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.

    I have tried to get this game to work properly with much trial and error and I’ve finally got it working as it should! I was having the issue where the game goes to a black screen after the Maple Valley Horse Trials showjumping. Here is what I did in hopes that it will help someone else:

    -Before installing/running the SETUP for the game, right click it and go into properties
    -Go to the compatibility tab
    -Check Run this program in compatibility mode for: and choose Windows XP (Service Pack 2)
    -Check Reduced color mode and choose 16-bit (65536) color
    -Check Disable fullscreen optimizations
    -Check run this program as an administrator
    -Hit apply and install your game!
    -Once installed these settings should stay applied to the application but you can check the properties to make sure they are.

    This has worked for me really well and I even feel like the game is less buggy in general. Something to note as well is when you go to save your game and choose a slot it closes the game but it does save! When I go back in to load the game, the slot I chose is still labeled “Free” but clicking on it takes me to my saved game! I’m so happy to finally relive some of this childhood nostalgia 🙂 Best wishes and happy gaming!

      Oh I also forgot to mention I keep the ISO mounted while I play, not sure if that even does anything but you never know!

    I have a bug and I’m not sure if it’s fixable, but I thought I’d give it a try here: In the second part of the game, after you finished the rosemond hill competition, there is supposed to be a cutscene with joh. While you are cleaning out the stable, he comes in, comes up to you and then… nothing. he just stands tehre, frozen behind me, I can#t move or do anything and his dialogue simply doesn’t start.

    At first I thought it was because my charcter was humming while cleaning the stables. but I finally managed to get a situation where she wasn#t and his dialogue still won’t start. Has anyone else encountered this and if so, did you find a solution?

      When I first played this game YEARS ago, I had the same issue. Its the reason I never played it again. I hoped it was just my disc, but seeing this comment all these years later confirms it must be an issue with the game itself. Because even when I was like 15 (I am 33 now) I couldn’t figure out how to fix the problem. Which also bums me out because I was hoping by downloading it now that I could finally finish the game lol oh well! Gonna give it a shot anyway. If I figure it out, I will update you!
