Hi,
I am trying to run Triple Play 2000 on Windows 10. I found your guide and went step by step. At the end when I want to run it I get a notification I have to install directx6. How can I go over it?
Thank you!

Hi Michal! Thanks for stopping by. Try this -- download this file and unzip it to your Triple Play 2000 game folder. Try the game again and let me know if it works. DDraw.zip (82.19 KB) |

Oh thanks to you for helping me.
As a guest I cannot download files. Can I find it somewhere else?

hehehe, wow, it's awesome to see people happy to finally have a chance to play these games on modern OS's. By the side, as a little off-topic, is there a way to legally acquire Triple Play Baseball 2000 for free? Cause sites like isozone and other big ones doesn't have that anywhere.

Hey Maarcis!  I know, right, it makes my day when people post stuff like that. OK, now I don't know about acquiring these games legally...LOL but Old-Games.com has a link to Triple Play 2000. Download speeds at that site are horribly slow, but it's one of those things where can you start it at night before you go to bed and hope it runs through overnight. www.old-games.com/download/6480/triple-play-2000The other thing you could do, which might actually be easier -- there was a port of TP2000 released for the Nintendo 64 which was reasonably faithful to the PC version. Could always grab a N64 emulator and that ROM and try the game out that way. IMO, these are okay games - they were a little too home-run happy for my taste. Maybe I just never learned how to pitch properly.  Best baseball game of this era was probably All Star Baseball for N64. A shame that never made it to PC. |

ah, yes, the old-games.com, not only it has horrifically slow speeds, but also they tend to abruptly stop at random points, leaving my game corrupted because of it, but oh well, i'll try. And don't worry, i'm only asking because, i got weird curiosity trying out old EA Sports titles since i got MVP Baseball 2004 and 2005 on my pc.

I download your fixes but when I'm going to play I got the crash for the dx6z.dll
I already replace the dll for the one you posted but still crash.
Any ideas?

If you have a multi core CPU, you need to set affinity to only ONE core, otherwise it will crash. You can also try this other version for the dx6z.dll (different hash), just download, rename, and replace. |

Glad you got it working, Ashir. Which version of the game was that, Triple Play 2000 or Triple Play Baseball? Or both?

Thank you so much for making this fix. It's such a nostalgic favorite of mine. There was never an easy fix to play this game on a modern machine until now. Before this, I had to run TP2000 by installing a virtual copy of Windows98 and installing the game on it. What a pain-inducing hassle that was! Now I can play it right off of my desktop. Thank you!

I realize there's a chance no one is going to see this, but I'm still going to try. I've followed the instructions to get the game to install, I've downloaded the DDraw.dll file, set the game to run in Windows XP SP2 compatibility and the game will launch. However, once it gets past the EA Sports intro video, the game crashes. Any ideas on how to fix this?
