Has anyone had any luck running Stunt Rally on Windows 10? always had a ton of fun playing it on vista and 7 but vant get it too work anymore anyone got any idea??

It's been over a year now, but I've made some progress on this for my own setup, for whatever that's worth. I'm on Wine, but I think this should work for normal Windows installations, too. For me, Cyrem was on the right track about the Indeo 5 codec not being installed — it's just that the "Basic K-Lite codec pack" they recommended didn't work for me either. Instead, I figured out the instructions below. For anyone trawling through old posts to try to fix this issue, here's the crash error message I was encountering every time a video would try to play (whether on game startup, winning/losing a race, or when viewing a boss intro video): Runtime Error! Program: [path]/LEGO Stunt Rally/_msr.exe abnormal program termination For Windows Vista and above, this codec are actually already built into the OS, it's just that the DLL containing the codec isn't registered by default. To register the DLL containing the codec, type or copy/paste each of the lines below (minus the "C:/> " portion) into an elevated (Administrator) command prompt. PowerShell works, too. (only enter the first line if on a 64-bit system, otherwise skip to the second command) C:/> cd C:\Windows\SysWOW64 C:/> regsvr32 ir50_32.dll If you need to unregister the DLL containing codec for any reason, you can enter the following commands: (only enter the first line if on a 64-bit system, otherwise skip to the second command) C:/> cd C:\Windows\SysWOW64 C:/> regsvr32 /u ir50_32.dll For Windows XP and below (useful for when using a VM or Wine), you'll need to install the codec from free-codecs.com and use the "typical" install option. I know the website name sounds sketchy as hell, but apparently it's a semi-official repository for this codec? Regardless, it's the only one that really worked for me, and it didn't install any crapware — just the intended codec. I tried other installers from other sites, but they kept getting stuck on the "searching for Netscape installations" (lol). So take that as you will. I also ended up using the alternate installer that someone created to work on more modern systems (works on XP and above), but I don't think that had much to do with my success here. This also automatically adds shortcuts that don't require the CD, if that interests you at all. If you do opt to use this installer, know that there's a minor bug that can make it fail to copy "dsetup.dll" from the install media to the application folder on the hard drive. After doing the above, I was able to launch the game without needing to use /NOINTROVIDEO — since the game no longer crashes when trying to play a video.

*digs up SR installation* Mine runs totally fine on Win10 - but with a couple of notes. I'm using the command line parameter /FROMLAUNCHER with /NOINTROVIDEO and /FREEFORM. I'm also using integrated graphics as opposed to a graphics card. I'd guess that those command line parameters do it - chances are it's the Win10 disk-DRM which has exploded (just google SafeDisc for more information). Create a shortcut to _msr.exe, right-click the shortcut, properties, and then in the target box write /FROMLAUNCHER /NOINTROVIDEO /FREEFORM so you end up with something like this "C:\AidenFiles\Lego Games\Racers 3 (StuntRally)\_msr.exe" /FROMLAUNCHER /NOINTROVIDEO /FREEFORM /FROMLAUNCHER means the game no longer requires its disk to run. /NOINTROVIDEO does ExactlyWhatItSaysOnTheTin, which is get rid of the intro cutscene. /FREEFORM allows you to actually control your car (although it does break some maps with regards to checkpoints and laps). Give that a go. It's probably only /FROMLAUNCHER that will do the trick, but you can add the other two in anyway.

I modified the bike color over in world.wdb and now the external color is different. Aside from figuring out which bike it was (there's like 5 copies of the same model for some reason?) this part was easy. As for the dashboard (over in ISLE.SI - a separate file) I tried fiddling with it for a bit but the way the bitmap is structured I noped out after a few hours, sorry.

I'm not sure if this is redundant compared to this, but considering we haven't made a whole lot of progress since that posting, I figured I might as well bring this up here. You all remember Supper, right? If not, he was the one who uploaded this video. It naturally got a lot of attention but he was surprisingly quiet about it despite all the comments y'all bombarded that video with. Turns out this was the result of a little extracting tool he hacked together. After being impressed with his work on his Humongous Entertainment rippers, I thought I'd ask him how he got it. His response: Here we are nearly two weeks later, and here it is. It's not quite as nice as the Riff tool as it doesn't rip files by their actual names, but I thought you would want a look at it anyway. He's included the source code (this one is coded in C instead of Python) so I thought that would be a help as well. This works as a command line -- you simply stick whatever SI file you want in the same folder as the exe, and run it as "lierip [filename].si". For a list of parameters, simply type "lierip". Thus far, it only rips sounds, videos, and bitmaps. Again, I don't know how much further it gets us, but I thought you would at least like to give it a try. Don't expect anything great -- again, he outright admitted he didn't spend much time on this, but seeing how the source code is included, maybe someone else could pick up the project and push it a little further.

Oh yeah the Rebuilder is required for running LEGO Island nowadays (in my opinion) because it not only let's you use the HQ music but also lets you unhook the turning speed so you don't throw up while playing and still keep the frame rate high as well as letting you modify all sorts of other things without having to hop in the files yourself. (Not spon just love this tool.)
