I found a way! Tested on Windows 7 and 8!
You can play online or in LAN with this quick fix. Online play through Hamachi is possible, but I recommend Tunngle.
Installation:Install Tunngle and register.
Use the
TMA release of TM2: extract it somewhere
Extract this archive into your Twisted Metal folder:
IPXWrapperThis is an IPX wrapper, designed to tunnel IPX packets as UDP packets. All of the players must have it.Run directplay-win32.reg if your system is 32bit or directplay-win64.reg if your system is 64bit.
To finish of the installation, make start.bat file containing
Code:@ECHO OFF
set __COMPAT_LAYER=Win95
TM2.EXE
inside your TM2 folder
You can do that by creating a text file, pasting this in notepad and saving, then renaming it to start.bat
Configuration:Run ipxconfig.exe from your Twisted Metal folder and select your
Primary interface, then press ok:
If you want to play locally, in your own LAN, select your lan/wireless card
If you want to play online, select your Tunngle or Hamachi interface
Play:Start Tunngle, find a Twisted Metal 2 lobby and connect.
Open the game by opening start.bat
Select multiplayer, then select
IPX (tcp/ip doesn't work), then create or join a game!
