This seem to work for the font outlining. Great. Most other thigns also seem to work now. Strange.

The scaled smooth sprites does nothing thou. Not very important. D3D9 glitches quite a bit, but DDraw5 works quite ok.

These does not do anything at all for me:
Filter
Mouse speed
Enable side borders
Enable top & bottom
Smooth scaled sprites

Example of think lines of text:

Ok, found the config. That's good. Most options doesn't seem to do anything, but I guess that could be due to the game itself?

For the mouse issue... if I move the mouse cursor to the very edge of the window on left or right, the in-game cursor disappears for a split second. This continues to happen as long as I move the mouse cursor from eg. top left to bottom left or vice versa.

Also, the in-game text in MMD looks very strange, like the black lining of the letters are too thick. A scaling thing?

No cfg-file is created when I run acwin --setup. The game I'm running is Maniac Mansion Deluxe. Also, I can get the mouse lock to work, but it glitches, kind of like the mouse is trying to "excape" the lock.

Are there any way to "lock" to mouse inside a windowed AGS game?

So far I found nothing. Any suggestions?

There's also a way to run many older AGS games using new development version of engine. It now allows to run games from v. 2.5 and up, and you may select Direct3D renderer for them (there might be still a problem with certain plugins, that require DirectDraw), as well as scaling filters.
Not all versions are fully compatible, but I know that numerous old games were successfully tested.

You may get the preliminary release here:

Unpack the archive, then copy "acwin.exe" file to your game's directory.
To start the game - run acwin.exe (NOT game exe).
You won't be able to use winsetup.exe to set new settings, because winsetup.exe will run original game's setup. To configure game new way you should run acwin.exe with "--setup" parameter from command line.
If you don't know how to use command line in Windows, just download this batch file, copy it to game's directory too, and run anytime you want to change game settings:

Please tell, if there are any problems.

NOTE: I should underline again, this unfortunately won't work if the game uses plugin, that requires DirectDraw (meaning, there will be no difference).

EDIT: explained how to run setup having acwin.exe.

Sorry if this is reviving an old thread, but I am having some issues with an old game...

I have downloaded AGS v3.3.3 and followed Crimson Wizards instructions. With this, the game actually runs again (hooray!) but I can't seem to get it to go into fullscreen.

The game is Maniac Mansion Deleuxe, and I'm on Win8.1. Can this be solved at all? MMD is one of my favorite games, and I would love to play it again.
