Comment from game donator (SugarLies):

This disc is “Let’s Ride! The Rosemond Hill Collection” which contains both Legacy of Rosemond Hill and Competitions at Rosemond Hill.

“Install.exe” will start the setup for Competitions, while “Setup.exe” will start the setup for Legacy. The disc didn’t have an autorun option for me.

I have Windows 10 and WinCDEmu to start the disc and always choose ‘CD-ROM’ for the disc type. I’m not sure if doing otherwise may cause issues, so I thought I’d mention.

I haven’t tested much gameplay on Competitions, however I have some helpful info for small issues I came across in Legacy:

• I did have trouble with the game wanting to start if I skipped the tutorial, but was able to start new games just fine after running through the tutorial once.
• Saving the game gives me a popup about D3D every time, and the box I put the save in still says ‘free’ as if it’s unused, but it still loads my game when I start it again.
• Alt+Tabbing or hitting the Windows key at the wrong time can cause the game to not function. If you close all the windows, you may still find the game under ‘processes’ in your task manager. One of them will play the menu audio repeatedly. These are called black.exe, game.exe, and menu.exe. Just close all instances of these before starting the game again.

      In my game, I had the same issue, but loading the save slot that says empty but is where I clicked save always seemed to actually load the game for me. I have a really long comment below explaining a lot of things about my issues with the game if you’re interested, just need to go back a little bit now because there’s a lot of comments.

    I managed to make it work on windows xp in a vmware virtual machine, but when the game start i can only see mesh and no texture, everything is white and grey. does anyone know how to fix that ?

      I’m only familiar with how to run it without virtual machines because my build cannot use them. I have a very long comment below if you scroll a while that explains how I got it working on Windows 10 without vm. My only other guess is DGVoodoo as it can help with graphics issues, but I have no clue if it would work for an emulated OS.

      I must admit I am not totally sure. My only suggestion is to try different programs like DGVoodoo or DxWnd to see if the graphics edits will force the game to run properly. I sometimes get lucky with this programs when I can’t get past a spot in a game. I hope this helps 😭

    I have the same problem as the other people here: running setup.exe does not do anything. I’ve tried all the suggested solutions, except for the one that involves the .rar file. Where can I find that file? Are ther any other ideas? I use Windows 11, maybe that`s a problem…? And I’ve tried daemaon tools and WinCDEmu…

      Hello! I am back on Windows 10 again, but I use OTDVM to enable 16-bit programs to run. I don’t think you need this(?), but I did not try Rosemond on Windows 11, so I guess worth a shot if you haven’t since 11 is much more restricted on its compatibility with old games. Be sure that every time you try to run setup.exe that Rosemond is not opening any other background programs/processes as it seems to do that. I don’t know if it does during the setup process, but if so, it will stop you from starting the program for good until you clear those extra processes or restart your computer. If you want, you can reach out my way on Discord if you have that. I’m more than glad to help if I can! I have a server that’s for my old games YouTube channel; I would prefer you just add me from there so I’m not giving out my username directly on here. https://discord.gg/KDgQGF9

      I had to use Google Translate but it seems like it’s not finding SETUP.exe. Maybe try placing the files into a folder in a different location and be sure to run everything as administrator?

          If it’s asking for the CD, that means you just need to have the ISO mounted to be able to run the game. You can eject it when not in use and mount it again. I use WinCDEmu and have it set as a CD Rom every time

          I have got it to work but when I launch game, it begins in black screen and then close after minutes, I’m able to play it on virtuell maskin, but I don’t like using virtuell maskin.

          My only other guesses would be working with something like DGVoodoo to see if it allows the game to run. I know the game opens a few different windows, one of them called “black.exe” I think, so it sounds like the game still isn’t starting even though some processes are.

          I can’t help you enough with that, there are tutorials on the site where you download it and also on YouTube and other sites. You might have to play with settings. I didn’t use it with this game so I have no idea how to apply it to this specific game. Especially since I did not have any issues with the game running in general.

    Does anyone know how to change the resolution? When the menu opens, it’s really zoomed in, and I can’t do anything.

      You can try D3DWindower which often gives me good luck. If not, I’d look around for alternative options that force a window size or something like that. Some programs exist just to allow resolution and windowing options on old games. Good luck! 🙂

    I first got Legacy to work just fine. Except the freezing when listening to the radio after the Glenmountain Championships, everything went smoothly. The radio listening wasn’t necessary to finish the game anyway. Played Legacy in Swedish as a kid and loved it, the English version has very poor voice acting in comparison, but that was pretty much the only thing that bugged me.

    I do have some issues with Competitions though. Tried to open the INSTALL.exe regularly, as well as with OTVDM. Nothing. I did mount with Daemon Tools, opening the mounted image file through Daemon Tools and executing the Setup.exe within the Competitions_at_Rosemond_Hill folder finally gave me the installation wizard, which went through quick and without issues. Manually executed the drivers wizard as it didn’t want to automatically do it with the setup wizard, no biggie. The DirectX 7 wizard booted and loaded, but was terminated without any message every time. I do have DirectX 12 since before though, so may be an error there without it giving any message.

    Got things installed and open the INSTALL.exe to boot, boots fine, can be played, but when getting to the main menu the colors are all kinds of screwed up. When googling, rainbow colors in old games are common in Win7 and WinVista, but barely find anything about Win10 x64. The solutions commonly used for Win7/Vista doesn’t work to get the game displaying as it should. Played a few rounds and gave up on it as I didn’t feel the gameplay was worth going through the trouble for. Maybe someone else finds a solution for it.
