least, I recommend it for being an original Sega IP and more if you played All-Star Racing. Sadly it's a mid port coming from the Sega PC line, which had other eggcellent ports in certain cases, but it seems all the king's horses and all the king's men weren't available at the time for Billy.

Has anyone got this working on the steam deck SteamOS

Played this a lot as a kid

Looks good! Thanks for the upload

i ran into a similar issue as Chickie_bubble, the game ran like garbage on my laptop which can play old windows games(95-XP). its not very powerful, I can play games like Gurumin(a game made for windows XP)on my laptop without issue then why in the hell is Billy Hatcher running like complete ass?? I even ran it through compatibility mode(Windows XP service pack 2 and even the later service packs)to see if it would work properly, it didn't do anything to midigate issues. as for the "bunch of binary" chickie_bubble brought up? this is a common thing with sega pc games, lots of files are basically the internal organs of said games.......... which really says a lot about the Sega PC line(yeah its an official thing mostly in japan though, look it up)and having the games files not be in folders and just all over the place... hell! i even have puyo pop fever on pc(the actual pc port translated and provided by Hernan)and while it ran a little slugishly, it actually ran decently and could play properly! billy hatcher on the other hand? it can barely hold itself up and thats sad, i actually really like billy hatcher and wanted to play it natively on pc without the use of dolphin. unfortunately for me, this was nothing short of a rotten egg experience. if people KNOW why this is happening exactly, please post a comment here. I'm at my wits end.

I've encountered an error when i install the game and click play game nothing seems to be happening o tried uninstalling and reinstalling but it hadn't made any change i ensured i had DirectX but that didn't work either might you know a solution to this?

Solid game for fans of the gamecube era. It's made by Sega though so expect the whacky issues similar to sonic games but if you're ok with that it revolves around the egg mechanics rolling the egg in to enemies throwing the eggs hatching the eggs.
It's eggs and a boy in a chicken suit.
