if you run the game by autorun and says install directx 8.1
run Lemans.exe instead, no need to install directx

A help for a new players. To fix de framerate, the best option is use this script https://github.com/Hirtol/speedhack-rs 686 version (who game will read) and put the base_speed at generated speedhack_config.json (on game files after first run) to 1.2 value.

I installed Windows 11 25H2 using:
Check "Run this program in compatibility for: Windows XP Service Pack 2" Then using dgVoodooCpl.exe I configured OutputAPI = d3d11warp I can run the game at any resolution at 60FPS

Please support the PCGW page for this game. The game has mistake with a framerate, it was confused! It's not capped at 21 FPS, it's a game running originally than 0.9 of game speed, and does not affect on frames, even I see a video on YouTube that it played on Windows 98 operating system. Install Cheat Engine, enable speedhack and set the speed to 1.1.

Where is PC port based on the PS1version developed by Eutechnyx? It was released in 2000. Just to preface, I am not referring to the remake version (this page version) developed by Melbourne House.

If you face issue that the setup fails saying that it needs Intel version of ME/XP then don't worry just follow these steps: 1. Open the game's CD content. 2. Click RMB on Setup.exe file. 3. Click LMB on "Properties". 4. Go to "Compatibility" tab. 5. Check "Run this program in compatibility for: Windows Xp Service Pack 3" 6. Apply the change.

This is not a issue. The game will originally run minimally just in 0.9 of game speed. Install Cheat Engine, enable speedhack and set the speed to 1.1.

Para quienes no les funciona el instalador. En el iso hay una carpeta program files, dentro hay una carpeta que se llama infogrames copienla y peguenla donde deséen (yo la puse en programs files x86) dentro de la carpeta infogrames hay otra con el nombre del juego, dentro hay un archivo que se llama Lemans.exe ejecútenlo y ya está. A mi me funcionó en mi Windows 8.1 64bits con gráficos integrados Intel HD graphics.

okay, i managed to boot by using running autoprun.exe in compatibility mode XP service pack 2. Installed the game and everything. But it runs too slow for some odd reason. Unplayable in the state that it is.

Like others have said. After downloading the file from here. Open up the rar file and inside the folder you will see a disc iso type image (looks like a small disc) Get a programme to open that Iso image to extract the games folder and dir contents. I use a programme called Magic Iso to do this. Then after extraction in that folder you will see a folder called programme files. Go into that folder and you will see a game exe called Lemans2000_Win32_rel. Start game from that exe. You don't need to install the game as the game will start like a rip disc. You can move this extracted folder from anywhere out of your Downloads to anywhere on your PC and even put a desktop shortcut on your desktop from the exe (previously mentioned) to start the game in the future.

For anyone wanting to play this on Windows 10/11 you'll need to bypass the installer by open the LeMans disc image file and from there go to program files Infogrames Le Mans 24 Hours and copy that folder into your documents. Once in documents open the file and run Lemans2000_Win32_rel and you'll get a window pop up showing your graphics card, fullscreen option and a selection of resolution options. Select 1280x960x32@60 and once you click OK the game will start.
