Anyone managed to run Fur Fighters on a XP system?

Hi all,

up to now I've only played Fur Fighters on my Dreamcast.
Since I really love Fluff Matches (that's why I'm still in Quack City...) I recently bought the PC version. I thought it could be cool to play Fluff Matches in a network with a full screen view but unfortunately FF is not XP compatible (I knew that when I bought FF for PC but I hoped it would work somehow).

Anyhow there's a patch for Me provided by Acclaim and of course I've tried to run FF in "Windows 98 / Windows Me" compatibility mode.
But after clicking on [OK] in the "Device selection" dialog that shows up when starting FF the following "fatal error" shows up: D3DXERR_NOMATCHFOUND

I've found several developer sites telling me that D3DX is an Direct3D extension. Unfortunately this information isn't that useful if you're not a developer...

I guess it's an DirectX issue - the system requirements state that DirectX 7 is needed for FF, so there might be a problem with DirectX 8 or 9 (cannot be downdated).

Is it really necessary to install Me in order to run FF on a PC?
Or is there anyone who knows a trick (or anyone who has already ported FF to Mac OS X... )?

Any info would be highly appreciated...


Cheers,

georg



My PC:


XP Pro SP1
P3/600

ATI Radeon 9000 (latest driver)
DirectX 9.0a

Acclaim got bankrupt so they sold the company to a guy eho changed it to acclaim games active today.
I managed to download the game on pc with xp fix from thepiratebay.org
