Snoopy vs. the Red Baron

How to Play

The game with NoCD has been tested on Windows 7 64-bit, works fine. If you have troubles with running the game on modern systems - check our Notes

Install & play guide:

• Mount the disc image. You will need the utility for mounting disc image files, like WinCDEmu, UltraISO, Alcohol 52%/Alcohol 120% or Daemon Tools Lite
• Install the game - click on "Install on Hard Drive" in autorun menu. It is recommended to install the game not in default path, but in some other, non-system folder, like C:/Games/Snoopy vs Red Baron
• After you installed the game - install NoCD, simply copy SRB.exe from the archive and put it into game folder, agree to replace original file
• Open the directory with the game and find SRB.exe. Right click on SRB.exe -> Properties -> Compatibility -> Set "Run this app in compatibility mode with Windows XP" and "Run as administrator"
• Launch the game and play. If the game doesn't work in compatibility mode with Windows XP - try to launch it in compatibility mode with other version of Windows (Windows 98, Windows 2000, Windows 7, etc.)

If that instruction looks too compicated for you - you can use the repack version, it has a simple installer, just install & play

Notes:

• If the installation doesn't start - try to launch Setup.exe in compatibility mode with old version of Windows (98, 2000 or XP)
• It is recommended to install all versions of Microsoft Visual C++ Redistributable and NET Framework for the correct work of the game. Also it is recommended to install K-Lite Codec Pack for the correct work of in-game videos
• The game works on DirectX 8, so if you're using Windows 8, 8.1, 10 or 11 - you need to enable DirectPlay: Go to Control Panel, and select 'Programs'. Select 'Turn Windows features on and off', click on 'Legacy Components' and check the box 'DirectPlay'. Select OK, once the installation is done, restart your computer
• The game is using DirectX 8 and should work on any graphics card that support DirectX 9. But if you get error at launch - you can use d3d8to9 wrapper, it is simple dll-file that adapts DirectX 8 games to DirectX 9 renderer. Simply put d3d8.dll next to SRB
• NoCD is required for the launch because the game is using SafeDisc DRM protection, which doesn't work correctly on modern systems. NoCD "cracks" DRM protection and allows to run the game without the disc. If you see error that there's not enough space on the hard drive when you copy NoDVD files - re-install the game in non-system folder, like D:/Games/Snoopy vs Red Baron, Windows Protection may block copying of files to system folders (like C:/Program Files or C:/Windows)
• If the installer shows error "The game was installed before but not deleted properly" - open Registry Edit (regedit.exe), go to HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE/SOFTWARE/Wow6432Node/NAMCO BANDAI GAMES and delete Snoopy vs. the Red Baron subfolder. After that run the installation again, it should work
• If you have troubles with running the game on Windows 7 and newer OS - try to run it through dgVoodoo utility (copy the dll-files from the MS/x86 folder, dgVoodooCpl.exe and dgVoodoo.conf to the game folder, then launch the game from SRB.exe; to change dgVoodoo settings - open dgVoodooCpl.exe)
