-CAUTION- MM4 REQUIRES U TO DOWNLOAD THE STARFORCE DRM WHICH CAUSES PCS TO GET BRICKED. DONT INSTALL IF U DONT KNOW WHAT UR DOING.
IF ALREADY TO LATE AND ITS ALREADY BRICKED THEN LOOK FOR "delete Starforce DRM bricked"

I don't recommend Micro Machines V4 as the content dissatisfied me, but it's not the only reason which discouraged me from further playing. The most important is probably StarForce drm, which is responsible for breaking PCs (it's not that it may destroy the PC like Spoon12 wrote, it DESTROYS the computer! I applied the nocd by swapping the original exe with the one from the crack beforehand). The content isn't that rich as in Micro Machines V3, where you could swim a motorboat or drive a monster truck - I remember there was 1 stage with transition between a monster truck and motorboat. Here you have no boats to swim. When you play this on a 120 Hz screen, you'll probably finish the game on the same day. Not very interesting... there are no characters from previous Micro Machines games - where are: Jethro, Cherry, Spider, other drivers? You have no avatar, instead you input a 3 letter "name" just like in most coin-op games. You race against COM named players. Just like in a typical game, where NPCs have the same initials or even the whole name. The only things I can appreciate here are weaponry and cool environments. But why is this Micro Machines branded? This license is wasted!

Hey there, it WAS the Starforce DRM - I'm all fixed up. That was a scary few hours

If you have this issue, follow steps to remove Starforce DRM from your PC

Hello, windows 10 user here.

Just tried to install and play. Had to run a protection software? It restarted my computer and now it won't run! My PC is stuck on a repair loop. I'm attempting a workaround repair at the moment.

This could be a virus or this starforce DRM, which may break newer PCs. Be careful!

Works correctly
There's a problem with the sand in Driller Killer stage, but isn't enough for a bad experience

I copied the portable version straight to a USB and ran it from there, works perfectly on a windows 10 machine (9th gen cpu) with 2 wireless USB pads off ebay.

no need to install the update or the no CD patch.

This game is equipped with StarForce DRM known for damaging newer Windows systems. So beware!

I'm having some difficulties installing and running the game. First: Just when I start the dowload it tells me that I dont fulfill minimal system requirements (I can still install it tho). After the download is complete, I need to install some kind of protection software to run the game. Unfortunately I cannot install this software.

I've never done anything similar to this so I don't really know how to fix my problem. Plus I understand that the other comment described problem close to mine tho I have no clue how to run the cracked version. The cracked version only shows the controller and the video settings for me and crashes almost instantly.

If anyone knows how this can be fixed, please let me know. ^.^

I loved the entire Micro Machines series from V1 all the way to V4, although I miss the character avatars from the first three games, and the track editor is nowhere near as robust as it was in the PC version of V2, it's better than none at all. Also, this game is miles better than MM World Series...

Oh, and one important detail for anyone wanting to play on Windows 10: USE THE NO CD CRACK! Even if you have the original disc or have the ISO mounted, Protect.exe will prevent the game from running, claiming that "Your operating system does not meet minimal requirements." Brilliant... I was nearly pulling my hair out with the compatibility settings until I used the crack, so you should too!
