Revision as of 17:34, 17 July 2024
These are issues connected only to the "Speedy Blupi" games, not "Speedy Eggbert" games.
DirectPlay is missing on Windows
Solution: Install DirectPlay
(DirectPlay is marked as a "Legacy Component" in the latest versions of Windows operating systems)
Another issues can be caused by the Antivirus. Or try to change the compatibility mode.
Speedy Blupi game requires CD-ROM
Open the file{install dir}/DATA/Config.def with a text editor (like notepad, for example).
Change line like CD-Rom=V:\US
to CD-Rom=-nocd
Note: Speedy Eggbert does not have these CD-ROM checks.

How to show keyboard and mouse presses in the realtime
Maybe this will work: https://github.com/Jax-Core/Keystrokes
How to play multiplayer over Internet
Hamachi. Maybe an alternative exists
How to run on Android
Use one of these:
- ExaGear [2]
- Winlator
- Limbo PC Emulator with Windows 95 or later operating system installed
Gamepad can be simulated by: GameKeyboard + [3]
How to run on Raspberry Pi
Not tested: https://github.com/ryanfortner/exagear-rpi
Not tested: https://box86.org/
How to run on ReactOS
ReactOS is a free and open-source operating system for i586/amd64 personal computers intended to be binary-compatible with computer programs and device drivers developed for Windows Server 2003 and later versions of Microsoft Windows.

Speedy Blupi/Eggbert runs on React OS.
- But more investigation is needed.
Issues found until now:
- Game play is not possible. Blupi/Eggbert is moving at the right direction without pressing keys. Fix was not yet found.
What works:
- Demo playing
How to run on Steam Deck
- Open the file /DATA/Config.def with a text editor. Change line like
CD-Rom=V:\US
toCD-Rom=-nocd
- Copy the installation directory on the Deck.
- Create a "non-steam" shortcut on the deck and point it to BLUPI.EXE
- Select the compatibility tab, check "Force compatibility layer" and select "Proton 7.0"
- Add the following to "Launch options" on the shortcut:
PROTON_USE_WINED3D=1 PROTON_NO_ESYNC=1 PROTON_NO_FSYNC=1 %command% -nocd
- Switch back to gaming mode (if you were on desktop mode), make sure the controller profile is set to Keyboard + Mouse, launch it
Background music is not working. You can fix it by installing Qsynth and sound fonts.
How to enable the cheat-player
How to create a replay
Conditions: cheat-player must be enabled
- Open the player and take world 300 to 320 [6]
- Delete the old level and create a new level or load another level
- Play the level.
- If you loose a life, the replay can have a mistake. This maybe impacts only version 2, because there the death animation is not deterministic (2 Eggbert death animations exist) (Missing reference, it needs to be added)
