Yeah, yeah. I knew that. I just wanted to make sure that you guys did.

Works pretty good. Fps moves from 35 to 55 might look at the config some but glad I can even play it.

Hello,

 

It's been six months since I've took a crack at getting MVP baseball 2005 to work on my AMD based system

 

I was able to get the game to run,

 

I used a graphics wrapper called dgVoodoo2 that converts old graphics APIs to Direct3D 11 or Direct3D 12. I also made the prior modifications of adding the nocd fix and making the modifications in the registry to avoid any DRM issues.

 

I was able to play the game in 1920x1080, the gameplay was mostly smooth, the ball movement was a bit jittery as well as some other gameplay elements. I can see if certain settings within bgVoodoo or other settings could fix this issue to create a near perfect experience

 

I used bgVoodo version 2.82.3 / x86 install option

 

Current specs:

msi b550-a-pro mobo

ryzen 9 5950x  

6800 xt 

64gb ddr4 2800

windows 10 pro x64

 

recorded gameplay:

 

the video is unlisted

 

I will keep this thread updated if I can find a way to make the gameplay more smooth

 

ikz,

 

 

UPDATE: It seems there is no way of fixing the jittery ball movement, its related to the NO CD patch messing with the prior patches, if you have the disk, you can implement the patches properly to avoid having issues. If its really annoying you. What you could do is frame cap the game to 30/40FPS, which will cause the jittery movement to stop. For me, I can live with the jittery ball movement, everything else in the game is very smooth. This is awesome, I hope this can help other people out as well

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

This is amazing stuff might try this out with my rog ally.

unfortunately, have not been able to get the game up and running, really disappointed 

 

i tried to use virtual box 7.0 with windows 7 pro x64 as well as windows xp x64 & x86 (with service packs installed), kept getting the error message of "need directx9 and hardware accel" tried using virtualbox 6.1x and 5.2x as well as vmware workstation 17.0, same issue (i definitely made sure to install directx9 and hardware accel was on) then decided to go ahead and see if i could get it up and running on an old laptop with an install of windows 7 pro x64 (latitude e5530) i had at work. said the same thing of (directx9 and hardware accel). then went back to seeing if i could get it up and running on my windows 10 machine

 

i get the error message about insert the game into the cd rom, which has been mentioned on this thread. I tried using poweriso, dameon tools lite as well as windows explorer (yes cd2 was inserted), also tried a fix that helped with games like cod2 and 4 where they overwrote the installed .exe with the cd2 .exe, still no joy. tried the secdrv.sys method where you get the file from an old OS, place in system32 drivers folder, sign the driver with program, turned on test mode through command prompt, make sure secdrv in regedit is 2 (also tried 3,4) secdrv was running, still no joy. ive installed the game on different drives, tried the nocd fix, in which a black screen occurs for a second, then goes back into the desktop. tried changing my res to 4:3 ratio, tried using only one monitor, tried all properties settings within the .exe, still no joy

 

the last thing im willing to do is get a separate drive and seeing if i could install windows 8.1 or 7 onto it and seeing if it will run with my current rig. thing is i have pretty modern hardware, and finding drivers is always a risk for malware intrusion since the manufacturer's sites don't provide drivers for older os's. is there any hope of getting this game up and running on my windows 10 pc? im just about to give up  

 

specs:

msi b550-a-pro mobo

ryzen 9 5950x 

6700 xt 

32gb ddr4 2133

windows 10 pro x64

 

I never got the game to work even with the fixed exe on any amd cpu. But I do have the game running on intel cpu with nvidia gpu no problem on windows 11. I guess this leads back into amd's problems with directx 9 support.

You did nothing of the sort. Mvp has been around longer and has more mods and modders who have made them. The thing you fail to see is that mods for this game have continued to be made to this day but for some reason mods for 2k12 over the years have really slowed up. Why? I have no idea and if you really want to know you can message every modder who made the mods for that game and ask them why they stopped. Get to work, there are quite a few.

Evevy one devotes their time to MVP05 and I fail to see why it gets undying support here. Is it easier to mod, even though the game is older than MLB2K 12?  The graphics aren't nearly as good. So what is the fascination with it?  Honest question.

I think it's also that MLB 2k12 was just an average game and not really beloved. MVP 2005 is one of the best sports games of all time. I would be interested if someone at least had all the current faces for mlb 2k12. I still mostly play MVP though.

I spoke too soon. I signed the driver file with the MakeCert command-line utility with VS Studio Developer Command Prompt, and miraculously I got past the error and saw the MVP loading screen. But then I got this error: 

This is crazy! I have CD2 in. 

You can try mounting the cd with daemon tools lite and see if that works. I'm currently running the game on windows 11 on two pc's. It sometimes has issues starting on my desktop but i just have a batch file that continuously tries to open the game until it's running (usually less than 10 tries). Once I'm past the initial loading screens it's good. On my dell g3 laptop with windows 11 it boots up everytime.
