Grim Fandango Setup and Launcher
There are two parts to this project; an installer and a launcher program.
Grim Fandango Setup
A replacement installer (setup program) for Grim Fandango. The installer that comes with the game can be problematic with newer versions of Windows and refuses to work at all on 64 bit Windows.
This installer works on both 32 bit and 64 bit versions of Windows and has been tested on Windows XP and Vista. It should work fine with all Windows versions though. It performs a full install of the game, meaning that the cd’s are not needed to play.
Grim Fandango Launcher
An improved version of the launcher program that shipped with Grim Fandango, it has a number of features not present in the original launcher:
- Can run Grim Fandango from hard drive (play without the cd’s) and can automatically copy the required files to the hard drive.
- Can run Grim Fandango in windowed mode.
- Automatically enables Grim Fandango’s developer/debug mode. (The good_times registry key).
- Provides a synopsis of debug features and debug keys.
- Can download and install the official Grim Fandango patch if its not applied.
- Supports all recent versions of Windows (XP, XP64, XP MCE, Vista, Vista64). Windows 98, ME and 2000 are not officially supported but should work correctly.
