Midtown Madness
Game: Midtown Madness (Windows, 1999)
An open-source reimplementation of Midtown Madness, specifically of build 1560 of the Sneak Preview beta. It is a partial rewrite: the functions not yet rewritten in C++ are provided in assembly (the repository includes game.asm). It aims to allow bug fixes, new features, and porting to platforms the original didn’t support. Notable changes include an OpenGL renderer, SDL gamepad support, and fixes for audio, crashes, input, and stuttering, plus an improved debug menu and text rendering and better performance. According to its documentation it usually runs well without tweaks and needs neither the XP patch nor dgVoodoo. The only version published on GitHub, “Latest Build”, is from April 19, 2023; the repository’s last commit is from April 20, 2026.
You needFiles from your own original copy of Midtown Madness: for a minimal installation only audio.ar, core.ar, and ui.ar are required. Windows (Wine is also mentioned) and a graphics card with OpenGL.
