Fixes issues with SimCity 2000 Special Edition (Win95) without any patches, to keep the files in their original state.
To install SimCity 2000 (Win95), copy the DATA
and WIN95\SC2K
folders from
the disc to some location where the program can create files. The two folders
should end up next to each other. Please make sure that they aren't too far
from the root of the drive, because there is a 260 character limit.
To use simcity-noinstall, copy WINMM.DLL
to the SC2K
folder.
After you start the game, simcity-noinstall.ini
will be created in the SC2K
folder, where you can edit your mayor and company names, among other settings.
This setup allows you to freely relocate the game, because every setting of the
game is stored in the ini.
Due to the limitations of CMake's VS generator regarding MASM source files, you
have to use the Ninja
or NMake
generator to create a build system.
Look into the WM_MDIGETACTIVE
message spam. This causes high CPU usage on the
core where the game is running.
