Tutorial: Running LEGO Rock Raiders in Windows 10 with VirtualBox This tutorial will show you one method of running LEGO Rock Raiders in Windows 10. This may work for Windows 8 too but I haven’t tested it. Also I cannot guarantee that this will work for everyone as Rock Raiders is arguably the most fickle game to install on RRU, but hopefully it will work for you. There are a lot of instructions in this so I will break them down into steps and explain as clearly as possible. Here is an overview: 1. Download a copy of Windows XP 2. Install VirtualBox 3. Set up Windows XP 4. Install and run Rock Raiders

Finale Results! HD TEXTURES! Full body! The Character: The Parts: ^(Its in hebrew because I use a version I translated my self to hebrew) Made by me, But couldn't be done without lordtobi909 's Help! DOWNLOAD! PLEASE LIKE THIS POST! AND RATE ME!

Originally I wanted to check, if I could improve my 1:16 L.M.S. Explorer MOC, but then I decided to make a micro version of the first level from LEGO Rock Raiders (the pc version). Here is the second miniature: Frozen Frenzy. I had to make some compromises (placement of the rock types etc.), but I think, that it turned out okay. Thank you, sheepandshepherd, for making GeoTool:

Just listen to it.

More Dragon Ball. And GOD I LOVE THOSE SONGS

Just in case you're too lazy to read the whole press release, here's all the franchises that are gonna be in year two: Sonic the Hedgehog The Goonies Teen Titans Go Fantastic Beasts Harry Potter Mission Impossible E.T. Gremlins Beetlejuice LEGO City Undercover (!) The LEGO Batman Movie Adventure Time A-Team Powerpuff Girls Knight Rider Ghostbusters 2016 Combined with the IPs already in the game, that's 30 different franchises in one single game. 30. What even is this game any more. As a bonus, here's some key art for this new wave: There's a ton of new things on here, so I'm gonna go and list 'em all off at once: City Police helicopter in the left-hand corner, probably the build for the LC:U pack Raven from TTG to the left of the lego logo, with a somewhat interesting face (as in it's hilariously derped and oh boy that's gonna be the actual face isn't it) Pirate ship just above the last N in Dimensions, looks like the one from the Goonies. The Sonic art to the right of the Pirate ship is pretty damn neat. Just sayin'. Green evil gremlin in the top right corner is completely new and looks hella creepy. Just below sonic on the right-hand side, is that the Tornado? ET's eyes are much, much bigger here compared to in the trailer from earlier. What happened there? So yeah, I'm pretty damn stoked for all of this. Like seriously, this is amazing in every single way and I literally cannot wait. HYPE TRAIN CHOO CHOO.

Very nice! I quite like it without the textures actually.

Just got it running again after all these years (The Ascending Space here). Can't believe how much of an improvement this is over LRR vanilla! It's so much longer, runs better, just general improvements across the board!

A teal version could be used as a Chrome Crusher Power Drill. I am not sure, if there would other uses for it on that scale though. Fun fact: the 1:16 L.M.S. Explorer is in scale to this miniature (at least pretty close to it).

Very nice! You could also try representing some sort of vehicle with the Lego Minifigues RollerSkate Accessory! Might be a little too large though.

Thanks. I actually thought about giving some rock walls a different color, although I wonder, if it would make that much of a difference. I can try to make some changes and hope, that it will look better. P.S.: Well, there aren't that many brick&colour choices to build a tool store consisting out of one or two bricks^^

Recreating LEGO Island Progress Update - Week 6 Here's a shot of the whole island to kinda get an idea of how much I've done so far. 6 weeks work of roughly 2-3 hours a week working on this. So I've done roughly 12-18 hours on this project so far. I've still got a lot to do. At this rate I should have it done by October or November. I'm going to California this week for my older brother's graduation. I'll be gone for about 2 weeks. I'm not sure how much time I'll have to work on this while I'm gone, so I may not have any updates to post for a few weeks.

Most of the original textures are by @AaronBurner05, I just modified them for expressions and stuff. Dr. Clickitt [UPDATED]: Download [UPDATED]: http://oresome.rockraidersunited.com/download/320 Captain D. Rom [UPDATED]: Download [UPDATED]: http://oresome.rockraidersunited.com/download/321 Studz Linkin: Download: http://oresome.rockraidersunited.com/download/331 Nubby Stevens: Download: http://oresome.rockraidersunited.com/download/330 Most of these replace the same textures, but they can be renamed to replace other textures. Enjoy!

4. Install and run Rock Raiders Now for the final step. Installing Rock Raiders Insert the Rock Raiders disc or, if it’s already inserted, run it from My Computer. Now follow through the installation instructions to install it. You may get a message about a Direct3D accelerator not being found, or something similar, if so just ignore it. When it’s finished, click Yes, I want to restart my computer now. and press Finish to restart the computer. Running Rock Raiders After logging back in you will find two new Rock Raiders shortcuts on your desktop. Right-click on the LEGO Rock Raiders - Enhanced shortcut and select Properties from the menu. Under the Shortcut tab you will see a section named Target:. At the end of this box should be a line saying -best. Replace this with -ftm so that it appears as so: Click Apply, then OK, to save these settings. Now run the shortcut by double-clicking it. After the initial loading screen a Mode Selection window will appear. Choose Window from the Window Size section as Full Screen doesn’t work. Now click OK to launch the game. Congratulations, you have successfully installed and run Rock Raiders! Final notes To install mods or transfer files from your Rock Raiders game to your PC, just place the files in the shared folder and they can be accessed from both Windows XP and Windows 10 systems. The Windows XP virtual machine is only valid for 30 days as it’s a trial. However, it is possible to simply delete the machine and set it up again in VirtualBox (assuming you transfer any important files into your shared folder to save them) to restart the trial, but I’m not sure if that’s legal/in breach of their terms and conditions.

3. Set up Windows XP Now it’s time to “install” Windows XP on your computer. Create a machine In VirtualBox, select New from the toolbar. In the Name: box, enter Windows XP. The Version: box should automatically change to read Windows XP (32-bit). Click Next to choose the memory size. I recommend choosing 1024MB if you have more than 1GB of RAM on your computer, otherwise go with 512MB. Click Next to select the hard disk. Select Use an existing virtual hard disk file, then click the small folder icon with a green arrow. Choose the VirtualXPVHD.vhd file in your VirtualBox folder. Finally, click Create. You should see the following interface in the VirtualBox main window: Perform the initial setup Click the green Start arrow from the toolbar to launch Windows XP. A new window will appear and Windows XP Setup will promptly launch. Wait for the system to initialise. Before doing anything, right-click the small icon of a mouse with a green arrow in the bottom-right corner. Click Mouse Integration to enable using the mouse in Windows XP, then click anywhere in the window to bring up a dialogue. Check Do not show this message again, then click Capture. To free the mouse again so that you can use it outside of Windows XP, just press the Right Control button on your keyboard. Later you can update this to be smoother, but the system must be set up first. Follow the instructions to set up Windows XP. Upon completion you will probably hit a black screen. Press Right Control to release the mouse, then click File and Close... to bring up a dialogue window. Check Power off the machine and press OK to quit Windows XP. Now click Start again to re-launch Windows XP. You may have to disable Mouse Integration again. Click through the final menus (I turned off Automatic Updates and didn’t install any of the requested hardware) to get to your desktop. Install a Guest Now to make things a little easier. Press Right Control again to free your mouse, then click on Devices from the top menu. Choose Insert Guest Additions CD image... from the dropdown. A window will appear in Windows XP. Follow through the dialogues to install Guest Additions - you can ignore the Direct 3D thingymawatt when given the option to choose it. You may have several Software Installation warning windows appear, just click Continue Anyway on each one. When finished, click Reboot Now and press OK. You’ll probably hit another black screen, so press File then Close... again, followed by Power off the machine and OK as you did before. Now that this is done you can freely use the mouse between your Windows 10 computer and the Windows XP virtual system, without having to turn on/off mouse integration. Link your disk drive Now to link your Windows XP’s disk drive to your physical one. Click Devices from the top menu bar, then highlight Optical Drives and click Host Drive ‘#:’ from the sub-menu. Depending on your hardware setup the # may appear as a D, F, or other letter. If LEGO Rock Raiders is already inserted into your disk drive, it will likely auto-run the installation setup. For now, just click Cancel then Exit Setup to quit out of it. Create a shared folder The last thing to do before installing Rock Raiders is to create a shared folder. This will act as a link between your Windows 10 files and your Windows XP files. Click Machine from the top menu, then select Settings... from the drop-down menu. Now select the Shared Folders tab. Click the small blue folder icon with a green plus sign on it, to the right of the window. An Add Share window will appear. Next to Folder Path:, select Other... and choose where you would like to create a shared folder. I’m putting mine inside my VirtualBox folder. Check Auto-mount and Make Permanent, then click OK. Now press OK again to save the settings. Now if you reboot the Windows XP system (Start > Shut Down > Restart > OK), then go to My Computer you will find a new folder under Network Drives. Files placed in here are accessible through your shared folder on Windows 10 and vice-versa. Change the screen resolution and bit depth Before installing Rock Raiders you will need to change your display settings. Right-click on the desktop and select Properties from the menu. A Display Properties window will appear. Select the Settings tab, then slide Screen resolution to your preferred level - I’m using 1152 by 864. Then, under Color quality, choose Medium (16 bit). Click Apply then Yes to confirm the changes, and finally press OK. Good job, you’ve set up Windows XP!

2. Install VirtualBox If you don’t already have VirtualBox on your computer you will need to install it now. Click here to go to the downloads page for VirtualBox. I have linked to the test builds as Windows 10 isn’t quite supported on the complete releases, but rest assured that I have tested it the latest build on my computer with no problems. Download the Windows version under 5.0.x builds. Once the file is downloaded, run it and follow the instructions to install VirtualBox. Once installed, launch VirtualBox. Select File from the top menu bar, then click Preferences.... Under the General tab, click the dropdown arrow next to the Default Machine Folder and choose Other.... Then select/create a folder where you would like your Windows XP system to be run from. I have chosen a custom VirtualBox folder in my Documents folder. Finally, move the VirtualXPVHD.vhd file into the above folder to keep things organised. Great, you have installed and configured VirtualBox!

1. Download a copy of Windows XP. Credit for this first part of the tutorial goes to download3K for their article here, which I have adapted below. Downloading the File The first thing you will need to do is download a copy of Windows XP. Thankfully this can be done legally with no purchase necessary (at least temporarily). Follow this link to go to Microsoft’s download page for Windows XP Mode, which was designed for Windows 7 but never adapted for Windows 8 or 10. Click Download, then select the checkbox next to the first file: WindowsXPMode_en-us.exe. Then click Next to open the Save As dialogue window. Save the file in your desired location, such as the Downloads folder. This file is just under 470MB so it may take a while. Installing 7-Zip If you don’t have the program 7-Zip already you will need to download and install it. Windows’ own extraction tool isn’t enough and 7-Zip is a useful tool to have anyway. Click here to download the software, making sure you choose the correct type depending on your system (32-bit or 64-bit). I’m going to download the 64-bit .msi file as I have a 64-bit system. If you’re unsure about which one to get, right-click on the Windows start menu icon (at the bottom-left of your screen) and select System. Save the file and run it to install 7-Zip. Extracting the File With 7-Zip installed, look for the WindowsXPMode_en-us file you downloaded earlier. Right-click on it, highlight 7-Zip from the pop-up menu, then select Extract to “WindowsXPMode_en-us\” from the sub-menu. Open the WindowsXPMode_en-us folder that appears when 7-Zip is finished, then open sources to find three files. The top one, xpm, is the file you’re looking for. Right-click on the file, highlight 7-Zip from the pop-up menu, then select Open archive from the sub-menu. A 7-Zip window will appear showing the contents of the file. Select the file named VirtualXPVHD by clicking on it, then select Extract from the toolbar above (the blue minus sign). Click OK on the window that appears to extract the file. Now you can close 7-Zip. Go back to the sources folder and you will find a new VirtualXPVHD file. Rename this to VirtualXPVHD.vhd. Copy it to another folder (I chose Downloads), then delete the original WindowsXPMode_en-us folder and WindowsXPMode_en-us.exe file to tidy up. Excellent, you have downloaded the Windows XP operating system to your computer!
