The Twisted Metal PC Ports Are A NIGHTMARE

So recently I decided to take the plunge into making virtual PC'S because emulating Windows is pretty much the only way to make certain games work as a lot of '90s Windows games are as compatible with modern systems as I am with attractive single women. So emulation is the way to go. And on that note, part of my reason for setting these emulators up was because I recently heard about something that intrigued the hell out of me. Specifically the PC port of both Twisted Metal One and twisted metal two. That's right, you probably didn't know this, but these two games do in fact have PC ports. And seeing as I've never actually seen anybody cover these ports, that question mark hanging over these games intrigued me. I wanted to see first hand what they were like, what the pros were, what the cons were, and see if they were the superior port. I wanted to see what these games were like at theoretically peak potential for when they came out. So let's check them out.

there is a TM2 Extra .. that is pretty hard . So i think this port is based on that PS1 Twisted Metal 2 Extra .

[@donoteatmikezila]

For what it's worth, I had the PC version of Twisted Metal 1 back when it was new and the double-input thing happened to me even on real hardware using a real gamepad. I didn't have a Sidewinder, but some knockoff as well as a joystick. Both gave double inputs in the menus and twitchy controls in the game. Like you, I just used the keyboard instead. I don't remember ever seeing the game in a store, but I got it out of a catalog that was available from a local computer store. I had to send in a money order and they sent the game. I didn't get a box or anything, it was just a jewel case with a disc and a manual.

[@OtioseFanatic]

The resolution changing on different screens is just an old PC gaming thing due to performance issues, and no it's not an issue or even noticeable most of the time on original hardware since old games like this expect to be played on an analog crt display. That will take whatever signal you give it and just run it in full screen. Also, a lot of your issues you had playing the games would likely have been solved by installing the games on your modern PC with DGVoodoo2 wrapper instead of using a virtual machine. That thing is ACTUAL magic.

[@Dxceor2486]

Even playstation 1 games do this trick (they usually switch between 240p and 480i)

[@OtioseFanatic]

@@Dxceor2486 yep! You are absolutely correct. That being said, it is way more pronounced and common on older PC games.

[@LucasCunhaRocha]

it is not magic, it just translate the API calls of old DX versions to DX11, the reason 99% of old games don't work on newer windows is because Microsoft just disabled all versions of DX older than 9, I don't know why they did that (probably for security reasons) otherwise win10/11 would run any game made for windows just like the older versions. Windows is surprisingly compatible with old stuff as long as the support for it is not intentionally disabled. Also google "OTVDM" it is another compatibility layer that allows those old installers to work on newer windows, so you can actually run the installers which are 16/32 bit executables and not allowed to run normally on 64-bit versions of windows.

[@AxiomofDiscord]

He was using a full emulator, but yeah ultimately the problem is with a digital display.

[@Freezeclangames]

Yeah I was about to say. Playing older games on a virtual machine is probably the worst way to play them. Nearly all of his issues would be fixed if he just ran it natively.

If there is one thing that the PC ports have over the console ports, it is the modding community.

You are by far the one man that the Twisted Metal needs the most. The series almost lack any sort of documentation or preservation, which is very shocking. Ports comparison, posters, concept art, preservation etc.. all of that is very little and when there is it's old from like 16 years ago and in low quality. This series, while not underrated, is very underappreciated. It needs more stuff like this. Twisted Metal is the Godfather of Playstation franchises and Sweet Tooth is Sony's first mainstream mascot, before Crash, Spyro, Ratchet, Kratos, Nathan Drake and Joel.

[@autobotstarscream765]

Sony doesn't even own Crash and Spyro, they just got a timed exclusivity for the franchises just like they did for almost every third-party franchise which is why the PS1 stomped at NES levels despite the Saturn having comparable hardware (no major screwups on the level of the N64 using cartridges instead of optical discs), it was the same tactic Nintendo used to have the NES stomp out SEGA's previous Master System all those years ago (as opposed to the other tactic of blatant monopolistic practices that only worked in the USA). Crash was a de facto mascot for the PS1 in particular instead of PlayStation as a whole in the same way Cloud Strife was, and for the same reasons. The fact that you left the initial intended flagship mascots for PS1 and PS2, Robbit and Jak, tells you how forgettable they ended up being even though Jak and Daxter also deserve more respect from Sony, but Robbit? Nobody even knew he existed! It was Sweet Tooth's smiling flaming face that graced all the magazines of the day such as Fingerhut that weren't gaming magazines, but shopping magazines used to actually promote and sell the brand and product to the general audience to whom PlayStation was new, they just remembered Nintendo and SEGA at that point. Sweet Tooth and even Calypso were more important than pretty much any mascot that Sony actually owned, as opposed to the mercenaries they hired to pilot the PS1 to victory, they were the ones standing shoulder to shoulder with Crash, Spyro, Cloud, the lot of them! And while Ratchet and Kratos eventually took over the PS2 and beyond, Twisted Metal: Black is still one of the world-conquering PS2's most vividly-remembered and talked-about experiences. 🤡 🔥

[@moleyface]

The arbitrary details being left out probably have to do with transparency! Transparency is still deceptively difficult to program in 3D, and that would have been especially true on early Windows PC's. So the devs probably just opted to omit those items entirely rather than try to program a transparent shader that works well for fully modeled objects just for a couple of items. Kind of makes for a slightly worse experience, but it's understandable.

1:48 I don't know if I disagree with "getting the inferior experiences generally"--during the PS1 era, PC and console capabilities were still quite different to the extent that games were usually designed around one or the other and rarely was it easy to port, so whether PC or console was superior really depended on the game.

I knew of the one PC port (never got to play it), didn't know the first game was also ported. I'm pretty sure that both could be run on Windows 10 and 11 without a VM because of the 16-bit support systems in place, but I might be wrong, and even if correct there may be some weirdness associated with them. ... As far as the resolution changes, that's nothing new, but they were supposed to stretch to fullscreen as best as possible. ... You ran TM 1 on a Windows 95 VM, then a Windows 98 VM. I would of used DOSBOX (a lot of games back then actually ran via MS DOS).

The PC port of Twisted Metal 2 literally made my childhood, everyone I knew had it when they were young or at the very least know about the game and yes I was playing it using the keyboard. As for some missing details it's because the worked on a slightly older build of the game to make the port, not sure why though. Apparently the PC port of Twisted Metal 1 was released in Japan only and didn't sell much, that why it's a very obscure port with little to no information on it. The fan made ports on My Abandonware works perfectly on Windows 7 and I recommend it for everyone who wants to give it a try.

Have a idea about the double inputs. If you play through steam and use a controller program like DS4, the steam input and DS4 input overlap causing double input.

[@tek_lynx4225]

The fix is to use real hardware. PCEM\x86box while great for what its doing, has issues. DX3\5 games of this era really don't run well till you get to PII-450 levels and no current CPU can emulate anything at that level even if you got a 14900k the best your getting is a celeron at 300ish with x86box. You can't even really max out dual voodoo II's or a Voodoo 3 till your around a 1ghz PIII levels. those early DX3\5 video cards were cpu bound heavily as they did not offload the lighting to the GPU. PCEM\x86box has no plans to ever emulate a DX7 gpu. This entire era is still screwed over for emulation sadly and the only real option still is to use real hardware.

You could try in the future finding the .ini and .cfg files in the games install folder, right-click and mark them as read-only once youve set ykur desired resolution.

I remember that issue with controllers on Windows 98. I cannot remember the cause or the fix; but I think it was something really simple and silly. It has been over 15 years since I setup a Sidewinder on W98. A lot of games were not very good at switching from the native desktop resolution to the game resolution, try setting the resolution of your desktop to the default game resolution. I remember having to do that for a number of games, especially earlier titles.

[@AlsoMeowskivich]

I was unaware of these ports. I knew about Final Fantasy 7's pc port, not only because they put it on steam (though they patched out the original midi crunchy soundfont in favor of the ps1's superior soundtrack), but also because I've seen the pc port irl at a friend's house.

[@GreenLeefMusic]

You may be able to use a controller with the keyboard controls if you add in the virtual machine exe to Steam as a non-steam game, then make a custom controller layout for it to make the controller act as the different keyboard buttons that this game uses. I would do this in Steam Big Picture Mode for ease of setup similar to how it works on a Steam Deck. Your double input issue in the emulator itself may also be being caused by having Steam open but not running it via Steam, so you also could try exiting Steam while running the VM if you arent running it thru Steam. Ive had similar issues with this when using other emulators before so this is possible.

I'm far from an expert, but I wanted to comment on the first game only running "full screen" the first time. Computer programs don't make decisions on their own. If the game isn't going into full screen on the second launch, it's because something has changed between the first and second launch. Most likely something in the config file, or something in the registry. I would start by making a copy of any config files the game has, and then copying them back to the directory before the second launch. If that doesn't do it, then the setting is probably in the registry. If you can find it, there's an old version of SysInternals' RegMon that runs under Windows 98, and which will monitor what changes programs make to the registry. You can use it to see what keys the installer creates and then what keys it makes when it's run. Then you can compare them before and after to see what's changed. Once you know what's changing and preventing it from running in full screen, you can make a simple script to copy back the original config file, or merge a .REG file into the registry and then launch the game, so it will be fixed each time. Yes, it's more work up front, but if you plan to keep playing the game, it will save you having to re-install it each time. Plus, you can share your fix with others. :)
